3 Updating Information for DragonFly users.
5 This file should warn you of any pitfalls which you might need to work around
6 when trying to update your DragonFly system.
8 If you discover any problem, please contact the bugs@lists.dragonflybsd.org
9 mailing list with the details.
11 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
16 Compiling DragonFly requires an ISO C90 or higher compliant compiler.
17 Compilers which support this are, amongst others: The GNU C Compiler, The
18 Intel C++ Compiler, and The TenDRA Compiler.
23 Due to the source tree reorganization header files have moved to different
24 locations. The ufs/ufs directory, for example, now can be found at vfs/ufs.
25 ufs/ffs can be found in vfs/ufs as well.
27 Best thing to do would be to rm -rf /usr/include and from /usr/src do a 'make
28 includes'. This should repopulate your entire tree.
33 Kerberos IV (eBones) was removed from the tree, please consider moving to
36 > FreeBSD and DragonFly ports
37 -----------------------------
39 DragonFly will eventually have its own package management system but at the
40 moment we leverage off of the FreeBSD ports system. You should maintain
41 /usr/ports from the FreeBSD cvs repository via cvsup just like you do now.
43 DragonFly has its own 'port overrides' hierarchy in /usr/dfports. You can
44 check this out of the DragonFly cvs repository using:
47 cvs -R -d /cvs checkout dfports
49 You may wish to use a consolidated distfiles directory, in which case you
50 should make /usr/dfports/distfiles a softlink to your existing distfiles
51 directory (typically /usr/ports/distfiles).
53 Be sure that you have installed 'relpath' from the DragonFly sources
54 (/usr/src/usr.bin/relpath) as well as the updated /usr/share/mk files from
55 /usr/src/share/mk. As a test you can cd into /usr/ports/sysutils/cpdup and
56 build the port. Dragonfly should contain an override and you should see a
57 warning message that the DragonFly override is being build instead when you
58 build it from the FreeBSD ports.
