11+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
12+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 4.0 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
13+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
14
15BINUTILS 2.25 REPLACES 2.22, PRIMARY
16------------------------------------
17
18The oldest of the two versions of Binutils, version 2.22, was removed
19and replaced with Binutils 2.25.  It becomes the primary version version
20of binutils and version 2.24 becomes the alternate.  There are 8 current
21CVE written against 2.24, so for security reasons version 2.25 should
22always be used.
23
24The accepted values of BINUTILSVER are now "binutils225" (default) and
25"binutils224".  The building of Binutils 2.24 can be prevented by setting
26NO_ALTBINUTILS=yes in make.conf.
27
28LOADER OPTIONS CHANGED
29----------------------
30
31Right after the development branch started, the Fred art accompanying the
32loader menu was improved.  The line between Fred and the menu was removed
33by default (but can optionally be returned) and the placement shifted as
34a result.  The drawing was improved, and the colored version was improved,
35changing the eyes and wing color from white to red.  A new color version
36of Fred was added, one with a blue scheme.
37
38The loader menu defaults have changed since release 4.0:  The vertical
39line was removed, the loader is displayed in color by default*, and the
40blue scheme is used.
41
42The loader.conf changes are:
43loader_color:   option has been removed
44loader_plain:   option has been added, it changed menu to monochrome
45fred_is_red:    changes color scheme from blue to red
46fred_is_blue:   option existed only on 4.1, it has been removed
47fred_separated: Adds line between Fred and menu (as seen previously)
48
49* If loader.conf defines "console" as "comconsole" or "console" is defined
50  in the environment as "comconsole" then color will not be displayed,
51  even if loader_plain value is "NO".
52
53SENDMAIL REMOVED FROM BASE
54--------------------------
55
56The only Mail Transfer Agent provided now is DragonFly Mail Agent (dma).
57If the system being upgraded is still configured to use the sendmail
58binaries from base, the "make upgrade" command will fail.
59
60The administrator must change /etc/mail/mailer.conf to switch the
61mailwrapper to dma or a DPorts-based MTA prior to running the upgrade
62command that permanently removes sendmail executables and could
63potentially break a running mail server.
64
65Refer: http://www.dragonflybsd.com/docs/docs/newhandbook/mta/ for
66detailed instructions on how to configure the MTA selection.
67
68_KPOSIX_VERSION and P1003_1B OPTIONS REMOVED
69--------------------------------------------
70
71The _KPOSIX_VERSION and P1003_1B kernel options have been changed to
72no-ops. They can be removed from custom kernel configurations.
73
74SOUND SYSTEM UPDATED FROM FreeBSD 11-CURRENT
75--------------------------------------------
76
77Many more sound devices may be detected.
78
79If the default device choosen isn't to your liking, setting the sysctl
80hw.snd.default_unit to a different number will change it.
81
82SCTP SUPPORT DROPPED
83--------------------
84
85Support for the SCTP protocol has been removed.
86
87OLD USB DRIVERS REMOVED
88-----------------------
89
90The old USB stack, along with the kernel config option "device oldusb"
91and the make.conf variable "WANT_OLDUSB" have been removed. This means
92that for custom kernel configuration files which were derived from a
93GENERIC or X86_64_GENERIC file prior to making the usb4bsd stack default,
94various (old USB stack specific) devices will now complain about being
95unknown:
96
97  * oldusb	(obviously)
98  * natausb	(not yet ported to usb4bsd)
99  * rue		(not yet ported to usb4bsd)
100  * ugen	(no longer needed in usb4bsd)
101  * urio	(not yet ported to usb4bsd)
102  * uscanner	(no longer needed in usb4bsd)
103
104They should be removed or commented out in such custom kernel configs.
105
106GCC 5
107-----
108
109The GCC 4.4 compiler has been retired.  It has been replaced by a GCC 5.1.
110The following make.conf variables no longer work: NO_GCC44, NO_OBJC, and
111NO_CXX.  The latter was never documented and the latest versions of GCC are
112partially written in C++ so a C++ compiler is no longer optional.  In
113practical terms it has not been optional for many years as other base
114components are also written in C++.  The resource savings by avoiding
115building Objective-C compiler is so small, the complexity added by NO_OBJC
116internally was deemed a bad tradeoff so that is the reason for its removal.
117Also note that no "info" pages are installed with GCC 5.  After this entry
118was originally written, all info pages were removed from DragonFly.
119
120GCC 5.1 has been designated as the primary compiler.  As such, there is a
121new make.conf variable, NO_ALTCOMPILER.  It will block the rebuilding of
122the designated secondary compiler, GCC 4.7.  However, while DPorts
123primarily uses GCC 5 to build ports now, it still uses GCC 4.7 as well, so
124if building ports from source is desired, don't block building of the
125secondary compiler.
126
127+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
128+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.8 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
129+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
130
131SMP AND DEVICE_POLLING OPTIONS MADE UNKNOWN
132-------------------------------------------
133
134DEVICE_POLLING was replaced by IFPOLL_ENABLE and the former SMP code is
135the default now (even on single-core systems), both for, like, 21 months.
136We kept the options around as no-ops as a convenience, to allow people
137using the same config for the then current release and the then current
138master. That period is now over, so any configs still having those
139options have to be adjusted.
140
141SYSVIPC SYSCALLS MADE NON-OPTIONAL
142----------------------------------
143
144The code related to the SYSVMSG, SYSVSEM and SYSVSHM kernel options is
145now compiled in by default. The options are no-ops for now.
146
147DEFAULT DRIVER CHANGED FOR LSI "THUNDERBOLT" SERIES RAID CONTROLLERS
148--------------------------------------------------------------------
149
150The default driver for those controllers is now mrsas(4) due to reports
151of file system corruption using the mfi(4) driver. The whole issue (and
152how to deal with potential problems when switching) was explained here:
153
154http://lists.dragonflybsd.org/pipermail/users/2014-July/128703.html
155
156A tunable is provided for letting those controllers still attach via
157the mfi(4) driver, hw.mrsas.mfi_enable (see mrsas(4) manual page).
158
159OLDER NETWORK DRIVERS MOVED TO I386 ONLY
160----------------------------------------
161
162The following drivers have been made i386 only: ed(4), sr(4), ng_sync_ar
163and ng_sync_sr. ed(4) used to be in X86_64_GENERIC, so it has to be
164removed in kernel configs derived from X86_64_GENERIC.
165
166+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
167+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.6 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
168+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
169
170UPDATE FROM MOST RECENT 3.6
171---------------------------
172
173Versions of 3.6 built before June 25th have a bug where installworld might
174crash during installation of the new initrd.  Upgrade to the latest version
175of 3.6 before updating to 3.8 or later.
176
177ATM, IPX, NCP AND NWFS SUPPORT DROPPED
178--------------------------------------
179
180Support for the IPX and NCP network protocols and for mouting NetWare
181file systems has been dropped. Dito for ATM protocol support.
182
183INITRD IMAGES NOW INSTALLED BY DEFAULT
184--------------------------------------
185
186An initial ramdisk image is now installed in /boot/kernel/initrd.img.gz
187
188Older images installed under the file name of initrd.img will be removed
189automatically by the make upgrade process.
190
191USB4BSD IS NOW THE DEFAULT USB STACK
192------------------------------------
193
194To get back to the old stack, put "WANT_OLDUSB=yes" in /etc/make.conf and
195replace "device usb" with "device oldusb" in the kernel configuration.
196
197MORE ISA SUPPORT DROPPED
198------------------------
199
200ISA support has been dropped from the following drivers: adv(4), an(4),
201ar(4), cs(4), digi(4), ed(4), ep(4), ex(4), fe(4), lnc(4), sbni(4),
202si(4), sn(4), and stg(4).
203
204+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
205+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.4 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
206+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
207
208ABI CHANGE
209----------
210
211Installed third-party software (dports) will have to be rebuilt after upgrade,
212or reinstalled from binary packages.
213
214UPDATING FROM 3.4 TO 3.6
215------------------------
216
217This only applies for this specific upgrade due to locale changes; it is
218not needed for upgrades after 3.6.  Please update in this order:
219
220make buildworld
221make buildkernel
222make installworld
223make installkernel
224*reboot*
225make upgrade
226
227See this mailing list post for details:
228http://lists.dragonflybsd.org/pipermail/users/2013-September/090163.html
229
230CYRIX OPTIONS REMOVED
231---------------------
232
233The following Cyrix related options have been removed: CPU_BTB_EN,
234CPU_CYRIX_NO_LOCK, CPU_DIRECT_MAPPED_CACHE, CPU_DISABLE_5X86_LSSER,
235CPU_FASTER_5X86_FPU, CPU_IORT, CPU_LOOP_EN, CPU_RSTK_EN, CPU_SUSP_HLT,
236CYRIX_CACHE_WORKS, and CYRIX_CACHE_REALLY_WORKS
237
238ISA SUPPORT REMOVED FROM RP(4)
239------------------------------
240
241ISA support has been removed from the rp(4) driver. It is now PCI only.
242
243+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
244+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.2 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
245+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
246
247COMPAT_SUNOS OPTION REMOVED
248---------------------------
249
250The COMPAT_SUNOS option has been removed. It was meant to provide binary
251compatibility with SunOS 4.x for the sparc32 port of 4.4BSD.
252
253ISA SOUND CARD SUPPORT REMOVED
254------------------------------
255
256The following modules have been removed (all for ISA sound cards):
257snd_ad1816.ko, snd_ess.ko, snd_mss.ko, snd_sb8.ko, snd_sb16.ko, snd_sbc.ko
258
259GCC 4.7
260-------
261
262DragonFly has switched base compilers.  GCC 4.7 is now the default
263compiler and GCC 4.4 is the alternative compiler.  The "NO_GCC47" make
264variable ceases to work now.
265
266Users who wish to build only GCC 4.7 have to use NO_GCC44 in the
267/etc/make.conf to prohibit GCC 4.4 from building.  However, using it is
268highly discouraged.  There are a few packages in pkgsrc that do not build
269with GCC 4.7 and the new "DPorts" system uses GCC 4.4 by default.  At
270this time, it is recommended to keep both compilers on the base system.
271
272SMP OPTION REMOVED
273------------------
274
275The SMP kernel option has been made a no-op. All kernels now feature SMP
276support. If you have 'options SMP' in your kernel config, you can as well
277remove it.
278
279DEVICE_POLLING OPTION REPLACED BY IFPOLL_ENABLE OPTION, KTR_POLLING REMOVED
280---------------------------------------------------------------------------
281
282The DEVICE_POLLING kernel option has been made a no-op and it has been
283replaced by IFPOLL_ENABLE.  If you have 'options DEVICE_POLLING' in your
284kernel config, you need to change it to IFPOLL_ENABLE.
285
286Also, the KTR_POLLING kernel option has been removed, so it must be
287removed from kernel configs that have it.
288
289BUSLOGIC, CYCLADES AND STALLION ISA SUPPORT REMOVED
290---------------------------------------------------
291
292The bt(4) driver for Buslogic SCSI adapters has been made PCI only. ISA
293cards will no longer be detected.
294
295The same has been done for Stallion multiport serial controllers. stli(4)
296has been completely removed (along with the stlload(8) and stlstty(8)
297utilities) and stl(4) was changed to support only PCI cards. Similarly,
298ISA support was removed from cy(4) too. All these drivers are i386 only.
299
300COMPAT_OLDISA OPTION GONE
301-------------------------
302
303The i386 specific COMPAT_OLDISA kernel option has been removed, since
304nothing needs it anymore.
305
306+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
307+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.0 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
308+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
309
310APIC_IO OPTION REMOVED
311----------------------
312
313The APIC_IO kernel option is no longer accepted after having been without
314effect for a while. The hw.ioapic_enable tunable now serves its purpose.
315If you have 'options APIC_IO' in your kernel config, you'll have to
316remove it.
317
318WATCHDOG_ENABLE & HW_WDOG OPTIONS REMOVED
319-----------------------------------------
320
321The wdog framework is now compiled into our kernels by default, so the
322options are no longer needed.
323
324DOSCMD(1) REMOVED
325-----------------
326
327doscmd(1) has been removed. It was i386 only. The doscmd(1) specific
328NO_X make.conf option was removed too.
329
330GCC 4.7
331-------
332
333GCC 4.7 has been brought in and replaces GCC 4.1 as DragonFly's non-
334default compiler in base (default is still GCC 4.4).
335
336Users who wish to build only GCC 4.4 have to replace NO_GCC41 with
337NO_GCC47 in /etc/make.conf.
338
339USB4BSD
340-------
341
342A new USB stack (from FreeBSD) has been brought in. The following
343modules have been ported so far: usb, uhci, ohci, ehci, xhci, umass,
344usfs, uether, if_axe, if_udav, ukbd, ums, uep, uhid, usb_quirk,
345and uaudio.
346
347It is not yet the default. To activate it, WANT_USB4BSD=yes has to
348be put in make.conf and device "usb4bsd" (quotes needed) has to
349replace device usb in the kernel config. After that, a full
350build/install/upgrade cycle is needed.
351
352Note that this is experimental and incomplete, but we are interested
353in hearing about issues with it, of course.
354
355ISA SUPPORT REMOVED FROM AIC-6260/6360 DRIVER
356---------------------------------------------
357
358ISA adapter support was dropped from the aic(4) driver.
359
360+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
361+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.10 TO LATER VERSIONS               +
362+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
363
364SEVERAL ISA DRIVERS REMOVED
365---------------------------
366
367The following ISA only drivers have been removed along with a couple of
368associated userland tools:
369
370aha(4)
371asc(4) & sasc(1)
372ctx
373dgb(4)
374el(4)
375gpib
376gsc(4) & sgsc(1)
377ie(4)
378labpc(4)
379le(4)
380mse(4)
381rc(4)
382rdp(4)
383spigot
384tw(4) & xten(1) & xtend(8)
385wl(4) & wlconfig(8)
386wt(4)
387
388Note that two of these drivers (aha(4) and ie(4)) are in our GENERIC
389config and one (aha(4)) is in our X86_64_GENERIC kernel configuration
390file.
391
392If buildkernel complains about any of these drivers, just remove them
393from your kernel configuration.
394
395BINUTILS 2.20
396-------------
397Binutils 2.20 has been removed in favor of Binutils 2.22.  The accepted
398values of BINUTILSVERS are now binutils221 and binutils222 (default).
399
400BUILDWORLD/-KERNEL PARALLELIZATION WORK
401---------------------------------------
402Due to changes in the way we build with more than one make job, you
403will have to update install(1) and mkdir(1) prior to buildworld if you
404want to build with 'make -j':
405
406cd /usr/src/usr.bin/xinstall; make; make install; make clean
407cd /usr/src/bin/mkdir; make; make install; make clean
408
409DMA(8) UPGRADE
410--------------
411dma(8) has been upgraded to v0.7 which no longer supports the
412/etc/dma/virtusertable. Some of its functionality has been replaced
413with the MASQUERADE keyword and the EMAIL environment variable (see
414the dma(8) manual page).
415
416+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
417+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.8 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
418+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
419
420GCC 4.4 & BINUTILS 2.21
421-----------------------
422
423GCC 4.4 has been made DragonFly's default compiler and Binutils 2.21 has
424been made DragonFly's default Binutils.
425
426That means that any settings that set CCVER to 'gcc44' are not needed
427anymore. Instead, CCVER can be set to 'gcc41' to go back to using
428GCC 4.1.
429
430It also means that 'binutils221' as a value for BINUTILSVER has no
431effect anymore. 2.17 has been removed and 'binutils220' is available
432as an option.
433
434The NO_GCC44 option has been removed and will not affect the build
435anymore. There is now a NO_GCC41 option that will prevent GCC 4.1 from
436building in a similar fashion.
437
438Note that you must do a full buildworld/buildkernel for upgrading.
439
440pkg_radd settings
441-----------------
442
443The config file for pkg_radd has moved from /etc/settings.conf to
444/etc/pkg_radd.conf.  Save the contents of settings.conf before upgrading
445if this is needed.  This warning only applies if /etc/settings.conf
446exists.  pkg_radd will continue to work with defaults.
447
448+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
449+         20100927							+
450+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.6 to 2.8 or HEAD			+
451+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
452
453OpenSSL
454--------
455
456OpenSSL has been upgraded, and SHLIB_MAJOR was bumped for libssh and libcrypto.
457This shouldn't break any 3rd-party software, but you'll need to recompile your
4583rd-party software if you want it to link against the new version of OpenSSL.
459
460Loader
461-------
462
463A new loader (dloader) has been added which better handles booting from
464multiple kernel/module versions.
465
466To upgrade (Only for this upgrade, for post 2.8 upgrades see GENERAL below)
467
468	cd /usr/src
469	make buildworld
470	make installworld
471	make upgrade
472	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
473	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
474
475Note that you must installworld and run the 'upgrade' target before
476installing the new kernel.
477
478BIND
479-----
480
481BIND has been removed from the base system.  The ldns and drill tools have
482been added for basic functionality.  Use 'drill' where you would normally
483use nslookup or dig, or install BIND from pkgsrc.  It's available as
484net/bind95, net/bind96, or net/bind97 as of this writing.
485
486This only affects older systems upgrading to 2.8.  New 2.8+ installs
487include BIND as a pkgsrc package.
488
489+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
490+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY ON AN EXISTING DRAGONFLY SYSTEM		+
491+				GENERAL					+
492+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
493
494Instructions on how to obtain and maintain DragonFly source code using git
495are in the development(7) manual page.
496
497To upgrade a DragonFly system from sources you run the following sequence:
498
499	cd /usr/src
500	make buildworld
501	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
502	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
503	make installworld
504
505You will also want to run the 'upgrade' target to upgrade your /etc and the
506rest of your system.  The upgrade target is aware of stale files created by
507older DragonFly installations and should delete them automatically.
508
509	make upgrade
510
511See the build(7) manual page for further information.
512
513Once you've done a full build of the world and kernel you can do incremental
514upgrades of either by using the 'quickworld' and 'quickkernel' targets
515instead of 'buildworld' and 'buildkernel'.  If you have any problems with
516the quick targets, try updating your repo first, and then a full buildworld
517and buildkernel as shown above, before asking for help.
518
519+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
520+         UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 2.0 TO DRAGONFLY >= 2.1		+
521+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
522
523In 2.1 kernel and modules has moved to boot directory.  For most cases
524this is handled automatically by 'make upgrade'.  A few cases needs manual
525intervention:
526
527 * When installing a kernel without first doing a make buildworld,
528   installworld and upgrade to the same DESTDIR as kernel:
529   make DESTDIR/boot directory and move kernel and modules into this boot
530   directory; also move kernel.old and modules.old.
531   Typical example is vkernel(7), use (no modules used):
532
533	cd /var/vkernel
534	mkdir boot
535	chflags noschg kernel
536	mv kernel kernel.old boot
537	chflags schg boot/kernel
538
539 * When using a boot-only partition, /boot/loader.rc needs to be edited:
540   delete occurrences of '/boot/'.

544+         UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 1.8 TO DRAGONFLY >= 1.9		+
545+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
546
547In 1.9 major changes to the disk management infrastructure have taken
548place.  make upgrade may not catch all of your disk devices in /dev,
549so after upgrading be sure to cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV <blah> where <blah>
550are all of your disk devices.  HOWEVER, from late 2.3 on we run devfs
551and MAKEDEV no longer exists.
552
553The biggest changes in 1.9 are:
554
555(1) That whole-slice devices such as da0s1 no longer share the same device
556    id as partition c devices such as da0s1c.
557
558(2) The whole-disk device (e.g. da0) is full raw access to the disk,
559    with no snooping or reserved sectors.  Consequently you cannot run
560    disklabel on this device.  Instead you must run disklabel on a
561    whole-slice device.
562
563(3) The 'compatibility' partitions now use slice 0 in the device name,
564    so instead of da0a you must specify da0s0a.  Also, as per (1) above,
565    accessing the disklabel for the compatibility partitions must be
566    done via slice 0 (da0s0).
567
568(4) Many device drivers that used to fake up labels, such as CD, ACD, VN,
569    and CCD now run through the disk management layer and are assigned
570    real disk management devices.   VN and CCD in particular do not usually
571    use a MBR and disklabels must be accessed through the compatibility
572    slice 0.  Your /etc/ccd.conf file still specifies 'ccd0', though, you
573    don't name it 'ccd0s0' in the config file.
574
575Generally speaking, you have to get used to running fdisk and disklabel on
576the correctly specified device names.  A lot of the wiggle, such as running
577disklabel on a partition, has been removed.

583> Kerberos IV
584-------------
585
586Kerberos IV (eBones) was removed from the tree, please consider moving to
587Kerberos 5 (Heimdal).
588
589> Package Management System
590---------------------------
591
592Starting with the 1.4 release, DragonFly uses NetBSD's pkgsrc package
593management system.  The necessary tools to build and maintain packages
594are provided in /usr/pkg/bin and /usr/pkg/sbin.  Make sure that these
595directories are in your PATH variable.
596
597In order to obtain a reasonably current snapshot of the pkgsrc tree, use
598the tarball from NetBSD:
599
600	fetch -o /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc.tar.gz
601	cd /usr; tar -xzf /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz; chown -R root:wheel pkgsrc
602
603This tree can then be kept up to date with cvs update:
604
605	cd /usr/pkgsrc; cvs up
606
607NOTE! If you upgraded from a pre-1.4 system to 1.4 or later, you need to
608build and install the pkgsrc bootstrap manually:
609
610	cd /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap
611	./bootstrap --pkgdbdir /var/db/pkg --prefix /usr/pkg

617+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
618
619The compatibility shims for the build environment have been removed, you
620have to update to DragonFly 1.2 release branch first.
621
622The default PAM configuration has moved from /etc/pam.conf to /etc/pam.d/.
623The existing configuration can be converted using /etc/pam.d/convert.sh.
624Entries in /etc/pam.d/ override entries in /etc/pam.conf. In addition
625the pam_skey.so module was retired, you have to remove it manually from
626your configuration, when you convert it.
627
628> Required user and group IDs when upgrading from either FreeBSD or DragonFly
629---------------------
630
631The following users may be missing from your password file.  Use vipw and
632add any that are missing:
633
634smmsp:*:25:25::0:0:Sendmail Submission User:/var/spool/clientmqueue:/sbin/nologin
635_pflogd:*:64:64::0:0:pflogd privsep user:/var/empty:/sbin/nologin
636
637The following groups may be missing from your group file.  Use vi /etc/group
638and add any that are missing:
639
640smmsp:*:25:
641authpf:*:63:
642_pflogd:*:64:
643
644
645> Upgrading to DragonFly from FreeBSD
646---------------------
647
648You can build the DragonFly world and DragonFly kernels on a FreeBSD-4.x or
649FreeBSD-5.x machine and then install DragonFly over FreeBSD, replacing
650FreeBSD.  Note that the DragonFly buildworld target does not try to reuse
651make depend information, it starts from scratch, so no pre-cleaning of the
652object hierarchy is necessary.
653
654	# get the CVS repository (it is placed in /home/dcvs, 500MB).
655	# Please use the -h option and a mirror site to pull the
656	# initial repository, but feel free to use the main repository
657	# machine to pull updates.
658	cvsup /usr/share/examples/cvsup/DragonFly-cvs-supfile
659	# install the source from the CVS hierarchy (remove preexisting
660	# FreeBSD src first) (500MB)
661	cd /usr
662	rm -rf src
663	cvs -R -d /home/dcvs checkout -P src
664
665	# build it (500MB used in /usr/obj)
666	#
667	cd /usr/src
668	make buildworld
669	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
670
671Once you have built DragonFly you have to install it over FreeBSD.  Since
672DragonFly does not track changes made by FreeBSD to its include file
673hierarchy and include file pollution can cause all sorts of unexpected
674compilation issues to come up, it is best to wipe your include hierarchy
675prior to installing DragonFly.  Note that you should not wipe any installed
676FreeBSD header files or binaries until after you have successfully completed
677the build steps above.
678
679	rm -rf /usr/include
680	mkdir /usr/include
681	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
682	make installworld
683
684Then you need to upgrade your system.  DragonFly's 'make upgrade' target
685will unconditionally upgrade the /etc files that sysops do not usually
686mess around with, such as the files in /etc/rc.d.  It will also remove any
687obsolete files such as utilities and manpages that have been removed from
688the system since the version you're coming from.  If you are unsure we
689recommend that you make a backup of at least your /etc before applying
690this step.  Note that DragonFly's RC system is basically RCNG from
691FreeBSD-5, but there are some differences in the contents of the RC files.
692
693	make upgrade
694
695NOTE! Never do a 'make upgrade' before 'make installworld' has been run.
696Doing so might leave your system in an unusable state.
697
698Finally we recommend that you do an 'ls -lta BLAH' for /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin,
699/usr/bin, and /usr/lib, and remove any stale files that you find.  Please
700report these files to the DragonFly developers so that they can be added to
701the 'upgrade' target.
