12+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 5.0 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
13+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
14
15VARIOUS FORMER OPTIONS REMOVED
16------------------------------
17
18Various former kernel configuration options which had been no-ops for
19some time were completely removed: SYSVMSG, SYSVSEM, SYSVSHM, P1003_1B,
20_KPOSIX_VERSION and DSCHED_FQ. Users that have any of these still in
21their kernel configuration files have to remove them.
22
23BOOTSTRAPPING LIMITED FROM PRE 4.4
24----------------------------------
25
26Upgrading to 5.1 and later versions now require at least 4.4 in
27preparations for upcoming base compilers updates.
28
29IF_PPP, PPPD, IF_FAITH, AND FAITHD REMOVED
30------------------------------------------
31
32if_ppp has been replaced by "user ppp", i.e. ppp(8) and tun(4). It had
33already been removed from our default kernel configuration before 5.0,
34so only people with custom configurations based on earlier X86_64_GENERIC
35will have to remove it manually.
36
37The faith(4) interface has been completely removed after it had also
38been removed from our default kernel configuration.
39
40+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
41+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 4.8 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
42+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
43
44FFS_ROOT OPTION DISABLED
45------------------------
46
47The FFS_ROOT option has been made a no-op and will be completely removed
48at some point in the future. Users with a custom kernel configuration
49can remove this option from it now.
50
51+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
52+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 4.6 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
53+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
54
55AHC, AHD, AIC, NCV, NSP AND STG DRIVERS REMOVED
56-----------------------------------------------
57
58They were all in our X86_64_GENERIC kernel configuration file, along with
59the AHC_REG_PRETTY_PRINT and AHD_REG_PRETTY_PRINT options, so any custom
60configuration files derived from it need adjustment.
61
62PORTAL FILE SYSTEM REMOVED
63--------------------------
64
65It has been broken for a long time now.
66
67BINUTILS 2.27 REPLACES 2.24, PRIMARY
68------------------------------------
69
70The oldest of the two versions of Binutils, version 2.24, was removed
71and replaced with Binutils 2.27.  It becomes the primary version version
72of binutils and version 2.25 becomes the alternate.
73
74The accepted values of BINUTILSVER are now "binutils227" (default) and
75"binutils225".  The building of Binutils 2.25 can be prevented by setting
76NO_ALTBINUTILS=yes in make.conf.
77
78COMPAT_43 KERNEL OPTION REMOVED
79-------------------------------
80
81It was commented out in our default configs for several years now, but
82might still be present in custom configs created before Nov. 2011.
83
84OPENSSL REMOVED
85---------------
86
87OpenSSL has been removed from base and replaced with a private version of
88LibreSSL.  The previously installed OpenSSL libraries, headers, and man
89pages will remain on the system unless the "make upgrade" command is
90specifically instructed to remove them.  To do this, define
91REMOVE_OPENSSL_FILES for the upgrade command, e.g.
92"make upgrade REMOVE_OPENSSL_FILES=yes"
93
9428-Oct-2016: openssl has been replaced by ressl.  It is recommended that any
95stale OpenSSL files be removed to avoid configuration scripts from using
96the stale and potentially vulnerable version, but all binaries that are
97dynamically linked to the OpenSSL libraries should be rebuilt first to
98avoid breakage.
99
100OPENSSH HPN REMOVED
101-------------------
102
103It has become too cumbersome to maintain HPN patches in OpenSSH in base.
104To use OpenSSH in base remove HPN config, if you have added it.
105Check files below for HPN config, see a few lines below.
106  /etc/ssh/ssh_config, /etc/ssh/sshd_config, ~/.ssh/config
107sshd(8) will fail to start if HPN config is used.
108
109NOTE: HPN config in sshd_config will prohibit remote access to host using ssh.
110
111HPN config:
112HPNDisabled
113HPNBufferSize
114TcpRcvBuf
115TcpRcvBufPoll
116NoneEnabled
117NoneSwitch
118cipher MTR-AES-CTR
119cipher NONE
120
121OpenSSH HPN is a patch set to OpenSSH providing higher performance under some
122circumstances, especially for networking.
123If HPN functionality is needed, install security/openssh from dports.
124
125CS, EX AND VX DRIVERS REMOVED
126-----------------------------
127
128The cs(4), ex(4) and vx(4) drivers have been removed. They were very
129old and its doubtful they ever worked properly in x86_64 but they were
130in X86_64_GENERIC, so custom configurations derived from it have to be
131adjusted.
132
133+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
134+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 4.4 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
135+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
136
137AMD REMOVED
138-----------
139
140The am-utils automounter suite has been removed. It stopped working
141at some point and was never fixed. autofs(5) and the associated
142userland has been brought in from FreeBSD and replaces it.
143
144AN DRIVER REMOVED
145-----------------
146
147The an(4) driver has been removed. It was in the X86_64_GENERIC kernel
148config file, so any configurations derived from it have to be adjusted.
149
150/DEV/DRI GROUP CHANGED
151----------------------
152
153The default group assigned to /dev/dri entries has been changed
154from 'wheel' to 'video' with the id of '44'. If you want to have
155access to the dri devices please add yourself to the video group
156with:
157
158# pw groupmod video -m $USER
159
160+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
161+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 4.2 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
162+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
163
164DSCHED REMOVED
165--------------
166
167dsched(4) has been removed and one of its kernel options, DSCHED_FQ, was
168in our default kernel config file. So the DSCHED_FQ option has been turned
169into a no-op for now and can be removed from custom configurations.
170
171EST DRIVER REMOVED, COMPILE_ET AND LIBCOM_ERR TOO
172-------------------------------------------------
173
174The est(4) driver has been removed. All CPUs it supported (except one)
175were 32 bits only. Those who are still using the Core 2 Duo T7500 should
176report back if there are any issues with this CPU and our regular ACPI
177P-state support.
178
179Also, compile_et(1) and com_err(3) have been removed as well. They
180should have been removed along with kerberos support, back in 2009.
181
182SEVERAL LOCALES RENAMED
183-----------------------
184
185Several locales were using obsolete and misleading names, and thus have
186been adjusted to current standards. Any users of the following locales
187need to select alternates:
188
189DFLY 4.2 locale            DFLY 4.4 alterative locale

211
212BINUTILS 2.25 REPLACES 2.22, PRIMARY
213------------------------------------
214
215The oldest of the two versions of Binutils, version 2.22, was removed
216and replaced with Binutils 2.25.  It becomes the primary version version
217of binutils and version 2.24 becomes the alternate.  There are 8 current
218CVE written against 2.24, so for security reasons version 2.25 should
219always be used.
220
221The accepted values of BINUTILSVER are now "binutils225" (default) and
222"binutils224".  The building of Binutils 2.24 can be prevented by setting
223NO_ALTBINUTILS=yes in make.conf.
224
225LOADER OPTIONS CHANGED
226----------------------
227
228Right after the development branch started, the Fred art accompanying the
229loader menu was improved.  The line between Fred and the menu was removed
230by default (but can optionally be returned) and the placement shifted as
231a result.  The drawing was improved, and the colored version was improved,
232changing the eyes and wing color from white to red.  A new color version
233of Fred was added, one with a blue scheme.
234
235The loader menu defaults have changed since release 4.0:  The vertical
236line was removed, the loader is displayed in color by default*, and the
237blue scheme is used.
238
239The loader.conf changes are:
240loader_color:   option has been removed
241loader_plain:   option has been added, it changed menu to monochrome
242fred_is_red:    changes color scheme from blue to red
243fred_is_blue:   option existed only on 4.1, it has been removed
244fred_separated: Adds line between Fred and menu (as seen previously)
245
246* If loader.conf defines "console" as "comconsole" or "console" is defined
247  in the environment as "comconsole" then color will not be displayed,
248  even if loader_plain value is "NO".
249
250SENDMAIL REMOVED FROM BASE
251--------------------------
252
253The only Mail Transfer Agent provided now is DragonFly Mail Agent (dma).
254If the system being upgraded is still configured to use the sendmail
255binaries from base, the "make upgrade" command will fail.
256
257The administrator must change /etc/mail/mailer.conf to switch the
258mailwrapper to dma or a DPorts-based MTA prior to running the upgrade
259command that permanently removes sendmail executables and could
260potentially break a running mail server.
261
262Refer: http://www.dragonflybsd.com/docs/docs/newhandbook/mta/ for
263detailed instructions on how to configure the MTA selection.
264
265_KPOSIX_VERSION and P1003_1B OPTIONS REMOVED
266--------------------------------------------
267
268The _KPOSIX_VERSION and P1003_1B kernel options have been changed to
269no-ops. They can be removed from custom kernel configurations.
270
271SOUND SYSTEM UPDATED FROM FreeBSD 11-CURRENT
272--------------------------------------------
273
274Many more sound devices may be detected.
275
276If the default device choosen isn't to your liking, setting the sysctl
277hw.snd.default_unit to a different number will change it.
278
279SCTP SUPPORT DROPPED
280--------------------
281
282Support for the SCTP protocol has been removed.
283
284OLD USB DRIVERS REMOVED
285-----------------------
286
287The old USB stack, along with the kernel config option "device oldusb"
288and the make.conf variable "WANT_OLDUSB" have been removed. This means
289that for custom kernel configuration files which were derived from a
290GENERIC or X86_64_GENERIC file prior to making the usb4bsd stack default,
291various (old USB stack specific) devices will now complain about being
292unknown:
293
294  * oldusb	(obviously)
295  * natausb	(not yet ported to usb4bsd)
296  * rue		(not yet ported to usb4bsd)
297  * ugen	(no longer needed in usb4bsd)
298  * urio	(not yet ported to usb4bsd)
299  * uscanner	(no longer needed in usb4bsd)
300
301They should be removed or commented out in such custom kernel configs.
302
303GCC 5
304-----
305
306The GCC 4.4 compiler has been retired.  It has been replaced by a GCC 5.1.
307The following make.conf variables no longer work: NO_GCC44, NO_OBJC, and
308NO_CXX.  The latter was never documented and the latest versions of GCC are
309partially written in C++ so a C++ compiler is no longer optional.  In
310practical terms it has not been optional for many years as other base
311components are also written in C++.  The resource savings by avoiding
312building Objective-C compiler is so small, the complexity added by NO_OBJC
313internally was deemed a bad tradeoff so that is the reason for its removal.
314Also note that no "info" pages are installed with GCC 5.  After this entry
315was originally written, all info pages were removed from DragonFly.
316
317GCC 5.1 has been designated as the primary compiler.  As such, there is a
318new make.conf variable, NO_ALTCOMPILER.  It will block the rebuilding of
319the designated secondary compiler, GCC 4.7.  However, while DPorts
320primarily uses GCC 5 to build ports now, it still uses GCC 4.7 as well, so
321if building ports from source is desired, don't block building of the
322secondary compiler.

326+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
327
328SMP AND DEVICE_POLLING OPTIONS MADE UNKNOWN
329-------------------------------------------
330
331DEVICE_POLLING was replaced by IFPOLL_ENABLE and the former SMP code is
332the default now (even on single-core systems), both for, like, 21 months.
333We kept the options around as no-ops as a convenience, to allow people
334using the same config for the then current release and the then current
335master. That period is now over, so any configs still having those
336options have to be adjusted.
337
338SYSVIPC SYSCALLS MADE NON-OPTIONAL
339----------------------------------
340
341The code related to the SYSVMSG, SYSVSEM and SYSVSHM kernel options is
342now compiled in by default. The options are no-ops for now.
343
344DEFAULT DRIVER CHANGED FOR LSI "THUNDERBOLT" SERIES RAID CONTROLLERS
345--------------------------------------------------------------------
346
347The default driver for those controllers is now mrsas(4) due to reports
348of file system corruption using the mfi(4) driver. The whole issue (and
349how to deal with potential problems when switching) was explained here:
350
351http://lists.dragonflybsd.org/pipermail/users/2014-July/128703.html
352
353A tunable is provided for letting those controllers still attach via
354the mfi(4) driver, hw.mrsas.mfi_enable (see mrsas(4) manual page).
355
356OLDER NETWORK DRIVERS MOVED TO I386 ONLY
357----------------------------------------
358
359The following drivers have been made i386 only: ed(4), sr(4), ng_sync_ar
360and ng_sync_sr. ed(4) used to be in X86_64_GENERIC, so it has to be
361removed in kernel configs derived from X86_64_GENERIC.

366
367UPDATE FROM MOST RECENT 3.6
368---------------------------
369
370Versions of 3.6 built before June 25th have a bug where installworld might
371crash during installation of the new initrd.  Upgrade to the latest version
372of 3.6 before updating to 3.8 or later.
373
374ATM, IPX, NCP AND NWFS SUPPORT DROPPED
375--------------------------------------
376
377Support for the IPX and NCP network protocols and for mouting NetWare
378file systems has been dropped. Dito for ATM protocol support.
379
380INITRD IMAGES NOW INSTALLED BY DEFAULT
381--------------------------------------
382
383An initial ramdisk image is now installed in /boot/kernel/initrd.img.gz
384
385Older images installed under the file name of initrd.img will be removed
386automatically by the make upgrade process.
387
388USB4BSD IS NOW THE DEFAULT USB STACK
389------------------------------------
390
391To get back to the old stack, put "WANT_OLDUSB=yes" in /etc/make.conf and
392replace "device usb" with "device oldusb" in the kernel configuration.
393
394MORE ISA SUPPORT DROPPED
395------------------------
396
397ISA support has been dropped from the following drivers: adv(4), an(4),
398ar(4), cs(4), digi(4), ed(4), ep(4), ex(4), fe(4), lnc(4), sbni(4),
399si(4), sn(4), and stg(4).

406----------
407
408Installed third-party software (dports) will have to be rebuilt after upgrade,
409or reinstalled from binary packages.
410
411UPDATING FROM 3.4 TO 3.6
412------------------------
413
414This only applies for this specific upgrade due to locale changes; it is
415not needed for upgrades after 3.6.  Please update in this order:
416
417make buildworld
418make buildkernel
419make installworld
420make installkernel
421*reboot*
422make upgrade

426
427CYRIX OPTIONS REMOVED
428---------------------
429
430The following Cyrix related options have been removed: CPU_BTB_EN,
431CPU_CYRIX_NO_LOCK, CPU_DIRECT_MAPPED_CACHE, CPU_DISABLE_5X86_LSSER,
432CPU_FASTER_5X86_FPU, CPU_IORT, CPU_LOOP_EN, CPU_RSTK_EN, CPU_SUSP_HLT,
433CYRIX_CACHE_WORKS, and CYRIX_CACHE_REALLY_WORKS
434
435ISA SUPPORT REMOVED FROM RP(4)
436------------------------------
437
438ISA support has been removed from the rp(4) driver. It is now PCI only.

444COMPAT_SUNOS OPTION REMOVED
445---------------------------
446
447The COMPAT_SUNOS option has been removed. It was meant to provide binary
448compatibility with SunOS 4.x for the sparc32 port of 4.4BSD.
449
450ISA SOUND CARD SUPPORT REMOVED
451------------------------------
452
453The following modules have been removed (all for ISA sound cards):
454snd_ad1816.ko, snd_ess.ko, snd_mss.ko, snd_sb8.ko, snd_sb16.ko, snd_sbc.ko
455
456GCC 4.7
457-------
458
459DragonFly has switched base compilers.  GCC 4.7 is now the default
460compiler and GCC 4.4 is the alternative compiler.  The "NO_GCC47" make
461variable ceases to work now.
462
463Users who wish to build only GCC 4.7 have to use NO_GCC44 in the
464/etc/make.conf to prohibit GCC 4.4 from building.  However, using it is
465highly discouraged.  There are a few packages in pkgsrc that do not build
466with GCC 4.7 and the new "DPorts" system uses GCC 4.4 by default.  At
467this time, it is recommended to keep both compilers on the base system.
468
469SMP OPTION REMOVED
470------------------
471
472The SMP kernel option has been made a no-op. All kernels now feature SMP
473support. If you have 'options SMP' in your kernel config, you can as well
474remove it.
475
476DEVICE_POLLING OPTION REPLACED BY IFPOLL_ENABLE OPTION, KTR_POLLING REMOVED
477---------------------------------------------------------------------------
478
479The DEVICE_POLLING kernel option has been made a no-op and it has been
480replaced by IFPOLL_ENABLE.  If you have 'options DEVICE_POLLING' in your
481kernel config, you need to change it to IFPOLL_ENABLE.
482
483Also, the KTR_POLLING kernel option has been removed, so it must be
484removed from kernel configs that have it.
485
486BUSLOGIC, CYCLADES AND STALLION ISA SUPPORT REMOVED
487---------------------------------------------------
488
489The bt(4) driver for Buslogic SCSI adapters has been made PCI only. ISA
490cards will no longer be detected.
491
492The same has been done for Stallion multiport serial controllers. stli(4)
493has been completely removed (along with the stlload(8) and stlstty(8)
494utilities) and stl(4) was changed to support only PCI cards. Similarly,
495ISA support was removed from cy(4) too. All these drivers are i386 only.
496
497COMPAT_OLDISA OPTION GONE
498-------------------------
499
500The i386 specific COMPAT_OLDISA kernel option has been removed, since
501nothing needs it anymore.

510The APIC_IO kernel option is no longer accepted after having been without
511effect for a while. The hw.ioapic_enable tunable now serves its purpose.
512If you have 'options APIC_IO' in your kernel config, you'll have to
513remove it.
514
515WATCHDOG_ENABLE & HW_WDOG OPTIONS REMOVED
516-----------------------------------------
517
518The wdog framework is now compiled into our kernels by default, so the
519options are no longer needed.
520
521DOSCMD(1) REMOVED
522-----------------
523
524doscmd(1) has been removed. It was i386 only. The doscmd(1) specific
525NO_X make.conf option was removed too.
526
527GCC 4.7
528-------
529
530GCC 4.7 has been brought in and replaces GCC 4.1 as DragonFly's non-
531default compiler in base (default is still GCC 4.4).
532
533Users who wish to build only GCC 4.4 have to replace NO_GCC41 with
534NO_GCC47 in /etc/make.conf.
535
536USB4BSD
537-------
538
539A new USB stack (from FreeBSD) has been brought in. The following
540modules have been ported so far: usb, uhci, ohci, ehci, xhci, umass,
541usfs, uether, if_axe, if_udav, ukbd, ums, uep, uhid, usb_quirk,
542and uaudio.
543
544It is not yet the default. To activate it, WANT_USB4BSD=yes has to
545be put in make.conf and device "usb4bsd" (quotes needed) has to
546replace device usb in the kernel config. After that, a full
547build/install/upgrade cycle is needed.
548
549Note that this is experimental and incomplete, but we are interested
550in hearing about issues with it, of course.
551
552ISA SUPPORT REMOVED FROM AIC-6260/6360 DRIVER
553---------------------------------------------
554
555ISA adapter support was dropped from the aic(4) driver.

560
561SEVERAL ISA DRIVERS REMOVED
562---------------------------
563
564The following ISA only drivers have been removed along with a couple of
565associated userland tools:
566
567aha(4)
568asc(4) & sasc(1)
569ctx
570dgb(4)
571el(4)
572gpib
573gsc(4) & sgsc(1)
574ie(4)
575labpc(4)
576le(4)
577mse(4)
578rc(4)
579rdp(4)
580spigot
581tw(4) & xten(1) & xtend(8)
582wl(4) & wlconfig(8)
583wt(4)
584
585Note that two of these drivers (aha(4) and ie(4)) are in our GENERIC
586config and one (aha(4)) is in our X86_64_GENERIC kernel configuration
587file.
588
589If buildkernel complains about any of these drivers, just remove them
590from your kernel configuration.
591
592BINUTILS 2.20
593-------------
594Binutils 2.20 has been removed in favor of Binutils 2.22.  The accepted
595values of BINUTILSVERS are now binutils221 and binutils222 (default).
596
597BUILDWORLD/-KERNEL PARALLELIZATION WORK
598---------------------------------------
599Due to changes in the way we build with more than one make job, you
600will have to update install(1) and mkdir(1) prior to buildworld if you
601want to build with 'make -j':
602
603cd /usr/src/usr.bin/xinstall; make; make install; make clean
604cd /usr/src/bin/mkdir; make; make install; make clean
605
606DMA(8) UPGRADE
607--------------
608dma(8) has been upgraded to v0.7 which no longer supports the
609/etc/dma/virtusertable. Some of its functionality has been replaced
610with the MASQUERADE keyword and the EMAIL environment variable (see
611the dma(8) manual page).

615+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
616
617GCC 4.4 & BINUTILS 2.21
618-----------------------
619
620GCC 4.4 has been made DragonFly's default compiler and Binutils 2.21 has
621been made DragonFly's default Binutils.
622
623That means that any settings that set CCVER to 'gcc44' are not needed
624anymore. Instead, CCVER can be set to 'gcc41' to go back to using
625GCC 4.1.
626
627It also means that 'binutils221' as a value for BINUTILSVER has no
628effect anymore. 2.17 has been removed and 'binutils220' is available
629as an option.
630
631The NO_GCC44 option has been removed and will not affect the build
632anymore. There is now a NO_GCC41 option that will prevent GCC 4.1 from
633building in a similar fashion.
634
635Note that you must do a full buildworld/buildkernel for upgrading.
636
637pkg_radd settings
638-----------------
639
640The config file for pkg_radd has moved from /etc/settings.conf to
641/etc/pkg_radd.conf.  Save the contents of settings.conf before upgrading
642if this is needed.  This warning only applies if /etc/settings.conf
643exists.  pkg_radd will continue to work with defaults.

650OpenSSL
651--------
652
653OpenSSL has been upgraded, and SHLIB_MAJOR was bumped for libssh and libcrypto.
654This shouldn't break any 3rd-party software, but you'll need to recompile your
6553rd-party software if you want it to link against the new version of OpenSSL.
656
657Loader
658-------
659
660A new loader (dloader) has been added which better handles booting from
661multiple kernel/module versions.
662
663To upgrade (Only for this upgrade, for post 2.8 upgrades see GENERAL below)
664
665	cd /usr/src
666	make buildworld
667	make installworld
668	make upgrade
669	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
670	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
671
672Note that you must installworld and run the 'upgrade' target before
673installing the new kernel.
674
675BIND
676-----
677
678BIND has been removed from the base system.  The ldns and drill tools have
679been added for basic functionality.  Use 'drill' where you would normally
680use nslookup or dig, or install BIND from pkgsrc.  It's available as
681net/bind95, net/bind96, or net/bind97 as of this writing.
682
683This only affects older systems upgrading to 2.8.  New 2.8+ installs
684include BIND as a pkgsrc package.
685
686+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
687+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY ON AN EXISTING DRAGONFLY SYSTEM		+
688+				GENERAL					+
689+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
690
691Instructions on how to obtain and maintain DragonFly source code using git
692are in the development(7) manual page.
693
694To upgrade a DragonFly system from sources you run the following sequence:
695
696	cd /usr/src
697	make buildworld
698	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
699	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
700	make installworld
701
702You will also want to run the 'upgrade' target to upgrade your /etc and the
703rest of your system.  The upgrade target is aware of stale files created by
704older DragonFly installations and should delete them automatically.
705
706	make upgrade
707
708See the build(7) manual page for further information.
709
710Once you've done a full build of the world and kernel you can do incremental
711upgrades of either by using the 'quickworld' and 'quickkernel' targets
712instead of 'buildworld' and 'buildkernel'.  If you have any problems with
713the quick targets, try updating your repo first, and then a full buildworld
714and buildkernel as shown above, before asking for help.
715
716+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
717+         UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 2.0 TO DRAGONFLY >= 2.1		+
718+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
719
720In 2.1 kernel and modules has moved to boot directory.  For most cases
721this is handled automatically by 'make upgrade'.  A few cases needs manual
722intervention:
723
724 * When installing a kernel without first doing a make buildworld,
725   installworld and upgrade to the same DESTDIR as kernel:
726   make DESTDIR/boot directory and move kernel and modules into this boot
727   directory; also move kernel.old and modules.old.
728   Typical example is vkernel(7), use (no modules used):
729
730	cd /var/vkernel
731	mkdir boot
732	chflags noschg kernel
733	mv kernel kernel.old boot
734	chflags schg boot/kernel
735
736 * When using a boot-only partition, /boot/loader.rc needs to be edited:
737   delete occurrences of '/boot/'.
738   These occurences can normally be deleted in any case, see loader(8).
739
740+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
741+         UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 1.8 TO DRAGONFLY >= 1.9		+
742+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
743
744In 1.9 major changes to the disk management infrastructure have taken
745place.  make upgrade may not catch all of your disk devices in /dev,
746so after upgrading be sure to cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV <blah> where <blah>
747are all of your disk devices.  HOWEVER, from late 2.3 on we run devfs
748and MAKEDEV no longer exists.
749
750The biggest changes in 1.9 are:
751
752(1) That whole-slice devices such as da0s1 no longer share the same device
753    id as partition c devices such as da0s1c.
754
755(2) The whole-disk device (e.g. da0) is full raw access to the disk,
756    with no snooping or reserved sectors.  Consequently you cannot run
757    disklabel on this device.  Instead you must run disklabel on a
758    whole-slice device.
759
760(3) The 'compatibility' partitions now use slice 0 in the device name,
761    so instead of da0a you must specify da0s0a.  Also, as per (1) above,
762    accessing the disklabel for the compatibility partitions must be
763    done via slice 0 (da0s0).
764
765(4) Many device drivers that used to fake up labels, such as CD, ACD, VN,
766    and CCD now run through the disk management layer and are assigned
767    real disk management devices.   VN and CCD in particular do not usually
768    use a MBR and disklabels must be accessed through the compatibility
769    slice 0.  Your /etc/ccd.conf file still specifies 'ccd0', though, you
770    don't name it 'ccd0s0' in the config file.
771
772Generally speaking, you have to get used to running fdisk and disklabel on
773the correctly specified device names.  A lot of the wiggle, such as running
774disklabel on a partition, has been removed.

780> Kerberos IV
781-------------
782
783Kerberos IV (eBones) was removed from the tree, please consider moving to
784Kerberos 5 (Heimdal).
785
786> Package Management System
787---------------------------
788
789Starting with the 1.4 release, DragonFly uses NetBSD's pkgsrc package
790management system.  The necessary tools to build and maintain packages
791are provided in /usr/pkg/bin and /usr/pkg/sbin.  Make sure that these
792directories are in your PATH variable.
793
794In order to obtain a reasonably current snapshot of the pkgsrc tree, use
795the tarball from NetBSD:
796
797	fetch -o /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc.tar.gz
798	cd /usr; tar -xzf /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz; chown -R root:wheel pkgsrc
799
800This tree can then be kept up to date with cvs update:
801
802	cd /usr/pkgsrc; cvs up
803
804NOTE! If you upgraded from a pre-1.4 system to 1.4 or later, you need to
805build and install the pkgsrc bootstrap manually:
806
807	cd /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap
808	./bootstrap --pkgdbdir /var/db/pkg --prefix /usr/pkg

815
816The compatibility shims for the build environment have been removed, you
817have to update to DragonFly 1.2 release branch first.
818
819The default PAM configuration has moved from /etc/pam.conf to /etc/pam.d/.
820The existing configuration can be converted using /etc/pam.d/convert.sh.
821Entries in /etc/pam.d/ override entries in /etc/pam.conf. In addition
822the pam_skey.so module was retired, you have to remove it manually from
823your configuration, when you convert it.
824
825> Required user and group IDs when upgrading from either FreeBSD or DragonFly
826---------------------
827
828The following users may be missing from your password file.  Use vipw and
829add any that are missing:
830
831smmsp:*:25:25::0:0:Sendmail Submission User:/var/spool/clientmqueue:/sbin/nologin
832_pflogd:*:64:64::0:0:pflogd privsep user:/var/empty:/sbin/nologin
833
834The following groups may be missing from your group file.  Use vi /etc/group
835and add any that are missing:
836
837smmsp:*:25:
838authpf:*:63:
839_pflogd:*:64:
840
841
842> Upgrading to DragonFly from FreeBSD
843---------------------
844
845You can build the DragonFly world and DragonFly kernels on a FreeBSD-4.x or
846FreeBSD-5.x machine and then install DragonFly over FreeBSD, replacing
847FreeBSD.  Note that the DragonFly buildworld target does not try to reuse
848make depend information, it starts from scratch, so no pre-cleaning of the
849object hierarchy is necessary.
850
851	# get the CVS repository (it is placed in /home/dcvs, 500MB).
852	# Please use the -h option and a mirror site to pull the
853	# initial repository, but feel free to use the main repository
854	# machine to pull updates.
855	cvsup /usr/share/examples/cvsup/DragonFly-cvs-supfile
856	# install the source from the CVS hierarchy (remove preexisting
857	# FreeBSD src first) (500MB)
858	cd /usr
859	rm -rf src
860	cvs -R -d /home/dcvs checkout -P src
861
862	# build it (500MB used in /usr/obj)
863	#
864	cd /usr/src
865	make buildworld
866	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
867
868Once you have built DragonFly you have to install it over FreeBSD.  Since
869DragonFly does not track changes made by FreeBSD to its include file
870hierarchy and include file pollution can cause all sorts of unexpected
871compilation issues to come up, it is best to wipe your include hierarchy
872prior to installing DragonFly.  Note that you should not wipe any installed
873FreeBSD header files or binaries until after you have successfully completed
874the build steps above.
875
876	rm -rf /usr/include
877	mkdir /usr/include
878	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
879	make installworld
880
881Then you need to upgrade your system.  DragonFly's 'make upgrade' target
882will unconditionally upgrade the /etc files that sysops do not usually
883mess around with, such as the files in /etc/rc.d.  It will also remove any
884obsolete files such as utilities and manpages that have been removed from
885the system since the version you're coming from.  If you are unsure we
886recommend that you make a backup of at least your /etc before applying
887this step.  Note that DragonFly's RC system is basically RCNG from
888FreeBSD-5, but there are some differences in the contents of the RC files.
889
890	make upgrade
891
892NOTE! Never do a 'make upgrade' before 'make installworld' has been run.
893Doing so might leave your system in an unusable state.
894
895Finally we recommend that you do an 'ls -lta BLAH' for /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin,
896/usr/bin, and /usr/lib, and remove any stale files that you find.  Please
897report these files to the DragonFly developers so that they can be added to
898the 'upgrade' target.
