13+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+

15ISA SOUND CARD SUPPORT REMOVED
16------------------------------
17
18The following modules have been removed (all for ISA sound cards):
19snd_ad1816.ko, snd_ess.ko, snd_mss.ko, snd_sb8.ko, snd_sb16.ko, snd_sbc.ko
20
21GCC 4.7
22-------
23
24DragonFly has switched base compilers. GCC 4.7 is now the default
25compiler and GCC 4.4 is the alternative compiler. The "NO_GCC47" make
26variable ceases to work now.
27
28Users who wish to build only GCC 4.7 have to use NO_GCC44 in the
29/etc/make.conf to prohibit GCC 4.4 from building. However, using it is
30highly discouraged. There are a few packages in pkgsrc that do not build
31with GCC 4.7 and the new "DPorts" system uses GCC 4.4 by default. At
32this time, it is recommended to keep both compilers on the base system.
33
34SMP OPTION REMOVED
35------------------
36
37The SMP kernel option has been made a no-op. All kernels now feature SMP
38support. If you have 'options SMP' in your kernel config, you can as well
39remove it.
40
41DEVICE_POLLING OPTION REPLACED BY IFPOLL_ENABLE OPTION, KTR_POLLING REMOVED
42---------------------------------------------------------------------------
43
44The DEVICE_POLLING kernel option has been made a no-op and it has been
45replaced by IFPOLL_ENABLE. If you have 'options DEVICE_POLLING' in your
46kernel config, you need to change it to IFPOLL_ENABLE.
47
48Also, the KTR_POLLING kernel option has been removed, so it must be
49removed from kernel configs that have it.
50
51BUSLOGIC, CYCLADES AND STALLION ISA SUPPORT REMOVED
52---------------------------------------------------
53
54The bt(4) driver for Buslogic SCSI adapters has been made PCI only. ISA
55cards will no longer be detected.
56
57The same has been done for Stallion multiport serial controllers. stli(4)
58has been completely removed (along with the stlload(8) and stlstty(8)
59utilities) and stl(4) was changed to support only PCI cards. Similarly,
60ISA support was removed from cy(4) too. All these drivers are i386 only.
61
62COMPAT_OLDISA OPTION GONE
63-------------------------
64
65The i386 specific COMPAT_OLDISA kernel option has been removed, since
66nothing needs it anymore.
67
68+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
69+ UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.0 to later versions +
70+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
71
72APIC_IO OPTION REMOVED
73----------------------
74
75The APIC_IO kernel option is no longer accepted after having been without
76effect for a while. The hw.ioapic_enable tunable now serves its purpose.
77If you have 'options APIC_IO' in your kernel config, you'll have to
78remove it.
79
80WATCHDOG_ENABLE & HW_WDOG OPTIONS REMOVED
81-----------------------------------------
82
83The wdog framework is now compiled into our kernels by default, so the
84options are no longer needed.
85
86DOSCMD(1) REMOVED
87-----------------
88
89doscmd(1) has been removed. It was i386 only. The doscmd(1) specific
90NO_X make.conf option was removed too.
91
92GCC 4.7
93-------
94
95GCC 4.7 has been brought in and replaces GCC 4.1 as DragonFly's non-
96default compiler in base (default is still GCC 4.4).
97
98Users who wish to build only GCC 4.4 have to replace NO_GCC41 with
99NO_GCC47 in /etc/make.conf.
100
101USB4BSD
102-------
103
104A new USB stack (from FreeBSD) has been brought in. The following
105modules have been ported so far: usb, uhci, ohci, ehci, xhci, umass,
106usfs, uether, if_axe, if_udav, ukbd, ums, uep, uhid, usb_quirk,
107and uaudio.
108
109It is not yet the default. To activate it, WANT_USB4BSD=yes has to
110be put in make.conf and device "usb4bsd" (quotes needed) has to
111replace device usb in the kernel config. After that, a full
112build/install/upgrade cycle is needed.
113
114Note that this is experimental and incomplete, but we are interested
115in hearing about issues with it, of course.
116
117ISA SUPPORT REMOVED FROM AIC-6260/6360 DRIVER
118---------------------------------------------
119
120ISA adapter support was dropped from the aic(4) driver.
121
122+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
123+ UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.10 to later versions +
124+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
125
126SEVERAL ISA DRIVERS REMOVED
127---------------------------
128
129The following ISA only drivers have been removed along with a couple of
130associated userland tools:
131
132aha(4)
133asc(4) & sasc(1)
134ctx
135dgb(4)
136el(4)
137gpib
138gsc(4) & sgsc(1)
139ie(4)
140labpc(4)
141le(4)
142mse(4)
143rc(4)
144rdp(4)
145spigot
146tw(4) & xten(1) & xtend(8)
147wl(4) & wlconfig(8)
148wt(4)
149
150Note that two of these drivers (aha(4) and ie(4)) are in our GENERIC
151config and one (aha(4)) is in our X86_64_GENERIC kernel configuration
152file.
153
154If buildkernel complains about any of these drivers, just remove them
155from your kernel configuration.
156
157BINUTILS 2.20
158-------------
159Binutils 2.20 has been removed in favor of Binutils 2.22. The accepted
160values of BINUTILSVERS are now binutils221 and binutils222 (default).
161
162BUILDWORLD/-KERNEL PARALLELIZATION WORK
163---------------------------------------
164Due to changes in the way we build with more than one make job, you
165will have to update install(1) and mkdir(1) prior to buildworld if you
166want to build with 'make -j':
167
168cd /usr/src/usr.bin/xinstall; make; make install; make clean
169cd /usr/src/bin/mkdir; make; make install; make clean
170
171DMA(8) UPGRADE
172--------------
173dma(8) has been upgraded to v0.7 which no longer supports the
174/etc/dma/virtusertable. Some of its functionality has been replaced
175with the MASQUERADE keyword and the EMAIL environment variable (see
176the dma(8) manual page).
177
178+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
179+ UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.8 to later versions +
180+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
181
182GCC 4.4 & BINUTILS 2.21
183-----------------------
184
185GCC 4.4 has been made DragonFly's default compiler and Binutils 2.21 has
186been made DragonFly's default Binutils.
187
188That means that any settings that set CCVER to 'gcc44' are not needed
189anymore. Instead, CCVER can be set to 'gcc41' to go back to using
190GCC 4.1.
191
192It also means that 'binutils221' as a value for BINUTILSVER has no
193effect anymore. 2.17 has been removed and 'binutils220' is available
194as an option.
195
196The NO_GCC44 option has been removed and will not affect the build
197anymore. There is now a NO_GCC41 option that will prevent GCC 4.1 from
198building in a similar fashion.
199
200Note that you must do a full buildworld/buildkernel for upgrading.
201
202pkg_radd settings
203-----------------
204
205The config file for pkg_radd has moved from /etc/settings.conf to
206/etc/pkg_radd.conf. Save the contents of settings.conf before upgrading
207if this is needed. This warning only applies if /etc/settings.conf
208exists. pkg_radd will continue to work with defaults.

213+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
214
215OpenSSL
216--------
217
218OpenSSL has been upgraded, and SHLIB_MAJOR was bumped for libssh and libcrypto.
219This shouldn't break any 3rd-party software, but you'll need to recompile your
2203rd-party software if you want it to link against the new version of OpenSSL.
221
222Loader
223-------
224
225A new loader (dloader) has been added which better handles booting from
226multiple kernel/module versions.
227
228To upgrade (Only for this upgrade, for post 2.8 upgrades see GENERAL below)
229
230 cd /usr/src
231 make buildworld
232 make installworld
233 make upgrade
234 make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
235 make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
236
237Note that you must installworld and run the 'upgrade' target before
238installing the new kernel.
239
240BIND
241-----
242
243BIND has been removed from the base system. The ldns and drill tools have
244been added for basic functionality. Use 'drill' where you would normally
245use nslookup or dig, or install BIND from pkgsrc. It's available as
246net/bind95, net/bind96, or net/bind97 as of this writing.
247
248This only affects older systems upgrading to 2.8. New 2.8+ installs
249include BIND as a pkgsrc package.
250
251+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
252+ UPGRADING DRAGONFLY ON AN EXISTING DRAGONFLY SYSTEM +
253+ GENERAL +
254+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
255
256Instructions on how to obtain and maintain DragonFly source code using git
257are in the development(7) manual page.
258
259To upgrade a DragonFly system from sources you run the following sequence:
260
261 cd /usr/src
262 make buildworld
263 make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
264 make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
265 make installworld
266
267You will also want to run the 'upgrade' target to upgrade your /etc and the
268rest of your system. The upgrade target is aware of stale files created by
269older DragonFly installations and should delete them automatically.
270
271 make upgrade
272
273See the build(7) manual page for further information.
274
275Once you've done a full build of the world and kernel you can do incremental
276upgrades of either by using the 'quickworld' and 'quickkernel' targets
277instead of 'buildworld' and 'buildkernel'. If you have any problems with
278the quick targets, try updating your repo first, and then a full buildworld
279and buildkernel as shown above, before asking for help.
280
281+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
282+ UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 2.0 TO DRAGONFLY >= 2.1 +
283+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
284
285In 2.1 kernel and modules has moved to boot directory. For most cases
286this is handled automatically by 'make upgrade'. A few cases needs manual
287intervention:
288
289 * When installing a kernel without first doing a make buildworld,
290 installworld and upgrade to the same DESTDIR as kernel:
291 make DESTDIR/boot directory and move kernel and modules into this boot
292 directory; also move kernel.old and modules.old.
293 Typical example is vkernel(7), use (no modules used):
294
295 cd /var/vkernel
296 mkdir boot
297 chflags noschg kernel
298 mv kernel kernel.old boot
299 chflags schg boot/kernel
300
301 * When using a boot-only partition, /boot/loader.rc needs to be edited:
302 delete occurrences of '/boot/'.
303 These occurences can normally be deleted in any case, see loader(8).
304
305+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
306+ UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 1.8 TO DRAGONFLY >= 1.9 +
307+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
308
309In 1.9 major changes to the disk management infrastructure have taken
310place. make upgrade may not catch all of your disk devices in /dev,
311so after upgrading be sure to cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV <blah> where <blah>
312are all of your disk devices. HOWEVER, from late 2.3 on we run devfs
313and MAKEDEV no longer exists.
314
315The biggest changes in 1.9 are:
316
317(1) That whole-slice devices such as da0s1 no longer share the same device
318 id as partition c devices such as da0s1c.
319
320(2) The whole-disk device (e.g. da0) is full raw access to the disk,
321 with no snooping or reserved sectors. Consequently you cannot run
322 disklabel on this device. Instead you must run disklabel on a
323 whole-slice device.
324
325(3) The 'compatibility' partitions now use slice 0 in the device name,
326 so instead of da0a you must specify da0s0a. Also, as per (1) above,
327 accessing the disklabel for the compatibility partitions must be
328 done via slice 0 (da0s0).
329
330(4) Many device drivers that used to fake up labels, such as CD, ACD, VN,
331 and CCD now run through the disk management layer and are assigned
332 real disk management devices. VN and CCD in particular do not usually
333 use a MBR and disklabels must be accessed through the compatibility
334 slice 0. Your /etc/ccd.conf file still specifies 'ccd0', though, you
335 don't name it 'ccd0s0' in the config file.
336
337Generally speaking, you have to get used to running fdisk and disklabel on
338the correctly specified device names. A lot of the wiggle, such as running
339disklabel on a partition, has been removed.
340

343+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
344
345> Kerberos IV
346-------------
347
348Kerberos IV (eBones) was removed from the tree, please consider moving to
349Kerberos 5 (Heimdal).
350
351> Package Management System
352---------------------------
353
354Starting with the 1.4 release, DragonFly uses NetBSD's pkgsrc package
355management system. The necessary tools to build and maintain packages
356are provided in /usr/pkg/bin and /usr/pkg/sbin. Make sure that these
357directories are in your PATH variable.
358
359In order to obtain a reasonably current snapshot of the pkgsrc tree, use
360the tarball from NetBSD:
361
362 fetch -o /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc.tar.gz
363 cd /usr; tar -xzf /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz; chown -R root:wheel pkgsrc
364
365This tree can then be kept up to date with cvs update:
366
367 cd /usr/pkgsrc; cvs up
368
369NOTE! If you upgraded from a pre-1.4 system to 1.4 or later, you need to
370build and install the pkgsrc bootstrap manually:
371
372 cd /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap
373 ./bootstrap --pkgdbdir /var/db/pkg --prefix /usr/pkg

378+ DRAGONFLY 1.3+ (EITHER PREVIEW or HEAD) +
379+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
380
381The compatibility shims for the build environment have been removed, you
382have to update to DragonFly 1.2 release branch first.
383
384The default PAM configuration has moved from /etc/pam.conf to /etc/pam.d/.
385The existing configuration can be converted using /etc/pam.d/convert.sh.
386Entries in /etc/pam.d/ override entries in /etc/pam.conf. In addition
387the pam_skey.so module was retired, you have to remove it manually from
388your configuration, when you convert it.
389
390> Required user and group IDs when upgrading from either FreeBSD or DragonFly
391---------------------
392
393The following users may be missing from your password file. Use vipw and
394add any that are missing:
395
396smmsp:*:25:25::0:0:Sendmail Submission User:/var/spool/clientmqueue:/sbin/nologin
397_pflogd:*:64:64::0:0:pflogd privsep user:/var/empty:/sbin/nologin
398
399The following groups may be missing from your group file. Use vi /etc/group
400and add any that are missing:
401
402smmsp:*:25:
403authpf:*:63:
404_pflogd:*:64:
405
406
407> Upgrading to DragonFly from FreeBSD
408---------------------
409
410You can build the DragonFly world and DragonFly kernels on a FreeBSD-4.x or
411FreeBSD-5.x machine and then install DragonFly over FreeBSD, replacing
412FreeBSD. Note that the DragonFly buildworld target does not try to reuse
413make depend information, it starts from scratch, so no pre-cleaning of the
414object hierarchy is necessary.
415
416 # get the CVS repository (it is placed in /home/dcvs, 500MB).
417 # Please use the -h option and a mirror site to pull the
418 # initial repository, but feel free to use the main repository
419 # machine to pull updates.
420 cvsup /usr/share/examples/cvsup/DragonFly-cvs-supfile
421 # install the source from the CVS hierarchy (remove preexisting
422 # FreeBSD src first) (500MB)
423 cd /usr
424 rm -rf src
425 cvs -R -d /home/dcvs checkout -P src
426
427 # build it (500MB used in /usr/obj)
428 #
429 cd /usr/src
430 make buildworld
431 make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
432
433Once you have built DragonFly you have to install it over FreeBSD. Since
434DragonFly does not track changes made by FreeBSD to its include file
435hierarchy and include file pollution can cause all sorts of unexpected
436compilation issues to come up, it is best to wipe your include hierarchy
437prior to installing DragonFly. Note that you should not wipe any installed
438FreeBSD header files or binaries until after you have successfully completed
439the build steps above.
440
441 rm -rf /usr/include
442 mkdir /usr/include
443 make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
444 make installworld
445
446Then you need to upgrade your system. DragonFly's 'make upgrade' target
447will unconditionally upgrade the /etc files that sysops do not usually
448mess around with, such as the files in /etc/rc.d. It will also remove any
449obsolete files such as utilities and manpages that have been removed from
450the system since the version you're coming from. If you are unsure we
451recommend that you make a backup of at least your /etc before applying
452this step. Note that DragonFly's RC system is basically RCNG from
453FreeBSD-5, but there are some differences in the contents of the RC files.
454
455 make upgrade
456
457NOTE! Never do a 'make upgrade' before 'make installworld' has been run.
458Doing so might leave your system in an unusable state.
459
460Finally we recommend that you do an 'ls -lta BLAH' for /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin,
461/usr/bin, and /usr/lib, and remove any stale files that you find. Please
462report these files to the DragonFly developers so that they can be added to
463the 'upgrade' target.
464
