13+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
14
15NDIS DRIVER REMOVED
16-------------------
17
18The ndis(4) driver has been removed. The NDISAPI kernel option has been
19made a no-op and will be removed at a later point in time. Users with a
20custom kernel configuration can remove this option from it now.

25
26BINUTILS 2.34 REPLACES 2.25, PRIMARY
27------------------------------------
28
29The oldest of the two versions of Binutils, version 2.25, was removed
30and replaced with Binutils 2.34.  It becomes the primary version of
31binutils and version 2.27 becomes the alternate.
32
33The accepted values of BINUTILSVER are now "binutils234" (default) and
34"binutils227".  The building of Binutils 2.27 can be prevented by setting
35NO_ALTBINUTILS=yes in make.conf
36
37LIBRADIUS AND LIBTACPLUS REMOVED
38--------------------------------
39
40Both libraries have been moved from base to DPorts net/ category.
41
42PAM_SSH MODULE REMOVED
43----------------------
44
45The pam_ssh(8) have been removed from base to DPorts security/pam_ssh.
46
47UTMP LEGACY API REMOVED
48-----------------------
49
50The legacy "utmp" API (getutent() and friends, utmp.h, etc.) has been
51removed, and we are now using the POSIX "utmpx" API (getutxent(),
52utmpx.h, etc.) only. The most visible change for users is that the
53/var/log/wtmp file will no longer be written to, just /var/log/wtmpx.
54The wtmpcvt(1) utility is provided to convert old wtmp format files to
55wtmpx.
56
57To not break old applications, the utmp symbols are still provided by
58libc as dummy functions that do nothing and always succeed.
59
60TIMED AND TIMEDC REMOVED
61------------------------
62
63timed(8) and timedc(8) have been removed because they are beyond
64obsolete for setting the time.
65
66LIBOPIE, LIBMD REMOVED
67----------------------
68
69Removal of OPIE requires /etc/pam.d/ configs to be updated.
70
71+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
72+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 5.4 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
73+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
74
75GCC50 REMOVED
76-------------
77
78The GCC50 compiler has been retired.  It has been replaced by a GCC80.
79The default alternative compiler has stayed the same - GCC47.
80
81
82PUFFS, PUTTER AND LIBREFUSE REMOVED
83-----------------------------------
84
85The puffs(4)/putter(4) subsystem has been removed, along with librefuse,
86libpuffs, and the mount_psshfs(8) utility. All of these have never been
87working correctly.
88
89FFS_ROOT OPTION REMOVED
90-----------------------
91
92The FFS_ROOT kernel configuration option has been finally removed, after
93having been a no-op since 4.9. That means users using a custom kernel
94configuration file that still contains it need to remove the option from
95that file.
96
97+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
98+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 5.2 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
99+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
100
101DIGI, RP AND SI DRIVERS REMOVED
102-------------------------------
103
104The digi(4), rp(4) and si(4) serial drivers have been removed. None of
105them were in our default kernel configuration file. The sicontrol(8)
106utility was removed, too.
107
108MKINITRD COMMAND REMOVED
109------------------------
110
111The mkinitrd(8) command is removed and its functionality is replaced by
112the new "initrd" make target.  After rebooting into the new world and
113verifying everything works, execute "make initrd" to upgrade the rescue
114tools and initrd image.
115
116IPSEC, IPSEC_ESP AND IPSEC_DEBUG REMOVED FROM VKERNEL64 CONFIG
117--------------------------------------------------------------
118
119IPsec has been removed from the system. Of our standard kernel
120configurations, only the virtual kernel one had it. People running
121vkernels with configuration files derived from our VKERNEL64 will
122have to remove these options manually.
123
124+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
125+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 5.0 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
126+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
127
128VIRTIO_PCI REMOVED FROM KERNEL CONFIG
129-------------------------------------
130
131The "device virtio_pci" line in X86_64_GENERIC has been removed. People
132with configuration files derived from it have to remove it manually.
133
134VARIOUS 'R' COMMANDS AND DAEMONS REMOVED
135----------------------------------------
136
137rcp(1), rlogin(1), rlogind(8), rsh(1) and rshd(8) have been removed.
138For those that still need them, there is the net/bsdrcmds port.
139
140VARIOUS FORMER OPTIONS REMOVED
141------------------------------
142
143Various former kernel configuration options which had been no-ops for
144some time were completely removed: SYSVMSG, SYSVSEM, SYSVSHM, P1003_1B,
145_KPOSIX_VERSION and DSCHED_FQ. Users that have any of these still in
146their kernel configuration files have to remove them.
147
148BOOTSTRAPPING LIMITED FROM PRE 4.4
149----------------------------------
150
151Upgrading to 5.1 and later versions now require at least 4.4 in
152preparations for upcoming base compilers updates.
153
154IF_PPP, PPPD, IF_FAITH, AND FAITHD REMOVED
155------------------------------------------
156
157if_ppp has been replaced by "user ppp", i.e. ppp(8) and tun(4). It had
158already been removed from our default kernel configuration before 5.0,
159so only people with custom configurations based on earlier X86_64_GENERIC
160will have to remove it manually.
161
162The faith(4) interface has been completely removed after it had also
163been removed from our default kernel configuration.
164
165+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
166+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 4.8 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
167+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
168
169FFS_ROOT OPTION DISABLED
170------------------------
171
172The FFS_ROOT option has been made a no-op and will be completely removed
173at some point in the future. Users with a custom kernel configuration
174can remove this option from it now.
175
176+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
177+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 4.6 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
178+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
179
180DSA OPENSSH KEYS DEPRECATED
181---------------------------
182
183Note that DSA OpenSSH keys were deprecated in the 4.6 to 4.8 release.
184If you are upgrading from a release older than 4.8 and use DSA OpenSSH
185keys, please update your private/public key pair or risk locking
186yourself out.
187
188AHC, AHD, AIC, NCV, NSP AND STG DRIVERS REMOVED
189-----------------------------------------------
190
191They were all in our X86_64_GENERIC kernel configuration file, along with
192the AHC_REG_PRETTY_PRINT and AHD_REG_PRETTY_PRINT options, so any custom
193configuration files derived from it need adjustment.
194
195PORTAL FILE SYSTEM REMOVED
196--------------------------
197
198It has been broken for a long time now.
199
200BINUTILS 2.27 REPLACES 2.24, PRIMARY
201------------------------------------
202
203The oldest of the two versions of Binutils, version 2.24, was removed
204and replaced with Binutils 2.27.  It becomes the primary version version
205of binutils and version 2.25 becomes the alternate.
206
207The accepted values of BINUTILSVER are now "binutils227" (default) and
208"binutils225".  The building of Binutils 2.25 can be prevented by setting
209NO_ALTBINUTILS=yes in make.conf.
210
211COMPAT_43 KERNEL OPTION REMOVED
212-------------------------------
213
214It was commented out in our default configs for several years now, but
215might still be present in custom configs created before Nov. 2011.
216
217OPENSSL REMOVED
218---------------
219
220OpenSSL has been removed from base and replaced with a private version of
221LibreSSL.  The previously installed OpenSSL libraries, headers, and man
222pages will remain on the system unless the "make upgrade" command is
223specifically instructed to remove them.  To do this, define
224REMOVE_OPENSSL_FILES for the upgrade command, e.g.
225"make upgrade REMOVE_OPENSSL_FILES=yes"
226
22728-Oct-2016: openssl has been replaced by ressl.  It is recommended that any
228stale OpenSSL files be removed to avoid configuration scripts from using
229the stale and potentially vulnerable version, but all binaries that are
230dynamically linked to the OpenSSL libraries should be rebuilt first to
231avoid breakage.
232
233OPENSSH HPN REMOVED
234-------------------
235
236It has become too cumbersome to maintain HPN patches in OpenSSH in base.
237To use OpenSSH in base remove HPN config, if you have added it.
238Check files below for HPN config, see a few lines below.
239  /etc/ssh/ssh_config, /etc/ssh/sshd_config, ~/.ssh/config
240sshd(8) will fail to start if HPN config is used.
241
242NOTE: HPN config in sshd_config will prohibit remote access to host using ssh.
243
244HPN config:
245HPNDisabled
246HPNBufferSize
247TcpRcvBuf
248TcpRcvBufPoll
249NoneEnabled
250NoneSwitch
251cipher MTR-AES-CTR
252cipher NONE
253
254OpenSSH HPN is a patch set to OpenSSH providing higher performance under some
255circumstances, especially for networking.
256If HPN functionality is needed, install security/openssh from dports.
257
258CS, EX AND VX DRIVERS REMOVED
259-----------------------------
260
261The cs(4), ex(4) and vx(4) drivers have been removed. They were very
262old and its doubtful they ever worked properly in x86_64 but they were
263in X86_64_GENERIC, so custom configurations derived from it have to be
264adjusted.
265
266+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
267+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 4.4 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
268+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
269
270AMD REMOVED
271-----------
272
273The am-utils automounter suite has been removed. It stopped working
274at some point and was never fixed. autofs(5) and the associated
275userland has been brought in from FreeBSD and replaces it.
276
277AN DRIVER REMOVED
278-----------------
279
280The an(4) driver has been removed. It was in the X86_64_GENERIC kernel
281config file, so any configurations derived from it have to be adjusted.
282
283/DEV/DRI GROUP CHANGED
284----------------------
285
286The default group assigned to /dev/dri entries has been changed
287from 'wheel' to 'video' with the id of '44'. If you want to have
288access to the dri devices please add yourself to the video group
289with:
290
291# pw groupmod video -m $USER
292

295+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
296
297DSCHED REMOVED
298--------------
299
300dsched(4) has been removed and one of its kernel options, DSCHED_FQ, was
301in our default kernel config file. So the DSCHED_FQ option has been turned
302into a no-op for now and can be removed from custom configurations.
303
304EST DRIVER REMOVED, COMPILE_ET AND LIBCOM_ERR TOO
305-------------------------------------------------
306
307The est(4) driver has been removed. All CPUs it supported (except one)
308were 32 bits only. Those who are still using the Core 2 Duo T7500 should
309report back if there are any issues with this CPU and our regular ACPI
310P-state support.
311
312Also, compile_et(1) and com_err(3) have been removed as well. They
313should have been removed along with kerberos support, back in 2009.
314
315SEVERAL LOCALES RENAMED
316-----------------------
317
318Several locales were using obsolete and misleading names, and thus have
319been adjusted to current standards. Any users of the following locales
320need to select alternates:
321
322DFLY 4.2 locale            DFLY 4.4 alterative locale

345BINUTILS 2.25 REPLACES 2.22, PRIMARY
346------------------------------------
347
348The oldest of the two versions of Binutils, version 2.22, was removed
349and replaced with Binutils 2.25.  It becomes the primary version version
350of binutils and version 2.24 becomes the alternate.  There are 8 current
351CVE written against 2.24, so for security reasons version 2.25 should
352always be used.
353
354The accepted values of BINUTILSVER are now "binutils225" (default) and
355"binutils224".  The building of Binutils 2.24 can be prevented by setting
356NO_ALTBINUTILS=yes in make.conf.
357
358LOADER OPTIONS CHANGED
359----------------------
360
361Right after the development branch started, the Fred art accompanying the
362loader menu was improved.  The line between Fred and the menu was removed
363by default (but can optionally be returned) and the placement shifted as
364a result.  The drawing was improved, and the colored version was improved,
365changing the eyes and wing color from white to red.  A new color version
366of Fred was added, one with a blue scheme.
367
368The loader menu defaults have changed since release 4.0:  The vertical
369line was removed, the loader is displayed in color by default*, and the
370blue scheme is used.
371
372The loader.conf changes are:
373loader_color:   option has been removed
374loader_plain:   option has been added, it changed menu to monochrome
375fred_is_red:    changes color scheme from blue to red
376fred_is_blue:   option existed only on 4.1, it has been removed
377fred_separated: Adds line between Fred and menu (as seen previously)
378
379* If loader.conf defines "console" as "comconsole" or "console" is defined
380  in the environment as "comconsole" then color will not be displayed,
381  even if loader_plain value is "NO".
382
383SENDMAIL REMOVED FROM BASE
384--------------------------
385
386The only Mail Transfer Agent provided now is DragonFly Mail Agent (dma).
387If the system being upgraded is still configured to use the sendmail
388binaries from base, the "make upgrade" command will fail.
389
390The administrator must change /etc/mail/mailer.conf to switch the
391mailwrapper to dma or a DPorts-based MTA prior to running the upgrade
392command that permanently removes sendmail executables and could
393potentially break a running mail server.
394
395Refer: http://www.dragonflybsd.com/docs/docs/newhandbook/mta/ for
396detailed instructions on how to configure the MTA selection.
397
398_KPOSIX_VERSION and P1003_1B OPTIONS REMOVED
399--------------------------------------------
400
401The _KPOSIX_VERSION and P1003_1B kernel options have been changed to
402no-ops. They can be removed from custom kernel configurations.
403
404SOUND SYSTEM UPDATED FROM FreeBSD 11-CURRENT
405--------------------------------------------
406
407Many more sound devices may be detected.
408
409If the default device chosen isn't to your liking, setting the sysctl
410hw.snd.default_unit to a different number will change it.
411
412SCTP SUPPORT DROPPED
413--------------------
414
415Support for the SCTP protocol has been removed.
416
417OLD USB DRIVERS REMOVED
418-----------------------
419
420The old USB stack, along with the kernel config option "device oldusb"
421and the make.conf variable "WANT_OLDUSB" have been removed. This means
422that for custom kernel configuration files which were derived from a
423GENERIC or X86_64_GENERIC file prior to making the usb4bsd stack default,
424various (old USB stack specific) devices will now complain about being
425unknown:
426
427  * oldusb	(obviously)
428  * natausb	(not yet ported to usb4bsd)
429  * rue		(not yet ported to usb4bsd)
430  * ugen	(no longer needed in usb4bsd)
431  * urio	(not yet ported to usb4bsd)
432  * uscanner	(no longer needed in usb4bsd)
433
434They should be removed or commented out in such custom kernel configs.
435
436GCC 5
437-----
438
439The GCC 4.4 compiler has been retired.  It has been replaced by a GCC 5.1.
440The following make.conf variables no longer work: NO_GCC44, NO_OBJC, and
441NO_CXX.  The latter was never documented and the latest versions of GCC are
442partially written in C++ so a C++ compiler is no longer optional.  In
443practical terms it has not been optional for many years as other base
444components are also written in C++.  The resource savings by avoiding
445building Objective-C compiler is so small, the complexity added by NO_OBJC
446internally was deemed a bad tradeoff so that is the reason for its removal.
447Also note that no "info" pages are installed with GCC 5.  After this entry
448was originally written, all info pages were removed from DragonFly.
449
450GCC 5.1 has been designated as the primary compiler.  As such, there is a
451new make.conf variable, NO_ALTCOMPILER.  It will block the rebuilding of
452the designated secondary compiler, GCC 4.7.  However, while DPorts
453primarily uses GCC 5 to build ports now, it still uses GCC 4.7 as well, so
454if building ports from source is desired, don't block building of the
455secondary compiler.

460
461SMP AND DEVICE_POLLING OPTIONS MADE UNKNOWN
462-------------------------------------------
463
464DEVICE_POLLING was replaced by IFPOLL_ENABLE and the former SMP code is
465the default now (even on single-core systems), both for, like, 21 months.
466We kept the options around as no-ops as a convenience, to allow people
467using the same config for the then current release and the then current
468master. That period is now over, so any configs still having those
469options have to be adjusted.
470
471SYSVIPC SYSCALLS MADE NON-OPTIONAL
472----------------------------------
473
474The code related to the SYSVMSG, SYSVSEM and SYSVSHM kernel options is
475now compiled in by default. The options are no-ops for now.
476
477DEFAULT DRIVER CHANGED FOR LSI "THUNDERBOLT" SERIES RAID CONTROLLERS
478--------------------------------------------------------------------
479
480The default driver for those controllers is now mrsas(4) due to reports
481of file system corruption using the mfi(4) driver. The whole issue (and
482how to deal with potential problems when switching) was explained here:
483
484http://lists.dragonflybsd.org/pipermail/users/2014-July/128703.html
485
486A tunable is provided for letting those controllers still attach via
487the mfi(4) driver, hw.mrsas.mfi_enable (see mrsas(4) manual page).
488
489OLDER NETWORK DRIVERS MOVED TO I386 ONLY
490----------------------------------------
491
492The following drivers have been made i386 only: ed(4), sr(4), ng_sync_ar
493and ng_sync_sr. ed(4) used to be in X86_64_GENERIC, so it has to be
494removed in kernel configs derived from X86_64_GENERIC.

500UPDATE FROM MOST RECENT 3.6
501---------------------------
502
503Versions of 3.6 built before June 25th have a bug where installworld might
504crash during installation of the new initrd.  Upgrade to the latest version
505of 3.6 before updating to 3.8 or later.
506
507ATM, IPX, NCP AND NWFS SUPPORT DROPPED
508--------------------------------------
509
510Support for the IPX and NCP network protocols and for mouting NetWare
511file systems has been dropped. Dito for ATM protocol support.
512
513INITRD IMAGES NOW INSTALLED BY DEFAULT
514--------------------------------------
515
516An initial ramdisk image is now installed in /boot/kernel/initrd.img.gz
517
518Older images installed under the file name of initrd.img will be removed
519automatically by the make upgrade process.
520
521USB4BSD IS NOW THE DEFAULT USB STACK
522------------------------------------
523
524To get back to the old stack, put "WANT_OLDUSB=yes" in /etc/make.conf and
525replace "device usb" with "device oldusb" in the kernel configuration.
526
527MORE ISA SUPPORT DROPPED
528------------------------
529
530ISA support has been dropped from the following drivers: adv(4), an(4),
531ar(4), cs(4), digi(4), ed(4), ep(4), ex(4), fe(4), lnc(4), sbni(4),
532si(4), sn(4), and stg(4).

537
538ABI CHANGE
539----------
540
541Installed third-party software (dports) will have to be rebuilt after upgrade,
542or reinstalled from binary packages.
543
544UPDATING FROM 3.4 TO 3.6
545------------------------
546
547This only applies for this specific upgrade due to locale changes; it is
548not needed for upgrades after 3.6.  Please update in this order:
549
550make buildworld
551make buildkernel
552make installworld
553make installkernel
554*reboot*

559
560CYRIX OPTIONS REMOVED
561---------------------
562
563The following Cyrix related options have been removed: CPU_BTB_EN,
564CPU_CYRIX_NO_LOCK, CPU_DIRECT_MAPPED_CACHE, CPU_DISABLE_5X86_LSSER,
565CPU_FASTER_5X86_FPU, CPU_IORT, CPU_LOOP_EN, CPU_RSTK_EN, CPU_SUSP_HLT,
566CYRIX_CACHE_WORKS, and CYRIX_CACHE_REALLY_WORKS
567
568ISA SUPPORT REMOVED FROM RP(4)
569------------------------------
570
571ISA support has been removed from the rp(4) driver. It is now PCI only.
572
573+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
574+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.2 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
575+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
576
577COMPAT_SUNOS OPTION REMOVED
578---------------------------
579
580The COMPAT_SUNOS option has been removed. It was meant to provide binary
581compatibility with SunOS 4.x for the sparc32 port of 4.4BSD.
582
583ISA SOUND CARD SUPPORT REMOVED
584------------------------------
585
586The following modules have been removed (all for ISA sound cards):
587snd_ad1816.ko, snd_ess.ko, snd_mss.ko, snd_sb8.ko, snd_sb16.ko, snd_sbc.ko
588
589GCC 4.7
590-------
591
592DragonFly has switched base compilers.  GCC 4.7 is now the default
593compiler and GCC 4.4 is the alternative compiler.  The "NO_GCC47" make
594variable ceases to work now.
595
596Users who wish to build only GCC 4.7 have to use NO_GCC44 in the
597/etc/make.conf to prohibit GCC 4.4 from building.  However, using it is
598highly discouraged.  There are a few packages in pkgsrc that do not build
599with GCC 4.7 and the new "DPorts" system uses GCC 4.4 by default.  At
600this time, it is recommended to keep both compilers on the base system.
601
602SMP OPTION REMOVED
603------------------
604
605The SMP kernel option has been made a no-op. All kernels now feature SMP
606support. If you have 'options SMP' in your kernel config, you can as well
607remove it.
608
609DEVICE_POLLING OPTION REPLACED BY IFPOLL_ENABLE OPTION, KTR_POLLING REMOVED
610---------------------------------------------------------------------------
611
612The DEVICE_POLLING kernel option has been made a no-op and it has been
613replaced by IFPOLL_ENABLE.  If you have 'options DEVICE_POLLING' in your
614kernel config, you need to change it to IFPOLL_ENABLE.
615
616Also, the KTR_POLLING kernel option has been removed, so it must be
617removed from kernel configs that have it.
618
619BUSLOGIC, CYCLADES AND STALLION ISA SUPPORT REMOVED
620---------------------------------------------------
621
622The bt(4) driver for Buslogic SCSI adapters has been made PCI only. ISA
623cards will no longer be detected.
624
625The same has been done for Stallion multiport serial controllers. stli(4)
626has been completely removed (along with the stlload(8) and stlstty(8)
627utilities) and stl(4) was changed to support only PCI cards. Similarly,
628ISA support was removed from cy(4) too. All these drivers are i386 only.
629
630COMPAT_OLDISA OPTION GONE
631-------------------------
632
633The i386 specific COMPAT_OLDISA kernel option has been removed, since
634nothing needs it anymore.
635
636+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
637+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.0 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
638+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
639
640APIC_IO OPTION REMOVED
641----------------------
642
643The APIC_IO kernel option is no longer accepted after having been without
644effect for a while. The hw.ioapic_enable tunable now serves its purpose.
645If you have 'options APIC_IO' in your kernel config, you'll have to
646remove it.
647
648WATCHDOG_ENABLE & HW_WDOG OPTIONS REMOVED
649-----------------------------------------
650
651The wdog framework is now compiled into our kernels by default, so the
652options are no longer needed.
653
654DOSCMD(1) REMOVED
655-----------------
656
657doscmd(1) has been removed. It was i386 only. The doscmd(1) specific
658NO_X make.conf option was removed too.
659
660GCC 4.7
661-------
662
663GCC 4.7 has been brought in and replaces GCC 4.1 as DragonFly's non-
664default compiler in base (default is still GCC 4.4).
665
666Users who wish to build only GCC 4.4 have to replace NO_GCC41 with
667NO_GCC47 in /etc/make.conf.
668
669USB4BSD
670-------
671
672A new USB stack (from FreeBSD) has been brought in. The following
673modules have been ported so far: usb, uhci, ohci, ehci, xhci, umass,
674usfs, uether, if_axe, if_udav, ukbd, ums, uep, uhid, usb_quirk,
675and uaudio.
676
677It is not yet the default. To activate it, WANT_USB4BSD=yes has to
678be put in make.conf and device "usb4bsd" (quotes needed) has to
679replace device usb in the kernel config. After that, a full
680build/install/upgrade cycle is needed.
681
682Note that this is experimental and incomplete, but we are interested
683in hearing about issues with it, of course.
684
685ISA SUPPORT REMOVED FROM AIC-6260/6360 DRIVER
686---------------------------------------------
687
688ISA adapter support was dropped from the aic(4) driver.

692+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
693
694SEVERAL ISA DRIVERS REMOVED
695---------------------------
696
697The following ISA only drivers have been removed along with a couple of
698associated userland tools:
699
700aha(4)
701asc(4) & sasc(1)
702ctx
703dgb(4)
704el(4)
705gpib
706gsc(4) & sgsc(1)
707ie(4)
708labpc(4)
709le(4)
710mse(4)
711rc(4)
712rdp(4)
713spigot
714tw(4) & xten(1) & xtend(8)
715wl(4) & wlconfig(8)
716wt(4)
717
718Note that two of these drivers (aha(4) and ie(4)) are in our GENERIC
719config and one (aha(4)) is in our X86_64_GENERIC kernel configuration
720file.
721
722If buildkernel complains about any of these drivers, just remove them
723from your kernel configuration.
724
725BINUTILS 2.20
726-------------
727Binutils 2.20 has been removed in favor of Binutils 2.22.  The accepted
728values of BINUTILSVERS are now binutils221 and binutils222 (default).
729
730BUILDWORLD/-KERNEL PARALLELIZATION WORK
731---------------------------------------
732Due to changes in the way we build with more than one make job, you
733will have to update install(1) and mkdir(1) prior to buildworld if you
734want to build with 'make -j':
735
736cd /usr/src/usr.bin/xinstall; make; make install; make clean
737cd /usr/src/bin/mkdir; make; make install; make clean
738
739DMA(8) UPGRADE
740--------------
741dma(8) has been upgraded to v0.7 which no longer supports the
742/etc/dma/virtusertable. Some of its functionality has been replaced
743with the MASQUERADE keyword and the EMAIL environment variable (see
744the dma(8) manual page).
745
746+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
747+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.8 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
748+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
749
750GCC 4.4 & BINUTILS 2.21
751-----------------------
752
753GCC 4.4 has been made DragonFly's default compiler and Binutils 2.21 has
754been made DragonFly's default Binutils.
755
756That means that any settings that set CCVER to 'gcc44' are not needed
757anymore. Instead, CCVER can be set to 'gcc41' to go back to using
758GCC 4.1.
759
760It also means that 'binutils221' as a value for BINUTILSVER has no
761effect anymore. 2.17 has been removed and 'binutils220' is available
762as an option.
763
764The NO_GCC44 option has been removed and will not affect the build
765anymore. There is now a NO_GCC41 option that will prevent GCC 4.1 from
766building in a similar fashion.
767
768Note that you must do a full buildworld/buildkernel for upgrading.
769
770pkg_radd settings
771-----------------
772
773The config file for pkg_radd has moved from /etc/settings.conf to
774/etc/pkg_radd.conf.  Save the contents of settings.conf before upgrading
775if this is needed.  This warning only applies if /etc/settings.conf
776exists.  pkg_radd will continue to work with defaults.

783OpenSSL
784--------
785
786OpenSSL has been upgraded, and SHLIB_MAJOR was bumped for libssh and libcrypto.
787This shouldn't break any 3rd-party software, but you'll need to recompile your
7883rd-party software if you want it to link against the new version of OpenSSL.
789
790Loader
791-------
792
793A new loader (dloader) has been added which better handles booting from
794multiple kernel/module versions.
795
796To upgrade (Only for this upgrade, for post 2.8 upgrades see GENERAL below)
797
798	cd /usr/src
799	make buildworld
800	make installworld
801	make upgrade
802	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
803	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
804
805Note that you must installworld and run the 'upgrade' target before
806installing the new kernel.
807
808BIND
809-----
810
811BIND has been removed from the base system.  The ldns and drill tools have
812been added for basic functionality.  Use 'drill' where you would normally
813use nslookup or dig, or install BIND from pkgsrc.  It's available as
814net/bind95, net/bind96, or net/bind97 as of this writing.
815
816This only affects older systems upgrading to 2.8.  New 2.8+ installs
817include BIND as a pkgsrc package.
818
819+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
820+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY ON AN EXISTING DRAGONFLY SYSTEM		+
821+				GENERAL					+
822+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
823
824Instructions on how to obtain and maintain DragonFly source code using git
825are in the development(7) manual page.
826
827To upgrade a DragonFly system from sources you run the following sequence:
828
829	cd /usr/src
830	make buildworld
831	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
832	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
833	make installworld
834
835You will also want to run the 'upgrade' target to upgrade your /etc and the
836rest of your system.  The upgrade target is aware of stale files created by
837older DragonFly installations and should delete them automatically.
838
839	make upgrade
840
841See the build(7) manual page for further information.
842
843Once you've done a full build of the world and kernel you can do incremental
844upgrades of either by using the 'quickworld' and 'quickkernel' targets
845instead of 'buildworld' and 'buildkernel'.  If you have any problems with
846the quick targets, try updating your repo first, and then a full buildworld
847and buildkernel as shown above, before asking for help.
848
849+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
850+         UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 2.0 TO DRAGONFLY >= 2.1		+
851+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
852
853In 2.1 kernel and modules has moved to boot directory.  For most cases
854this is handled automatically by 'make upgrade'.  A few cases needs manual
855intervention:
856
857 * When installing a kernel without first doing a make buildworld,
858   installworld and upgrade to the same DESTDIR as kernel:
859   make DESTDIR/boot directory and move kernel and modules into this boot
860   directory; also move kernel.old and modules.old.
861   Typical example is vkernel(7), use (no modules used):
862
863	cd /var/vkernel
864	mkdir boot
865	chflags noschg kernel
866	mv kernel kernel.old boot
867	chflags schg boot/kernel
868
869 * When using a boot-only partition, /boot/loader.rc needs to be edited:
870   delete occurrences of '/boot/'.
871   These occurrences can normally be deleted in any case, see loader(8).
872
873+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
874+         UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 1.8 TO DRAGONFLY >= 1.9		+
875+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
876
877In 1.9 major changes to the disk management infrastructure have taken
878place.  make upgrade may not catch all of your disk devices in /dev,
879so after upgrading be sure to cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV <blah> where <blah>
880are all of your disk devices.  HOWEVER, from late 2.3 on we run devfs
881and MAKEDEV no longer exists.
882
883The biggest changes in 1.9 are:
884
885(1) That whole-slice devices such as da0s1 no longer share the same device
886    id as partition c devices such as da0s1c.
887
888(2) The whole-disk device (e.g. da0) is full raw access to the disk,
889    with no snooping or reserved sectors.  Consequently you cannot run
890    disklabel on this device.  Instead you must run disklabel on a
891    whole-slice device.
892
893(3) The 'compatibility' partitions now use slice 0 in the device name,
894    so instead of da0a you must specify da0s0a.  Also, as per (1) above,
895    accessing the disklabel for the compatibility partitions must be
896    done via slice 0 (da0s0).
897
898(4) Many device drivers that used to fake up labels, such as CD, ACD, VN,
899    and CCD now run through the disk management layer and are assigned
900    real disk management devices.   VN and CCD in particular do not usually
901    use a MBR and disklabels must be accessed through the compatibility
902    slice 0.  Your /etc/ccd.conf file still specifies 'ccd0', though, you
903    don't name it 'ccd0s0' in the config file.
904
905Generally speaking, you have to get used to running fdisk and disklabel on
906the correctly specified device names.  A lot of the wiggle, such as running
907disklabel on a partition, has been removed.

913> Kerberos IV
914-------------
915
916Kerberos IV (eBones) was removed from the tree, please consider moving to
917Kerberos 5 (Heimdal).
918
919> Package Management System
920---------------------------
921
922Starting with the 1.4 release, DragonFly uses NetBSD's pkgsrc package
923management system.  The necessary tools to build and maintain packages
924are provided in /usr/pkg/bin and /usr/pkg/sbin.  Make sure that these
925directories are in your PATH variable.
926
927In order to obtain a reasonably current snapshot of the pkgsrc tree, use
928the tarball from NetBSD:
929
930	fetch -o /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc.tar.gz
931	cd /usr; tar -xzf /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz; chown -R root:wheel pkgsrc
932
933This tree can then be kept up to date with cvs update:
934
935	cd /usr/pkgsrc; cvs up
936
937NOTE! If you upgraded from a pre-1.4 system to 1.4 or later, you need to
938build and install the pkgsrc bootstrap manually:
939
940	cd /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap
941	./bootstrap --pkgdbdir /var/db/pkg --prefix /usr/pkg

947+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
948
949The compatibility shims for the build environment have been removed, you
950have to update to DragonFly 1.2 release branch first.
951
952The default PAM configuration has moved from /etc/pam.conf to /etc/pam.d/.
953The existing configuration can be converted using /etc/pam.d/convert.sh.
954Entries in /etc/pam.d/ override entries in /etc/pam.conf. In addition
955the pam_skey.so module was retired, you have to remove it manually from
956your configuration, when you convert it.
957
958> Required user and group IDs when upgrading from either FreeBSD or DragonFly
959---------------------
960
961The following users may be missing from your password file.  Use vipw and
962add any that are missing:
963
964smmsp:*:25:25::0:0:Sendmail Submission User:/var/spool/clientmqueue:/sbin/nologin
965_pflogd:*:64:64::0:0:pflogd privsep user:/var/empty:/sbin/nologin
966
967The following groups may be missing from your group file.  Use vi /etc/group
968and add any that are missing:
969
970smmsp:*:25:
971authpf:*:63:
972_pflogd:*:64:
973
974
975> Upgrading to DragonFly from FreeBSD
976---------------------
977
978You can build the DragonFly world and DragonFly kernels on a FreeBSD-4.x or
979FreeBSD-5.x machine and then install DragonFly over FreeBSD, replacing
980FreeBSD.  Note that the DragonFly buildworld target does not try to reuse
981make depend information, it starts from scratch, so no pre-cleaning of the
982object hierarchy is necessary.
983
984	# get the CVS repository (it is placed in /home/dcvs, 500MB).
985	# Please use the -h option and a mirror site to pull the
986	# initial repository, but feel free to use the main repository
987	# machine to pull updates.
988	cvsup /usr/share/examples/cvsup/DragonFly-cvs-supfile
989	# install the source from the CVS hierarchy (remove preexisting
990	# FreeBSD src first) (500MB)
991	cd /usr
992	rm -rf src
993	cvs -R -d /home/dcvs checkout -P src
994
995	# build it (500MB used in /usr/obj)
996	#
997	cd /usr/src
998	make buildworld
999	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
1000
1001Once you have built DragonFly you have to install it over FreeBSD.  Since
1002DragonFly does not track changes made by FreeBSD to its include file
1003hierarchy and include file pollution can cause all sorts of unexpected
1004compilation issues to come up, it is best to wipe your include hierarchy
1005prior to installing DragonFly.  Note that you should not wipe any installed
1006FreeBSD header files or binaries until after you have successfully completed
1007the build steps above.
1008
1009	rm -rf /usr/include
1010	mkdir /usr/include
1011	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
1012	make installworld
1013
1014Then you need to upgrade your system.  DragonFly's 'make upgrade' target
1015will unconditionally upgrade the /etc files that sysops do not usually
1016mess around with, such as the files in /etc/rc.d.  It will also remove any
1017obsolete files such as utilities and manpages that have been removed from
1018the system since the version you're coming from.  If you are unsure we
1019recommend that you make a backup of at least your /etc before applying
1020this step.  Note that DragonFly's RC system is basically RCNG from
1021FreeBSD-5, but there are some differences in the contents of the RC files.
1022
1023	make upgrade
1024
1025NOTE! Never do a 'make upgrade' before 'make installworld' has been run.
1026Doing so might leave your system in an unusable state.
1027
1028Finally we recommend that you do an 'ls -lta BLAH' for /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin,
1029/usr/bin, and /usr/lib, and remove any stale files that you find.  Please
1030report these files to the DragonFly developers so that they can be added to
1031the 'upgrade' target.
1032
1033
