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. 20160914: AFFECTS: users of www/nginx-devel AUTHOR: osa@FreeBSD.org Nginx now creates logs under /var/log/nginx/ and changes default log names from "nginx-access.log" and "nginx-error.log" to "access.log" and "error.log" respectively. This is important for the error log because the location is encoded and touched by nginx during startup regardless of the configured location for the error log. See http://trac.nginx.org/nginx/ticket/147 for additional information on why this happens. 20160914: AFFECTS: users of deskutils/xfce4-volumed-pulse AUTHOR: olivierd@FreeBSD.org The port has been updated to the latest stable version 0.2.2. Support of xfce4-mixer has been removed, so you can delete its properties with the following command: xfconf-query -c xfce4-mixer -p / -rR 20160910: AFFECTS: users of security/letsencrypt.sh AUTHOR: riggs@FreeBSD.org The config filename has been changed upstream from "config.sh" to "config". Users must rename the current config file manually. In addition, the default WELLKNOWN location has been changed to %%PREFIX%%/www/letsencrypt. In order to use the previous default location, the config file must be updated manually as well. 20160907: AFFECTS: users of math/galculator AUTHOR: woodsb02@FreeBSD.org galculator now uses GTK3 by default. An option exists in the port to revert to GTK2 if desired. 20160906: AFFECTS: uses of www/nginx AUTHOR: marino@FreeBSD.org Nginx now creates logs under /var/log/nginx/ and changes default log names from "nginx-access.log" and "nginx-error.log" to "access.log" and "error.log" respectively. This is important for the error log because the location is encoded and touched by nginx during startup regardless of the configured location for the error log. See http://trac.nginx.org/nginx/ticket/147 for additional information on why this happens. 20160905: AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql96-server AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org The default unix user used by the PostgreSQL daemon has changed to `postgres' to reflect the long time upstream's convention. Any scripts you have using the old `pgsql' unix user should be modified when upgrading to PostgreSQL version 9.6. Older versions of PostgreSQL will continue using `pgsql' until their end-of-life. For users with UTF-8 locales in the database: The ICU patch is *activated by default* for the PostgreSQL-9.6 server. For previous versions it was optional and default off, but this has changed. Please read the entry here below from 20160811 and understand the consequences of changing between ICU and system locale for database collation (short version: don't). pg_upgrade requires the collation method to be the same (or a reindex), while pg_dump/restore does not. Also, the default home directory for the postgres user is now /var/db/postgres, and the default data directory for PostgreSQL 9.6 is /var/db/postgres/data96. 20160829: AFFECTS: users of x11/nvidia-driver AUTHOR: cem@FreeBSD.org The NVidia driver has been updated to version 367.35. Starting with version 358.09, new kernel module was added, nvidia-modeset.ko. This new driver component works in conjunction with the nvidia.ko kernel module to program the display engine of the GPU. Users that experience hangs when starting X11 server, or observe (II) NVIDIA(0): Validated MetaModes: (II) NVIDIA(0): "NULL" messages in their /var/log/Xorg.0.log file should replace ``nvidia'' with ``nvidia-modeset'' in /boot/loader.conf or /etc/rc.conf files, depending on how they prefer to load NVidia driver kernel module. 20160829: AFFECTS: users of security/sshguard AUTHOR: feld@FreeBSD.org Sshguard has been updated to 1.7.0. There have been several changes to this release. Notably the hosts and ipfilter backends are no longer supported. If you need these backends to be supported and you missed the survey sent out by upstream I urge you to contact upstream. The hosts backend was previously served by security/sshguard directly. The additional backends were slave ports with package name suffixes. I have opted to keep the master/slave port relationship but not choose a specific backend for security/sshguard. Instead it is now a metaport which will prompt you for which backend you prefer. If no backend is configured it will depend on security/sshguard-ipfw, which is the native FreeBSD firewall. This my be surprising to users who depended on security/sshguard which only provided hosts/TCP Wrappers blocking, but there is no replacement at this time. I would also like to document that sshguard no longer accepts the -e argument which allowed external scripts to run when sshguard finds a match. As a result the null backend can no longer be used to create custom blocking functionality; it only serves as a detection backend. If the removed backends return due to user demand they will be added as slave ports for consistency. I apologize for any inconvenience and lack of notice on the deprecation of these features. 20160815: AFFECTS: users of mail/rspamd* AUTHOR: vsevolod@FreeBSD.org Rspamd users should update Rspamd to 1.3.3 version as soon as possible and ensure that '/usr/local/etc/rspamd/module.d/fuzzy_check.conf` has the line `algorithm = "mumhash";` for the "rspamd.com" rule. The more detailed information could be found on https://rspamd.com/announce/2016/08/15/rspamd-1.3.3.html 20160815: AFFECTS: users of dns/powerdns* AUTHOR: junovitch@FreeBSD.org PowerDNS Authoritative Server and Recursor 4.0.0+ introduce significant changes to the configuration files, which need to be handled before restarting the services. As from the Recursor changelog, "The Lua hook infrastructure was redone using LuaWrapper; old scripts will no longer work, but new scripts are easier to write under the new interface." 20160811: AFFECTS: users of security/libressl AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org The port has been updated to the latest stable version 2.4 of LibreSSL. The shared library versions of the libraries have been bumped. With this update, the patch for the OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER has been removed. This causes issues with a number of ports. Patches for all ports for which this issues is known can be found on https://wiki.freebsd.org/LibreSSL/Ports#OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER After upgrading, manually update all packages that depend on any of the libraries provided by LibreSSL (libssl, libcrypto and libtls) since the versions of these libraries have changed. Normally, you can obtain the list of dependent software by running the following command: # pkg info -r libressl Then you should rebuild all ports depending on libressl to avoid dangling shared library dependencies. Poudriere and pkg handle this correctly, portmaster and portupgrade users can use the following to rebuild all dependent ports. Portmaster users: portmaster -r libressl Portupgrade users: portupgrade -fr security/libressl 20160811: AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresqlNN-server with ICU patch AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org The ICU patch is added to the PostgreSQL-9.5 server. Please note that you must never change between using the ICU patch and using system locale for the same database cluster without REINDEXing all TEXT/VARCHAR columns, or dump and restore your database. Failing to do so will result in corrupted indexes due to the differences between the locale definitions. ICU will always be the better choice for speed and correctness. Also, the ICU patch used to support other Unicode encodings than UTF-8, but that has been removed due to lack of demand and the complicated testing required. If you use another Unicode encoding and rely on ICU for collation, please refrain from upgrading the postgresql server and instead contact the author named above. 20160722: AFFECTS: users of emulators/virtualbox-ose AUTHOR: jkim@FreeBSD.org VirtualBox has been updated to 5.0.26 and it is incompatible with old kernel modules. You should upgrade emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod and load new kernel modules before starting new version, e.g., # service vboxnet restart 20160722: AFFECTS: users of games/stonesoup-* AUTHOR: lifanov@mail.lifanov.com The WIZARD option has been renamed to NOWIZARD and is now an opt-out to better reflect the upstream. If you run a shared game server and would like the Wizard mode support disabled, please update port options. 20160718: AFFECTS: users of www/awstats AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org The directory containing icons has changed from ".../icons" to ".../icon". awstats has, in its suggested configuration file, contained an alias from /awstatsicons. After applying the awstats-7.5 update, you must update that alias to point to /usr/local/www/awstats/icon (just remove the "s" at the end). 20160708: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/screen AUTHOR: cy@FreeBSD.org GNU Screen was updated to version 4.4.0 (r417201). Note that there was fix to screen message structure field responsible for $TERM handling, making it impossible to attach to older versions. 20160704: AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql57-* AUTHOR: riggs@FreeBSD.org The default location for my.cnf has changed from "/var/db/mysql/my.cnf" to "/usr/local/etc/mysql/my.cnf". Existing my.cnf files must be merged manually with the new default and moved to the new location. To continue using the my.cnf file at the old location, set "mysql_optfile" in /etc/rc.conf to point to the location of the existing my.cnf file. 20160701: AFFECTS: users of www/node5 AUTHOR: bradleythughes@fastmail.fm Node.js v5.x has reached end of life and has been removed. Users that have not yet moved to v6.x should do so now by switching to the www/node port. 20160627: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/rsyslog7 AUTHOR: brd@FreeBSD.org Rsyslog 7.x has reached end of life status and is being marked as depreciated. Rsyslog 8 has been made the default. 20160626: AFFECTS: users of www/calendarserver AUTHOR: pi@FreeBSD.org Please note that updating from the previous version (5.1) to the current version (8.0) requires manual steps. Please consult the pkg-message for details. 20160624: AFFECTS: users of shells/zsh AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org zsh now looks for system-wide conf files in ${PREFIX}/etc, instead of /etc. If you have files like zshrc, zshenv, zprofile, zlogin, or zlogout in /etc, either move them to /usr/local/etc or rebuild zsh with the ETCDIR option on. Note that this change only affects system-wide conf files, which are not installed or created by a default installation. 20160621: AFFECTS: users of www/redmine AUTHOR: tz@FreeBSD.org Redmine was updated from 2.6.9 to 3.2.3. Since this an update over major versions be careful with your update. For further update instructions please have a look at: https://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineUpgrade 20160621: AFFECTS: users of ftp/wget AUTHOR: vd@FreeBSD.org Wget 1.18 fixes a security vulnerability (CVE-2016-4971) and the fix introduces a backward-incompatibility for HTTP->FTP redirects. Any script that relies on the old behaviour must use --trust-server-names in order to trust the HTTP response and redirect to the new filename. 20160619: AFFECTS: users of databases/py-apsw AUTHOR: rm@FreeBSD.org SQLite 3.12 completely changed the semantics of VFS.xGetLastError() in an incompatible way. This required a rewrite of the relevant C, Python and test code. If you implement or use this method then you have to rewrite your code too. Also note that running the test suite from an earlier version of APSW against this or future SQLite versions will result in consuming all memory, swap or address space (an underlying integer changed meaning). 20160616: AFFECTS: users of security/openssl*, security/libressl* AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org Previously, to tell the ports tree, you needed to set: WITH_OPENSSL_PORT=yes And if you wanted a port that was not security/openssl, you needed to add, for example: OPENSSL_PORT= security/libressl Now, all you need to do is: DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= ssl=libressl Valid values are base, openssl, openssl-devel, libressl, and libressl-devel. 20160614: AFFECTS: users of www/node, www/node5, and www/node4 AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org node now prefers a few libraries from ports to the versions bundled with node. However, node cannot use the libssl from LibreSSL. If you are using LibreSSL as your SSL provider, you must enable the "BUNDLED_SSL" option when building node. 20160611: AFFECTS: users of textproc/xmlroff AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org The library part of xmlroff has been separated into textproc/libfo. Remove the installed xmlroff first when upgrading it because older xmlroff than 0.6.2_6 have files which libfo installs. A typical error message is the following: pkg-static: libfo-0.6.2 conflicts with xmlroff-0.6.2_5 (installs files into the same place). Problematic file: /usr/local/include/libfo-0.6/libfo/area/fo-area.h 20160610: AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql-repmgr AUTHOR: bofh@FreeBSD.org The port has been repocopied to databases/postgresql-repmgr2 and current post has been updated to 3.x series. If anyone is still looking forward to use the 2.x please upgrade as following. # portmaster -o databases/postgresql-repmgr2 databases/postgresql-repmgr or # portupgrade -o databases/postgresql-repmgr2 databases/postgresql-repmgr Otherwise if you want to move on with 3.x series just use # portmaster -r databases/postgresql-repmgr or # portupgrade -fr databases/postgresql-repmgr 20160605: AFFECTS: users of www/h2o AUTHOR: junovitch@FreeBSD.org File paths no longer have a trailing / appended to them. This enables directing specific paths to a file but may break existing configurations. Refer to https://h2o.examp1e.net/configure/file_directives.html and revise your yaml config appropriately. 20160601: AFFECTS: users of security/libressl-devel AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org The port has been updated to the latest "unstable" version of LibreSSL. The shared library versions of the libraries have been bumped. With this update, the patch for the OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER has been removed. This causes issues with a number of ports. Patches for many of these issues can be found on https://wiki.freebsd.org/LibreSSL/Ports#OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER After upgrading to 2.4.0, manually update all packages that depend on any of the libraries provided by LibreSSL (libssl, libcrypto and libtls) since the versions of these libraries have changed. Normally, you can obtain the list of dependent software by running the following command: # pkg info -r libressl-devel Then you should rebuild all ports depending on libressl-devel to avoid dangling shared library dependencies. Poudriere and pkg handle this correctly, portmaster and portupgrade users can use the following to rebuild all dependent ports. Portmaster users: portmaster -r libressl-devel Portupgrade users: portupgrade -fr security/libressl-devel 20160527: AFFECTS: users of mail/opensmtpd-extras (any of them) AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org The invocation for extras has changed. Some extras might fail unless you pass all options/arguments separated by quotes: filter myfilter dnsbl "-c /var/chroot/dnsbl" "-h my.dnsbl.com" Additionally, extras now run in a chroot. Either pass "-C" to skip the chroot entirely (not recommended), or put all required config files, resolv.conf, and external binaries into the chroot. For example: # mkdir -p /var/chroot/dnsbl/etc # cp /etc/resolv.conf /var/chroot/dnsbl/etc And pass "-c /var/chroot/dnsbl" to the filter. 20160526: AFFECTS: users of mail/opensmtpd AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org Due to changes to the rc-script you must stop smtpd prior to upgrading mail/opensmtpd to version 5.9.2 # service smtpd stop Then upgrade OpenSMTPD to version 5.9.2. Additionally version 5.9.2 changes the file mode bits for two directories. To allow existing installations to start successfully you must apply the following changes # chown -R root:_smtpq /var/spool/smtpd/offline # chmod -R 770 /var/spool/smtpd/offline # chmod -R 700 /var/spool/smtpd/purge After applying the changes, the smtpd daemon can successfully be started. 20160525: AFFECTS: users of devel/qtcreator AUTHOR: nolden@kde.org QBS (Qt Build System) was previously shipped as part of qtcreator, now it is independently available as devel/qbs. However, on upgrading qtcreator to 3.6.1, the depends will detect qbs through a previously installed qtcreator port and will not build/install correctly (devel/qbs won't be installed automatically as depends) The solution is to pkg remove qtcreator, then building works correctly. 20160523: AFFECTS: users of databases/db6 AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org The databases/db6 port has been updated to release 6.2.23. This requires manual action in two places: 1. dependent applications need to be recompiled, 2. SQL databases, if any, need to be reindexed. To obtain a list of ports needing a recompilation, the following command should provide it: # pkg info -r db6 Then rebuild db6 and the dependent ports. For pkg users, this should be transparent. Portmaster users: # portmaster -r databases/db6 Portupgrade users: # portupgrade -fr databases/db6 In order to reindex SQL databases, a db6-upgrade61.sh script is provided in ${PREFIX}/bin, if and only if the port's SQL option is enabled. For detailed reindexing instructions, see http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17076_05/html/installation/sqlite_ver61.html and note that the FreeBSD port installs the upgrade61.sh script with a db6- prefix that you need to add. 20160511: AFFECTS: users of audio/clementine-player AUTHOR: sbruno@FreeBSD.org The audio/clementine-player port has been updated to v1.3.1, the latest upstream release. The music database code now has a hard dependency on databases/sqlite having the FTS3_TOKENIZER option enabled. This has been made the default option in databases/sqlite. Without this option, clementine-player will crash on startup. 20160510: AFFECTS: users of biology/seqan AUTHOR: junovitch@FreeBSD.org The biology/seqan port has been split into biology/seqan (only the library) and biology/seqan-apps for the programs based on SeqAn. Both ports are based on version 2.1.1 of the SeqAn repository. There is a new biology/seqan1 port with version 1.3 of SeqAn for backwards compatibility, but this port will likely be deprecated in the next year so please update your software to SeqAn2. 20160505: AFFECTS: users of www/node AUTHOR: bradleythughes@fastmail.fm The www/node port has been updated to node.js v6.0.0, the latest upstream release. Users of node.js v5.x are encouraged to upgrade as soon as possible, as upstream support will end two months from now. The www/node5 port has been created to aid users transition. Use one of the following commands to continue using node.js v5.x: # pkg install node5 or # portmaster -o www/node5 www/node or # portupgrade -o www/node5 www/node 20160503: AFFECTS: users of security/libressl AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org LibreSSL 2.3 has removed SSLv3 support completely which leads to issues with a number of ports. Patches for many of these issues can be found on https://wiki.freebsd.org/OpenSSL/No-SSLv3 After upgrading to 2.3.4, manually update all packages that depend on any of the libraries provided by LibreSSL (libssl, libcrypto and libtls) since the versions of these libraries have changed. Normally, you can obtain the list of dependent software by running the following command: # pkg info -r libressl Then you should rebuild all ports depending on libressl to avoid dangling shared library dependencies. Poudriere and pkg handle this correctly, portmaster and portupgrade users can use the following to rebuild all dependent ports. Portmaster users: portmaster -r libressl Portupgrade users: portupgrade -fr security/libressl 20160501: AFFECTS: users of mail/dspam AUTHOR: junovitch@FreeBSD.org dspam has been modified to no longer run as root:mail by default. Existing configuration must be adjusted to reflect using a non-privileged port and the /var/run/dspam directory for PID and socket files. If you need dspam to run as root for your mail setup, you can use the SETUID config option to enable the old insecure behavior. 20160229: AFFECTS: users of www/nginx and www/nginx-devel AUTHOR: osa@FreeBSD.org The ${MODULESDIR}, default directory for dynamic modules, has been changed from ${ETCDIR}/modules to ${PREFIX}/libexec/${PORTNAME}. It's highly recommended to review existing configuration files of nginx, i.e. ${PREFIX}/etc/nginx/nginx.conf. 20160424: AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/icinga2 AUTHOR: lme@FreeBSD.org The creation of Icinga2 directories and files in /var is now controlled by the /etc/rc.conf variable icinga2_mkvar. Earlier ports always created the /var entries, but could slow startup significantly when /var was a normal disk rather than a RAM disk. icinga2_mkvar defaults to "NO". 20160415: AFFECTS: users of audio/chromaprint AUTHOR: jhale@FreeBSD.org chromaprint has been updated to version 1.3.1 and includes a shared library bump. PORTREVISIONS have been bumped on affected ports. If you are using binary pkg, 'pkg upgrade' will do the right thing. Users of portmaster/portupgrade must rebuild all ports which depend on chromaprint. Portmaster users: portmaster -w -r chromaprint Portupgrade users: portupgrade -fr audio/chromaprint 20160414: AFFECTS: users of www/tt-rss AUTHOR: thierry@FreeBSD.org Tiny Tiny RSS can use a database running on a separate server. Previously, in this case, you had to set the option DBLOCAL; this option has been removed and replaced by a settable run-time flag: now you should set ttrssd_local_db="NO" in your /etc/rc.conf . 20160414: AFFECTS: users of graphics/kipi-plugin-googledrive and graphics/kipi-plugin-picasaweb AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org DigiKam and its related ports have been updated to 4.14.0, the latest stable upstream release. The graphics/kipi-plugin-googledrive and graphics/kipi-plugin-picasaweb have both been merged into the new graphics/kipi-plugin-googleservices following a move done upstream. Those two ports must be removed, and graphics/kipi-plugin-googleservices should be used instead. 20160413: AFFECTS: users of www/node-devel AUTHOR: bradleythughes@fastmail.fm www/node-devel was outdated and has been removed. Upstream no longer releases a development version. You can use the www/node port to get node.js 5.x by running one of the following commands: # pkg install node or # portmaster -o www/node www/node-devel or # portupgrade -o www/node www/node-devel 20160413: AFFECTS: multimedia/x264 AUTHOR: jbeich@FreeBSD.org LSMASH replaced GPAC by default. If you use BATCH=y in /etc/make.conf and hit below error make sure to re-run "make config". ====> You cannot select multiple options from the MP4 radio *** Error code 1 20160412: AFFECTS: users of net/samba42 and net/samba/43 AUTHOR: timur@FreeBSD.org Samba 4.2.x and 4.3.x ports have been updated to address BadLock(http://badlock.org) vulnerability, as well as few other discovered. Please note that Samba 4.1.x and older versions are also affected by the issues fixed with this release but are not supported anymore. It is strongly recommend to upgrade to a recent version at your earliest convenience. The security updates include new smb.conf options and a number of stricter behaviours to prevent Man in the Middle attacks. Between these changes, compatibility with a large number of older software versions has been lost in the default configuration. For more information about the related behaviour changes and the security issues please visit: https://www.samba.org/samba/latest_news.html#4.4.2 https://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-4.3.8.html https://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-4.2.11.html 20160411: AFFECTS: users of databases/influxdb AUTHOR: cheffo@freebsd-bg.org To upgrade to InfluxDB 0.12, you must be on version 0.10 and all shards must be in TSM format (the default storage engine starting with InfluxDB 0.10). See the 0.10 documentation [1] for how to convert b1 and bz1 shards to TSM. If any b1 or bz1 shards are present, InfluxDB 0.12 will not start. Next, you need to update your metastore *before updating to 0.12.* [2] [1] https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v0.10/administration/upgrading/#convert-b1-and-bz1-shards-to-tsm1 [2] https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v0.12/administration/upgrading/ 20160406: AFFECTS: users of www/pecl-http AUTHOR: bofh@FreeBSD.org www/pecl-http has been updated to the latest 3.x stable release, which supports php70+ and a new port www/pecl-http2 has been created for the 2.x branch. Should users want to continue to use version 2.x, replace www/pecl-http with www/pecl-http2 as follows: Using packages: # pkg delete pecl-http # pkg install pecl-http2 Using ports: # portupgrade -o www/pecl-http2 www/pecl-http OR # portmaster -o www/pecl-http2 www/pecl-http 20160404: AFFECTS: users of lang/ruby21 AUTHOR: swills@FreeBSD.org The default ruby version has been updated from 2.1 to 2.2. If you compile your own ports you may keep 2.1 as the default version by adding the following lines to your /etc/make.conf file: # # Keep ruby 2.1 as default version # DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=ruby=2.1 If you wish to update to the new default version, you need to first stop any software that uses ruby. Then, you will need to follow these steps, depending upon how you manage your system. If you use pkgng, simply upgrade: # pkg upgrade If you use portmaster, install new ruby, then rebuild all ports that depend on ruby: # portmaster -o lang/ruby22 lang/ruby21 # portmaster -R -r ruby-2.2 If you use portupgrade, install new ruby, then rebuild all ports that depend on ruby: # pkg delete -f ruby portupgrade # make -C /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portupgrade install clean # pkg set -o lang/ruby21:lang/ruby22 # portupgrade -x ruby-2.2.\* -fr lang/ruby22 20160404: AFFECTS: mail/spamassassin AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org Support for SSLv3 has been removed from SpamAssassin, because SSLv3 is a Bad Idea. No direct option is provided to re-enable it. If your setup requires use of SSLv3, some instructions are available in FreeBSD PR 208225. 20160331: AFFECTS: security/clamav-unofficial-sigs AUTHOR: lukasz@wasikowski.net, sf@maxempire.com This version of clamav-unofficial-sigs is eXtremeSHOK's fork. Configuration file location has changed from %PREFIX%/clamav-unofficial-sigs.conf to %PREFIX%/clamav-unofficial-sigs/ master.conf and os.conf hold default values, local changes should be placed in user.conf. 20160324: AFFECTS: print/ghostscript9-base AUTHOR: tijl@FreeBSD.org The default Ghostscript port has changed from print/ghostscript9-base, which is no longer developed, to print/ghostscript9-agpl-base. Package users will upgrade automatically. Ports users can stick with the old port by adding "DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=ghostscript=9" to /etc/make.conf, or move to the new port with: portmaster -o print/ghostscript9-agpl-base ghostscript9-base or: portupgrade -o print/ghostscript9-agpl-base print/ghostscript9-base And if you have ghostscript9-x11 installed: portmaster -o print/ghostscript9-agpl-x11 ghostscript9-x11 or: portupgrade -o print/ghostscript9-agpl-x11 print/ghostscript9-x11 Note that print/ghostscript9-agpl-base is licensed under the AGPLv3 while print/ghostscript9-base is licensed under the GPLv3. 20160317: AFFECTS: security/openvas-client AUTHOR: tijl@FreeBSD.org The OpenVAS ports have been updated from version 2 to version 8. All components have been renamed and rearranged. The old OpenVAS client no longer exists. Instead there is a web interface provided by security/greenbone-security-assistant or a command-line interface provided by security/openvas-cli. 20160311: AFFECTS: print/hplip AUTHOR: tijl@FreeBSD.org HPLIP has been updated to verion 3.16.2. As part of the update support for the hpijs/foomatic-rip filter has been dropped. This has long been unsupported upstream. If you used this filter with your printer you'll have to remove the printer with HP Device Manager and then add it back as a new device. 20160311: AFFECTS: print/cups-base, print/cups-client, print/cups-image AUTHOR: tijl@FreeBSD.org The cups-base, cups-client and cups-image packages have been combined into one cups package. If you build your own ports the easiest way to update is to delete these packages first and then build and install print/cups. If you are using binary packages, depending on the packages installed on your system, pkg(8)'s solver might get confused. In this case do not proceed with the upgrade but delete first the packages: pkg delete -fg "cups*" Then usual upgrade process: pkg upgrade The device URI of USB printers has changed so you have to adjust the printer configuration. Go to http://localhost:631/printers/. Click on your printer and select "Modify Printer" in the Administration drop-down. You should then be able to select the new URI of the printer. The web interface requires cookies and JavaScript to function properly so make sure your browser does not block them.

To get them you need to install comms/py-gammu. 20151206: AFFECTS: users of mail/postfixadmin AUTHOR: riggs@FreeBSD.org Caveat when updating to version 2.93: If you have an existing configuration and are NOT using the recommended practice of putting your settings changes in config.local.php: Copy config.inc.php to config.local.php prior to upgrading, then revise config.local.php for the current version afterward. Postfixadmin will not function correctly unless correct and complete data structures are placed in config.inc.php. Therefore the file must be upgraded as part of the package and any changes to config.inc.php will be overwritten. Detailed information regarding this procedure is provided in step 3 of the installation instructions in ${DATADIR}/INSTALL.TXT (by default /usr/local/share/postfixadmin/INSTALL.TXT). 20151205: AFFECTS: users of devel/ncurses AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org ncurses has been updated to 6.0.

Since then, the default limits have been changed and the values suggested by the port are no longer sensible. If you have changed the following values in loader.conf(5) due to qt4-gui's or qt5-gui's pkg-message, please considering removing them and using the default settings: * kern.ipc.shmall * kern.ipc.shmmni * kern.ipc.shmseg See base r209037 and ports PR 202927 for more context. 20151203: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/logstash AUTHOR: junovitch@FreeBSD.org Logstash has been updated to the 2.1.0 release. The embedded ElasticSearch instance is no longer supported.

This is still experimental and there were reports that rolling upgrade from previous version of Samba fails to work. Please, backup all relevant files from /var/db/samba4/ directory, as well as configuration files. Follow https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Updating_Samba for the upgrade path. 20151130: AFFECTS: users of net/samba4, net/samba41, net/samba42 AUTHOR: timur@FreeBSD.org Recent versions of devel/talloc, devel/tevent, database/tdb, database/ldb contained infinit recursive call to the strtol* set of replacement functions, which lead to coredumps. Unofficial patch was added meanwhile, but now official version of the fixed libs were released. If your version of net/samba4 works fine you don't need to recompile it. Other ports were also upgraded and some bugs were fixed in upstream. 20151122: AFFECTS: users of audio/audacity AUTHOR: riggs@FreeBSD.org Audacity has been upgraded to version 2.1.1. Changes in its settings processing may prevent it from starting.

As part of the update an effort has been made to increase the security of the varnish daemons by utilizing separate UIDs. Users who upgrade will likely run into a permissions issue as a result. The simplest solution is to delete files varnish will recreate with the correct permissions and to adjust permissions of existing log files. The following changes will allow you to start varnishd, varnishlog, and varnishncsa successfully: # rm -r /usr/local/varnish/$(hostname) # rm /var/run/varnishlog.pid # rm /var/run/varnishncsa.pid # chown varnishlog /var/log/varnish.log # chown varnishlog /var/log/varnishncsa.log Please also note that the syntax for binding to additional IPs has changed in 4.1.0. Multiple listening addresses are now specified by using multiple -a arguments. In rc.conf it would look like this: varnishd_listen="x.x.x.x:80 -a y.y.y.y:80" 20151015: AFFECTS: users of devel/subversion, its bindings and www/mod_dav_svn AUTHOR: lev@FreeBSD.org The subversion upgdate to 1.9 branch introduces new "old" subversion port devel/subversion18.

The previous approach was to insert individual block rules with a predefined numbered range. This does not scale well and is not flexible so the design was scrapped. The new approach utilizes IPFW tables. The sshguard IPFW backend now inserts offenders into hardcoded table 22. To continue blocking the attackers effectively you will need to add a block rule like the following: ipfw add deny all from 'table(22)' to any The release announcement can be found here: http://sourceforge.net/p/sshguard/mailman/message/34534861/ 20151011: AFFECTS: users of emulators/qemu-sbruno, emulators/qemu-user-static AUTHOR: sbruno@FreeBSD.org The Jemalloc update at svn r286871 introduced some TLS enhancements for MIPS targets that require a bit of workaround.
