15APIC_IO OPTION REMOVED
16----------------------
17
18The APIC_IO kernel option is no longer accepted after having been without
19effect for a while. The hw.ioapic_enable tunable now serves its purpose.
20If you have 'options APIC_IO' in your kernel config, you'll have to
21remove it.
22
23WATCHDOG_ENABLE OPTION REMOVED
24------------------------------
25
26The wdog framework is now compiled into our kernels by default, so the
27option is no longer needed.

33SEVERAL ISA DRIVERS REMOVED
34---------------------------
35
36The following ISA only drivers have been removed along with a couple of
37associated userland tools:
38
39aha(4)
40asc(4) & sasc(1)
41ctx
42dgb(4)
43el(4)
44gpib
45gsc(4) & sgsc(1)
46ie(4)
47labpc(4)
48le(4)
49mse(4)
50rc(4)
51rdp(4)
52spigot
53tw(4) & xten(1) & xtend(8)
54wl(4) & wlconfig(8)
55wt(4)
56
57Note that two of these drivers (aha(4) and ie(4)) are in our GENERIC
58config and one (aha(4)) is in our X86_64_GENERIC kernel configuration
59file.
60
61If buildkernel complains about any of these drivers, just remove them
62from your kernel configuration.
63
64BINUTILS 2.20
65-------------
66Binutils 2.20 has been removed in favor of Binutils 2.22. The accepted
67values of BINUTILSVERS are now binutils221 and binutils222 (default).
68
69BUILDWORLD/-KERNEL PARALLELIZATION WORK
70---------------------------------------
71Due to changes in the way we build with more than one make job, you
72will have to update install(1) and mkdir(1) prior to buildworld if you
73want to build with 'make -j':
74
75cd /usr/src/usr.bin/xinstall; make; make install; make clean
76cd /usr/src/bin/mkdir; make; make install; make clean
77
78DMA(8) UPGRADE
79--------------
80dma(8) has been upgraded to v0.7 which no longer supports the
81/etc/dma/virtusertable. Some of its functionality has been replaced
82with the MASQUERADE keyword and the EMAIL environment variable (see
83the dma(8) manual page).

87+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
88
89GCC 4.4 & BINUTILS 2.21
90-----------------------
91
92GCC 4.4 has been made DragonFly's default compiler and Binutils 2.21 has
93been made DragonFly's default Binutils.
94
95That means that any settings that set CCVER to 'gcc44' are not needed
96anymore. Instead, CCVER can be set to 'gcc41' to go back to using
97GCC 4.1.
98
99It also means that 'binutils221' as a value for BINUTILSVER has no
100effect anymore. 2.17 has been removed and 'binutils220' is available
101as an option.
102
103The NO_GCC44 option has been removed and will not affect the build
104anymore. There is now a NO_GCC41 option that will prevent GCC 4.1 from
105building in a similar fashion.
106
107Note that you must do a full buildworld/buildkernel for upgrading.
108
109pkg_radd settings
110-----------------
111
112The config file for pkg_radd has moved from /etc/settings.conf to
113/etc/pkg_radd.conf. Save the contents of settings.conf before upgrading
114if this is needed. This warning only applies if /etc/settings.conf
115exists. pkg_radd will continue to work with defaults.

121
122OpenSSL
123--------
124
125OpenSSL has been upgraded, and SHLIB_MAJOR was bumped for libssh and libcrypto.
126This shouldn't break any 3rd-party software, but you'll need to recompile your
1273rd-party software if you want it to link against the new version of OpenSSL.
128
129Loader
130-------
131
132A new loader (dloader) has been added which better handles booting from
133multiple kernel/module versions.
134
135To upgrade (Only for this upgrade, for post 2.8 upgrades see GENERAL below)
136
137 cd /usr/src
138 make buildworld
139 make installworld
140 make upgrade
141 make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
142 make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
143
144Note that you must installworld and run the 'upgrade' target before
145installing the new kernel.
146
147BIND
148-----
149
150BIND has been removed from the base system. The ldns and drill tools have
151been added for basic functionality. Use 'drill' where you would normally
152use nslookup or dig, or install BIND from pkgsrc. It's available as
153net/bind95, net/bind96, or net/bind97 as of this writing.
154
155This only affects older systems upgrading to 2.8. New 2.8+ installs
156include BIND as a pkgsrc package.

159+ UPGRADING DRAGONFLY ON AN EXISTING DRAGONFLY SYSTEM +
160+ GENERAL +
161+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
162
163Instructions on how to obtain and maintain DragonFly source code using git
164are in the development(7) manual page.
165
166To upgrade a DragonFly system from sources you run the following sequence:
167
168 cd /usr/src
169 make buildworld
170 make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
171 make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
172 make installworld
173
174You will also want to run the 'upgrade' target to upgrade your /etc and the
175rest of your system. The upgrade target is aware of stale files created by
176older DragonFly installations and should delete them automatically.
177
178 make upgrade
179
180See the build(7) manual page for further information.
181
182Once you've done a full build of the world and kernel you can do incremental
183upgrades of either by using the 'quickworld' and 'quickkernel' targets
184instead of 'buildworld' and 'buildkernel'. If you have any problems with
185the quick targets, try updating your repo first, and then a full buildworld
186and buildkernel as shown above, before asking for help.
187
188+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
189+ UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 2.0 TO DRAGONFLY >= 2.1 +
190+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
191
192In 2.1 kernel and modules has moved to boot directory. For most cases
193this is handled automatically by 'make upgrade'. A few cases needs manual
194intervention:
195
196 * When installing a kernel without first doing a make buildworld,
197 installworld and upgrade to the same DESTDIR as kernel:
198 make DESTDIR/boot directory and move kernel and modules into this boot
199 directory; also move kernel.old and modules.old.
200 Typical example is vkernel(7), use (no modules used):
201
202 cd /var/vkernel
203 mkdir boot
204 chflags noschg kernel
205 mv kernel kernel.old boot
206 chflags schg boot/kernel
207
208 * When using a boot-only partition, /boot/loader.rc needs to be edited:
209 delete occurrences of '/boot/'.
210 These occurences can normally be deleted in any case, see loader(8).
211
212+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
213+ UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 1.8 TO DRAGONFLY >= 1.9 +
214+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
215
216In 1.9 major changes to the disk management infrastructure have taken
217place. make upgrade may not catch all of your disk devices in /dev,
218so after upgrading be sure to cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV <blah> where <blah>
219are all of your disk devices. HOWEVER, from late 2.3 on we run devfs
220and MAKEDEV no longer exists.
221
222The biggest changes in 1.9 are:
223
224(1) That whole-slice devices such as da0s1 no longer share the same device
225 id as partition c devices such as da0s1c.
226
227(2) The whole-disk device (e.g. da0) is full raw access to the disk,
228 with no snooping or reserved sectors. Consequently you cannot run
229 disklabel on this device. Instead you must run disklabel on a
230 whole-slice device.
231
232(3) The 'compatibility' partitions now use slice 0 in the device name,
233 so instead of da0a you must specify da0s0a. Also, as per (1) above,
234 accessing the disklabel for the compatibility partitions must be
235 done via slice 0 (da0s0).
236
237(4) Many device drivers that used to fake up labels, such as CD, ACD, VN,
238 and CCD now run through the disk management layer and are assigned
239 real disk management devices. VN and CCD in particular do not usually
240 use a MBR and disklabels must be accessed through the compatibility
241 slice 0. Your /etc/ccd.conf file still specifies 'ccd0', though, you
242 don't name it 'ccd0s0' in the config file.
243
244Generally speaking, you have to get used to running fdisk and disklabel on
245the correctly specified device names. A lot of the wiggle, such as running
246disklabel on a partition, has been removed.
247

250+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
251
252> Kerberos IV
253-------------
254
255Kerberos IV (eBones) was removed from the tree, please consider moving to
256Kerberos 5 (Heimdal).
257
258> Package Management System
259---------------------------
260
261Starting with the 1.4 release, DragonFly uses NetBSD's pkgsrc package
262management system. The necessary tools to build and maintain packages
263are provided in /usr/pkg/bin and /usr/pkg/sbin. Make sure that these
264directories are in your PATH variable.
265
266In order to obtain a reasonably current snapshot of the pkgsrc tree, use
267the tarball from NetBSD:
268
269 fetch -o /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc.tar.gz
270 cd /usr; tar -xzf /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz; chown -R root:wheel pkgsrc
271
272This tree can then be kept up to date with cvs update:
273
274 cd /usr/pkgsrc; cvs up
275
276NOTE! If you upgraded from a pre-1.4 system to 1.4 or later, you need to
277build and install the pkgsrc bootstrap manually:
278
279 cd /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap
280 ./bootstrap --pkgdbdir /var/db/pkg --prefix /usr/pkg

286+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
287
288The compatibility shims for the build environment have been removed, you
289have to update to DragonFly 1.2 release branch first.
290
291The default PAM configuration has moved from /etc/pam.conf to /etc/pam.d/.
292The existing configuration can be converted using /etc/pam.d/convert.sh.
293Entries in /etc/pam.d/ override entries in /etc/pam.conf. In addition
294the pam_skey.so module was retired, you have to remove it manually from
295your configuration, when you convert it.
296
297> Required user and group IDs when upgrading from either FreeBSD or DragonFly
298---------------------
299
300The following users may be missing from your password file. Use vipw and
301add any that are missing:
302
303smmsp:*:25:25::0:0:Sendmail Submission User:/var/spool/clientmqueue:/sbin/nologin
304_pflogd:*:64:64::0:0:pflogd privsep user:/var/empty:/sbin/nologin
305
306The following groups may be missing from your group file. Use vi /etc/group
307and add any that are missing:
308
309smmsp:*:25:
310authpf:*:63:
311_pflogd:*:64:
312
313
314> Upgrading to DragonFly from FreeBSD
315---------------------
316
317You can build the DragonFly world and DragonFly kernels on a FreeBSD-4.x or
318FreeBSD-5.x machine and then install DragonFly over FreeBSD, replacing
319FreeBSD. Note that the DragonFly buildworld target does not try to reuse
320make depend information, it starts from scratch, so no pre-cleaning of the
321object hierarchy is necessary.
322
323 # get the CVS repository (it is placed in /home/dcvs, 500MB).
324 # Please use the -h option and a mirror site to pull the
325 # initial repository, but feel free to use the main repository
326 # machine to pull updates.
327 cvsup /usr/share/examples/cvsup/DragonFly-cvs-supfile
328 # install the source from the CVS hierarchy (remove preexisting
329 # FreeBSD src first) (500MB)
330 cd /usr
331 rm -rf src
332 cvs -R -d /home/dcvs checkout -P src
333
334 # build it (500MB used in /usr/obj)
335 #
336 cd /usr/src
337 make buildworld
338 make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
339
340Once you have built DragonFly you have to install it over FreeBSD. Since
341DragonFly does not track changes made by FreeBSD to its include file
342hierarchy and include file pollution can cause all sorts of unexpected
343compilation issues to come up, it is best to wipe your include hierarchy
344prior to installing DragonFly. Note that you should not wipe any installed
345FreeBSD header files or binaries until after you have successfully completed
346the build steps above.
347
348 rm -rf /usr/include
349 mkdir /usr/include
350 make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
351 make installworld
352
353Then you need to upgrade your system. DragonFly's 'make upgrade' target
354will unconditionally upgrade the /etc files that sysops do not usually
355mess around with, such as the files in /etc/rc.d. It will also remove any
356obsolete files such as utilities and manpages that have been removed from
357the system since the version you're coming from. If you are unsure we
358recommend that you make a backup of at least your /etc before applying
359this step. Note that DragonFly's RC system is basically RCNG from
360FreeBSD-5, but there are some differences in the contents of the RC files.
361
362 make upgrade
363
364NOTE! Never do a 'make upgrade' before 'make installworld' has been run.
365Doing so might leave your system in an unusable state.
366
367Finally we recommend that you do an 'ls -lta BLAH' for /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin,
368/usr/bin, and /usr/lib, and remove any stale files that you find. Please
369report these files to the DragonFly developers so that they can be added to
370the 'upgrade' target.
371
