28DSCHED REMOVED
29--------------
30
31dsched(4) has been removed and one of its kernel options, DSCHED_FQ, was
32in our default kernel config file. So the DSCHED_FQ option has been turned
33into a no-op for now and can be removed from custom configurations.
34
35EST DRIVER REMOVED, COMPILE_ET AND LIBCOM_ERR TOO
36-------------------------------------------------
37
38The est(4) driver has been removed. All CPUs it supported (except one)
39were 32 bits only. Those who are still using the Core 2 Duo T7500 should
40report back if there are any issues with this CPU and our regular ACPI
41P-state support.
42
43Also, compile_et(1) and com_err(3) have been removed as well. They
44should have been removed along with kerberos support, back in 2009.
45
46SEVERAL LOCALES RENAMED
47-----------------------
48
49Several locales were using obsolete and misleading names, and thus have
50been adjusted to current standards. Any users of the following locales
51need to select alternates:
52
53DFLY 4.2 locale            DFLY 4.4 alterative locale
54---------------            ------------------------------------
55mn_MN.UTF-8                mn_Cyrl_MN.UTF-8

75
76BINUTILS 2.25 REPLACES 2.22, PRIMARY
77------------------------------------
78
79The oldest of the two versions of Binutils, version 2.22, was removed
80and replaced with Binutils 2.25.  It becomes the primary version version
81of binutils and version 2.24 becomes the alternate.  There are 8 current
82CVE written against 2.24, so for security reasons version 2.25 should
83always be used.
84
85The accepted values of BINUTILSVER are now "binutils225" (default) and
86"binutils224".  The building of Binutils 2.24 can be prevented by setting
87NO_ALTBINUTILS=yes in make.conf.
88
89LOADER OPTIONS CHANGED
90----------------------
91
92Right after the development branch started, the Fred art accompanying the
93loader menu was improved.  The line between Fred and the menu was removed
94by default (but can optionally be returned) and the placement shifted as
95a result.  The drawing was improved, and the colored version was improved,
96changing the eyes and wing color from white to red.  A new color version
97of Fred was added, one with a blue scheme.
98
99The loader menu defaults have changed since release 4.0:  The vertical
100line was removed, the loader is displayed in color by default*, and the
101blue scheme is used.
102
103The loader.conf changes are:
104loader_color:   option has been removed
105loader_plain:   option has been added, it changed menu to monochrome
106fred_is_red:    changes color scheme from blue to red
107fred_is_blue:   option existed only on 4.1, it has been removed
108fred_separated: Adds line between Fred and menu (as seen previously)
109
110* If loader.conf defines "console" as "comconsole" or "console" is defined
111  in the environment as "comconsole" then color will not be displayed,
112  even if loader_plain value is "NO".
113
114SENDMAIL REMOVED FROM BASE
115--------------------------
116
117The only Mail Transfer Agent provided now is DragonFly Mail Agent (dma).
118If the system being upgraded is still configured to use the sendmail
119binaries from base, the "make upgrade" command will fail.
120
121The administrator must change /etc/mail/mailer.conf to switch the
122mailwrapper to dma or a DPorts-based MTA prior to running the upgrade
123command that permanently removes sendmail executables and could
124potentially break a running mail server.
125
126Refer: http://www.dragonflybsd.com/docs/docs/newhandbook/mta/ for
127detailed instructions on how to configure the MTA selection.
128
129_KPOSIX_VERSION and P1003_1B OPTIONS REMOVED
130--------------------------------------------
131
132The _KPOSIX_VERSION and P1003_1B kernel options have been changed to
133no-ops. They can be removed from custom kernel configurations.
134
135SOUND SYSTEM UPDATED FROM FreeBSD 11-CURRENT
136--------------------------------------------
137
138Many more sound devices may be detected.
139
140If the default device choosen isn't to your liking, setting the sysctl
141hw.snd.default_unit to a different number will change it.
142
143SCTP SUPPORT DROPPED
144--------------------
145
146Support for the SCTP protocol has been removed.
147
148OLD USB DRIVERS REMOVED
149-----------------------
150
151The old USB stack, along with the kernel config option "device oldusb"
152and the make.conf variable "WANT_OLDUSB" have been removed. This means
153that for custom kernel configuration files which were derived from a
154GENERIC or X86_64_GENERIC file prior to making the usb4bsd stack default,
155various (old USB stack specific) devices will now complain about being
156unknown:
157
158  * oldusb	(obviously)
159  * natausb	(not yet ported to usb4bsd)
160  * rue		(not yet ported to usb4bsd)
161  * ugen	(no longer needed in usb4bsd)
162  * urio	(not yet ported to usb4bsd)
163  * uscanner	(no longer needed in usb4bsd)
164
165They should be removed or commented out in such custom kernel configs.
166
167GCC 5
168-----
169
170The GCC 4.4 compiler has been retired.  It has been replaced by a GCC 5.1.
171The following make.conf variables no longer work: NO_GCC44, NO_OBJC, and
172NO_CXX.  The latter was never documented and the latest versions of GCC are
173partially written in C++ so a C++ compiler is no longer optional.  In
174practical terms it has not been optional for many years as other base
175components are also written in C++.  The resource savings by avoiding
176building Objective-C compiler is so small, the complexity added by NO_OBJC
177internally was deemed a bad tradeoff so that is the reason for its removal.
178Also note that no "info" pages are installed with GCC 5.  After this entry
179was originally written, all info pages were removed from DragonFly.
180
181GCC 5.1 has been designated as the primary compiler.  As such, there is a
182new make.conf variable, NO_ALTCOMPILER.  It will block the rebuilding of
183the designated secondary compiler, GCC 4.7.  However, while DPorts
184primarily uses GCC 5 to build ports now, it still uses GCC 4.7 as well, so
185if building ports from source is desired, don't block building of the
186secondary compiler.

190+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
191
192SMP AND DEVICE_POLLING OPTIONS MADE UNKNOWN
193-------------------------------------------
194
195DEVICE_POLLING was replaced by IFPOLL_ENABLE and the former SMP code is
196the default now (even on single-core systems), both for, like, 21 months.
197We kept the options around as no-ops as a convenience, to allow people
198using the same config for the then current release and the then current
199master. That period is now over, so any configs still having those
200options have to be adjusted.
201
202SYSVIPC SYSCALLS MADE NON-OPTIONAL
203----------------------------------
204
205The code related to the SYSVMSG, SYSVSEM and SYSVSHM kernel options is
206now compiled in by default. The options are no-ops for now.
207
208DEFAULT DRIVER CHANGED FOR LSI "THUNDERBOLT" SERIES RAID CONTROLLERS
209--------------------------------------------------------------------
210
211The default driver for those controllers is now mrsas(4) due to reports
212of file system corruption using the mfi(4) driver. The whole issue (and
213how to deal with potential problems when switching) was explained here:
214
215http://lists.dragonflybsd.org/pipermail/users/2014-July/128703.html
216
217A tunable is provided for letting those controllers still attach via
218the mfi(4) driver, hw.mrsas.mfi_enable (see mrsas(4) manual page).
219
220OLDER NETWORK DRIVERS MOVED TO I386 ONLY
221----------------------------------------
222
223The following drivers have been made i386 only: ed(4), sr(4), ng_sync_ar
224and ng_sync_sr. ed(4) used to be in X86_64_GENERIC, so it has to be
225removed in kernel configs derived from X86_64_GENERIC.
226

228+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.6 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
229+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
230
231UPDATE FROM MOST RECENT 3.6
232---------------------------
233
234Versions of 3.6 built before June 25th have a bug where installworld might
235crash during installation of the new initrd.  Upgrade to the latest version
236of 3.6 before updating to 3.8 or later.
237
238ATM, IPX, NCP AND NWFS SUPPORT DROPPED
239--------------------------------------
240
241Support for the IPX and NCP network protocols and for mouting NetWare
242file systems has been dropped. Dito for ATM protocol support.
243
244INITRD IMAGES NOW INSTALLED BY DEFAULT
245--------------------------------------
246
247An initial ramdisk image is now installed in /boot/kernel/initrd.img.gz
248
249Older images installed under the file name of initrd.img will be removed
250automatically by the make upgrade process.
251
252USB4BSD IS NOW THE DEFAULT USB STACK
253------------------------------------
254
255To get back to the old stack, put "WANT_OLDUSB=yes" in /etc/make.conf and
256replace "device usb" with "device oldusb" in the kernel configuration.
257
258MORE ISA SUPPORT DROPPED
259------------------------
260
261ISA support has been dropped from the following drivers: adv(4), an(4),
262ar(4), cs(4), digi(4), ed(4), ep(4), ex(4), fe(4), lnc(4), sbni(4),
263si(4), sn(4), and stg(4).

268
269ABI CHANGE
270----------
271
272Installed third-party software (dports) will have to be rebuilt after upgrade,
273or reinstalled from binary packages.
274
275UPDATING FROM 3.4 TO 3.6
276------------------------
277
278This only applies for this specific upgrade due to locale changes; it is
279not needed for upgrades after 3.6.  Please update in this order:
280
281make buildworld
282make buildkernel
283make installworld
284make installkernel
285*reboot*
286make upgrade
287
288See this mailing list post for details:
289http://lists.dragonflybsd.org/pipermail/users/2013-September/090163.html
290
291CYRIX OPTIONS REMOVED
292---------------------
293
294The following Cyrix related options have been removed: CPU_BTB_EN,
295CPU_CYRIX_NO_LOCK, CPU_DIRECT_MAPPED_CACHE, CPU_DISABLE_5X86_LSSER,
296CPU_FASTER_5X86_FPU, CPU_IORT, CPU_LOOP_EN, CPU_RSTK_EN, CPU_SUSP_HLT,
297CYRIX_CACHE_WORKS, and CYRIX_CACHE_REALLY_WORKS
298
299ISA SUPPORT REMOVED FROM RP(4)
300------------------------------
301
302ISA support has been removed from the rp(4) driver. It is now PCI only.
303
304+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
305+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.2 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
306+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
307
308COMPAT_SUNOS OPTION REMOVED
309---------------------------
310
311The COMPAT_SUNOS option has been removed. It was meant to provide binary
312compatibility with SunOS 4.x for the sparc32 port of 4.4BSD.
313
314ISA SOUND CARD SUPPORT REMOVED
315------------------------------
316
317The following modules have been removed (all for ISA sound cards):
318snd_ad1816.ko, snd_ess.ko, snd_mss.ko, snd_sb8.ko, snd_sb16.ko, snd_sbc.ko
319
320GCC 4.7
321-------
322
323DragonFly has switched base compilers.  GCC 4.7 is now the default
324compiler and GCC 4.4 is the alternative compiler.  The "NO_GCC47" make
325variable ceases to work now.
326
327Users who wish to build only GCC 4.7 have to use NO_GCC44 in the
328/etc/make.conf to prohibit GCC 4.4 from building.  However, using it is
329highly discouraged.  There are a few packages in pkgsrc that do not build
330with GCC 4.7 and the new "DPorts" system uses GCC 4.4 by default.  At
331this time, it is recommended to keep both compilers on the base system.
332
333SMP OPTION REMOVED
334------------------
335
336The SMP kernel option has been made a no-op. All kernels now feature SMP
337support. If you have 'options SMP' in your kernel config, you can as well
338remove it.
339
340DEVICE_POLLING OPTION REPLACED BY IFPOLL_ENABLE OPTION, KTR_POLLING REMOVED
341---------------------------------------------------------------------------
342
343The DEVICE_POLLING kernel option has been made a no-op and it has been
344replaced by IFPOLL_ENABLE.  If you have 'options DEVICE_POLLING' in your
345kernel config, you need to change it to IFPOLL_ENABLE.
346
347Also, the KTR_POLLING kernel option has been removed, so it must be
348removed from kernel configs that have it.
349
350BUSLOGIC, CYCLADES AND STALLION ISA SUPPORT REMOVED
351---------------------------------------------------
352
353The bt(4) driver for Buslogic SCSI adapters has been made PCI only. ISA
354cards will no longer be detected.
355
356The same has been done for Stallion multiport serial controllers. stli(4)
357has been completely removed (along with the stlload(8) and stlstty(8)
358utilities) and stl(4) was changed to support only PCI cards. Similarly,
359ISA support was removed from cy(4) too. All these drivers are i386 only.
360
361COMPAT_OLDISA OPTION GONE
362-------------------------
363
364The i386 specific COMPAT_OLDISA kernel option has been removed, since
365nothing needs it anymore.
366
367+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
368+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.0 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
369+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
370
371APIC_IO OPTION REMOVED
372----------------------
373
374The APIC_IO kernel option is no longer accepted after having been without
375effect for a while. The hw.ioapic_enable tunable now serves its purpose.
376If you have 'options APIC_IO' in your kernel config, you'll have to
377remove it.
378
379WATCHDOG_ENABLE & HW_WDOG OPTIONS REMOVED
380-----------------------------------------
381
382The wdog framework is now compiled into our kernels by default, so the
383options are no longer needed.
384
385DOSCMD(1) REMOVED
386-----------------
387
388doscmd(1) has been removed. It was i386 only. The doscmd(1) specific
389NO_X make.conf option was removed too.
390
391GCC 4.7
392-------
393
394GCC 4.7 has been brought in and replaces GCC 4.1 as DragonFly's non-
395default compiler in base (default is still GCC 4.4).
396
397Users who wish to build only GCC 4.4 have to replace NO_GCC41 with
398NO_GCC47 in /etc/make.conf.
399
400USB4BSD
401-------
402
403A new USB stack (from FreeBSD) has been brought in. The following
404modules have been ported so far: usb, uhci, ohci, ehci, xhci, umass,
405usfs, uether, if_axe, if_udav, ukbd, ums, uep, uhid, usb_quirk,
406and uaudio.
407
408It is not yet the default. To activate it, WANT_USB4BSD=yes has to
409be put in make.conf and device "usb4bsd" (quotes needed) has to
410replace device usb in the kernel config. After that, a full
411build/install/upgrade cycle is needed.
412
413Note that this is experimental and incomplete, but we are interested
414in hearing about issues with it, of course.
415
416ISA SUPPORT REMOVED FROM AIC-6260/6360 DRIVER
417---------------------------------------------
418
419ISA adapter support was dropped from the aic(4) driver.

424
425SEVERAL ISA DRIVERS REMOVED
426---------------------------
427
428The following ISA only drivers have been removed along with a couple of
429associated userland tools:
430
431aha(4)
432asc(4) & sasc(1)
433ctx
434dgb(4)
435el(4)
436gpib
437gsc(4) & sgsc(1)
438ie(4)
439labpc(4)
440le(4)
441mse(4)
442rc(4)
443rdp(4)
444spigot
445tw(4) & xten(1) & xtend(8)
446wl(4) & wlconfig(8)
447wt(4)
448
449Note that two of these drivers (aha(4) and ie(4)) are in our GENERIC
450config and one (aha(4)) is in our X86_64_GENERIC kernel configuration
451file.
452
453If buildkernel complains about any of these drivers, just remove them
454from your kernel configuration.
455
456BINUTILS 2.20
457-------------
458Binutils 2.20 has been removed in favor of Binutils 2.22.  The accepted
459values of BINUTILSVERS are now binutils221 and binutils222 (default).
460
461BUILDWORLD/-KERNEL PARALLELIZATION WORK
462---------------------------------------
463Due to changes in the way we build with more than one make job, you
464will have to update install(1) and mkdir(1) prior to buildworld if you
465want to build with 'make -j':
466
467cd /usr/src/usr.bin/xinstall; make; make install; make clean
468cd /usr/src/bin/mkdir; make; make install; make clean
469
470DMA(8) UPGRADE
471--------------
472dma(8) has been upgraded to v0.7 which no longer supports the
473/etc/dma/virtusertable. Some of its functionality has been replaced
474with the MASQUERADE keyword and the EMAIL environment variable (see
475the dma(8) manual page).

479+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
480
481GCC 4.4 & BINUTILS 2.21
482-----------------------
483
484GCC 4.4 has been made DragonFly's default compiler and Binutils 2.21 has
485been made DragonFly's default Binutils.
486
487That means that any settings that set CCVER to 'gcc44' are not needed
488anymore. Instead, CCVER can be set to 'gcc41' to go back to using
489GCC 4.1.
490
491It also means that 'binutils221' as a value for BINUTILSVER has no
492effect anymore. 2.17 has been removed and 'binutils220' is available
493as an option.
494
495The NO_GCC44 option has been removed and will not affect the build
496anymore. There is now a NO_GCC41 option that will prevent GCC 4.1 from
497building in a similar fashion.
498
499Note that you must do a full buildworld/buildkernel for upgrading.
500
501pkg_radd settings
502-----------------
503
504The config file for pkg_radd has moved from /etc/settings.conf to
505/etc/pkg_radd.conf.  Save the contents of settings.conf before upgrading
506if this is needed.  This warning only applies if /etc/settings.conf
507exists.  pkg_radd will continue to work with defaults.

513
514OpenSSL
515--------
516
517OpenSSL has been upgraded, and SHLIB_MAJOR was bumped for libssh and libcrypto.
518This shouldn't break any 3rd-party software, but you'll need to recompile your
5193rd-party software if you want it to link against the new version of OpenSSL.
520
521Loader
522-------
523
524A new loader (dloader) has been added which better handles booting from
525multiple kernel/module versions.
526
527To upgrade (Only for this upgrade, for post 2.8 upgrades see GENERAL below)
528
529	cd /usr/src
530	make buildworld
531	make installworld
532	make upgrade
533	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
534	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
535
536Note that you must installworld and run the 'upgrade' target before
537installing the new kernel.
538
539BIND
540-----
541
542BIND has been removed from the base system.  The ldns and drill tools have
543been added for basic functionality.  Use 'drill' where you would normally
544use nslookup or dig, or install BIND from pkgsrc.  It's available as
545net/bind95, net/bind96, or net/bind97 as of this writing.
546
547This only affects older systems upgrading to 2.8.  New 2.8+ installs
548include BIND as a pkgsrc package.

551+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY ON AN EXISTING DRAGONFLY SYSTEM		+
552+				GENERAL					+
553+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
554
555Instructions on how to obtain and maintain DragonFly source code using git
556are in the development(7) manual page.
557
558To upgrade a DragonFly system from sources you run the following sequence:
559
560	cd /usr/src
561	make buildworld
562	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
563	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
564	make installworld
565
566You will also want to run the 'upgrade' target to upgrade your /etc and the
567rest of your system.  The upgrade target is aware of stale files created by
568older DragonFly installations and should delete them automatically.
569
570	make upgrade
571
572See the build(7) manual page for further information.
573
574Once you've done a full build of the world and kernel you can do incremental
575upgrades of either by using the 'quickworld' and 'quickkernel' targets
576instead of 'buildworld' and 'buildkernel'.  If you have any problems with
577the quick targets, try updating your repo first, and then a full buildworld
578and buildkernel as shown above, before asking for help.

581+         UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 2.0 TO DRAGONFLY >= 2.1		+
582+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
583
584In 2.1 kernel and modules has moved to boot directory.  For most cases
585this is handled automatically by 'make upgrade'.  A few cases needs manual
586intervention:
587
588 * When installing a kernel without first doing a make buildworld,
589   installworld and upgrade to the same DESTDIR as kernel:
590   make DESTDIR/boot directory and move kernel and modules into this boot
591   directory; also move kernel.old and modules.old.
592   Typical example is vkernel(7), use (no modules used):
593
594	cd /var/vkernel
595	mkdir boot
596	chflags noschg kernel
597	mv kernel kernel.old boot
598	chflags schg boot/kernel
599
600 * When using a boot-only partition, /boot/loader.rc needs to be edited:
601   delete occurrences of '/boot/'.
602   These occurences can normally be deleted in any case, see loader(8).

605+         UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 1.8 TO DRAGONFLY >= 1.9		+
606+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
607
608In 1.9 major changes to the disk management infrastructure have taken
609place.  make upgrade may not catch all of your disk devices in /dev,
610so after upgrading be sure to cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV <blah> where <blah>
611are all of your disk devices.  HOWEVER, from late 2.3 on we run devfs
612and MAKEDEV no longer exists.
613
614The biggest changes in 1.9 are:
615
616(1) That whole-slice devices such as da0s1 no longer share the same device
617    id as partition c devices such as da0s1c.
618
619(2) The whole-disk device (e.g. da0) is full raw access to the disk,
620    with no snooping or reserved sectors.  Consequently you cannot run
621    disklabel on this device.  Instead you must run disklabel on a
622    whole-slice device.
623
624(3) The 'compatibility' partitions now use slice 0 in the device name,
625    so instead of da0a you must specify da0s0a.  Also, as per (1) above,
626    accessing the disklabel for the compatibility partitions must be
627    done via slice 0 (da0s0).
628
629(4) Many device drivers that used to fake up labels, such as CD, ACD, VN,
630    and CCD now run through the disk management layer and are assigned
631    real disk management devices.   VN and CCD in particular do not usually
632    use a MBR and disklabels must be accessed through the compatibility
633    slice 0.  Your /etc/ccd.conf file still specifies 'ccd0', though, you
634    don't name it 'ccd0s0' in the config file.
635
636Generally speaking, you have to get used to running fdisk and disklabel on
637the correctly specified device names.  A lot of the wiggle, such as running
638disklabel on a partition, has been removed.

644> Kerberos IV
645-------------
646
647Kerberos IV (eBones) was removed from the tree, please consider moving to
648Kerberos 5 (Heimdal).
649
650> Package Management System
651---------------------------
652
653Starting with the 1.4 release, DragonFly uses NetBSD's pkgsrc package
654management system.  The necessary tools to build and maintain packages
655are provided in /usr/pkg/bin and /usr/pkg/sbin.  Make sure that these
656directories are in your PATH variable.
657
658In order to obtain a reasonably current snapshot of the pkgsrc tree, use
659the tarball from NetBSD:
660
661	fetch -o /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc.tar.gz
662	cd /usr; tar -xzf /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz; chown -R root:wheel pkgsrc
663
664This tree can then be kept up to date with cvs update:
665
666	cd /usr/pkgsrc; cvs up
667
668NOTE! If you upgraded from a pre-1.4 system to 1.4 or later, you need to
669build and install the pkgsrc bootstrap manually:
670
671	cd /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap
672	./bootstrap --pkgdbdir /var/db/pkg --prefix /usr/pkg

679
680The compatibility shims for the build environment have been removed, you
681have to update to DragonFly 1.2 release branch first.
682
683The default PAM configuration has moved from /etc/pam.conf to /etc/pam.d/.
684The existing configuration can be converted using /etc/pam.d/convert.sh.
685Entries in /etc/pam.d/ override entries in /etc/pam.conf. In addition
686the pam_skey.so module was retired, you have to remove it manually from
687your configuration, when you convert it.
688
689> Required user and group IDs when upgrading from either FreeBSD or DragonFly
690---------------------
691
692The following users may be missing from your password file.  Use vipw and
693add any that are missing:
694
695smmsp:*:25:25::0:0:Sendmail Submission User:/var/spool/clientmqueue:/sbin/nologin
696_pflogd:*:64:64::0:0:pflogd privsep user:/var/empty:/sbin/nologin
697

703_pflogd:*:64:

705
706> Upgrading to DragonFly from FreeBSD
707---------------------
708
709You can build the DragonFly world and DragonFly kernels on a FreeBSD-4.x or
710FreeBSD-5.x machine and then install DragonFly over FreeBSD, replacing
711FreeBSD.  Note that the DragonFly buildworld target does not try to reuse
712make depend information, it starts from scratch, so no pre-cleaning of the
713object hierarchy is necessary.
714
715	# get the CVS repository (it is placed in /home/dcvs, 500MB).
716	# Please use the -h option and a mirror site to pull the
717	# initial repository, but feel free to use the main repository
718	# machine to pull updates.
719	cvsup /usr/share/examples/cvsup/DragonFly-cvs-supfile
720	# install the source from the CVS hierarchy (remove preexisting
721	# FreeBSD src first) (500MB)
722	cd /usr
723	rm -rf src
724	cvs -R -d /home/dcvs checkout -P src
725
726	# build it (500MB used in /usr/obj)
727	#
728	cd /usr/src
729	make buildworld
730	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
731
732Once you have built DragonFly you have to install it over FreeBSD.  Since
733DragonFly does not track changes made by FreeBSD to its include file
734hierarchy and include file pollution can cause all sorts of unexpected
735compilation issues to come up, it is best to wipe your include hierarchy
736prior to installing DragonFly.  Note that you should not wipe any installed
737FreeBSD header files or binaries until after you have successfully completed
738the build steps above.
739
740	rm -rf /usr/include
741	mkdir /usr/include
742	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
743	make installworld
744
745Then you need to upgrade your system.  DragonFly's 'make upgrade' target
746will unconditionally upgrade the /etc files that sysops do not usually
747mess around with, such as the files in /etc/rc.d.  It will also remove any
748obsolete files such as utilities and manpages that have been removed from
749the system since the version you're coming from.  If you are unsure we
750recommend that you make a backup of at least your /etc before applying
751this step.  Note that DragonFly's RC system is basically RCNG from
752FreeBSD-5, but there are some differences in the contents of the RC files.
753
754	make upgrade
755
756NOTE! Never do a 'make upgrade' before 'make installworld' has been run.
757Doing so might leave your system in an unusable state.
758
759Finally we recommend that you do an 'ls -lta BLAH' for /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin,
760/usr/bin, and /usr/lib, and remove any stale files that you find.  Please
761report these files to the DragonFly developers so that they can be added to
762the 'upgrade' target.
