12+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.3 to later versions                +
13+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
14
15DEVICE_POLLING OPTION REPLACED BY IFPOLL_ENABLE OPTION
16------------------
17
18The DEVICE_POLLING kernel option has been made a no-op and it has been
19replaced by IFPOLL_ENABLE.  If you have 'options DEVICE_POLLING' in your
20kernel config, you need to change it to IFPOLL_ENABLE.
21
22+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
23+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.2 to later versions                +
24+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
25
26SMP OPTION REMOVED
27------------------
28
29The SMP kernel option has been made a no-op. All kernels now feature SMP
30support. If you have 'options SMP' in your kernel config, you can as well
31remove it.
32
33+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
34+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.0 to later versions                +
35+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
36
37APIC_IO OPTION REMOVED
38----------------------
39
40The APIC_IO kernel option is no longer accepted after having been without
41effect for a while. The hw.ioapic_enable tunable now serves its purpose.
42If you have 'options APIC_IO' in your kernel config, you'll have to
43remove it.
44
45WATCHDOG_ENABLE & HW_WDOG OPTIONS REMOVED
46-----------------------------------------
47
48The wdog framework is now compiled into our kernels by default, so the
49options are no longer needed.
50
51DOSCMD(1) REMOVED
52-----------------
53
54doscmd(1) has been removed. It was i386 only. The doscmd(1) specific
55NO_X make.conf option was removed too.
56
57GCC 4.7
58-------
59
60GCC 4.7 has been brought in and replaces GCC 4.1 as DragonFly's non-
61default compiler in base (default is still GCC 4.4).
62
63Users who wish to build only GCC 4.4 have to replace NO_GCC41 with
64NO_GCC47 in /etc/make.conf.
65
66USB4BSD
67-------
68
69A new USB stack (from FreeBSD) has been brought in. The following
70modules have been ported so far: usb, uhci, ohci, ehci, xhci, umass,
71usfs, uether, if_axe, if_udav, ukbd, ums, uep, uhid, usb_quirk,
72and uaudio.
73
74It is not yet the default. To activate it, WANT_USB4BSD=yes has to
75be put in make.conf and device "usb4bsd" (quotes needed) has to
76replace device usb in the kernel config. After that, a full
77build/install/upgrade cycle is needed.
78
79Note that this is experimental and incomplete, but we are interested
80in hearing about issues with it, of course.
81
82+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
83+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.10 to later versions               +
84+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
85
86SEVERAL ISA DRIVERS REMOVED
87---------------------------
88
89The following ISA only drivers have been removed along with a couple of
90associated userland tools:
91
92aha(4)
93asc(4) & sasc(1)
94ctx
95dgb(4)
96el(4)
97gpib
98gsc(4) & sgsc(1)
99ie(4)
100labpc(4)
101le(4)
102mse(4)
103rc(4)
104rdp(4)
105spigot
106tw(4) & xten(1) & xtend(8)
107wl(4) & wlconfig(8)
108wt(4)
109
110Note that two of these drivers (aha(4) and ie(4)) are in our GENERIC
111config and one (aha(4)) is in our X86_64_GENERIC kernel configuration
112file.
113
114If buildkernel complains about any of these drivers, just remove them
115from your kernel configuration.
116
117BINUTILS 2.20
118-------------
119Binutils 2.20 has been removed in favor of Binutils 2.22.  The accepted
120values of BINUTILSVERS are now binutils221 and binutils222 (default).
121
122BUILDWORLD/-KERNEL PARALLELIZATION WORK
123---------------------------------------
124Due to changes in the way we build with more than one make job, you
125will have to update install(1) and mkdir(1) prior to buildworld if you
126want to build with 'make -j':
127
128cd /usr/src/usr.bin/xinstall; make; make install; make clean
129cd /usr/src/bin/mkdir; make; make install; make clean
130
131DMA(8) UPGRADE
132--------------
133dma(8) has been upgraded to v0.7 which no longer supports the
134/etc/dma/virtusertable. Some of its functionality has been replaced
135with the MASQUERADE keyword and the EMAIL environment variable (see
136the dma(8) manual page).
137
138+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
139+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.8 to later versions                +
140+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
141
142GCC 4.4 & BINUTILS 2.21
143-----------------------
144
145GCC 4.4 has been made DragonFly's default compiler and Binutils 2.21 has
146been made DragonFly's default Binutils.
147
148That means that any settings that set CCVER to 'gcc44' are not needed
149anymore. Instead, CCVER can be set to 'gcc41' to go back to using
150GCC 4.1.
151
152It also means that 'binutils221' as a value for BINUTILSVER has no
153effect anymore. 2.17 has been removed and 'binutils220' is available
154as an option.
155
156The NO_GCC44 option has been removed and will not affect the build
157anymore. There is now a NO_GCC41 option that will prevent GCC 4.1 from
158building in a similar fashion.
159
160Note that you must do a full buildworld/buildkernel for upgrading.
161
162pkg_radd settings
163-----------------
164
165The config file for pkg_radd has moved from /etc/settings.conf to
166/etc/pkg_radd.conf.  Save the contents of settings.conf before upgrading
167if this is needed.  This warning only applies if /etc/settings.conf
168exists.  pkg_radd will continue to work with defaults.
169

172+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.6 to 2.8 or HEAD			+
173+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
174
175OpenSSL
176--------
177
178OpenSSL has been upgraded, and SHLIB_MAJOR was bumped for libssh and libcrypto.
179This shouldn't break any 3rd-party software, but you'll need to recompile your
1803rd-party software if you want it to link against the new version of OpenSSL.
181
182Loader
183-------
184
185A new loader (dloader) has been added which better handles booting from
186multiple kernel/module versions.
187
188To upgrade (Only for this upgrade, for post 2.8 upgrades see GENERAL below)
189
190	cd /usr/src
191	make buildworld
192	make installworld
193	make upgrade
194	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
195	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
196
197Note that you must installworld and run the 'upgrade' target before
198installing the new kernel.
199
200BIND
201-----
202
203BIND has been removed from the base system.  The ldns and drill tools have
204been added for basic functionality.  Use 'drill' where you would normally
205use nslookup or dig, or install BIND from pkgsrc.  It's available as
206net/bind95, net/bind96, or net/bind97 as of this writing.
207
208This only affects older systems upgrading to 2.8.  New 2.8+ installs
209include BIND as a pkgsrc package.
210
211+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
212+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY ON AN EXISTING DRAGONFLY SYSTEM		+
213+				GENERAL					+
214+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
215
216Instructions on how to obtain and maintain DragonFly source code using git
217are in the development(7) manual page.
218
219To upgrade a DragonFly system from sources you run the following sequence:
220
221	cd /usr/src
222	make buildworld
223	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
224	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
225	make installworld
226
227You will also want to run the 'upgrade' target to upgrade your /etc and the
228rest of your system.  The upgrade target is aware of stale files created by
229older DragonFly installations and should delete them automatically.
230
231	make upgrade
232
233See the build(7) manual page for further information.
234
235Once you've done a full build of the world and kernel you can do incremental
236upgrades of either by using the 'quickworld' and 'quickkernel' targets
237instead of 'buildworld' and 'buildkernel'.  If you have any problems with
238the quick targets, try updating your repo first, and then a full buildworld
239and buildkernel as shown above, before asking for help.
240
241+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
242+         UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 2.0 TO DRAGONFLY >= 2.1		+
243+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
244
245In 2.1 kernel and modules has moved to boot directory.  For most cases
246this is handled automatically by 'make upgrade'.  A few cases needs manual
247intervention:
248
249 * When installing a kernel without first doing a make buildworld,
250   installworld and upgrade to the same DESTDIR as kernel:
251   make DESTDIR/boot directory and move kernel and modules into this boot
252   directory; also move kernel.old and modules.old.
253   Typical example is vkernel(7), use (no modules used):
254
255	cd /var/vkernel
256	mkdir boot
257	chflags noschg kernel
258	mv kernel kernel.old boot
259	chflags schg boot/kernel
260
261 * When using a boot-only partition, /boot/loader.rc needs to be edited:
262   delete occurrences of '/boot/'.
263   These occurences can normally be deleted in any case, see loader(8).
264
265+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
266+         UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 1.8 TO DRAGONFLY >= 1.9		+
267+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
268
269In 1.9 major changes to the disk management infrastructure have taken
270place.  make upgrade may not catch all of your disk devices in /dev,
271so after upgrading be sure to cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV <blah> where <blah>
272are all of your disk devices.  HOWEVER, from late 2.3 on we run devfs
273and MAKEDEV no longer exists.
274
275The biggest changes in 1.9 are:
276
277(1) That whole-slice devices such as da0s1 no longer share the same device
278    id as partition c devices such as da0s1c.
279
280(2) The whole-disk device (e.g. da0) is full raw access to the disk,
281    with no snooping or reserved sectors.  Consequently you cannot run
282    disklabel on this device.  Instead you must run disklabel on a
283    whole-slice device.
284
285(3) The 'compatibility' partitions now use slice 0 in the device name,
286    so instead of da0a you must specify da0s0a.  Also, as per (1) above,
287    accessing the disklabel for the compatibility partitions must be
288    done via slice 0 (da0s0).
289
290(4) Many device drivers that used to fake up labels, such as CD, ACD, VN,
291    and CCD now run through the disk management layer and are assigned
292    real disk management devices.   VN and CCD in particular do not usually
293    use a MBR and disklabels must be accessed through the compatibility
294    slice 0.  Your /etc/ccd.conf file still specifies 'ccd0', though, you
295    don't name it 'ccd0s0' in the config file.
296
297Generally speaking, you have to get used to running fdisk and disklabel on
298the correctly specified device names.  A lot of the wiggle, such as running
299disklabel on a partition, has been removed.

302+         UPGRADING FROM OLDER VERSIONS OF DRAGONFLY OR FREEBSD		+
303+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
304
305> Kerberos IV
306-------------
307
308Kerberos IV (eBones) was removed from the tree, please consider moving to
309Kerberos 5 (Heimdal).
310
311> Package Management System
312---------------------------
313
314Starting with the 1.4 release, DragonFly uses NetBSD's pkgsrc package
315management system.  The necessary tools to build and maintain packages
316are provided in /usr/pkg/bin and /usr/pkg/sbin.  Make sure that these
317directories are in your PATH variable.
318
319In order to obtain a reasonably current snapshot of the pkgsrc tree, use
320the tarball from NetBSD:
321
322	fetch -o /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc.tar.gz
323	cd /usr; tar -xzf /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz; chown -R root:wheel pkgsrc
324
325This tree can then be kept up to date with cvs update:
326
327	cd /usr/pkgsrc; cvs up
328
329NOTE! If you upgraded from a pre-1.4 system to 1.4 or later, you need to
330build and install the pkgsrc bootstrap manually:
331
332	cd /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap
333	./bootstrap --pkgdbdir /var/db/pkg --prefix /usr/pkg

338+         DRAGONFLY 1.3+ (EITHER PREVIEW or HEAD)                       +
339+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
340
341The compatibility shims for the build environment have been removed, you
342have to update to DragonFly 1.2 release branch first.
343
344The default PAM configuration has moved from /etc/pam.conf to /etc/pam.d/.
345The existing configuration can be converted using /etc/pam.d/convert.sh.
346Entries in /etc/pam.d/ override entries in /etc/pam.conf. In addition
347the pam_skey.so module was retired, you have to remove it manually from
348your configuration, when you convert it.
349
350> Required user and group IDs when upgrading from either FreeBSD or DragonFly
351---------------------
352
353The following users may be missing from your password file.  Use vipw and
354add any that are missing:
355
356smmsp:*:25:25::0:0:Sendmail Submission User:/var/spool/clientmqueue:/sbin/nologin
357_pflogd:*:64:64::0:0:pflogd privsep user:/var/empty:/sbin/nologin
358
359The following groups may be missing from your group file.  Use vi /etc/group
360and add any that are missing:
361
362smmsp:*:25:
363authpf:*:63:
364_pflogd:*:64:
365
366
367> Upgrading to DragonFly from FreeBSD
368---------------------
369
370You can build the DragonFly world and DragonFly kernels on a FreeBSD-4.x or
371FreeBSD-5.x machine and then install DragonFly over FreeBSD, replacing
372FreeBSD.  Note that the DragonFly buildworld target does not try to reuse
373make depend information, it starts from scratch, so no pre-cleaning of the
374object hierarchy is necessary.
375
376	# get the CVS repository (it is placed in /home/dcvs, 500MB).
377	# Please use the -h option and a mirror site to pull the
378	# initial repository, but feel free to use the main repository
379	# machine to pull updates.
380	cvsup /usr/share/examples/cvsup/DragonFly-cvs-supfile
381	# install the source from the CVS hierarchy (remove preexisting
382	# FreeBSD src first) (500MB)
383	cd /usr
384	rm -rf src
385	cvs -R -d /home/dcvs checkout -P src
386
387	# build it (500MB used in /usr/obj)
388	#
389	cd /usr/src
390	make buildworld
391	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
392
393Once you have built DragonFly you have to install it over FreeBSD.  Since
394DragonFly does not track changes made by FreeBSD to its include file
395hierarchy and include file pollution can cause all sorts of unexpected
396compilation issues to come up, it is best to wipe your include hierarchy
397prior to installing DragonFly.  Note that you should not wipe any installed
398FreeBSD header files or binaries until after you have successfully completed
399the build steps above.
400
401	rm -rf /usr/include
402	mkdir /usr/include
403	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
404	make installworld
405
406Then you need to upgrade your system.  DragonFly's 'make upgrade' target
407will unconditionally upgrade the /etc files that sysops do not usually
408mess around with, such as the files in /etc/rc.d.  It will also remove any
409obsolete files such as utilities and manpages that have been removed from
410the system since the version you're coming from.  If you are unsure we
411recommend that you make a backup of at least your /etc before applying
412this step.  Note that DragonFly's RC system is basically RCNG from
413FreeBSD-5, but there are some differences in the contents of the RC files.
414
415	make upgrade
416
417NOTE! Never do a 'make upgrade' before 'make installworld' has been run.
418Doing so might leave your system in an unusable state.
419
420Finally we recommend that you do an 'ls -lta BLAH' for /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin,
421/usr/bin, and /usr/lib, and remove any stale files that you find.  Please
422report these files to the DragonFly developers so that they can be added to
423the 'upgrade' target.
424
425
