3Updating Information for DragonFly users.

5This file should warn you of any pitfalls which you might need to work around
6when trying to update your DragonFly system.

8If you discover any problem, please contact the bugs@lists.dragonflybsd.org
9mailing list with the details.

13> Compiling DragonFly
14---------------------
15
16Compiling DragonFly requires an ISO C90 or higher compliant compiler.
17Compilers which support this are, amongst others: The GNU C Compiler, The
18Intel C++ Compiler, and The TenDRA Compiler.
19
20> Include files
21---------------
22
23Due to the source tree reorganization header files have moved to different
24locations. The ufs/ufs directory, for example, now can be found at vfs/ufs.
25ufs/ffs can be found in vfs/ufs as well.
26
27Best thing to do would be to rm -rf /usr/include and from /usr/src do a 'make
28includes'. This should repopulate your entire tree.
29
30> Kerberos IV
31-------------
32
33Kerberos IV (eBones) was removed from the tree, please consider moving to
34Kerberos 5 (Heimdal).
35
36> FreeBSD and DragonFly ports
37-----------------------------
38
39DragonFly will eventually have its own package management system but at the
40moment 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.
42
43DragonFly has its own 'port overrides' hierarchy in /usr/dfports. You can
44check this out of the DragonFly cvs repository using:
45
46cd /usr
47cvs -R -d /cvs checkout dfports
48
49You may wish to use a consolidated distfiles directory, in which case you
50should make /usr/dfports/distfiles a softlink to your existing distfiles
51directory (typically /usr/ports/distfiles).
52
53Be 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
56build the port. Dragonfly should contain an override and you should see a
57warning message that the DragonFly override is being build instead when you
58build it from the FreeBSD ports.
