13+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
14
15EST DRIVER REMOVED, COMPILE_ET AND LIBCOM_ERR TOO
16-------------------------------------------------
17
18The est(4) driver has been removed. All CPUs it supported (except one)
19were 32 bits only. Those who are still using the Core 2 Duo T7500 should
20report back if there are any issues with this CPU and our regular ACPI
21P-state support.
22
23Also, compile_et(1) and com_err(3) have been removed as well. They
24should have been removed along with kerberos support, back in 2009.
25
26SEVERAL LOCALES RENAMED
27-----------------------
28
29Several locales were using obsolete and misleading names, and thus have
30been adjusted to current standards. Any users of the following locales
31need to select alternates:
32
33DFLY 4.2 locale            DFLY 4.4 alterative locale
34---------------            ------------------------------------
35mn_MN.UTF-8                mn_Cyrl_MN.UTF-8

54+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
55
56BINUTILS 2.25 REPLACES 2.22, PRIMARY
57------------------------------------
58
59The oldest of the two versions of Binutils, version 2.22, was removed
60and replaced with Binutils 2.25.  It becomes the primary version version
61of binutils and version 2.24 becomes the alternate.  There are 8 current
62CVE written against 2.24, so for security reasons version 2.25 should
63always be used.
64
65The accepted values of BINUTILSVER are now "binutils225" (default) and
66"binutils224".  The building of Binutils 2.24 can be prevented by setting
67NO_ALTBINUTILS=yes in make.conf.
68
69LOADER OPTIONS CHANGED
70----------------------
71
72Right after the development branch started, the Fred art accompanying the
73loader menu was improved.  The line between Fred and the menu was removed
74by default (but can optionally be returned) and the placement shifted as
75a result.  The drawing was improved, and the colored version was improved,
76changing the eyes and wing color from white to red.  A new color version
77of Fred was added, one with a blue scheme.
78
79The loader menu defaults have changed since release 4.0:  The vertical
80line was removed, the loader is displayed in color by default*, and the
81blue scheme is used.
82
83The loader.conf changes are:
84loader_color:   option has been removed
85loader_plain:   option has been added, it changed menu to monochrome
86fred_is_red:    changes color scheme from blue to red
87fred_is_blue:   option existed only on 4.1, it has been removed
88fred_separated: Adds line between Fred and menu (as seen previously)
89
90* If loader.conf defines "console" as "comconsole" or "console" is defined
91  in the environment as "comconsole" then color will not be displayed,
92  even if loader_plain value is "NO".
93
94SENDMAIL REMOVED FROM BASE
95--------------------------
96
97The only Mail Transfer Agent provided now is DragonFly Mail Agent (dma).
98If the system being upgraded is still configured to use the sendmail
99binaries from base, the "make upgrade" command will fail.
100
101The administrator must change /etc/mail/mailer.conf to switch the
102mailwrapper to dma or a DPorts-based MTA prior to running the upgrade
103command that permanently removes sendmail executables and could
104potentially break a running mail server.
105
106Refer: http://www.dragonflybsd.com/docs/docs/newhandbook/mta/ for
107detailed instructions on how to configure the MTA selection.
108
109_KPOSIX_VERSION and P1003_1B OPTIONS REMOVED
110--------------------------------------------
111
112The _KPOSIX_VERSION and P1003_1B kernel options have been changed to
113no-ops. They can be removed from custom kernel configurations.
114
115SOUND SYSTEM UPDATED FROM FreeBSD 11-CURRENT
116--------------------------------------------
117
118Many more sound devices may be detected.
119
120If the default device choosen isn't to your liking, setting the sysctl
121hw.snd.default_unit to a different number will change it.
122
123SCTP SUPPORT DROPPED
124--------------------
125
126Support for the SCTP protocol has been removed.
127
128OLD USB DRIVERS REMOVED
129-----------------------
130
131The old USB stack, along with the kernel config option "device oldusb"
132and the make.conf variable "WANT_OLDUSB" have been removed. This means
133that for custom kernel configuration files which were derived from a
134GENERIC or X86_64_GENERIC file prior to making the usb4bsd stack default,
135various (old USB stack specific) devices will now complain about being
136unknown:
137
138  * oldusb	(obviously)
139  * natausb	(not yet ported to usb4bsd)
140  * rue		(not yet ported to usb4bsd)
141  * ugen	(no longer needed in usb4bsd)
142  * urio	(not yet ported to usb4bsd)
143  * uscanner	(no longer needed in usb4bsd)
144
145They should be removed or commented out in such custom kernel configs.
146
147GCC 5
148-----
149
150The GCC 4.4 compiler has been retired.  It has been replaced by a GCC 5.1.
151The following make.conf variables no longer work: NO_GCC44, NO_OBJC, and
152NO_CXX.  The latter was never documented and the latest versions of GCC are
153partially written in C++ so a C++ compiler is no longer optional.  In
154practical terms it has not been optional for many years as other base
155components are also written in C++.  The resource savings by avoiding
156building Objective-C compiler is so small, the complexity added by NO_OBJC
157internally was deemed a bad tradeoff so that is the reason for its removal.
158Also note that no "info" pages are installed with GCC 5.  After this entry
159was originally written, all info pages were removed from DragonFly.
160
161GCC 5.1 has been designated as the primary compiler.  As such, there is a
162new make.conf variable, NO_ALTCOMPILER.  It will block the rebuilding of
163the designated secondary compiler, GCC 4.7.  However, while DPorts
164primarily uses GCC 5 to build ports now, it still uses GCC 4.7 as well, so
165if building ports from source is desired, don't block building of the
166secondary compiler.
167
168+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
169+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.8 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
170+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
171
172SMP AND DEVICE_POLLING OPTIONS MADE UNKNOWN
173-------------------------------------------
174
175DEVICE_POLLING was replaced by IFPOLL_ENABLE and the former SMP code is
176the default now (even on single-core systems), both for, like, 21 months.
177We kept the options around as no-ops as a convenience, to allow people
178using the same config for the then current release and the then current
179master. That period is now over, so any configs still having those
180options have to be adjusted.
181
182SYSVIPC SYSCALLS MADE NON-OPTIONAL
183----------------------------------
184
185The code related to the SYSVMSG, SYSVSEM and SYSVSHM kernel options is
186now compiled in by default. The options are no-ops for now.
187
188DEFAULT DRIVER CHANGED FOR LSI "THUNDERBOLT" SERIES RAID CONTROLLERS
189--------------------------------------------------------------------
190
191The default driver for those controllers is now mrsas(4) due to reports
192of file system corruption using the mfi(4) driver. The whole issue (and
193how to deal with potential problems when switching) was explained here:
194
195http://lists.dragonflybsd.org/pipermail/users/2014-July/128703.html
196
197A tunable is provided for letting those controllers still attach via
198the mfi(4) driver, hw.mrsas.mfi_enable (see mrsas(4) manual page).
199
200OLDER NETWORK DRIVERS MOVED TO I386 ONLY
201----------------------------------------
202
203The following drivers have been made i386 only: ed(4), sr(4), ng_sync_ar
204and ng_sync_sr. ed(4) used to be in X86_64_GENERIC, so it has to be
205removed in kernel configs derived from X86_64_GENERIC.
206

208+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.6 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
209+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
210
211UPDATE FROM MOST RECENT 3.6
212---------------------------
213
214Versions of 3.6 built before June 25th have a bug where installworld might
215crash during installation of the new initrd.  Upgrade to the latest version
216of 3.6 before updating to 3.8 or later.
217
218ATM, IPX, NCP AND NWFS SUPPORT DROPPED
219--------------------------------------
220
221Support for the IPX and NCP network protocols and for mouting NetWare
222file systems has been dropped. Dito for ATM protocol support.
223
224INITRD IMAGES NOW INSTALLED BY DEFAULT
225--------------------------------------
226
227An initial ramdisk image is now installed in /boot/kernel/initrd.img.gz
228
229Older images installed under the file name of initrd.img will be removed
230automatically by the make upgrade process.
231
232USB4BSD IS NOW THE DEFAULT USB STACK
233------------------------------------
234
235To get back to the old stack, put "WANT_OLDUSB=yes" in /etc/make.conf and
236replace "device usb" with "device oldusb" in the kernel configuration.
237
238MORE ISA SUPPORT DROPPED
239------------------------
240
241ISA support has been dropped from the following drivers: adv(4), an(4),
242ar(4), cs(4), digi(4), ed(4), ep(4), ex(4), fe(4), lnc(4), sbni(4),
243si(4), sn(4), and stg(4).

248
249ABI CHANGE
250----------
251
252Installed third-party software (dports) will have to be rebuilt after upgrade,
253or reinstalled from binary packages.
254
255UPDATING FROM 3.4 TO 3.6
256------------------------
257
258This only applies for this specific upgrade due to locale changes; it is
259not needed for upgrades after 3.6.  Please update in this order:
260
261make buildworld
262make buildkernel
263make installworld
264make installkernel
265*reboot*
266make upgrade
267
268See this mailing list post for details:
269http://lists.dragonflybsd.org/pipermail/users/2013-September/090163.html
270
271CYRIX OPTIONS REMOVED
272---------------------
273
274The following Cyrix related options have been removed: CPU_BTB_EN,
275CPU_CYRIX_NO_LOCK, CPU_DIRECT_MAPPED_CACHE, CPU_DISABLE_5X86_LSSER,
276CPU_FASTER_5X86_FPU, CPU_IORT, CPU_LOOP_EN, CPU_RSTK_EN, CPU_SUSP_HLT,
277CYRIX_CACHE_WORKS, and CYRIX_CACHE_REALLY_WORKS
278
279ISA SUPPORT REMOVED FROM RP(4)
280------------------------------
281
282ISA support has been removed from the rp(4) driver. It is now PCI only.
283
284+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
285+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.2 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
286+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
287
288COMPAT_SUNOS OPTION REMOVED
289---------------------------
290
291The COMPAT_SUNOS option has been removed. It was meant to provide binary
292compatibility with SunOS 4.x for the sparc32 port of 4.4BSD.
293
294ISA SOUND CARD SUPPORT REMOVED
295------------------------------
296
297The following modules have been removed (all for ISA sound cards):
298snd_ad1816.ko, snd_ess.ko, snd_mss.ko, snd_sb8.ko, snd_sb16.ko, snd_sbc.ko
299
300GCC 4.7
301-------
302
303DragonFly has switched base compilers.  GCC 4.7 is now the default
304compiler and GCC 4.4 is the alternative compiler.  The "NO_GCC47" make
305variable ceases to work now.
306
307Users who wish to build only GCC 4.7 have to use NO_GCC44 in the
308/etc/make.conf to prohibit GCC 4.4 from building.  However, using it is
309highly discouraged.  There are a few packages in pkgsrc that do not build
310with GCC 4.7 and the new "DPorts" system uses GCC 4.4 by default.  At
311this time, it is recommended to keep both compilers on the base system.
312
313SMP OPTION REMOVED
314------------------
315
316The SMP kernel option has been made a no-op. All kernels now feature SMP
317support. If you have 'options SMP' in your kernel config, you can as well
318remove it.
319
320DEVICE_POLLING OPTION REPLACED BY IFPOLL_ENABLE OPTION, KTR_POLLING REMOVED
321---------------------------------------------------------------------------
322
323The DEVICE_POLLING kernel option has been made a no-op and it has been
324replaced by IFPOLL_ENABLE.  If you have 'options DEVICE_POLLING' in your
325kernel config, you need to change it to IFPOLL_ENABLE.
326
327Also, the KTR_POLLING kernel option has been removed, so it must be
328removed from kernel configs that have it.
329
330BUSLOGIC, CYCLADES AND STALLION ISA SUPPORT REMOVED
331---------------------------------------------------
332
333The bt(4) driver for Buslogic SCSI adapters has been made PCI only. ISA
334cards will no longer be detected.
335
336The same has been done for Stallion multiport serial controllers. stli(4)
337has been completely removed (along with the stlload(8) and stlstty(8)
338utilities) and stl(4) was changed to support only PCI cards. Similarly,
339ISA support was removed from cy(4) too. All these drivers are i386 only.
340
341COMPAT_OLDISA OPTION GONE
342-------------------------
343
344The i386 specific COMPAT_OLDISA kernel option has been removed, since
345nothing needs it anymore.
346
347+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
348+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.0 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
349+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
350
351APIC_IO OPTION REMOVED
352----------------------
353
354The APIC_IO kernel option is no longer accepted after having been without
355effect for a while. The hw.ioapic_enable tunable now serves its purpose.
356If you have 'options APIC_IO' in your kernel config, you'll have to
357remove it.
358
359WATCHDOG_ENABLE & HW_WDOG OPTIONS REMOVED
360-----------------------------------------
361
362The wdog framework is now compiled into our kernels by default, so the
363options are no longer needed.
364
365DOSCMD(1) REMOVED
366-----------------
367
368doscmd(1) has been removed. It was i386 only. The doscmd(1) specific
369NO_X make.conf option was removed too.
370
371GCC 4.7
372-------
373
374GCC 4.7 has been brought in and replaces GCC 4.1 as DragonFly's non-
375default compiler in base (default is still GCC 4.4).
376
377Users who wish to build only GCC 4.4 have to replace NO_GCC41 with
378NO_GCC47 in /etc/make.conf.
379
380USB4BSD
381-------
382
383A new USB stack (from FreeBSD) has been brought in. The following
384modules have been ported so far: usb, uhci, ohci, ehci, xhci, umass,
385usfs, uether, if_axe, if_udav, ukbd, ums, uep, uhid, usb_quirk,
386and uaudio.
387
388It is not yet the default. To activate it, WANT_USB4BSD=yes has to
389be put in make.conf and device "usb4bsd" (quotes needed) has to
390replace device usb in the kernel config. After that, a full
391build/install/upgrade cycle is needed.
392
393Note that this is experimental and incomplete, but we are interested
394in hearing about issues with it, of course.
395
396ISA SUPPORT REMOVED FROM AIC-6260/6360 DRIVER
397---------------------------------------------
398
399ISA adapter support was dropped from the aic(4) driver.

403+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
404
405SEVERAL ISA DRIVERS REMOVED
406---------------------------
407
408The following ISA only drivers have been removed along with a couple of
409associated userland tools:
410
411aha(4)
412asc(4) & sasc(1)
413ctx
414dgb(4)
415el(4)
416gpib
417gsc(4) & sgsc(1)
418ie(4)
419labpc(4)
420le(4)
421mse(4)
422rc(4)
423rdp(4)
424spigot
425tw(4) & xten(1) & xtend(8)
426wl(4) & wlconfig(8)
427wt(4)
428
429Note that two of these drivers (aha(4) and ie(4)) are in our GENERIC
430config and one (aha(4)) is in our X86_64_GENERIC kernel configuration
431file.
432
433If buildkernel complains about any of these drivers, just remove them
434from your kernel configuration.
435
436BINUTILS 2.20
437-------------
438Binutils 2.20 has been removed in favor of Binutils 2.22.  The accepted
439values of BINUTILSVERS are now binutils221 and binutils222 (default).
440
441BUILDWORLD/-KERNEL PARALLELIZATION WORK
442---------------------------------------
443Due to changes in the way we build with more than one make job, you
444will have to update install(1) and mkdir(1) prior to buildworld if you
445want to build with 'make -j':
446
447cd /usr/src/usr.bin/xinstall; make; make install; make clean
448cd /usr/src/bin/mkdir; make; make install; make clean
449
450DMA(8) UPGRADE
451--------------
452dma(8) has been upgraded to v0.7 which no longer supports the
453/etc/dma/virtusertable. Some of its functionality has been replaced
454with the MASQUERADE keyword and the EMAIL environment variable (see
455the dma(8) manual page).
456

459+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
460
461GCC 4.4 & BINUTILS 2.21
462-----------------------
463
464GCC 4.4 has been made DragonFly's default compiler and Binutils 2.21 has
465been made DragonFly's default Binutils.
466
467That means that any settings that set CCVER to 'gcc44' are not needed
468anymore. Instead, CCVER can be set to 'gcc41' to go back to using
469GCC 4.1.
470
471It also means that 'binutils221' as a value for BINUTILSVER has no
472effect anymore. 2.17 has been removed and 'binutils220' is available
473as an option.
474
475The NO_GCC44 option has been removed and will not affect the build
476anymore. There is now a NO_GCC41 option that will prevent GCC 4.1 from
477building in a similar fashion.
478
479Note that you must do a full buildworld/buildkernel for upgrading.
480
481pkg_radd settings
482-----------------
483
484The config file for pkg_radd has moved from /etc/settings.conf to
485/etc/pkg_radd.conf.  Save the contents of settings.conf before upgrading
486if this is needed.  This warning only applies if /etc/settings.conf
487exists.  pkg_radd will continue to work with defaults.

493
494OpenSSL
495--------
496
497OpenSSL has been upgraded, and SHLIB_MAJOR was bumped for libssh and libcrypto.
498This shouldn't break any 3rd-party software, but you'll need to recompile your
4993rd-party software if you want it to link against the new version of OpenSSL.
500
501Loader
502-------
503
504A new loader (dloader) has been added which better handles booting from
505multiple kernel/module versions.
506
507To upgrade (Only for this upgrade, for post 2.8 upgrades see GENERAL below)
508
509	cd /usr/src
510	make buildworld
511	make installworld
512	make upgrade
513	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
514	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
515
516Note that you must installworld and run the 'upgrade' target before
517installing the new kernel.
518
519BIND
520-----
521
522BIND has been removed from the base system.  The ldns and drill tools have
523been added for basic functionality.  Use 'drill' where you would normally
524use nslookup or dig, or install BIND from pkgsrc.  It's available as
525net/bind95, net/bind96, or net/bind97 as of this writing.
526
527This only affects older systems upgrading to 2.8.  New 2.8+ installs
528include BIND as a pkgsrc package.

531+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY ON AN EXISTING DRAGONFLY SYSTEM		+
532+				GENERAL					+
533+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
534
535Instructions on how to obtain and maintain DragonFly source code using git
536are in the development(7) manual page.
537
538To upgrade a DragonFly system from sources you run the following sequence:
539
540	cd /usr/src
541	make buildworld
542	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
543	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
544	make installworld
545
546You will also want to run the 'upgrade' target to upgrade your /etc and the
547rest of your system.  The upgrade target is aware of stale files created by
548older DragonFly installations and should delete them automatically.
549
550	make upgrade
551
552See the build(7) manual page for further information.
553
554Once you've done a full build of the world and kernel you can do incremental
555upgrades of either by using the 'quickworld' and 'quickkernel' targets
556instead of 'buildworld' and 'buildkernel'.  If you have any problems with
557the quick targets, try updating your repo first, and then a full buildworld
558and buildkernel as shown above, before asking for help.

561+         UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 2.0 TO DRAGONFLY >= 2.1		+
562+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
563
564In 2.1 kernel and modules has moved to boot directory.  For most cases
565this is handled automatically by 'make upgrade'.  A few cases needs manual
566intervention:
567
568 * When installing a kernel without first doing a make buildworld,
569   installworld and upgrade to the same DESTDIR as kernel:
570   make DESTDIR/boot directory and move kernel and modules into this boot
571   directory; also move kernel.old and modules.old.
572   Typical example is vkernel(7), use (no modules used):
573
574	cd /var/vkernel
575	mkdir boot
576	chflags noschg kernel
577	mv kernel kernel.old boot
578	chflags schg boot/kernel
579
580 * When using a boot-only partition, /boot/loader.rc needs to be edited:
581   delete occurrences of '/boot/'.
582   These occurences can normally be deleted in any case, see loader(8).
583
584+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
585+         UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 1.8 TO DRAGONFLY >= 1.9		+
586+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
587
588In 1.9 major changes to the disk management infrastructure have taken
589place.  make upgrade may not catch all of your disk devices in /dev,
590so after upgrading be sure to cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV <blah> where <blah>
591are all of your disk devices.  HOWEVER, from late 2.3 on we run devfs
592and MAKEDEV no longer exists.
593
594The biggest changes in 1.9 are:
595
596(1) That whole-slice devices such as da0s1 no longer share the same device
597    id as partition c devices such as da0s1c.
598
599(2) The whole-disk device (e.g. da0) is full raw access to the disk,
600    with no snooping or reserved sectors.  Consequently you cannot run
601    disklabel on this device.  Instead you must run disklabel on a
602    whole-slice device.
603
604(3) The 'compatibility' partitions now use slice 0 in the device name,
605    so instead of da0a you must specify da0s0a.  Also, as per (1) above,
606    accessing the disklabel for the compatibility partitions must be
607    done via slice 0 (da0s0).
608
609(4) Many device drivers that used to fake up labels, such as CD, ACD, VN,
610    and CCD now run through the disk management layer and are assigned
611    real disk management devices.   VN and CCD in particular do not usually
612    use a MBR and disklabels must be accessed through the compatibility
613    slice 0.  Your /etc/ccd.conf file still specifies 'ccd0', though, you
614    don't name it 'ccd0s0' in the config file.
615
616Generally speaking, you have to get used to running fdisk and disklabel on
617the correctly specified device names.  A lot of the wiggle, such as running
618disklabel on a partition, has been removed.

624> Kerberos IV
625-------------
626
627Kerberos IV (eBones) was removed from the tree, please consider moving to
628Kerberos 5 (Heimdal).
629
630> Package Management System
631---------------------------
632
633Starting with the 1.4 release, DragonFly uses NetBSD's pkgsrc package
634management system.  The necessary tools to build and maintain packages
635are provided in /usr/pkg/bin and /usr/pkg/sbin.  Make sure that these
636directories are in your PATH variable.
637
638In order to obtain a reasonably current snapshot of the pkgsrc tree, use
639the tarball from NetBSD:
640
641	fetch -o /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc.tar.gz
642	cd /usr; tar -xzf /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz; chown -R root:wheel pkgsrc
643
644This tree can then be kept up to date with cvs update:
645
646	cd /usr/pkgsrc; cvs up
647
648NOTE! If you upgraded from a pre-1.4 system to 1.4 or later, you need to
649build and install the pkgsrc bootstrap manually:
650
651	cd /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap
652	./bootstrap --pkgdbdir /var/db/pkg --prefix /usr/pkg

659
660The compatibility shims for the build environment have been removed, you
661have to update to DragonFly 1.2 release branch first.
662
663The default PAM configuration has moved from /etc/pam.conf to /etc/pam.d/.
664The existing configuration can be converted using /etc/pam.d/convert.sh.
665Entries in /etc/pam.d/ override entries in /etc/pam.conf. In addition
666the pam_skey.so module was retired, you have to remove it manually from
667your configuration, when you convert it.
668
669> Required user and group IDs when upgrading from either FreeBSD or DragonFly
670---------------------
671
672The following users may be missing from your password file.  Use vipw and
673add any that are missing:
674
675smmsp:*:25:25::0:0:Sendmail Submission User:/var/spool/clientmqueue:/sbin/nologin
676_pflogd:*:64:64::0:0:pflogd privsep user:/var/empty:/sbin/nologin
677
678The following groups may be missing from your group file.  Use vi /etc/group
679and add any that are missing:
680
681smmsp:*:25:

683_pflogd:*:64:
684
685
686> Upgrading to DragonFly from FreeBSD
687---------------------
688
689You can build the DragonFly world and DragonFly kernels on a FreeBSD-4.x or
690FreeBSD-5.x machine and then install DragonFly over FreeBSD, replacing
691FreeBSD.  Note that the DragonFly buildworld target does not try to reuse
692make depend information, it starts from scratch, so no pre-cleaning of the
693object hierarchy is necessary.
694
695	# get the CVS repository (it is placed in /home/dcvs, 500MB).
696	# Please use the -h option and a mirror site to pull the
697	# initial repository, but feel free to use the main repository
698	# machine to pull updates.
699	cvsup /usr/share/examples/cvsup/DragonFly-cvs-supfile
700	# install the source from the CVS hierarchy (remove preexisting
701	# FreeBSD src first) (500MB)
702	cd /usr
703	rm -rf src
704	cvs -R -d /home/dcvs checkout -P src
705
706	# build it (500MB used in /usr/obj)
707	#
708	cd /usr/src
709	make buildworld
710	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
711
712Once you have built DragonFly you have to install it over FreeBSD.  Since
713DragonFly does not track changes made by FreeBSD to its include file
714hierarchy and include file pollution can cause all sorts of unexpected
715compilation issues to come up, it is best to wipe your include hierarchy
716prior to installing DragonFly.  Note that you should not wipe any installed
717FreeBSD header files or binaries until after you have successfully completed
718the build steps above.
719
720	rm -rf /usr/include
721	mkdir /usr/include
722	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
723	make installworld
724
725Then you need to upgrade your system.  DragonFly's 'make upgrade' target
726will unconditionally upgrade the /etc files that sysops do not usually
727mess around with, such as the files in /etc/rc.d.  It will also remove any
728obsolete files such as utilities and manpages that have been removed from
729the system since the version you're coming from.  If you are unsure we
730recommend that you make a backup of at least your /etc before applying
731this step.  Note that DragonFly's RC system is basically RCNG from
732FreeBSD-5, but there are some differences in the contents of the RC files.
733
734	make upgrade
735
736NOTE! Never do a 'make upgrade' before 'make installworld' has been run.
737Doing so might leave your system in an unusable state.
738
739Finally we recommend that you do an 'ls -lta BLAH' for /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin,
740/usr/bin, and /usr/lib, and remove any stale files that you find.  Please
741report these files to the DragonFly developers so that they can be added to
742the 'upgrade' target.
