This file documents some of the problems you may encounter when upgrading your ports. We try our best to minimize these disruptions, but sometimes they are unavoidable. You should get into the habit of checking this file for changes each time you update your ports collection, before attempting any port upgrades. 20140413: AFFECTS: Users of Python and pkg >= 1.2.7_1 AUTHOR: koobs@FreeBSD.org There have been reports of the following error when upgrading Python ports: pkg-static: Plist error, directory listed as a file: .egg-info The cause is an outdated or unpatched version of setuptools or distribute installed by the user, or leftover from previous upgrades being used during the `setup.py install` phase. pkg >= 1.2.7_1 now generates an error where previously it did not. Users should inspect their ${LOCALBASE}/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages directory, and remove any entries that reference versions of setuptools or distribute *not* provided by ports or packages. Examples of entries that may be removed are: 1) distribute-0.6.35-py2.7.egg 2) setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg 3) *Any* version of setuptools directly from PyPi via pip or easy_install More information is available here: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2014-April/091618.html 20140410: AFFECTS: users of mail/vpopmail AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org If you are storing limits in MySQL, the following schema changes must be made: ALTER TABLE `limits` ADD `disable_maildrop` TINYINT(1) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL AFTER `disable_spamassassin`; ALTER TABLE `limits` MODIFY `diskquota` BIGINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT 0; ALTER TABLE `limits` MODIFY `maxmsgcount` BIGINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT 0; ALTER TABLE `limits` MODIFY `defaultquota` BIGINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT 0; ALTER TABLE `limits` MODIFY `defaultmaxmsgcount` BIGINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT 0; 20140403: AFFECTS: users of net/rabbitmq AUTHOR: olgeni@FreeBSD.org This release changes the behaviour of the default "guest" user. Previously the guest user could be accessed from any network location. In RabbitMQ 3.3.0 and later, the guest user can only be accessed via localhost by default. Any other users you create will not (by default) be restricted in this way. See http://www.rabbitmq.com/access-control.html for more information. 20140403: AFFECTS: users of net/kdnssd AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org KDE SC ports have been updated to 4.12.4. kdnssd package has been renamed to match upstream naming. pkgng users need to update package origin manually: # pkg set -o net/kdnssd:net/zeroconf-ioslave 20140402: AFFECTS: users of textproc/elasticsearch AUTHOR: tj@FreeBSD.org Elasticsearch has been updated to version 1.1.0. If you are updating from a version prior to 1.0.0 you will need to do a full cluster shutdown for this update as it can not be performed in a rolling fashion. 20140401: AFFECTS: users of security/gnutls3 AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org Libdane support is no longer enabled by default. Rebuild the port with the LIBDANE option if danetool is desired. 20140331: AFFECTS: users of print/cups-client and print/cups-image AUTHOR: bsam@FreeBSD.org CUPS ports have been updated to version 1.7.1. A file has migrated from cups-image port to cups-client. Before upgrading you should force the removal of cups-image port, otherwise it will conflict with the new one. pkg users: # pkg delete -f cups-image\* other users: # pkg_delete -f cups-image\* 2. Install/upgrade other cups* packages. If cups-filters complains about a missing cups/raster.h include, try reinstalling the cups-client package. 20140327: AFFECTS: users of lang/php5 and lang/php55 with Apache module AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org The Apache PHP module has been separated from the main PHP port. If it is needed, install either www/mod_php5 or www/mod_php55. 20140322: AFFECTS: users of devel/apr1 AUTHOR: ohauer@FreeBSD.org APR was updated to 1.5.0, BDB requirement was bumped to 48+ Please rebuild all ports which are using functions from APR/APR-util such as Apache, Subversion, etc. # portmaster -r apr or # portupgrade -r devel/apr1 or # pkg install -fR devel/apr1 20140318: AFFECTS: users of net/openldap24-server AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org Please note that Berkeley DB backend is now deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Existing users should migrate data to the new MDB backend when possible. 20140317: AFFECTS: users of misc/ossp-uuid-perl AUTHOR: culot@FreeBSD.org misc/ossp-uuid-perl was replaced by misc/p5-OSSP-uuid. Please do the following according to package manager used. # portmaster -o misc/p5-OSSP-uuid misc/ossp-uuid-perl or # portupgrade -fo misc/p5-OSSP-uuid misc/ossp-uuid-perl or # pkg set -o misc/p5-OSSP-uuid:misc/ossp-uuid-perl 20140312: AFFECTS: users of net/openistgt AUTHOR: jpaetzel@FreeBSD.org Between istgt supporting target reload, and iscsid using CTL there is no point to this port. As such it has been deleted without warning, since the support for it is as best questionable. pkgng users: # pkg set -o net/openistgt:net/istgt portmaster users: # portmaster -o net/istgt net/openistgt # portmaster -r istgt portupgrade users: # portupgrade -o net/istgt -f net/openistgt # portupgrade -fr net/istgt 20140310: AFFECTS: users of mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin and japanese/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin AUTHOR: ohauer@FreeBSD.org The port mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin was renamed to mail/spamassassin and the port japanese/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin was renamed to japanese/spamassassin. To ease upgrading run the following set of commands: pkgng users: # pkg set -o mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin:mail/spamassassin # pkg set -o japanese/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin:japanese/spamassassin portmaster users: # portmaster -o mail/spamassassin mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin # portmaster -o japanese/spamassassin japanese/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin 20140307: AFFECTS: users of devel/py-setuptools dependent ports AUTHOR: sunpoet@FreeBSD.org devel/py-setuptools is being used for every python ports (if USE_PYDISTUTILS defined) since r336553. Due to PKGORIGIN limitation, we cannot build one python port with python27 and the other with python33 since they require different setuptools versions which have same PKGORIGIN. With the addition of py-setuptools{27,32,33}, we could now have py27-foo and py33-bar coexist in one system. Note that this is only a short-term solution. It does not help if you need coexistence of one port with different python versions, e.g. py27-foo and py33-foo. Please rebuild all ports that depend on devel/py-setuptools and use devel/py-setuptools{27,32,33} instead. XX represents python version (27, 32 or 33) in the following steps. pkgng users: # pkg set -o devel/py-setuptools:devel/py-setuptoolsXX portmaster users: # portmaster -o devel/py-setuptoolsXX devel/py-setuptools # portmaster -r py\*setuptools portupgrade users: # portupgrade -o devel/py-setuptoolsXX -f devel/py-setuptools # portupgrade -fr devel/py-setuptools 20140304: AFFECTS: users of security/kwallet AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org KDE SC ports have been updated to 4.12.3. kwallet package has been renamed to match upstream naming. pkgng users need to update package origin manually: # pkg set -o security/kwallet:security/kwalletmanager 20140302: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/ansible AUTHOR: rm@FreeBSD.org This is an major update and changes were introduced in ansible 1.5, that are not backward compatible. Please refer changelog there before update: https://raw.github.com/ansible/ansible/v1.5.0/CHANGELOG.md 20140223: AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/mk-livestatus AUTHOR: ohauer@FreeBSD.org livecheck was removed in 1.2.3.i5. It never was really stable, Nagios4 has something similar built in. Please remove the "livecheck=..." directive from etc/nagios/nagios.cfg. 20140222: AFFECTS: users of mail/courier-imap AUTHOR: oliver@FreeBSD.org When using SSL and updating from an older version, run mkdhparams(8) to create the new TLS_DHPARAMS file which is needed for Courier IMAP 4.15 and up. 20140222: AFFECTS: users of net-im/turpial AUTHOR: olivierd@FreeBSD.org Turpial has been updated to 3.0, due to changes in net-im/turpial port it will be necessary to remove it before updating. 20140220: AFFECTS: users of editors/vim AUTHOR: sunpoet@FreeBSD.org The editors/vim port has been reworked to simplify option handling. In UI option group, a new option (CONSOLE) was added for users who do not need GUI support. This option is off by default. You might encounter install or package failures with "old" option setting. Please run "make config" to modify your setting. 20140219: AFFECTS: users of textproc/docbook* AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org The textproc/docbook-* ports have been consolidated into two ports textproc/docbook-sgml and textproc/docbook-xml. Before upgrading you should force the removal of the existing ports, they will conflict with the new ones. pkg users can run: pkg delete -f docbook-xml\* docbook-sk\* docbook\[2345\]\?\?-\* docbook-4\* the other users can run: pkg_delete -f docbook-xml\* docbook-sk\* docbook\[2345\]\?\?-\* docbook-4\* 20140218: AFFECTS: users of KDE SC 4 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org KDE SC ports have been updated to 4.12.2. kdeadmin, kdenetwork, kdesdk, and kdetoys ports have been split due to upstream changes. KDE Workspace port has been updated to 4.11.6. It requires modern Mesa libraries, provided by WITH_NEW_XORG knob. To update Xorg ports to newer version follow instructions at https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics 20140218: AFFECTS: users of misc/kdehier4 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org KDE4_PREFIX has been changed from /usr/local/kde4 to /usr/local. All ports that depends on kdehier4 must be reinstalled. PORTREVISION for affected ports has been increased, upgrading tools (portmaster, pkg) should handle this update without manual intervention. Please check /usr/local/kde4 for leftovers after upgrade. If you don't have locally modified files, e.g. under /usr/local/kde4/etc, you may safely remove /usr/local/kde4. 20140214: AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.12 AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org Perl 5.12 has been removed. The default Perl is lang/perl5.16. pkg(8) users: 1) Update the origin to point to 5.16: pkg set -o lang/perl5.12:lang/perl5.16 2) Upgrade perl and all dependencies: pkg install -Rf lang/perl5.16 Portupgrade users: 0) Fix pkgdb.db (for safety): pkgdb -Ff 1) Reinstall new version of Perl (5.16): portupgrade -o lang/perl5.16 -f lang/perl5.12 2) Reinstall everything that depends on Perl: portupgrade -fr lang/perl5.16 Portmaster users: portmaster -o lang/perl5.16 lang/perl5.12 Conservative: portmaster p5- Comprehensive (but perhaps overkill): portmaster -r perl- Note: If the "perl-" glob matches more than one port specify the name of the Perl directory in /var/db/pkg explicitly. Also, depending on when perl 5.12 was installed last, the prefix may be perl-, perl5- or perl5.12-. 20140211: AFFECTS: users of lang/php* database/postgresql* database/mysql* www/apache* AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org The default versions of lang/php*, databases/postgresql*, databases/mysql* and www/apache* have been changed to support the new DEFAULT_VERSIONS variable. DEFAULT_APACHE_VER, DEFAULT_MYSQL_VER, DEFAULT_PGSQL_VER, DEFAULT_FPC_VER and DEFAULT_PHP_VER are now deprecated. You can use the new DEFAULT_VERSIONS variable like this: DEFAULT_VERSIONS=php=5.5 mysql=5.6 apache=2.4 20140208: AFFECTS: users of spamdyke AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org Spamdyke has been updated to 5.0.0. The behavior has changed from 4.x. Please see the upgrading notes at: http://www.spamdyke.org/documentation/UPGRADING_version_4_to_version_5.txt 20140208: AFFECTS: users of icu AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org icu has been updated to 52.1. Please rebuild all ports that depend on it if you have the glib20 port built with COLLATION_FIX option activated If you use portmaster: portmaster -w -r icu If you use portupgrade: portupgrade -fr devel/icu If you use pkgng with binary packages: pkg install -fR devel/icu 20140201: AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/zabbix* AUTHOR: koobs@FreeBSD.org The login shell for the zabbix user in UIDs was changed from /usr/sbin/nologin to /bin/sh to fix the zabbix-agent UserParameter feature. To update the existing user on your system, run: # pw usermod zabbix -s /bin/sh 20140114: AFFECTS: users of www/mod_authnz_external AUTHOR: ohauer@FreeBSD.org www/mod_authnz_external was moved to www/mod_authnz_external22 Please do the following according to package manager used. # portmaster -o www/mod_authnz_external22 www/mod_authnz_external or # portupgrade -fo www/mod_authnz_external22 www/mod_authnz_external or # pkg set -o www/mod_authnz_external:www/mod_authnz_external22 20140113: AFFECTS: users of net/samba41 AUTHOR: timur@FreeBSD.org With the introduction of Samba 4.1 corresponding port lost SWAT support and made WINBIND support mandatory. As samba4 introduced additional 'samba' daemon to the tripplet of nmbd/smbd/winbindd to avoid confusion startup script for samba41 was renamed to 'samba_server'. To start the whole band up it's enough to add to the rc.conf: samba_server_enable="YES" Startup script tries it's best to guess which out of samba/nmbd/smbd/winbindd daemons have to be started, but you can fine tune this by specifying them in rc.conf, just make sure that samba_server_enable is enabled(see entry for 20121022). 20140112: AFFECTS: users of devel/libical AUTHOR: kwm@FreeBSD.org The libical port was updated to 1.0.0. Due to the shared library bump and the removal of the .la file, all ports that use libical need to be rebuilt. # portmaster -r libical or # portupgrade -fr libical or # pkg install -fR libical 20140111: AFFECTS: users of lang/go AUTHOR: jlaffaye@FreeBSD.org Third party Go packages installed via the ports tree are no longer installed in GOROOT (PREFIX/go) but in a specific path: PREFIX/share/go Affected ports had their PORTREVISION bumped. To reinstall these packages via the ports tree, it is needed to deinstall them first (the build will fail if the `go` command detects that they already exists in GOROOT). If you are using these third party Go packages for local Go development, you have to add this new path to your GOPATH environment variable. 20140107: AFFECTS: users of Qt 4 ports AUTHOR: makc@FreeBSD.org Qt 4 ports framework has been reworked, several ports have been renamed. To ease upgrading run the following set of commands: # pkg set -o devel/qt4-declarative:x11-toolkits/qt4-declarative # pkg set -o devel/qt4-qtestlib:devel/qt4-testlib # pkg set -o textproc/qt4-clucene:textproc/clucene-qt4 # pkg set -o www/qt4-webkit:www/webkit-qt4 # pkg set -o x11/qt4-opengl:graphics/qt4-opengl 20140102: AFFECTS: users of archivers/p7zip AUTHOR: rakuco@FreeBSD.org The MINIMAL and MODULES options have been removed from archivers/p7zip, which now unconditionally installs the 7z, 7za and 7zr, as if the MINIMAL option was previously unset. The RAR decompression codec, whose source code has a more restrictive license that forbids its use for creating RAR archives, has been moved to a separate port, archivers/p7zip-codec-rar. 20131230: AFFECTS: ports using Apache Software License 2.0 AUTHOR: ohauer@FreeBSD.org The acronym for Apache Software License 2.0 was renamed to APACHE20 20131226: AFFECTS: users of security/cyrus-sasl2 AUTHOR: ume@FreeBSD.org The SASL GSSAPI authentication plugin was removed from security/cyrus-sasl2 port and divided into new security/cyrus-sasl2-gssapi port. If you are using the SASL GSSAPI authentication, please install security/cyrus-sasl2-gssapi port, in addition to upgrading security/cyrus-sasl2 port. 20131218: AFFECTS: users of news/cnews AUTHOR: dinoex@FreeBSD.org The default path for overview files has changed. Rebuild your overview files after the update with: su - news /usr/local/libexec/cnews/nov/initov 20131217: AFFECTS: users of databases/ruby-bdb or ports-mgmt/portupgrade and databases/db5 or databases/db6 AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org databases/db5 and databases/db6 have recently been updated to fix bugs. This changed their patchlevel version. However, ruby-bdb used to break during the db[56] upgrade due to a bug described in . THEREFORE, YOU MUST MANUALLY UPGRADE databases/ruby-bdb INDIVIDUALLY TO 0.6.6_2 OR NEWER WHEN USING portupgrade AGAINST databases/db[56] PORTS. To achieve that, type: # portupgrade databases/ruby-bdb or # portmaster -x 'db*' databases/ruby-bdb before proceeding with other upgrades. Should you have corrupted the portupgrade databases, or if ruby-bdb refuses to work with the upgraded db* port with errors such as "DB needs compatible versions of libdb & db.h", then rebuild the ruby-bdb port manually, and fix the portupgrade databases: # make -C /usr/ports/databases/ruby-bdb all deinstall install clean # pkgdb -fu # portupgrade -f db5 db6 This should return portupgrade to normal operation. 20131216: AFFECTS: users of x11/xorg, graphics/libGL, graphics/dri, all xorg ports AUTHOR: zeising@FreeBSD.org The default xorg version has been switched on FreeBSD CURRENT. To upgrade graphics/libGL, graphics/dri and related MESA ports, it is necessary to first remove the old versions of those ports. No special upgrade procedure is needed for xorg port but it is necessary to recompile all xorg drivers (xf86-*) and other ports that depend on the xserver version, including emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions. Portrevisions have been bumped where needed, but users of drivers not in the ports tree will need to recompile those. If it is important to stay on the old versions, it is possible to specify WITHOUT_NEW_XORG= in /etc/make.conf to get the old xorg distribution. To update: # pkg_delete -f libGL-\* dri-\* or # pkg delete -f libGL dri followed by # portmaster graphics/dri graphics/libGL or # portupgrade graphics/dri graphics/libGL and then # portmaster -a or # portupgrade -a 20131216: AFFECTS: users of databases/db4* AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org Berkeley DB versions before and excluding 4.8 have been marked deprecated. New port installations should be based on Berkeley DB 5 or 6. Note that Oracle Berkeley DB 6 is under the more restrictive Affero GPL v3 license, be sure to review if using that fits your requirements. You can add WITH_BDB_VER=5 or WITH_BDB_VER=6 to /etc/make.conf to have all applications that get rebuilt use Oracle Berkeley DB 5 or 6, respectively. DO NOT FORCE DELETE older BerkeleyDB packages, that breaks the upgrade tools. Instead, first rebuild the ports that depend on it, then remove the old Berkeley DB versions. Berkeley DB ports should be able to build/install with an older and a newer version version both installed if WITH_BDB_VER is set. If a port then grabs the old Berkeley DB version, that is an issue with the port that requires Berkeley DB, and should be reported to the maintainer. If you are interested in upgrading now already, we have instructions at . 20131209: AFFECTS: users of dns/bind96, dns/bind98 and bind99 on FreeBSD 10.0 AUTHOR: erwin@FreeBSD.org Bind versions before 9.6.3.2.ESV.R10_2, 9.8.6_2, and 9.9.4_2 on FreeBSD 10.0 will replace named.conf on upgrade. Make sure to backup any local changes before upgrading to the _2 versions. 20131208: AFFECTS: users of java/subversion-java AUTHOR: ohauer@FreeBSD.org java/subversion-java was moved to java/java-subversion. Please do the following according to package manager used. # portmaster -o java/java-subversion java/subversion-java or # portupgrade -fo java/java-subversion java/subversion-java or # pkg set -o java/subversion-java:java/java-subversion 20131208: AFFECTS: users of x11-toolkits/vte AUTHOR: kwm@FreeBSD.org The gnome-pty-helper program has been split off from the vte package to allow both vte and vte3 to be installed at the same time. To update after this change please do the following: # pkg_delete -f vte\* or # pkg delete -fg vte\* followed by # portmaster x11-toolkits/vte or # portupgrade x11-toolkits/vte 20131207: AFFECTS: users of mail/opensmtpd AUTHOR: ashish@FreeBSD.org There has been changes to the OpenSMTPD configuration. Please refer to smtpd.conf(5), and use "smtpd -nf smtpd.conf" to validate. 20131203: AFFECTS: users of graphics/opencv, graphics/opencv-core AUTHOR: jhale@FreeBSD.org OpenCV has been updated to 2.4.7. Due to movement of files between the opencv port and the opencv-core port, it will be necessary to remove both packages before updating. # pkg_delete -f opencv\* or # pkg delete -fg opencv\* followed by # portmaster -a or # portupgrade -a 20131127: AFFECTS: users of devel/py-distribute (i.e you) AUTHOR: wg@FreeBSD.org devel/py-distribute was replaced with devel/py-setuptools. Please do the following according to package manager used. py-distribute port will be removed shortly. # portmaster -o devel/py-setuptools devel/py-distribute or # portupgrade -fo devel/py-setuptools devel/py-distribute or # pkg set -o devel/py-distribute:devel/py-setuptools # pkg install -f devel/py-setuptools 20131125: AFFECTS: users of www/mod_wsgi AUTHOR: ohauer@FreeBSD.org The port www/mod_wsgi moved to www/mod_wsgi2 to reflect the port version. # portmaster -o www/mod_wsgi2 www/mod_wsgi or # portupgrade -fo www/mod_wsgi2 www/mod_wsgi or # pkg set -o www/mod_wsgi:www/mod_wsgi2 20131120: AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.12 lang/perl5.14 lang/perl5.16 and lang/perl5.18 AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org The THREADS option has been enabled by default in all Perl. If you're using binary packages you need to do : # pkg install -Rf perl5 If you're not using binary packages, and want to switch from non threaded Perl to threaded Perl, you need to recompile and reinstall most ports depending on Perl. Supposing you have Perl 5.16, you would do: Portupgrade users: 0) Fix pkgdb.db (for safety): pkgdb -Ff 1) Change the option in lang/perl5.16: make -C /usr/ports/lang/perl5.16 config 2) Reinstall everything that depends on Perl: portupgrade -fr lang/perl5.16 Portmaster users: 1) Change the option in lang/perl5.16: make -C /usr/ports/lang/perl5.16 config 2) Reinstall everything that depends on Perl: portmaster -r perl5- Note: The installed Perl package was named perl and is now named perl5, if you have not updated your installation in a long time, you may need to use "perl-" here. 20131112: AFFECTS: users of dns/nsd AUTHOR: erwin@FreeBSD.org dns/nsd was updated to the new 4.0.0 major release. This version replaces the nsdc control program with nsd-control. This requires some manual setup with nsd-control-setup and editing of the config files. nsd-control is incompatible with nsdc so when that is used in scripts, these should be adapted. More information: http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/svn/nsd/tags/NSD_4_0_0_REL/doc/NSD-4-features NSD version 3 is still supported in dns/nsd3. To keep the old version: # portmaster -o dns/nsd3 dns/nsd or # portupgrade -fo dns/nsd3 dns/nsd or # pkg set -o dns/nsd:dns/nsd3 20131112: AFFECTS: users of dns/bind9* AUTHOR: erwin@FreeBSD.org All bind9 ports have been updated to support FreeBSD 10.x after BIND was removed from the base system. It is now self-contained in ${PREFIX}/etc/namedb, and chroot and symlinking options are no longer supported out of the box. For users of FreeBSD 9.x and earlier, the LINKS option is no longer enabled by default, but still supported. No other changes should affect those users, and updating without changing already set options will keep the system in the same state. 20131103: AFFECTS: users of security/libtasn1 and any port that depends on it AUTHOR: novel@FreeBSD.org libtasn1 has been updated to 3.3 and all shared libraries versions have been bumped. So you need to rebuild all applications that depend on libtasn1. # portmaster -r libtasn1 or # portupgrade -fr security/libtasn1 or # pkg install -fR security/libtasn1 20131031: AFFECTS: users of multimedia/rtmpdump AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org The library part of multimedia/rtmpdump is split into multimedia/librtmp. multimedia/rtmpdump now depends on the library port. A build error can occur if you built and installed old rtmpdump by using stock OpenSSL, and then install security/openssl and try to build multimedia/rtmpdump without deinstalling the installed one. Please make sure if the old rtmpdump is removed before building the new version. 20131028: AFFECTS: users of comms/dcf77pi AUTHOR: rene@FreeBSD.org As of version 1.0.5 the configuration file was renamed from hardware.txt to config.txt and the format has been made more flexible. If you have customized any parameters, be sure to copy them to config.txt after which hardware.txt can be removed. 20131028: AFFECTS: users of multimedia/ffmpeg1 and multimedia/ffmpeg-devel AUTHOR: wg@FreeBSD.org The port ffmpeg was updated, ffmpeg1 and ffmpeg-devel were removed in favor of ffmpeg. # portmaster -o multimedia/ffmpeg multimedia/ffmpeg1 or # portupgrade -fo multimedia/ffmpeg multimedia/ffmpeg1 or # pkg set -o multimedia/ffmpeg1:multimedia/ffmpeg and # portmaster -o multimedia/ffmpeg multimedia/ffmpeg-devel or # portupgrade -fo multimedia/ffmpeg multimedia/ffmpeg-devel or # pkg set -o multimedia/ffmpeg-devel:multimedia/ffmpeg 20131023: AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.12 lang/perl5.14 AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org The default Perl has been switched to lang/perl5.16. These examples are for switching from lang/perl5.14, if you are running another version, replace lang/perl5.14 with the origin of the Perl you have installed. Pkgng users: # pkg set -o lang/perl5.14:lang/perl5.16 # pkg install -Rf lang/perl5.16 Portupgrade users: 0) Fix pkgdb.db (for safety): pkgdb -Ff 1) Reinstall new version of Perl (5.16): portupgrade -o lang/perl5.16 -f lang/perl5.14 2) Reinstall everything that depends on Perl: portupgrade -fr lang/perl5.16 Portmaster users: portmaster -o lang/perl5.16 lang/perl5.14 Conservative: portmaster p5- Comprehensive (but perhaps overkill): portmaster -r perl- Note: If the "perl-" glob matches more than one port you will need to specify the name of the Perl directory in /var/db/pkg explicitly. 20131020: AFFECTS: users of mail/squirrelmail AUTHOR: adamw@adamw.org The default location for user data files and attachments has changed. This will only affect new installations, and upgrading SquirrelMail WILL NOT break your current installation. To make use of the new locations, do the following: # cp -rp /var/spool/squirrelmail/pref/* /usr/local/www/squirrelmail/data # cp -rp /var/spool/squirrelmail/attach/* /usr/local/www/squirrelmail/attach and then run /usr/local/www/squirrelmail/configure and tell SM about it ("Data Directory" and "Attachment Directory" under "General Options"). This version of SquirrelMail is a SNAPSHOT that brings in PHP 5.4 and 5.5 compatibility. 20131020: AFFECTS: users of security/gpgme AUTHOR: jhale@FreeBSD.org The library version of security/gpgme has changed, and PORTREVISION has been bumped in all dependent ports. If you have external software that depends on gpgme, this software needs to be recompiled. To recompile all software dependent on gpgme, run: # portmaster -r gpgme or # portupgrade -rf gpgme 20131008: AFFECTS: all users AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org A new USES has been added: compiler.mk, this uses allows porters to select a compiler for a given port based on the features the port needs By default this will always try to find Clang > 3.3. If the user prefers using GCC then the following macro should be added to user's make.conf: FAVORITE_COMPILER=gcc 20131004: AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/nrpe2 AUTHOR: ohauer@FreeBSD.org The port nrpe2 was updated and moved to nrpe # portmaster -o net-mgmt/nrpe net-mgmt/nrpe2 or # portupgrade -fo net-mgmt/nrpe net-mgmt/nrpe2 or # pkg set -o net-mgmt/nrpe2:net-mgmt/nrpe 20131003: AFFECTS: users of lang/python* and ports AUTHOR: mva@FreeBSD.org The default versions of lang/python* have been changed to support the new DEFAULT_VERSIONS variable. PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION, PYTHON2_DEFAULT_VERSION and PYTHON3_DEFAULT_VERSION are deprecated. If you have set them in your make.conf, you should change them something like DEFAULT_VERSIONS=python=2.7 python2=2.7 python3=3.3 20130929: AFFECTS: users of x11/pixman AUTHOR: zeising@FreeBSD.org The library version of x11/pixman has changed, and PORTREVISION has been bumped in all dependent ports. If you have external software that depends on pixman, this software needs to be recompiled. To recompile all software dependent on pixman, run: # portmaster -r pixman or # portupgrade -rf pixman 20130929: AFFECTS: users of graphics/libGL, graphics/dri and other MESA ports AUTHOR: zeising@FreeBSD.org The graphics/libGL, graphics/dri and related MESA ports have been updated to 9.1 when compiled with WITH_NEW_XORG= set. It is necessary to remove the old versions of both ports before updating. # pkg_delete -f libGL-\* dri-\* or # pkg delete -f libGL dri followed by # portmaster -a 20130925 AFFECTS: Users of print/qpdf AUTHOR: d.y.kazarov@mail.ru Due to the changes in libqpdf.so, please deinstall qpdf first if you are updating from 4.0.0 to 4.0.1+ 20130920: AFFECTS: Users of ptlib, opal and/or ekiga AUTHOR: kwm@FreeBSD.org The ptlib26, opal3 and ekiga3 ports where updated to the latest version and moved to the location of the old ports. If the ekiga (2.0) port is installed the same line as for ekiga3 can be used except without the 3 at the end. # portmaster -o devel/ptlib devel/ptlib26 # portmaster -o net/opal net/opal3 # portmaster -o net/ekiga3 net-im/ekiga or # portupgrade -fo devel/ptlib devel/ptlib26 # portupgrade -fo net/opal net/opal3 # portupgrade -fo net/ekiga3 net-im/ekiga or # pkg set -o devel/ptlib26 devel/ptlib # pkg set -o net/opal3 net/opal # pkg set -o net/ekiga3 net-im/ekiga 20130920: AFFECTS: Users of ports AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org New way to override the default version of a language in the ports tree. The make variable, DEFAULT_VERSIONS, allows users to override the default version defined by the ports tree. For example, to declare specific versions for Perl, Ruby and Tcl/Tk, it would be defined as: DEFAULT_VERSIONS= perl5=5.18 ruby=2.0 tcltk=8.6 Today, this only is supported by Perl, Ruby, and Tcl/Tk. 20130920: AFFECTS: Users of ports AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org Optional Stack Protector [1] support has been added with the WITH_SSP_PORTS knob. WITH_SSP_PORTS= yes This currently is only supported on FreeBSD 10 amd64/i386 and earlier releases on amd64. The default SSP_CLFAGS is -fstack-protector, but -fstack-protector-all may optionally be set instead. To enable support, add WITH_SSP_PORTS=yes to your make.conf and rebuild all ports. # portmaster -af or # portupgrade -af [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_overflow_protection 20130904: AFFECTS: 10-CURRENT users with any port depending on converters/libiconv AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org 10-CURRENT after r254273 (committed on August 13, 2013) has an implementation of iconv enabled by default in libc. NOTE: after r341775 (committed on January 29, 2014) and other following commits, a few ports, including devel/glib20, depend on the devel/libiconv again due to missing functionality in the base iconv implementation. Due to this change some major overhauling of the ports tree has been necessary to move the ports to using that implementation. People using pkgng binary packages should have little problems, "pkg upgrade" will update all software to not depend on libiconv anymore, once updated packages are available. Please make sure to perform a "pkg autoremove" after that and check that libiconv is correctly removed by it. If you are using ports the update requires some manual intervention. The following procedure should be followed: # pkg query %ro libiconv >ports_to_update # pkg delete -f libiconv # cat ports_to_update | xargs portmaster or: # pkg query %ro libiconv >ports_to_update # pkg delete -f libiconv # cat ports_to_update | xargs portupgrade -f 20130831: AFFECTS: users of graphics/gdal AUTHOR: sunpoet@FreeBSD.org Due to the changes in gdal.h, please deinstall gdal first while updating from 1.9.x to 1.10.x. 20130830: AFFECTS: users of mail/meta1 AUTHOR: dinoex@FreeBSD.org The on disk format has changed. Please make sure that queue is empty before you update. 20130817: AFFECTS: users of lang/python* AUTHOR: mva@FreeBSD.org The lang/python* ports do not install links to 2to3, idle, pydoc, python and other binaries anymore. Those were moved into the lang/python2 and lang/python3 ports respectively. This change brings us closer to the goal of making Python ports usable with different Python versions at the same time. If you have lang/python2* or lang/python3* installed, please also install the associated lang/python2 or lang/python3 port. 1. update lang/python2* and/or lang/python3* 2. install lang/python2 and/or lang/python3 3. install/update lang/python 20130816: AFFECTS: users of graphics/opendx and math/octave-forge-octcdf AUTHOR: stephen@FreeBSD.org These two ports have changed the science/netcdf dependency to science/netcdf4. It is recommended that the science/netcdf package be deinstalled before rebuilding these ports, otherwise you are likely to face port conflicts when building future ports. 20130806: AFFECTS: users of devel/eric4 AUTHOR: bsam@FreeBSD.org Since PKGVERSION=4.5.13_1 the default file destination has changed from ${PYTHON_SITELIBDIR}/eric4 to ${DATADIR}. 20130731: AFFECTS: users of glib20 AUTHOR: kwm@FreeBSD.org The devel/gio-fam-backend port was removed in the glib 2.36 update. Since the gio-fam-backend port was used in USE_GNOME=glib20, all dependencies need to be rebuilt. The removal of gio-fam-backend isn't critical, glib20 using programs should work just fine if the port is still installed. It is not clear however, if glib20 will use the new kqueue backend or the old fam backend. Note that users of pkg packages can just run the pkg delete command after their next update. # portmaster -r gio-fam-backend # pkg_delete gio-fam-backend-\* (for pkgng: pkg delete gio-fam-backend) # portmaster -a or # portupgrade -rf gio-fam-backend # pkg_delete gio-fam-backend-\* (for pkgng: pkg delete gio-fam-backend) # portupgrade -a 20130726: AFFECTS: users of Qt 3 and KDE 3 AUTHOR: rene@FreeBSD.org All ports based on Qt 3 (including KDE 3 but also ports which used Qt 3 as a graphical toolkit) expired on 20130701 because Qt 3 and KDE 3 were no longer maintained upstream. These ports have been removed today. Users of KDE 3 are advised to switch to another desktop environment provided in the Ports Collection, e.g. KDE 4 or Xfce. Users of Qt 3 are advised to upgrade to the Qt 4 counterpart(s). 20130725: AFFECTS: users of net/openafs AUTHOR: bjk@FreeBSD.org The OpenAFS 1.6.5 release is a security release which requires substantial configuration changes to the AFS servers in addition to the software update, in order to be fully protected. The entry for OPENAFS-SA-2013-003 on http://www.openafs.org/security/ has links to the upgrade documentation. The procedure involves rekeying the cell to a non-DES krb5 key, stored in a krb5 keytab named rxkad.keytab in PREFIX/etc/openafs/server/. 20130720: AFFECTS: users of japanese/mozc-server and japanese/mozc-el AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org The bin/mozc_emacs_helper program is now built and installed by japanese/mozc-server because the build processes are heavily overlapped with each other and the helper program does not depend on most of what mozc-server does actually. To upgrade them, please remove mozc-el first to prevent a conflict with the installed bin/mozc_emacs_helper. 20130719: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/bacula-server, sysutils/bacula-client, sysutils/bacula-bat AUTHOR: dvl@FreeBSD.org The configuration files for bacula have been moved to PREFIX/etc/bacula. Move your existing configuration files to this directory after upgrading. 20130718: AFFECTS: users of security/logcheck AUTHOR: glarkin@FreeBSD.org The logcheck port now provides a configuration option controlling installation of the crontab file. When installing the port interactively, the port option is enabled by default to mimic previous behavior. When the port is installed non-interactively (BATCH=yes) the crontab file *will not* be installed automatically. If the EXAMPLES port option is enabled, the crontab file can be installed manually at a later time from EXAMPLESDIR/crontab.in. 20130718: AFFECTS: users of www/zend-framework AUTHOR: wg@FreeBSD.org zend-framework has been updated to 2.2.1 and old 1.12.0 has been copied to www/zend-framework1. If you wish to stay with the older version run: # portmaster -o www/zend-framework1 www/zend-framework or # portupgrade -fo www/zend-framework1 www/zend-framework or # pkg set -o www/zend-framework:www/zend-framework1 20130714: AFFECTS: users of net/avahi-gtk AUTHOR: kwm@FreeBSD.org Avahi was updated to 0.6.31, due to changes in the avahi-gtk port it will be necessary to remove the avahi-gtk port before updating. Users of pkg packages can skip this step. # pkg_delete -f avahi-gtk\* or # pkg delete -f avahi-gtk followed by # portmaster net/avahi-gtk or # portupgrade net/avahi-gtk 20130711: AFFECTS: users of dns/py-ldns AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org The dns/py-ldns port now only installs the Python bits, and depends on dns/ldns. Because of that, you cannot just do a regular upgrade, it would install dns/ldns overwriting existing files and removing them when removing the old version of dns/py-ldns. # pkg_delete -f py-ldns-\* # cd /usr/ports/dns/py-ldns && make clean && make install clean or # pkg delete -fg py-ldns-\* # pkg install -f dns/py-ldns 20130707: AFFECTS: users of www/ajaxplorer AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org Ajaxplorer was updated to 5.0.1. This is a major update and some manual intervention may be needed. Before upgrading you should preserve the following files in WWWDIR (defaults to PREFIX/www/ajaxplorer) if you have customized them: conf/bootstrap_conf.php conf/bootstrap_context.php conf/bootstrap_plugins.php conf/bootstrap_repositories.php and put them back after the upgrade. If you are using a database backend you will need to manually update your database table using the sql script the port will install at WWWDIR/conf/conf/4.2.3-5.0.0-db-upgrade.sql Don't forget to check the documentation about upgrading from version 4.x at: http://ajaxplorer.info/ajaxplorer-5-0-0:/#Upgrade_from_4X_to_500 20130706: AFFECTS: users of devel/apr1 AUTHOR: ohauer@FreeBSD.org APR was updated to 1.4.8 and APR-util was updated to 1.5.2. Please rebuild all ports which are using functions from APR/APR-util such as Apache, Subversion, etc. # portmaster -r apr or # portupgrade -r devel/apr1 or # pkg install -fR devel/apr1 20130705: AFFECTS: users of x11/kdelibs4 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org The KDE Software Compilation 4.10.4 was committed a few days ago, and version 4.10.5 was committed today. They include better support for using clang as the compiler, but that requires recompiling all KDE ports which depend on x11/kdelibs4. Most ports which fall into this category are already part of the KDE Software Compilation and have been updated to version 4.10.5, but those released separately need to be rebuilt manually. If you are building your KDE ports with clang, doing the following is recommended: # portmaster -r kdelibs-4\* or # portupgrade -fr x11/kdelibs4 or # pkg install -fR x11/kdelibs4 Alternatively, to avoid rebuilding the ports which are part of the 4.10.5 update: # portmaster -x \*-4.10.5\* -r kdelibs-4\* or # portupgrade -x \*-4.10.5\* -fr x11/kdelibs4 20130703: AFFECTS: users of comms/trustedqsl and comms/tqsllib AUTHOR: db@FreeBSD.org Upstream have removed the need for a separate port for the library formerly found in comms/tqsllib. Please remove tqsllib before installing trustedqsl 20130627: AFFECTS: users of ports-mgmt/portmaster AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org Since June 22nd, portmaster no longer relies on 'WITH_PKGNG' to be defined, or ports to be checked out to enable pkgng support. It now considers whether or not pkg is installed and registered with itself. I.e., if this returns data, pkgng is considered in use: # pkg info pkg It's possible that you may have tested pkgng in the past, ran pkg2ng, and never fully committed to it by setting WITH_PKGNG. If this is the case, uninstall pkg with pkg_info/pkg_delete and also remove the stale database, rm /var/db/pkg/local.sqlite. This could manifest itself as portmaster -L showing the wrong versions, or portmaster no longer detecting installed packages correctly. Note that PORTS still require WITH_PKGNG=yes in make.conf if you are not running CURRENT. 20130627: AFFECTS: users of net/samba36 AUTHOR: timur@FreeBSD.org Samba has updated format of it's printing tdbs (ntprinting.tdb, ntforms.tdb, ntdrivers.tdb) to include character encoding. When updating from Samba 3.5 or earlier to Samba 3.6 or 4.0 these tdbs need to be migrated to new registry based printing management. This implies also character conversion. You have to specify the correct code page for the conversion, see iconv -l. The mostly used one is Windows Latin1 which is CP1252. You can correctly view the tdb with: # net printing dump encoding=CP1252 /path/to/ntprinters.tdb or migrate it with e.g.: # net printing migrate encoding=CP1252 /path/to/ntprinters.tdb If you migrate printers it is suggest to do it in the following order: ntforms.tdb ntdrivers.tdb ntprinting.tdb Don't forget to rename, move or delete these files in /var/db/samba after the migration. 20130623: AFFECTS: users of net-im/mikutter003 AUTHOR: tota@FreeBSD.org net-im/mikutter003 has been removed from the ports tree because the Twitter API version 1.0 was deprecated on 2013-05-07 and mikutter003, which uses the API 1.0, won't work. Please consider using net-im/mikutter instead of this. 1. deinstall mikutter003 2. upgrade Ruby to 1.9( or later) (see the entry 20130527) 3. install net-im/mikutter 20130623: AFFECTS: users of www/magento AUTHOR: melvyn@magemana.nl Magento has been updated to 1.7.0.2 on 2013-06-03. With it a stricter file system policy is enforced on the port. If you (or your customer) rely heavily on Magento Connect via the backend to install extensions, your quickfix is: # chown -R www: ${PREFIX}/www/magento # chmod -R u+w ${PREFIX}/www/magento The more conservative approach: # chown -R www: ${PREFIX}/www/magento/app/code/{local,community} \ ${PREFIX}/www/magento/app/{design,locale} \ ${PREFIX}/www/magento/{downloader,skin} # chmod -R u+w ${PREFIX}/www/magento/app/code/{local,community} \ ${PREFIX}/www/magento/app/{design,locale} \ ${PREFIX}/www/magento/{downloader,skin} The conservative approach will alert you to extensions that try to write in Magento core, while allowing clean extensions to install properly (corner cases may exist). 20130619: AFFECTS: users of devel/subversion AUTHOR: ohauer@FreeBSD.org devel/subversion has been upgraded from 1.7.10 to 1.8.0 If you want to upgrade, and use http/https access to repositories, please check, that the SERF option is enabled, as NEON support is gone. Also, mod_dontdothat and svnauthz_validate are now enabled with one option TOOLS, among other new tools and SVNMUCC is enabled always. subversion-1.7.x is available as devel/subversion17 To stay on subversion-1.7.x set in /etc/make.conf WITH_SUBVERSION_VER=17 and use the following command # pkg set -o devel/subversion:devel/subversion17 or # portmaster -o devel/subversion17 devel/subversion 20130614: AFFECTS: users who set port options in make.conf AUTHOR: tijl@FreeBSD.org Configuring options in make.conf using variables like OPTIONS_SET and OPTIONS_UNSET now also suppresses the option dialog for those options. This means that when building a port the option dialog will only appear if there are truly new options that have not been configured before using either the dialog or make.conf. This allows you to set options like DOCS, NLS, X11, etc. once for all ports and not have option dialogs pop up if those are the only options. For a list of variables you can set in make.conf to control options see Mk/bsd.options.mk. 20130612: AFFECTS: users of lang/perl* and any port that depends on it AUTHOR: az@FreeBSD.org lang/perl5.12 has been upgraded from version 5.12.4 to 5.12.5 lang/perl5.14 has been upgraded from version 5.14.2 to 5.14.4 lang/perl5.16 has been upgraded from version 5.16.2 to 5.16.3 The directory structure where Perl is installed has also been modified: "major.minor" is now used instead of "major.minor.patchlevel". The "perl-after-upgrade" script has been removed. Please rebuild all Perl ports and all ports that depend on it: # portmaster -r perl or # portupgrade -rf perl or # pkg install -fR perl 20130609: AFFECTS: users of audio/flac and any port that depends on it AUTHOR: naddy@FreeBSD.org FLAC has been updated to 1.3.0 and the shared library versions have been bumped. Please rebuild all ports that depend on it: # portmaster -r flac or # portupgrade -fr audio/flac or # pkg install -fR audio/flac 20130607: AFFECTS: Nobody AUTHOR: wxs@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD 8.4 released. 20130604: AFFECTS: users of lang/ghc and */hs-* AUTHOR: haskell@FreeBSD.org The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compiler has been updated to version 7.6.3 and Haskell Platform to 2013.2.0.0. Hence it is recommended to rebuild or reinstall all the dependent ports by one of the following commands: # portmaster -w -r ghc or # portupgrade -fr lang/ghc or # pkg install -fR lang/ghc Note that prefixes used for hs- ports (Cabal packages) have been changed to PREFIX/{lib,share,share/doc}/cabal/ghc-GHC_VERSION to enable more seamless upgrades in the future. 20130603: AFFECTS: users of dns/opendnssec AUTHOR: wg@FreeBSD.org Some database changes have been made between version 1.3 and 1.4, upgrading needs to be done manually by running the following scripts: For MySQL users: PREFIX/share/opendnssec/migrate_adapters_1.mysql For SQLite users: PREFIX/share/opendnssec/migrate_adapters_1.sqlite3 For the full migration explanation see: PREFIX/share/doc/opendnssec/MIGRATION opendnssec 1.3 version was preserved as dns/opendnssec13 port. 20130601: AFFECTS: users of textproc/ack AUTHOR: rakuco@FreeBSD.org ack has been updated to version 2.04. It is slightly incompatible with some options present in ack1. For more information, see http://beyondgrep.com/ack-2.0. 20130530: AFFECTS: users of irc/inspircd AUTHOR: swills@FreeBSD.org The irc/inspircd port has been updated to 2.0.12. Some of the config option names in the rc script have been changed. Check the script for more detail. 20130527: AFFECTS: users of lang/ruby18 AUTHOR: swills@FreeBSD.org The default ruby version has been updated from 1.8 to 1.9. First, stop any software that uses ruby. Then, you'll need to rebuild all ports that depend on ruby: If you use portmaster: # portmaster -o lang/ruby19 lang/ruby18 # portmaster -R -r ruby-1.9 If you use portupgrade: # portupgrade -f lang/ruby18 # portupgrade -f lang/ruby19 # if you have it installed # portupgrade -f ports-mgmt/portupgrade # portupgrade -x ruby-1.8.\* -fr lang/ruby18 After these steps are complete, you can pkg_delete ruby 1.8 if you no longer need it. If you use pkgng: # pkg set -o lang/ruby18:lang/ruby19 # pkg install -fR lang/ruby19 If you wish to keep the 1.8 version as default, add the following lines to your /etc/make.conf file: # # Keep ruby 1.8 as default version. # RUBY_DEFAULT_VER=1.8 20130525: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/rsyslog5* AUTHOR: brd@FreeBSD.org Rsyslog 5.x has reached end of life status and has therefore been removed. While sysutils/rsyslog6* exists, please consider migrating to sysutils/rsyslog7 as that is the currently supported release. 20130525: AFFECTS: users of mail/postgrey AUTHOR: Darren Pilgrim The RC script for postgrey has been modified. If you use the default value for postgrey_flags this does not affect you. If you have postgrey listening on a Unix socket or set any optional values, please read the comments in the RC scripts and check your settings in rc.conf prior to restarting postgrey. 20130525: AFFECTS: users of x11/xorg and all xorg ports AUTHOR: zeising@FreeBSD.org X.Org, including libraries and some drivers, was updated. If you are running the default X.Org distribution, no special upgrade procedure should be necessary. If you are running with WITH_NEW_XORG= make sure to update and rebuild all installed drivers since xorg-server has been updated. 20130520: AFFECTS: users of textproc/elasticsearch AUTHOR: tj@FreeBSD.org This is the first stable release based on Lucene 4. We recommend testing the upgrade before doing it in production. Upgrading from 0.20 requires a full cluster restart. In order to be able to downgrade, stop indexing new data, issue a flush request, do the upgrade and only enable indexing of new data once you are certain that you no longer need to downgrade. Once new data has been indexed, downgrading is no longer possible. To be extra safe, back up your data before upgrading. 20130519: AFFECTS: users of net/activemq AUTHOR: tj@FreeBSD.org The JVM used by activemq has changed to OpenJDK 7. You will need to make sure javavmwrapper is configured to use the installed java/openjdk7 JVM. 20130512: AFFECTS: users of devel/hs-git-annex AUTHOR: haskell@FreeBSD.org On FreeBSD, git-annex incorrectly calculated SHA256 hashes for files added to the annex repository due to the BSD-style output of /sbin/sha256. The result of this is silent data corruption. This problem has been fixed, but every file stored in an annex repository will fail a `git-annex fsck` after the upgrade. Thus, before updating, it is wise to issue the command below and restore the files. $ git-annex uninit Corruptions can then be found by finding all files with the same hash. Note that only files that were mishashed to the same location are a problem. 20130511: AFFECTS: users of TeX AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org One can now choose TeXLive or teTeX by using TEX_DEFAULT. Specifying TEX_DEFAULT=texlive, almost all of ports which use TeX will install and depend on TeXLive-based ones. Note that the default value is still "tetex" and the two cannot coexist. You need to remove all of the TeX-related packages based on teTeX to try TeXLive. 20130507: AFFECTS: users of comms/usbmuxd or comms/libimobiledevice AUTHOR: avilla@FreeBSD.org libusbmuxd and libimobiledevice versions have changed. Please, rebuild all the ports that depend on them: # portmaster -r usbmuxd or # portupgrade -fr comms/usbmuxd or # pkg install -fR comms/usbmuxd 20130507: AFFECTS: users of devel/libplist AUTHOR: avilla@FreeBSD.org libplist Python bindings were split from the main port. To get them you need to install devel/py-libplist. 20130506: AFFECTS: users of TeX AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org TeXLive ports have been imported. Although most of ports still depend on teTeX at this moment, they will be converted to use TeXLive. The directory layout of them is as follows. Please use print/texlive-full if you are not familiar with how each component works. Finer-grained ports will be added (specifically, meta ports for smaller installation and so on). Note that the full installation needs around 3GB of disk space. teTeX-based ports and TeXLive are mutually exclusive. This means TeXLive ports cannot be installed when teTeX is already installed. You need to remove all of the TeX-related packages based on teTeX to try TeXLive. Migration procedure will be announced when conversion of the port dependency is completed. * Meta port - print/texlive-full: meta port to install all of the TeXLive components * Libraries - devel/tex-kpathsea: kpathsea library - devel/tex-web2c: WEB2C toolchain and TeX engines - print/tex-ptexenc: character code conversion library for pTeX * Base part of the TeXLive - print/texlive-base: binary programs in TeXLive - print/texlive-texmf: macro and font data in TeXLive - print/texlive-infra: tlmgr dependency (Perl modules) - print/tex-formats: * TeX Formats - print/tex-formats: TeX, LaTeX, PDFTeX, AMSTeX, ConTeXT, CSLaTeX, EplainTeX, METAFONT, MLTeX, PDFTeX, TeXsis - print/tex-aleph: Aleph/Lambda - print/tex-xetex: XeTeX - print/tex-luatex: LuaTeX - print/tex-jadetex: JadeTeX - print/tex-xmltex: XMLTeX - japanese/tex-ptex: pTeX * DVI ware - print/tex-xdvik: XDvi 20130503: AFFECTS: users of security/libgcrypt and any port that depends on it AUTHOR: ehaupt@FreeBSD.org The libgcrypt port has been updated to 1.5.2 and all shared libraries versions have been bumped. So you need to rebuild all applications that depend on libgcrypt. Do something like: # portmaster -r libgcrypt or # portupgrade -rf libgcrypt Alternatively, you may install sysutils/bsdadminscripts, run pkg_libchk and rebuild all detected ports: # pkg_libchk | tee /tmp/rebuild # awk -F':' '/libgcrypt.so/ {print $1}' /tmp/rebuild | sort | uniq \ | xargs portmaster -D 20130502: AFFECTS: users of ports-mgmt/pkg, ports-mgmt/poudriere, ports-mgmt/tinderbox AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org This only affects people who are _building_ binary packages for pkgng. If you are building from ports please ignore this. This step is optional. It is recommended to rebuild all packages and then have your users run 'pkg check -Ba' and 'pkg upgrade' on their servers once. This will allow the new shlib tracking to reinstall packages that have changed shlib requirements. 20130427: AFFECTS: users of print/a2ps-{a4,letter}, print/c2ps-{a4,letter}, print/lprps-{a4,letter}, or graphics/jpeg2ps-{a4,letter} AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org The affected ports have been converted to use libpaper for the default paper size as print/psutils did. For more detail, see 20130424 below. 20130424: AFFECTS: users of print/psutils-a4 or print/psutils-letter AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org print/psutils-a4 and print/psutils-letter have been merged into a single port print/psutils. The default paper size in psnup(1), psresize(1), and pstops(1) is now selected via an environment variable and/or a configuration file of libpaper(3). For more detail, see papersize(5) and paperconfig(8) manual page. If you prefer A4 or letter size by default as the old version did, please install print/papersize-default-a4 or print/papersize-default-letter, which installs a papersize configuration file without manual configuration. 20130423: AFFECTS: users of mail/postfix AUTHOR: sahil@FreeBSD.org This is a significant update; so, please carefully review the RELEASE_NOTES to identify which incompatible changes impact your environment.
