1 This file documents some of the problems you may encounter when upgrading
2 your ports. We try our best to minimize these disruptions, but sometimes
5 You should get into the habit of checking this file for changes each time
6 you update your ports collection, before attempting any port upgrades.
9 AFFECTS: users of devel/p5-Log-Any and devel/p5-Log-Any-Adapter-Syslog
10 AUTHOR: eugen@FreeBSD.org
12 devel/p5-Log-Any-Adapter-Syslog functionality have been merged into
13 devel/p5-Log-Any and from now devel/p5-Log-Any must be used.
15 devel/p5-Log-Any-Adapter-Syslog will be marked as deprecated and removed.
18 AFFECTS: users of devel/apr1
19 AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org
21 APR was updated to 1.6.0 and APR-util was updated to 1.6.2
23 The Apache Portable Runtime project removed support for FreeTDS from the
24 APR Utilities in version 1.6. Users of FreeTDS will have to migrate
25 configurations to use the newly added ODBC support in conjunction with
26 FreeTDS using FreeTDS' ODBC capabilities.
28 Please rebuild all ports which are using functions from APR/APR-util
29 such as Apache, Subversion, etc. Normally, you can obtain the list of
30 dependent software by running the following command:
34 Then you should rebuild all ports depending on APR(-util) to avoid
35 dangling shared library dependencies. Poudriere and pkg handle this
36 correctly, portmaster and portupgrade users can use the following to
37 rebuild all dependent ports.

48 After update to 17.07, there is an issue[1] expected related to certificate
49 verification with TLS connections.

54 AFFECTS: users of www/node
55 AUTHOR: bhughes@freebsd.org
57 The www/node port has been updated to Node.js v8.1.2, the latest
58 upstream release. This is a major release, including many significant
59 changes. Users are encouraged to read the release announcements before
62 https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v8.0.0/
63 https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v8.1.0/
66 AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/zabbix24*
67 AUTHOR: dbaio@FreeBSD.org
69 Zabbix 2.4 has reached end of life and net-mgmt/zabbix24* ports have been
70 removed. Users that have not yet moved to a newer version, should use now
71 net-mgmt/zabbix3-* (LTS release) or net-mgmt/zabbix32-* (Standard release).
73 See more info about Zabbix releases here:
74 http://www.zabbix.com/life_cycle_and_release_policy
77 AFFECTS: users of mail/dcc-dccd
78 AUTHOR: ultima@FreeBSD.org
80 The ALT_HOME option was removed in 1.3.159_1. If this option is being
81 used, please be sure to move the old home directory, /var/dcc to
85 AFFECTS: users of net/rabbitmq
86 AUTHOR: olgeni@FreeBSD.org
88 The rabbitmq-3.6.10_1 port has been changed to use version 19 of
89 the Erlang runtime, because RabbitMQ is not yet compatible with
92 Upgrades to the previous rabbitmq-3.6.10 must be avoided as
93 they can lead to data corruption due to changes in Erlang 20.
96 AFFECTS: users of database/postgresql* and other software using PostgreSQL to run
97 AUTHOR: tz@FreeBSD.org
99 The default version of PostgreSQL has been switched from 9.3 to 9.5.
100 The upgrade procedure can use up twice the space the databases
101 currently needs. If you have a big amount of stored data take a
102 closer look at the manpage of pg_upgrade for avoidance and/or
103 speedup of the upgrade.
105 The upgrade instructions consider a basic usage and do not match
106 complex scenarious like replication, sharding or similar.
108 Upgrade instructions:
110 First stop your PostgreSQL, create PostgreSQL-binaries and backup your data.
111 If you have another Version of PostgreSQL installed, for example 9.3.12, your
112 files are named accourding to this.
114 # service postgresql stop
115 # pkg create postgresql93-server postgresql93-contrib
116 # mkdir /tmp/pg-upgrade
117 # tar xf postgresql93-server-9.3.17.txz -C /tmp/pg-upgrade
118 # tar xf postgresql93-contrib-9.3.17.txz -C /tmp/pg-upgrade
119 # mv /usr/local/pgsql/data /usr/local/pgsql/data93
120 # pkg delete -f databases/postgresql93-server databases/postgresql93-contrib databases/postgresql93-client
122 Now update PostgreSQL:
125 # pkg install databases/postgresql95-server databases/postgresql95-contrib
129 # portmaster databases/postgresql95-server databases/postgresql95-contrib
133 # portinstall databases/postgresql95-server databases/postgresql95-contrib
136 After installing the new PostgreSQL version you need to convert
137 all your databases to new version:
139 # service postgresql initdb
140 # su -l pgsql -c "pg_upgrade -b /tmp/pg-upgrade/usr/local/bin/ -d /usr/local/pgsql/data93/ -B /usr/local/bin/ -D /usr/local/pgsql/data/"
142 Now the migration is finished. You can start PostgreSQL again with:
144 # service postgresql start
147 AFFECTS: users of editors/calligra
148 AUTHOR: groot@kde.org
150 Calligra has been updated to 3.0.1, which is a KDE Frameworks 5 (KF5)
151 based application. Calligra now uses Qt5 and KF5. The translations have
152 been merged (upstream) into the application, so separate language /
153 translation ports are no longer provided. Krita has been split out
154 (upstream) into a separate application, which is packaged as
155 graphics/krita. Kexi, the visual database applications creator,
156 is packaged separately as databases/kexi.
158 Users of Calligra are encouraged to install Krita and Kexi separately,
159 and to report issues with the upgrade to kde@.
162 AFFECTS: users of net-im/ejabberd
163 AUTHOR: ashish@FreeBSD.org
165 After update to 17.04, there is an issue[1] expected with S2S connections,
166 which can be resolved by adding 'mod_s2s_dialback: {}' to 'modules' section
167 of configuration file.
169 [1] - https://github.com/processone/ejabberd/issues/1700
172 AFFECTS: users of www/kanboard
173 AUTHOR: joneum@FreeBSD.org
175 After update to 1.0.44, there are following breaking changes:
176 * Move calendar to external plugin: https://github.com/kanboard/plugin-calendar
177 * Move Gantt charts to external plugin: https://github.com/kanboard/plugin-gantt
178 * Move Gravatar to external plugin: https://github.com/kanboard/plugin-gravatar
181 AFFECTS: users of Qt 5 in presence of binutils
182 AUTHOR: amdmi3@FreeBSD.org
184 gold linker from binutils 2.28 may produce duplicate library
185 symbols, which makes shared libraries created with it not usable
186 with conventional ld linker.
188 This affects Qt, as qt5-qmake will detect gold and use it to build
189 Qt libraries. Broken libQt5Core will be produced and ports which
190 depend on it will then fail to link with the following errors:
192 ...lib/libQt5Core.so:(.dynamic+0x27ac8): multiple definition of `__bss_start at Qt_5'
193 ...lib/libQt5Core.so:(.dynamic+0x27ac8): first defined here
194 ...lib/libQt5Core.so:(.dynamic+0x27ac8): multiple definition of `_edata at Qt_5'
195 ...lib/libQt5Core.so:(.dynamic+0x27ac8): first defined here
196 ...lib/libQt5Core.so:(.dynamic+0x2b2d0): multiple definition of `_end at Qt_5'
198 Qt5 was fixed to ignore gold. If you see these errors, you
199 need to rebuild qt5-qmake, then all qt5-* ports.
202 AFFECTS: users of sysutils/dsbmd
203 AUTHOR: mk@freeshell.de
205 Due to new configuration variables and semantic changes, users of dsbmd
206 version 0.2 and earlier should consider recreating their dsbmd.conf from
207 the new dsbmd.conf.sample.
210 AFFECTS: users of www/yarn
211 AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
213 The default node backend for yarn has switched to www/node. Binary
214 package users should expect the node backend to be switched during
215 the upgrade. To keep the node6 (LTS) backend, rebuild www/yarn with
216 the NODE6 backend option enabled.
219 AFFECTS: users of security/pecl-ssh2
220 AUTHOR: dbaio@FreeBSD.org
222 The security/pecl-ssh2 has been upgraded to version 1.0, and the new
223 version is not compatible with PHP5. If you need PHP5 support, you can
224 find version 0.13 in security/pecl-ssh2-0.
227 AFFECTS: users of sysutils/ansible
228 AUTHOR: lifanov@FreeBSD.org
230 The default value for ansible_python_interpreter has been changed
231 to match the upstream /usr/bin/python. If managing FreeBSD systems,
232 adjust the hosts database to explicitly set a valid python interpreter:
238 ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/local/bin/python2.7
241 AFFECTS: users of security/libressl
242 AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org
244 The port has been updated to the latest stable version 2.5 of LibreSSL.
245 The shared library versions of the libraries have been bumped.
247 After upgrading, manually update all packages that depend on any of the
248 libraries provided by LibreSSL (libssl, libcrypto and libtls) since the
249 versions of these libraries have changed. Normally, you can obtain the
250 list of dependent software by running the following command:
252 # pkg info -r libressl
254 Then you should rebuild all ports depending on libressl to avoid dangling
255 shared library dependencies. Poudriere and pkg handle this correctly,
256 portmaster and portupgrade users can use the following to rebuild all
260 portmaster -r libressl
262 portupgrade -fr security/libressl
266 AUTHOR: gecko@FreeBSD.org
268 Firefox 53 or later may fail to build if sem(4) is present (see below)
269 because sysconf(3) still consults the old limits. If you don't plan to
270 run FreeBSD 8.x or older binaries make sure sem(4) isn't loaded during
271 boot or built statically into the kernel.

292 AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/awesome
293 AUTHOR: garga@FreeBSD.org
295 Awesome Window Manager (x11-wm/awesome) was upgraded to 4.1 and its config
296 is not backward compatible with 3.5. A new port was created to keep 3.5
297 version available at x11-wm/awesome3 and it will be available for 6 months
298 until users have time to upgrade configuration.
300 There are references about what has changed in 4.0 at:

311 # pkg set -n awesome:awesome3
312 # pkg set -o x11-wm/awesome:x11-wm/awesome3
315 AFFECTS: users of Xapian 1.2.x and www/ikiwiki
316 AUTHOR: sunpoet@FreeBSD.org
318 Xapian has been updated to 1.4.3. The 1.2.x series has been renamed with
319 suffix "12". The Perl binding for Xapian 1.4.x is databases/p5-Xapian.
320 Since www/ikiwiki depends on Search::Xapian, it stays with Xapian 1.2.
321 If you would like to keep using 1.2, please run the following commands
322 to update pkg database:
325 # pkg set -n xapian-core:xapian-core12
326 # pkg set -o databases/xapian-core:databases/xapian-core12
329 # pkg set -n p5-Search-Xapian:p5-Search-Xapian12

337 # pkg set -n xapian-omega:xapian-omega12
338 # pkg set -o databases/xapian-omega:databases/xapian-omega12
341 AFFECTS: net/samba44, net/samba45, net/samba46 and devel/p5-Parse-Pidl*
342 AUTHOR: timur@FreeBSD.org
344 It turned out that arbitary versions of p5-Parse-Pidl may lead to the
345 hard to explain crashes of the Samba server and utilities(in particular
346 we suspect it was responsible for the troubles with the DC provisioning).
348 So, from now on net/samba* ports use bundled version of Pidl. You need to
349 remove external package from the system:
351 pkg delete -f p5-Parse-Pidl p5-Parse-Pidl44
354 AFFECTS: users of security/openssh-portable
355 AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org
357 The format of several log messages emitted by the packet code has
358 changed to include additional information about the user and
359 their authentication state. Software that monitors ssh/sshd logs
360 may need to account for these changes. For example:
362 Connection closed by user x 1.1.1.1 port 1234 [preauth]
363 Connection closed by authenticating user x 10.1.1.1 port 1234 [preauth]
364 Connection closed by invalid user x 1.1.1.1 port 1234 [preauth]
366 Affected messages include connection closure, timeout, remote
367 disconnection, negotiation failure and some other fatal messages
368 generated by the packet code.
371 AFFECTS: users of samba43
372 AUTHOR: antoine@FreeBSD.org
374 The default version of samba has been switched from 4.3 to 4.4.
375 Upgrade instructions:
377 For package users having samba43 installed indirectly (as a dependency):
380 For package users having samba43 installed directly (leaf port):
382 # pkg install samba44
385 If you want to keep samba43, add DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= samba=4.3 to make.conf
387 If you want to upgrade to samba44, remove samba43 and obsolete packages:
388 # pkg delete -f samba36-libsmbclient samba36-nmblookup samba36-smbclient samba36 samba43 p5-Parse-Pidl
391 # portmaster net/samba44
395 # portinstall net/samba44
399 AFFECTS: net/samba46 and devel/p5-Parse-Pidl
400 AUTHOR: timur@FreeBSD.org
402 New version of Samba port from 4.6 branch is added. Before upgrading please read upgrade notes:
404 https://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-4.6.0.html
406 For the vfs_fruit users:
408 Users on *BSD must rename the metadata xattr used by vfs_fruit when
409 using the default setting "fruit:metadata = netatalk".
411 Due to a glitch in the Samba xattr API compatibility layer for FreeBSD and a
412 mistake in vfs_fruit, vfs_fruit ended up using the wrong xattr name when
413 configured with "fruit:metadata = netatalk" (default). Instead of the correct
415 org.netatalk.Metadata
421 Starting with Samba 4.6 vfs_fruit will use the correct "org.netatalk.Metadata"
422 which means existing installations must rename this xattrs. For this purpose
423 Samba now includes a new tool `mvxattr`.
426 AFFECTS: net/samba45, net/samba46 and devel/p5-Parse-Pidl
427 AUTHOR: timur@FreeBSD.org
429 While new Uses/samba.mk dosen't work well with slave ports to compile devel/p5-Parse-Pidl
430 for net/samba45 or net/samba46 you need explicitly set in the /etc/make.conf:
432 SAMBA4_PORT=net/samba46
434 explicitly. In the future that shouldn't be necessary.
437 AFFECTS: users of samba36-libsmbclient, samba36-nmblookup samba36-smbclient and samba36
438 AUTHOR: antoine@FreeBSD.org
440 The obsolete samba36-libsmbclient, samba36-nmblookup, samba36-smbclient and samba36 packages/ports were removed
441 and USES=samba was introduced.
442 Upgrade instructions:
444 For package users having those ports installed indirectly (as dependencies):
447 For package users having those ports installed directly (leaf ports):
449 # pkg install samba43
452 Choose you samba version, for instance add DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= samba=4.3 to make.conf
454 Remove obsolete packages:
455 # pkg delete -f samba36-libsmbclient samba36-nmblookup samba36-smbclient samba36
458 # portmaster net/samba43
462 # portinstall net/samba43
466 AFFECTS: users of mail/pecl-mailparse
467 AUTHOR: dbaio@bsd.com.br
469 The mail/pecl-mailparse has been upgraded to version 3.0.2, and the new
470 version is not compatible with PHP5. If you need PHP5 support, you can
471 find version 2.1.6 in mail/pecl-mailparse2.
474 AFFECTS: users of textproc/pecl-yaml
475 AUTHOR: dbaio@bsd.com.br
477 The pecl-yaml has been upgraded to version 2.0.0, and the new version is
478 not compatible with PHP5. If you need PHP5 support, you can find version
479 1.3.0 in textproc/pecl-yaml1.
482 AFFECTS: users of python setuptools
483 AUTHOR: antoine@FreeBSD.org
485 The python setuptools ports have been renamed to better match other python ports.
486 Ports users need to rename them so that portupgrade and portmaster do not
487 get confused. For example:
489 pkg set -n py27-setuptools27:py27-setuptools
490 pkg set -o devel/py-setuptools27:devel/py27-setuptools
492 pkg set -n py35-setuptools35:py35-setuptools
493 pkg set -o devel/py-setuptools35:devel/py35-setuptools
496 AFFECTS: users of textproc/ack
497 AUTHOR: sunpoet@FreeBSD.org
499 ack has been renamed back to p5-ack to match our perl naming. You could
500 run the following to update pkg database:
502 # pkg set -n ack:p5-ack
503 # pkg set -o textproc/ack:textproc/p5-ack
506 AFFECTS: users of games/tome4 with paid DLCs
507 AUTHOR: lifanov@FreeBSD.org
509 The Ashes of Urh'Rok and Embers of Rage DLCs have been updated to be
510 compatible with changes introduced in ToME 1.5.0. Users of these DLCs
511 will need to redownload nd place these in $HOME/.t-engine/4.0/addons.
514 AFFECTS: users of mail/thunderbird with Lightning
515 AUTHOR: cmt@FreeBSD.org
517 After changes in the packaging of the Lightning extension, profiles
518 using this extension have to be re-created.
521 AFFECTS: users of devel/mtbl
522 AUTHOR: truckman@FreeBSD.org
524 There is a libmtbl shared library version bump in mtbl version 1.0.0.
525 The affected dependent ports have had PORTREVISION bumps, but you will
526 need to rebuild any applications that link to libmtbl.
529 AFFECTS: sysutils/filebeat sysutils/metricbeat sysutils/packetbeat
530 AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org
532 The three elasticsearch beats ports have merged into one single port
533 systuils/beats that installs all of the above and some more. The reason is to
534 make the port more maintainable and also that the new heartbeat beat would
535 conflict with sysutils/heartbeat.
538 AFFECTS: devel/libevent2
539 AUTHOR: jbeich@FreeBSD.org
541 libevent2 has been renamed back to libevent as the default version.
542 If you manage out of tree ports make sure to run the following:
544 # pkg set -n libevent2:libevent
545 # pkg set -o devel/libevent2:devel/libevent
548 AFFECTS: users of Qt 4 and Qt 5
549 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
551 Following what is already done in Qt 5, the Qt 4 ports no longer install
552 their binaries into ${LOCALBASE}/bin (which is "/usr/local/bin" in most
553 cases). Additionally, the "-qt4" suffix has been dropped from the file names
554 of the binaries that had it, such as "qmake-qt4".
556 The new misc/qtchooser port is now used to choose whether a Qt 4 or Qt 5
557 version of a binary such as "moc", "qmake" or "designer" will be used. By
558 default, the Qt 5 versions are preferred, but that can be changed by setting
559 the QT_SELECT environment variable to "qt4".
561 qtchooser also allows one to seamlessly use other Qt installations for those
562 binaries, which is particularly beneficial to people working on Qt itself or
563 who need their own checkouts.
565 See qtchooser(1) for more information on how to configure qtchooser.
568 AFFECTS: users of www/node*
569 AUTHOR: bradleythughes@fastmail.fm
571 The BUNDLED_SSL option is now enabled by default on FreeBSD 10, since
572 Node.js requires OpenSSL 1.0.2, and FreeBSD 10 is shipped with 1.0.1.
575 AFFECTS: users of graphics/libGL, graphics/libEGL, graphics/libglesv2
576 AUTHOR: kwm@FreeBSD.org
578 The workaround for handling conflicting libraries between the
579 nvidia-driver, libGL, libEGL and libglesv2 ports was removed. If the
580 nvidia-driver port is updated before the other ports, it will remove
581 the libraries of said ports. This is a side effect of how the workaround
582 worked. If this happens reinstalling the affected port is enough.
584 pkg users can run: pkg install -f libGL libEGL libglesv2
587 AFFECTS: users of x11-server/xorg-server
588 AUTHOR: rezny@FreeBSD.org
590 Xorg server has been updated to 1.18.4 and autodetection has changed.
591 The order in which drivers are now attempted is:
592 1) vendor/model specific driver according to PCI IDs
593 2) generic modesetting driver which requires a drm driver with KMS
594 3) scfb, the generic framebuffer driver
595 4) vesa (only if arch is x86)
597 This should minimize the need for xorg.conf files. It is recommended to
598 load the correct KMS driver (i915kms.ko or radeonkms.ko) via rc.conf,
599 i.e. kld_list="i915kms.ko", to ensure correct functionality. Although
600 the vendor drivers may attempt to load the correct drm driver, which
601 does not always work, the modesetting driver assumes the required KMS
602 driver is already loaded and will fail if there is none. The modesetting
603 driver is now recommended as an alternative to the Intel driver; the
604 performance is comparable and stability is better with modesetting. The
605 ATI driver continues to offer better performance than modesetting.
608 AFFECTS: users of security/libressl-devel
609 AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org
611 The version 2.5.1 bumps the libcrypto, libssl and libtls shared library
612 versions. You will have to rebuild all packages that depend on
613 libressl-devel. Check the 20160811 libressl entry for more detailed
614 guidance on rebuilding.
617 AFFECTS: users of www/uwsgi
618 AUTHOR: feld@FreeBSD.org
620 The previous disruptive changes to uwsgi for security have been remediated
621 through creation of a dedicated uwsgi user/group and utilizing the
622 uwsgi feature to set socket ownership. The uwsgi daemon by default now
623 has the following properties:
625 * Process runs as uwsgi user and group (UID/GID 165)
626 * Socket mode is 660, still protecting unauthorized access from "other"
627 * Socket ownership is www:www, restoring compatibility
630 AFFECTS: users of devel/ice, devel/py-ice, devel/php5-ice
631 AUTHOR: grembo@FreeBSD.org
633 Since __WORDSIZE as defined by <stdint.h> always reports 32 when using
634 C++98/03 (unless __STDC_LIMIT_MACROS is set explictly), Ice 3.6.3 used
635 "long long" for Int64 instead of "long" on 64-bit platforms by mistake.
636 A workaround has been added in version 3.6.3_2 of these three ports,
637 requiring to upgrade all of them at the same time and to rebuild all
638 custom code that links against them.
641 AFFECTS: users of multimedia/motion
642 AUTHOR: jhale@FreeBSD.org
644 Version 3.x expected the configuration files to reside in:
646 Version 4.x expects the configuration files to reside in:
647 ${LOCALBASE}/etc/motion
648 This was unfortunately overlooked when the port was updated to 4.x, but it
649 has now been fixed to install the default configuration file in the new
650 location. The rc script now checks for motion.conf in the new location.
652 While you may be able to simply copy your old motion.conf to the new location,
653 it is recommended to review ${LOCALBASE}/etc/motion/motion.conf and make
654 changes to it based on your old ${LOCALBASE}/etc/motion.conf as some options
655 have been added and removed.
657 Further, if you use motion with multiple cameras and have
658 ${LOCALBASE}/etc/thread[0-9].conf files, they should be moved to
659 ${LOCALBASE}/etc/motion as well. These files are deprecated and should be
660 renamed to camera[0-9].conf and in motion.conf, lines like:
661 thread /usr/local/etc/thread1.conf
662 Should be converted to:
663 camera /usr/local/etc/motion/camera1.conf
666 AFFECTS: users of www/uwsgi
667 AUTHOR: feld@FreeBSD.org
669 The default socket mode for uwsgi as 777 is a severe security concern.
670 This has been remediated by changing the rc script to default to 600.
671 The mode is configurable with rc.conf values: uwsgi_socket_mode="600"
672 or for a profile named "www", uwsgi_www_socket_mode="600".

678 this version of tinc requires all nodes in the VPN to be linked with a
679 version of OpenSSL or LibreSSL that supports the AES256 and SHA256
684 AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql56-server
685 AUTHOR: feld@FreeBSD.org
687 databases/mysql56-server was updated to 5.6.35 which included backported
688 rc script changes from the mysql57-server port. This broke mysql_optfile in
689 rc.conf and also forced a sample my.cnf if none existed. MySQL has
690 some parameters which cannot be changed after a database has been
691 created, so this caused MySQL to fail to start.
693 This change was reverted in mysql56-server-5.6.35_1
695 An additional change was made in mysql56-server-5.6.35_2 to prevent
696 automatic loading of a sample my.cnf which was causing issues for
697 users who were running without a my.cnf.
700 AFFECTS: users of EoL'ed FreeBSD versions (<10.3, 11 prior to 11.0)
701 AUTHOR: amdmi3@FreeBSD.org
703 The ports system will now refuse to build anything if it's run on
704 outdated system version. This protects users from unexpected build
705 failures after code to support EoL'ed systems is removed from the
706 tree. You may define ALLOW_UNSUPPORTED_SYSTEM to override this and
707 allow builds, but no support will be provided in case of failures.

736 The default ruby version has been updated from 2.2 to 2.3.
738 If you compile your own ports you may keep 2.2 as the default version by
739 adding the following lines to your /etc/make.conf file:
742 # Keep ruby 2.2 as default version
744 DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=ruby=2.2
746 If you wish to update to the new default version, you need to first stop any
747 software that uses ruby. Then, you will need to follow these steps, depending
748 upon how you manage your system.

831 skalibs has undergone a major version bump and compatibility is not
832 guaranteed for software with a runtime dependency on
833 libskarnet.so.2.3.9.0. This will not affect lang/execline or
834 sysutils/s6 as those are statically linked against libskarnet.a.
836 execline has undergone a major version bump and compatibility is not
837 guaranteed for software with a runtime dependency on

850 AUTHOR: bradleythughes@fastmail.fm
852 The www/node port has been updated to node.js v7.2.0, the latest
853 upstream release. A new port, www/node6, has been created for the
854 v6.x LTS branch. Users wanting to stay on v6.x can replace www/node
855 with www/node6 with one of the following commands:

874 AUTHOR: jhale@FreeBSD.org
876 Gpgme has been updated to 1.8.0.
877 With it comes the removal of libgpgme-pthread.so in favor of using
878 libgpgme.so itself as the thread-safe library. Ports that may have
879 linked to -lgpgme-pthread will now just link to -lgpgme. PORTREVISION
880 has been bumped on all ports with a dependency on security/gpgme.

898 AFFECTS: Users of sysutils/bareos-*
899 AUTHOR: rand@iteris.com
901 Bareos v1.6.x changed the configuration scheme, from one configuration
902 file per Bareos component (file daemon, storage daemon, and director)
903 to several configuration files, in several directories, for each
904 component. See http://doc.bareos.org/master/html/bareos-manual-main-reference.html
906 The new scheme will use all files named *.conf in the directory
907 hierarchies for each component:
909 /usr/local/etc/bareos/bareos-dir.d/
910 /usr/local/etc/bareos/bareos-fd.d/
911 /usr/local/etc/bareos/bareos-sd.d/
913 To retain the old configuration scheme of one file per component add
914 appropriate lines such as these to your /etc/rc.conf:
916 bareos_dir_config="/usr/local/etc/bareos/bareos-dir.conf"
917 bareos_fd_config="/usr/local/etc/bareos/bareos-fd.conf"
918 bareos_sd_config="/usr/local/etc/bareos/bareos-sd.conf"
921 AFFECTS: users of devel/libosinfo
922 AUTHOR: novel@FreeBSD.org
924 The libosinfo port was separated into three different ports
925 to follow the upstream split:
927 - sysutils/osinfo-db-tools: contains the CLI tools
928 - misc/osinfo-db: contains database with OS data
929 - devel/libosinfo: the library
931 As osinfo-db-tools now ships binaries that previously were
932 part of libosinfo, it's required to delete the old libosinfo
933 package to prevent conflict because of same files installation:
935 # pkg delete libosinfo
937 And then install the new version.
940 AFFECTS: users of security/heimdal
941 AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
943 Heimdal in the base system and security/heimdal <= 1.5.3_6 use
944 Berkeley DB to store principals into /var/heimdal/heimdal.db and
945 the database format is version 3 by default. On the other hand,
946 security/heimdal 1.5.3_7 or newer use the newer version of
947 Berkeley DB and the database format is version 9.
948 These two versions are not compatible with each other. If there is
949 a mismatch between Heimdal utilities and its database format,
950 you will get an error like the following:
952 # /usr/local/sbin/kadmin -l dump
953 BDB0641 __db_meta_setup: /var/heimdal/heimdal.db: unexpected file type or format
954 kadmin: hdb_open: opening /var/heimdal/heimdal: Invalid argument
956 This mismatch can occur in the following three cases:
958 1. You used Heimdal in the base system and switch to use security/heimdal
959 after creating /var/db/heimdal.db.
961 2. You used security/heimdal >= 1.5.3_7 and switch to use one in the
964 3. You used security/heimdal < 1.5.3_7 and upgrade it to 1.5.3_7 or later.
966 To fix this mismatch, you need to dump contents of heimdal.db and
967 rebuild the database by using kadmin(8) utility.
969 If you use Heimdal in the base system or older versions of
970 security/heimdal, and plan to switch to use
971 security/heimdal >= 1.5.3_7, execute the following command
972 *after* creating a backup copy of /var/heimdal and installing
975 # /usr/bin/kadmin -l dump /var/heimdal/heimdal.db.dump
976 # rm /var/heimdal/heimdal.db
977 # /usr/local/sbin/kadmin -l load /var/heimdal/heimdal.db.dump
978 # rm /var/heimdal/heimdal.db.dump
980 The above example assumes security/heimdal is installed into
981 /usr/local. If your base system is compiled with WITHOUT_KERBEROS
982 use the following instead:
984 # db_dump185-5 /var/heimdal/heimdal.db | db_load-5 /var/heimdal/heimdal.db.new
985 # chown 0600 /var/heimdal/heimdal.db.new
986 # mv /var/heimdal/heimdal.db.new /var/heimdal/heimdal.db
988 db_dump and db_load utilitites are installed by database/db5 as
989 dependency of security/heimdal.
991 If you want to switch from security/heimdal to Heimdal in the base
992 system, use the following:
994 # /usr/local/sbin/kadmin -l dump /var/heimdal/heimdal.db.dump
995 # rm /var/heimdal/heimdal.db
996 # /usr/bin/kadmin -l load /var/heimdal/heimdal.db.dump

1298 "error.log" respectively. This is important for the error log because
1299 the location is encoded and touched by nginx during startup regardless
1300 of the configured location for the error log.
1302 See http://trac.nginx.org/nginx/ticket/147 for additional information
1303 on why this happens.
1306 AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql96-server
1307 AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org
1309 The default unix user used by the PostgreSQL daemon has changed to
1310 `postgres' to reflect the long time upstream's convention. Any scripts
1311 you have using the old `pgsql' unix user should be modified when upgrading to
1312 PostgreSQL version 9.6. Older versions of PostgreSQL will continue using
1313 `pgsql' until their end-of-life.
1315 For users with UTF-8 locales in the database: The ICU patch is *activated by
1316 default* for the PostgreSQL-9.6 server. For previous versions it was optional
1317 and default off, but this has changed. Please read the entry here below from
1318 20160811 and understand the consequences of changing between ICU and system
1319 locale for database collation (short version: don't). pg_upgrade requires the
1320 collation method to be the same (or a reindex), while pg_dump/restore does not.
1322 Also, the default home directory for the postgres user is now
1323 /var/db/postgres, and the default data directory for PostgreSQL 9.6 is
1324 /var/db/postgres/data96.
1327 AFFECTS: users of x11/nvidia-driver
1328 AUTHOR: cem@FreeBSD.org
1330 The NVidia driver has been updated to version 367.35. Starting with
1331 version 358.09, new kernel module was added, nvidia-modeset.ko. This
1332 new driver component works in conjunction with the nvidia.ko kernel
1333 module to program the display engine of the GPU.
1335 Users that experience hangs when starting X11 server, or observe
1337 (II) NVIDIA(0): Validated MetaModes:
1338 (II) NVIDIA(0): "NULL"
1340 messages in their /var/log/Xorg.0.log file should replace ``nvidia''
1341 with ``nvidia-modeset'' in /boot/loader.conf or /etc/rc.conf files,
1342 depending on how they prefer to load NVidia driver kernel module.
1345 AFFECTS: users of security/sshguard
1346 AUTHOR: feld@FreeBSD.org
1348 Sshguard has been updated to 1.7.0. There have been several changes to
1349 this release. Notably the hosts and ipfilter backends are no longer
1350 supported. If you need these backends to be supported and you missed
1351 the survey sent out by upstream I urge you to contact upstream.
1353 The hosts backend was previously served by security/sshguard directly.
1354 The additional backends were slave ports with package name suffixes. I
1355 have opted to keep the master/slave port relationship but not choose a
1356 specific backend for security/sshguard. Instead it is now a metaport
1357 which will prompt you for which backend you prefer. If no backend is
1358 configured it will depend on security/sshguard-ipfw, which is the
1359 native FreeBSD firewall. This my be surprising to users who depended
1360 on security/sshguard which only provided hosts/TCP Wrappers blocking,
1361 but there is no replacement at this time.
1363 I would also like to document that sshguard no longer accepts the -e
1364 argument which allowed external scripts to run when sshguard finds a
1365 match. As a result the null backend can no longer be used to create
1366 custom blocking functionality; it only serves as a detection backend.
1368 If the removed backends return due to user demand they will be added
1369 as slave ports for consistency. I apologize for any inconvenience and
1370 lack of notice on the deprecation of these features.
1373 AFFECTS: users of mail/rspamd*
1374 AUTHOR: vsevolod@FreeBSD.org
1376 Rspamd users should update Rspamd to 1.3.3 version as soon as possible
1377 and ensure that '/usr/local/etc/rspamd/module.d/fuzzy_check.conf` has
1378 the line `algorithm = "mumhash";` for the "rspamd.com" rule. The more
1379 detailed information could be found on
1380 https://rspamd.com/announce/2016/08/15/rspamd-1.3.3.html
1383 AFFECTS: users of dns/powerdns*
1384 AUTHOR: junovitch@FreeBSD.org
1386 PowerDNS Authoritative Server and Recursor 4.0.0+ introduce significant
1387 changes to the configuration files, which need to be handled before
1388 restarting the services. As from the Recursor changelog, "The Lua hook
1389 infrastructure was redone using LuaWrapper; old scripts will no longer
1390 work, but new scripts are easier to write under the new interface."
1393 AFFECTS: users of security/libressl
1394 AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org
1396 The port has been updated to the latest stable version 2.4 of LibreSSL.
1397 The shared library versions of the libraries have been bumped.
1398 With this update, the patch for the OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER has been
1399 removed. This causes issues with a number of ports. Patches for all
1400 ports for which this issues is known can be found on
1401 https://wiki.freebsd.org/LibreSSL/Ports#OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER
1403 After upgrading, manually update all packages that depend on any of the
1404 libraries provided by LibreSSL (libssl, libcrypto and libtls) since the
1405 versions of these libraries have changed. Normally, you can obtain the
1406 list of dependent software by running the following command:
1408 # pkg info -r libressl
1410 Then you should rebuild all ports depending on libressl to avoid dangling
1411 shared library dependencies. Poudriere and pkg handle this correctly,
1412 portmaster and portupgrade users can use the following to rebuild all
1416 portmaster -r libressl
1418 portupgrade -fr security/libressl
1421 AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresqlNN-server with ICU patch
1422 AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org
1424 The ICU patch is added to the PostgreSQL-9.5 server. Please note that you
1425 must never change between using the ICU patch and using system locale for
1426 the same database cluster without REINDEXing all TEXT/VARCHAR columns, or
1427 dump and restore your database. Failing to do so will result in corrupted
1428 indexes due to the differences between the locale definitions. ICU will
1429 always be the better choice for speed and correctness.
1431 Also, the ICU patch used to support other Unicode encodings than UTF-8,
1432 but that has been removed due to lack of demand and the complicated testing
1433 required. If you use another Unicode encoding and rely on ICU for collation,
1434 please refrain from upgrading the postgresql server and instead contact the
1438 AFFECTS: users of emulators/virtualbox-ose
1439 AUTHOR: jkim@FreeBSD.org
1441 VirtualBox has been updated to 5.0.26 and it is incompatible with old
1442 kernel modules. You should upgrade emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod and
1443 load new kernel modules before starting new version, e.g.,
1445 # service vboxnet restart
1448 AFFECTS: users of games/stonesoup-*
1449 AUTHOR: lifanov@mail.lifanov.com
1451 The WIZARD option has been renamed to NOWIZARD and is now an opt-out to
1452 better reflect the upstream. If you run a shared game server and would
1453 like the Wizard mode support disabled, please update port options.
1456 AFFECTS: users of www/awstats
1457 AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
1459 The directory containing icons has changed from ".../icons" to ".../icon".
1460 awstats has, in its suggested configuration file, contained an alias
1461 from /awstatsicons. After applying the awstats-7.5 update, you must
1462 update that alias to point to /usr/local/www/awstats/icon (just remove
1463 the "s" at the end).
