13+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
14
15ACPI_NO_SEMAPHORES OPTION REMOVED
16---------------------------------
17
18The ACPI_NO_SEMAPHORES kernel configuration option has been removed. It
19was never part of our default kernel config.
20
21NDIS DRIVER REMOVED
22-------------------
23
24The ndis(4) driver has been removed. The NDISAPI kernel option has been
25made a no-op and will be removed at a later point in time. Users with a
26custom kernel configuration can remove this option from it now.

30+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
31
32BINUTILS 2.34 REPLACES 2.25, PRIMARY
33------------------------------------
34
35The oldest of the two versions of Binutils, version 2.25, was removed
36and replaced with Binutils 2.34.  It becomes the primary version of
37binutils and version 2.27 becomes the alternate.
38
39The accepted values of BINUTILSVER are now "binutils234" (default) and
40"binutils227".  The building of Binutils 2.27 can be prevented by setting
41NO_ALTBINUTILS=yes in make.conf
42
43LIBRADIUS AND LIBTACPLUS REMOVED
44--------------------------------
45
46Both libraries have been moved from base to DPorts net/ category.
47
48PAM_SSH MODULE REMOVED
49----------------------
50
51The pam_ssh(8) have been removed from base to DPorts security/pam_ssh.
52
53UTMP LEGACY API REMOVED
54-----------------------
55
56The legacy "utmp" API (getutent() and friends, utmp.h, etc.) has been
57removed, and we are now using the POSIX "utmpx" API (getutxent(),
58utmpx.h, etc.) only. The most visible change for users is that the
59/var/log/wtmp file will no longer be written to, just /var/log/wtmpx.
60The wtmpcvt(1) utility is provided to convert old wtmp format files to
61wtmpx.
62
63To not break old applications, the utmp symbols are still provided by
64libc as dummy functions that do nothing and always succeed.
65
66TIMED AND TIMEDC REMOVED
67------------------------
68
69timed(8) and timedc(8) have been removed because they are beyond
70obsolete for setting the time.
71
72LIBOPIE, LIBMD REMOVED
73----------------------
74
75Removal of OPIE requires /etc/pam.d/ configs to be updated.
76
77+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
78+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 5.4 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
79+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
80
81GCC50 REMOVED
82-------------
83
84The GCC50 compiler has been retired.  It has been replaced by a GCC80.
85The default alternative compiler has stayed the same - GCC47.
86
87
88PUFFS, PUTTER AND LIBREFUSE REMOVED
89-----------------------------------
90
91The puffs(4)/putter(4) subsystem has been removed, along with librefuse,
92libpuffs, and the mount_psshfs(8) utility. All of these have never been
93working correctly.
94
95FFS_ROOT OPTION REMOVED
96-----------------------
97
98The FFS_ROOT kernel configuration option has been finally removed, after
99having been a no-op since 4.9. That means users using a custom kernel
100configuration file that still contains it need to remove the option from
101that file.
102
103+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
104+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 5.2 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
105+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
106
107DIGI, RP AND SI DRIVERS REMOVED
108-------------------------------
109
110The digi(4), rp(4) and si(4) serial drivers have been removed. None of
111them were in our default kernel configuration file. The sicontrol(8)
112utility was removed, too.
113
114MKINITRD COMMAND REMOVED
115------------------------
116
117The mkinitrd(8) command is removed and its functionality is replaced by
118the new "initrd" make target.  After rebooting into the new world and
119verifying everything works, execute "make initrd" to upgrade the rescue
120tools and initrd image.
121
122IPSEC, IPSEC_ESP AND IPSEC_DEBUG REMOVED FROM VKERNEL64 CONFIG
123--------------------------------------------------------------
124
125IPsec has been removed from the system. Of our standard kernel
126configurations, only the virtual kernel one had it. People running
127vkernels with configuration files derived from our VKERNEL64 will
128have to remove these options manually.
129
130+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
131+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 5.0 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
132+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
133
134VIRTIO_PCI REMOVED FROM KERNEL CONFIG
135-------------------------------------
136
137The "device virtio_pci" line in X86_64_GENERIC has been removed. People
138with configuration files derived from it have to remove it manually.
139
140VARIOUS 'R' COMMANDS AND DAEMONS REMOVED
141----------------------------------------
142
143rcp(1), rlogin(1), rlogind(8), rsh(1) and rshd(8) have been removed.
144For those that still need them, there is the net/bsdrcmds port.
145
146VARIOUS FORMER OPTIONS REMOVED
147------------------------------
148
149Various former kernel configuration options which had been no-ops for
150some time were completely removed: SYSVMSG, SYSVSEM, SYSVSHM, P1003_1B,
151_KPOSIX_VERSION and DSCHED_FQ. Users that have any of these still in
152their kernel configuration files have to remove them.
153
154BOOTSTRAPPING LIMITED FROM PRE 4.4
155----------------------------------
156
157Upgrading to 5.1 and later versions now require at least 4.4 in
158preparations for upcoming base compilers updates.
159
160IF_PPP, PPPD, IF_FAITH, AND FAITHD REMOVED
161------------------------------------------
162
163if_ppp has been replaced by "user ppp", i.e. ppp(8) and tun(4). It had
164already been removed from our default kernel configuration before 5.0,
165so only people with custom configurations based on earlier X86_64_GENERIC
166will have to remove it manually.
167
168The faith(4) interface has been completely removed after it had also
169been removed from our default kernel configuration.
170
171+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
172+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 4.8 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
173+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
174
175FFS_ROOT OPTION DISABLED
176------------------------
177
178The FFS_ROOT option has been made a no-op and will be completely removed
179at some point in the future. Users with a custom kernel configuration
180can remove this option from it now.
181
182+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
183+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 4.6 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
184+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
185
186DSA OPENSSH KEYS DEPRECATED
187---------------------------
188
189Note that DSA OpenSSH keys were deprecated in the 4.6 to 4.8 release.
190If you are upgrading from a release older than 4.8 and use DSA OpenSSH
191keys, please update your private/public key pair or risk locking
192yourself out.
193
194AHC, AHD, AIC, NCV, NSP AND STG DRIVERS REMOVED
195-----------------------------------------------
196
197They were all in our X86_64_GENERIC kernel configuration file, along with
198the AHC_REG_PRETTY_PRINT and AHD_REG_PRETTY_PRINT options, so any custom
199configuration files derived from it need adjustment.
200
201PORTAL FILE SYSTEM REMOVED
202--------------------------
203
204It has been broken for a long time now.
205
206BINUTILS 2.27 REPLACES 2.24, PRIMARY
207------------------------------------
208
209The oldest of the two versions of Binutils, version 2.24, was removed
210and replaced with Binutils 2.27.  It becomes the primary version version
211of binutils and version 2.25 becomes the alternate.
212
213The accepted values of BINUTILSVER are now "binutils227" (default) and
214"binutils225".  The building of Binutils 2.25 can be prevented by setting
215NO_ALTBINUTILS=yes in make.conf.
216
217COMPAT_43 KERNEL OPTION REMOVED
218-------------------------------
219
220It was commented out in our default configs for several years now, but
221might still be present in custom configs created before Nov. 2011.
222
223OPENSSL REMOVED
224---------------
225
226OpenSSL has been removed from base and replaced with a private version of
227LibreSSL.  The previously installed OpenSSL libraries, headers, and man
228pages will remain on the system unless the "make upgrade" command is
229specifically instructed to remove them.  To do this, define
230REMOVE_OPENSSL_FILES for the upgrade command, e.g.
231"make upgrade REMOVE_OPENSSL_FILES=yes"
232
23328-Oct-2016: openssl has been replaced by ressl.  It is recommended that any
234stale OpenSSL files be removed to avoid configuration scripts from using
235the stale and potentially vulnerable version, but all binaries that are
236dynamically linked to the OpenSSL libraries should be rebuilt first to
237avoid breakage.
238
239OPENSSH HPN REMOVED
240-------------------
241
242It has become too cumbersome to maintain HPN patches in OpenSSH in base.
243To use OpenSSH in base remove HPN config, if you have added it.
244Check files below for HPN config, see a few lines below.
245  /etc/ssh/ssh_config, /etc/ssh/sshd_config, ~/.ssh/config
246sshd(8) will fail to start if HPN config is used.
247
248NOTE: HPN config in sshd_config will prohibit remote access to host using ssh.
249
250HPN config:
251HPNDisabled
252HPNBufferSize
253TcpRcvBuf
254TcpRcvBufPoll
255NoneEnabled
256NoneSwitch
257cipher MTR-AES-CTR
258cipher NONE
259
260OpenSSH HPN is a patch set to OpenSSH providing higher performance under some
261circumstances, especially for networking.
262If HPN functionality is needed, install security/openssh from dports.
263
264CS, EX AND VX DRIVERS REMOVED
265-----------------------------
266
267The cs(4), ex(4) and vx(4) drivers have been removed. They were very
268old and its doubtful they ever worked properly in x86_64 but they were
269in X86_64_GENERIC, so custom configurations derived from it have to be
270adjusted.
271
272+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
273+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 4.4 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
274+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
275
276AMD REMOVED
277-----------
278
279The am-utils automounter suite has been removed. It stopped working
280at some point and was never fixed. autofs(5) and the associated
281userland has been brought in from FreeBSD and replaces it.
282
283AN DRIVER REMOVED
284-----------------
285
286The an(4) driver has been removed. It was in the X86_64_GENERIC kernel
287config file, so any configurations derived from it have to be adjusted.
288
289/DEV/DRI GROUP CHANGED
290----------------------
291
292The default group assigned to /dev/dri entries has been changed
293from 'wheel' to 'video' with the id of '44'. If you want to have
294access to the dri devices please add yourself to the video group
295with:
296
297# pw groupmod video -m $USER
298

301+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
302
303DSCHED REMOVED
304--------------
305
306dsched(4) has been removed and one of its kernel options, DSCHED_FQ, was
307in our default kernel config file. So the DSCHED_FQ option has been turned
308into a no-op for now and can be removed from custom configurations.
309
310EST DRIVER REMOVED, COMPILE_ET AND LIBCOM_ERR TOO
311-------------------------------------------------
312
313The est(4) driver has been removed. All CPUs it supported (except one)
314were 32 bits only. Those who are still using the Core 2 Duo T7500 should
315report back if there are any issues with this CPU and our regular ACPI
316P-state support.
317
318Also, compile_et(1) and com_err(3) have been removed as well. They
319should have been removed along with kerberos support, back in 2009.
320
321SEVERAL LOCALES RENAMED
322-----------------------
323
324Several locales were using obsolete and misleading names, and thus have
325been adjusted to current standards. Any users of the following locales
326need to select alternates:
327
328DFLY 4.2 locale            DFLY 4.4 alterative locale

351BINUTILS 2.25 REPLACES 2.22, PRIMARY
352------------------------------------
353
354The oldest of the two versions of Binutils, version 2.22, was removed
355and replaced with Binutils 2.25.  It becomes the primary version version
356of binutils and version 2.24 becomes the alternate.  There are 8 current
357CVE written against 2.24, so for security reasons version 2.25 should
358always be used.
359
360The accepted values of BINUTILSVER are now "binutils225" (default) and
361"binutils224".  The building of Binutils 2.24 can be prevented by setting
362NO_ALTBINUTILS=yes in make.conf.
363
364LOADER OPTIONS CHANGED
365----------------------
366
367Right after the development branch started, the Fred art accompanying the
368loader menu was improved.  The line between Fred and the menu was removed
369by default (but can optionally be returned) and the placement shifted as
370a result.  The drawing was improved, and the colored version was improved,
371changing the eyes and wing color from white to red.  A new color version
372of Fred was added, one with a blue scheme.
373
374The loader menu defaults have changed since release 4.0:  The vertical
375line was removed, the loader is displayed in color by default*, and the
376blue scheme is used.
377
378The loader.conf changes are:
379loader_color:   option has been removed
380loader_plain:   option has been added, it changed menu to monochrome
381fred_is_red:    changes color scheme from blue to red
382fred_is_blue:   option existed only on 4.1, it has been removed
383fred_separated: Adds line between Fred and menu (as seen previously)
384
385* If loader.conf defines "console" as "comconsole" or "console" is defined
386  in the environment as "comconsole" then color will not be displayed,
387  even if loader_plain value is "NO".
388
389SENDMAIL REMOVED FROM BASE
390--------------------------
391
392The only Mail Transfer Agent provided now is DragonFly Mail Agent (dma).
393If the system being upgraded is still configured to use the sendmail
394binaries from base, the "make upgrade" command will fail.
395
396The administrator must change /etc/mail/mailer.conf to switch the
397mailwrapper to dma or a DPorts-based MTA prior to running the upgrade
398command that permanently removes sendmail executables and could
399potentially break a running mail server.
400
401Refer: http://www.dragonflybsd.com/docs/docs/newhandbook/mta/ for
402detailed instructions on how to configure the MTA selection.
403
404_KPOSIX_VERSION and P1003_1B OPTIONS REMOVED
405--------------------------------------------
406
407The _KPOSIX_VERSION and P1003_1B kernel options have been changed to
408no-ops. They can be removed from custom kernel configurations.
409
410SOUND SYSTEM UPDATED FROM FreeBSD 11-CURRENT
411--------------------------------------------
412
413Many more sound devices may be detected.
414
415If the default device chosen isn't to your liking, setting the sysctl
416hw.snd.default_unit to a different number will change it.
417
418SCTP SUPPORT DROPPED
419--------------------
420
421Support for the SCTP protocol has been removed.
422
423OLD USB DRIVERS REMOVED
424-----------------------
425
426The old USB stack, along with the kernel config option "device oldusb"
427and the make.conf variable "WANT_OLDUSB" have been removed. This means
428that for custom kernel configuration files which were derived from a
429GENERIC or X86_64_GENERIC file prior to making the usb4bsd stack default,
430various (old USB stack specific) devices will now complain about being
431unknown:
432
433  * oldusb	(obviously)
434  * natausb	(not yet ported to usb4bsd)
435  * rue		(not yet ported to usb4bsd)
436  * ugen	(no longer needed in usb4bsd)
437  * urio	(not yet ported to usb4bsd)
438  * uscanner	(no longer needed in usb4bsd)
439
440They should be removed or commented out in such custom kernel configs.
441
442GCC 5
443-----
444
445The GCC 4.4 compiler has been retired.  It has been replaced by a GCC 5.1.
446The following make.conf variables no longer work: NO_GCC44, NO_OBJC, and
447NO_CXX.  The latter was never documented and the latest versions of GCC are
448partially written in C++ so a C++ compiler is no longer optional.  In
449practical terms it has not been optional for many years as other base
450components are also written in C++.  The resource savings by avoiding
451building Objective-C compiler is so small, the complexity added by NO_OBJC
452internally was deemed a bad tradeoff so that is the reason for its removal.
453Also note that no "info" pages are installed with GCC 5.  After this entry
454was originally written, all info pages were removed from DragonFly.
455
456GCC 5.1 has been designated as the primary compiler.  As such, there is a
457new make.conf variable, NO_ALTCOMPILER.  It will block the rebuilding of
458the designated secondary compiler, GCC 4.7.  However, while DPorts
459primarily uses GCC 5 to build ports now, it still uses GCC 4.7 as well, so
460if building ports from source is desired, don't block building of the
461secondary compiler.

466
467SMP AND DEVICE_POLLING OPTIONS MADE UNKNOWN
468-------------------------------------------
469
470DEVICE_POLLING was replaced by IFPOLL_ENABLE and the former SMP code is
471the default now (even on single-core systems), both for, like, 21 months.
472We kept the options around as no-ops as a convenience, to allow people
473using the same config for the then current release and the then current
474master. That period is now over, so any configs still having those
475options have to be adjusted.
476
477SYSVIPC SYSCALLS MADE NON-OPTIONAL
478----------------------------------
479
480The code related to the SYSVMSG, SYSVSEM and SYSVSHM kernel options is
481now compiled in by default. The options are no-ops for now.
482
483DEFAULT DRIVER CHANGED FOR LSI "THUNDERBOLT" SERIES RAID CONTROLLERS
484--------------------------------------------------------------------
485
486The default driver for those controllers is now mrsas(4) due to reports
487of file system corruption using the mfi(4) driver. The whole issue (and
488how to deal with potential problems when switching) was explained here:
489
490http://lists.dragonflybsd.org/pipermail/users/2014-July/128703.html
491
492A tunable is provided for letting those controllers still attach via
493the mfi(4) driver, hw.mrsas.mfi_enable (see mrsas(4) manual page).
494
495OLDER NETWORK DRIVERS MOVED TO I386 ONLY
496----------------------------------------
497
498The following drivers have been made i386 only: ed(4), sr(4), ng_sync_ar
499and ng_sync_sr. ed(4) used to be in X86_64_GENERIC, so it has to be
500removed in kernel configs derived from X86_64_GENERIC.

506UPDATE FROM MOST RECENT 3.6
507---------------------------
508
509Versions of 3.6 built before June 25th have a bug where installworld might
510crash during installation of the new initrd.  Upgrade to the latest version
511of 3.6 before updating to 3.8 or later.
512
513ATM, IPX, NCP AND NWFS SUPPORT DROPPED
514--------------------------------------
515
516Support for the IPX and NCP network protocols and for mouting NetWare
517file systems has been dropped. Dito for ATM protocol support.
518
519INITRD IMAGES NOW INSTALLED BY DEFAULT
520--------------------------------------
521
522An initial ramdisk image is now installed in /boot/kernel/initrd.img.gz
523
524Older images installed under the file name of initrd.img will be removed
525automatically by the make upgrade process.
526
527USB4BSD IS NOW THE DEFAULT USB STACK
528------------------------------------
529
530To get back to the old stack, put "WANT_OLDUSB=yes" in /etc/make.conf and
531replace "device usb" with "device oldusb" in the kernel configuration.
532
533MORE ISA SUPPORT DROPPED
534------------------------
535
536ISA support has been dropped from the following drivers: adv(4), an(4),
537ar(4), cs(4), digi(4), ed(4), ep(4), ex(4), fe(4), lnc(4), sbni(4),
538si(4), sn(4), and stg(4).

543
544ABI CHANGE
545----------
546
547Installed third-party software (dports) will have to be rebuilt after upgrade,
548or reinstalled from binary packages.
549
550UPDATING FROM 3.4 TO 3.6
551------------------------
552
553This only applies for this specific upgrade due to locale changes; it is
554not needed for upgrades after 3.6.  Please update in this order:
555
556make buildworld
557make buildkernel
558make installworld
559make installkernel
560*reboot*

565
566CYRIX OPTIONS REMOVED
567---------------------
568
569The following Cyrix related options have been removed: CPU_BTB_EN,
570CPU_CYRIX_NO_LOCK, CPU_DIRECT_MAPPED_CACHE, CPU_DISABLE_5X86_LSSER,
571CPU_FASTER_5X86_FPU, CPU_IORT, CPU_LOOP_EN, CPU_RSTK_EN, CPU_SUSP_HLT,
572CYRIX_CACHE_WORKS, and CYRIX_CACHE_REALLY_WORKS
573
574ISA SUPPORT REMOVED FROM RP(4)
575------------------------------
576
577ISA support has been removed from the rp(4) driver. It is now PCI only.
578
579+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
580+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.2 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
581+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
582
583COMPAT_SUNOS OPTION REMOVED
584---------------------------
585
586The COMPAT_SUNOS option has been removed. It was meant to provide binary
587compatibility with SunOS 4.x for the sparc32 port of 4.4BSD.
588
589ISA SOUND CARD SUPPORT REMOVED
590------------------------------
591
592The following modules have been removed (all for ISA sound cards):
593snd_ad1816.ko, snd_ess.ko, snd_mss.ko, snd_sb8.ko, snd_sb16.ko, snd_sbc.ko
594
595GCC 4.7
596-------
597
598DragonFly has switched base compilers.  GCC 4.7 is now the default
599compiler and GCC 4.4 is the alternative compiler.  The "NO_GCC47" make
600variable ceases to work now.
601
602Users who wish to build only GCC 4.7 have to use NO_GCC44 in the
603/etc/make.conf to prohibit GCC 4.4 from building.  However, using it is
604highly discouraged.  There are a few packages in pkgsrc that do not build
605with GCC 4.7 and the new "DPorts" system uses GCC 4.4 by default.  At
606this time, it is recommended to keep both compilers on the base system.
607
608SMP OPTION REMOVED
609------------------
610
611The SMP kernel option has been made a no-op. All kernels now feature SMP
612support. If you have 'options SMP' in your kernel config, you can as well
613remove it.
614
615DEVICE_POLLING OPTION REPLACED BY IFPOLL_ENABLE OPTION, KTR_POLLING REMOVED
616---------------------------------------------------------------------------
617
618The DEVICE_POLLING kernel option has been made a no-op and it has been
619replaced by IFPOLL_ENABLE.  If you have 'options DEVICE_POLLING' in your
620kernel config, you need to change it to IFPOLL_ENABLE.
621
622Also, the KTR_POLLING kernel option has been removed, so it must be
623removed from kernel configs that have it.
624
625BUSLOGIC, CYCLADES AND STALLION ISA SUPPORT REMOVED
626---------------------------------------------------
627
628The bt(4) driver for Buslogic SCSI adapters has been made PCI only. ISA
629cards will no longer be detected.
630
631The same has been done for Stallion multiport serial controllers. stli(4)
632has been completely removed (along with the stlload(8) and stlstty(8)
633utilities) and stl(4) was changed to support only PCI cards. Similarly,
634ISA support was removed from cy(4) too. All these drivers are i386 only.
635
636COMPAT_OLDISA OPTION GONE
637-------------------------
638
639The i386 specific COMPAT_OLDISA kernel option has been removed, since
640nothing needs it anymore.
641
642+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
643+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.0 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
644+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
645
646APIC_IO OPTION REMOVED
647----------------------
648
649The APIC_IO kernel option is no longer accepted after having been without
650effect for a while. The hw.ioapic_enable tunable now serves its purpose.
651If you have 'options APIC_IO' in your kernel config, you'll have to
652remove it.
653
654WATCHDOG_ENABLE & HW_WDOG OPTIONS REMOVED
655-----------------------------------------
656
657The wdog framework is now compiled into our kernels by default, so the
658options are no longer needed.
659
660DOSCMD(1) REMOVED
661-----------------
662
663doscmd(1) has been removed. It was i386 only. The doscmd(1) specific
664NO_X make.conf option was removed too.
665
666GCC 4.7
667-------
668
669GCC 4.7 has been brought in and replaces GCC 4.1 as DragonFly's non-
670default compiler in base (default is still GCC 4.4).
671
672Users who wish to build only GCC 4.4 have to replace NO_GCC41 with
673NO_GCC47 in /etc/make.conf.
674
675USB4BSD
676-------
677
678A new USB stack (from FreeBSD) has been brought in. The following
679modules have been ported so far: usb, uhci, ohci, ehci, xhci, umass,
680usfs, uether, if_axe, if_udav, ukbd, ums, uep, uhid, usb_quirk,
681and uaudio.
682
683It is not yet the default. To activate it, WANT_USB4BSD=yes has to
684be put in make.conf and device "usb4bsd" (quotes needed) has to
685replace device usb in the kernel config. After that, a full
686build/install/upgrade cycle is needed.
687
688Note that this is experimental and incomplete, but we are interested
689in hearing about issues with it, of course.
690
691ISA SUPPORT REMOVED FROM AIC-6260/6360 DRIVER
692---------------------------------------------
693
694ISA adapter support was dropped from the aic(4) driver.

699
700SEVERAL ISA DRIVERS REMOVED
701---------------------------
702
703The following ISA only drivers have been removed along with a couple of
704associated userland tools:
705
706aha(4)
707asc(4) & sasc(1)
708ctx
709dgb(4)
710el(4)
711gpib
712gsc(4) & sgsc(1)
713ie(4)
714labpc(4)
715le(4)
716mse(4)
717rc(4)
718rdp(4)
719spigot
720tw(4) & xten(1) & xtend(8)
721wl(4) & wlconfig(8)
722wt(4)
723
724Note that two of these drivers (aha(4) and ie(4)) are in our GENERIC
725config and one (aha(4)) is in our X86_64_GENERIC kernel configuration
726file.
727
728If buildkernel complains about any of these drivers, just remove them
729from your kernel configuration.
730
731BINUTILS 2.20
732-------------
733Binutils 2.20 has been removed in favor of Binutils 2.22.  The accepted
734values of BINUTILSVERS are now binutils221 and binutils222 (default).
735
736BUILDWORLD/-KERNEL PARALLELIZATION WORK
737---------------------------------------
738Due to changes in the way we build with more than one make job, you
739will have to update install(1) and mkdir(1) prior to buildworld if you
740want to build with 'make -j':
741
742cd /usr/src/usr.bin/xinstall; make; make install; make clean
743cd /usr/src/bin/mkdir; make; make install; make clean
744
745DMA(8) UPGRADE
746--------------
747dma(8) has been upgraded to v0.7 which no longer supports the
748/etc/dma/virtusertable. Some of its functionality has been replaced
749with the MASQUERADE keyword and the EMAIL environment variable (see
750the dma(8) manual page).
751
752+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
753+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.8 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
754+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
755
756GCC 4.4 & BINUTILS 2.21
757-----------------------
758
759GCC 4.4 has been made DragonFly's default compiler and Binutils 2.21 has
760been made DragonFly's default Binutils.
761
762That means that any settings that set CCVER to 'gcc44' are not needed
763anymore. Instead, CCVER can be set to 'gcc41' to go back to using
764GCC 4.1.
765
766It also means that 'binutils221' as a value for BINUTILSVER has no
767effect anymore. 2.17 has been removed and 'binutils220' is available
768as an option.
769
770The NO_GCC44 option has been removed and will not affect the build
771anymore. There is now a NO_GCC41 option that will prevent GCC 4.1 from
772building in a similar fashion.
773
774Note that you must do a full buildworld/buildkernel for upgrading.
775
776pkg_radd settings
777-----------------
778
779The config file for pkg_radd has moved from /etc/settings.conf to
780/etc/pkg_radd.conf.  Save the contents of settings.conf before upgrading
781if this is needed.  This warning only applies if /etc/settings.conf
782exists.  pkg_radd will continue to work with defaults.

789OpenSSL
790--------
791
792OpenSSL has been upgraded, and SHLIB_MAJOR was bumped for libssh and libcrypto.
793This shouldn't break any 3rd-party software, but you'll need to recompile your
7943rd-party software if you want it to link against the new version of OpenSSL.
795
796Loader
797-------
798
799A new loader (dloader) has been added which better handles booting from
800multiple kernel/module versions.
801
802To upgrade (Only for this upgrade, for post 2.8 upgrades see GENERAL below)
803
804	cd /usr/src
805	make buildworld
806	make installworld
807	make upgrade
808	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
809	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
810
811Note that you must installworld and run the 'upgrade' target before
812installing the new kernel.
813
814BIND
815-----
816
817BIND has been removed from the base system.  The ldns and drill tools have
818been added for basic functionality.  Use 'drill' where you would normally
819use nslookup or dig, or install BIND from pkgsrc.  It's available as
820net/bind95, net/bind96, or net/bind97 as of this writing.
821
822This only affects older systems upgrading to 2.8.  New 2.8+ installs
823include BIND as a pkgsrc package.
824
825+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
826+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY ON AN EXISTING DRAGONFLY SYSTEM		+
827+				GENERAL					+
828+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
829
830Instructions on how to obtain and maintain DragonFly source code using git
831are in the development(7) manual page.
832
833To upgrade a DragonFly system from sources you run the following sequence:
834
835	cd /usr/src
836	make buildworld
837	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
838	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
839	make installworld
840
841You will also want to run the 'upgrade' target to upgrade your /etc and the
842rest of your system.  The upgrade target is aware of stale files created by
843older DragonFly installations and should delete them automatically.
844
845	make upgrade
846
847See the build(7) manual page for further information.
848
849Once you've done a full build of the world and kernel you can do incremental
850upgrades of either by using the 'quickworld' and 'quickkernel' targets
851instead of 'buildworld' and 'buildkernel'.  If you have any problems with
852the quick targets, try updating your repo first, and then a full buildworld
853and buildkernel as shown above, before asking for help.
854
855+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
856+         UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 2.0 TO DRAGONFLY >= 2.1		+
857+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
858
859In 2.1 kernel and modules has moved to boot directory.  For most cases
860this is handled automatically by 'make upgrade'.  A few cases needs manual
861intervention:
862
863 * When installing a kernel without first doing a make buildworld,
864   installworld and upgrade to the same DESTDIR as kernel:
865   make DESTDIR/boot directory and move kernel and modules into this boot
866   directory; also move kernel.old and modules.old.
867   Typical example is vkernel(7), use (no modules used):
868
869	cd /var/vkernel
870	mkdir boot
871	chflags noschg kernel
872	mv kernel kernel.old boot
873	chflags schg boot/kernel
874
875 * When using a boot-only partition, /boot/loader.rc needs to be edited:
876   delete occurrences of '/boot/'.
877   These occurrences can normally be deleted in any case, see loader(8).
878
879+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
880+         UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 1.8 TO DRAGONFLY >= 1.9		+
881+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
882
883In 1.9 major changes to the disk management infrastructure have taken
884place.  make upgrade may not catch all of your disk devices in /dev,
885so after upgrading be sure to cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV <blah> where <blah>
886are all of your disk devices.  HOWEVER, from late 2.3 on we run devfs
887and MAKEDEV no longer exists.
888
889The biggest changes in 1.9 are:
890
891(1) That whole-slice devices such as da0s1 no longer share the same device
892    id as partition c devices such as da0s1c.
893
894(2) The whole-disk device (e.g. da0) is full raw access to the disk,
895    with no snooping or reserved sectors.  Consequently you cannot run
896    disklabel on this device.  Instead you must run disklabel on a
897    whole-slice device.
898
899(3) The 'compatibility' partitions now use slice 0 in the device name,
900    so instead of da0a you must specify da0s0a.  Also, as per (1) above,
901    accessing the disklabel for the compatibility partitions must be
902    done via slice 0 (da0s0).
903
904(4) Many device drivers that used to fake up labels, such as CD, ACD, VN,
905    and CCD now run through the disk management layer and are assigned
906    real disk management devices.   VN and CCD in particular do not usually
907    use a MBR and disklabels must be accessed through the compatibility
908    slice 0.  Your /etc/ccd.conf file still specifies 'ccd0', though, you
909    don't name it 'ccd0s0' in the config file.
910
911Generally speaking, you have to get used to running fdisk and disklabel on
912the correctly specified device names.  A lot of the wiggle, such as running
913disklabel on a partition, has been removed.

919> Kerberos IV
920-------------
921
922Kerberos IV (eBones) was removed from the tree, please consider moving to
923Kerberos 5 (Heimdal).
924
925> Package Management System
926---------------------------
927
928Starting with the 1.4 release, DragonFly uses NetBSD's pkgsrc package
929management system.  The necessary tools to build and maintain packages
930are provided in /usr/pkg/bin and /usr/pkg/sbin.  Make sure that these
931directories are in your PATH variable.
932
933In order to obtain a reasonably current snapshot of the pkgsrc tree, use
934the tarball from NetBSD:
935
936	fetch -o /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc.tar.gz
937	cd /usr; tar -xzf /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz; chown -R root:wheel pkgsrc
938
939This tree can then be kept up to date with cvs update:
940
941	cd /usr/pkgsrc; cvs up
942
943NOTE! If you upgraded from a pre-1.4 system to 1.4 or later, you need to
944build and install the pkgsrc bootstrap manually:
945
946	cd /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap
947	./bootstrap --pkgdbdir /var/db/pkg --prefix /usr/pkg

954
955The compatibility shims for the build environment have been removed, you
956have to update to DragonFly 1.2 release branch first.
957
958The default PAM configuration has moved from /etc/pam.conf to /etc/pam.d/.
959The existing configuration can be converted using /etc/pam.d/convert.sh.
960Entries in /etc/pam.d/ override entries in /etc/pam.conf. In addition
961the pam_skey.so module was retired, you have to remove it manually from
962your configuration, when you convert it.
963
964> Required user and group IDs when upgrading from either FreeBSD or DragonFly
965---------------------
966
967The following users may be missing from your password file.  Use vipw and
968add any that are missing:
969
970smmsp:*:25:25::0:0:Sendmail Submission User:/var/spool/clientmqueue:/sbin/nologin
971_pflogd:*:64:64::0:0:pflogd privsep user:/var/empty:/sbin/nologin
972
973The following groups may be missing from your group file.  Use vi /etc/group
974and add any that are missing:
975
976smmsp:*:25:
977authpf:*:63:
978_pflogd:*:64:
979
980
981> Upgrading to DragonFly from FreeBSD
982---------------------
983
984You can build the DragonFly world and DragonFly kernels on a FreeBSD-4.x or
985FreeBSD-5.x machine and then install DragonFly over FreeBSD, replacing
986FreeBSD.  Note that the DragonFly buildworld target does not try to reuse
987make depend information, it starts from scratch, so no pre-cleaning of the
988object hierarchy is necessary.
989
990	# get the CVS repository (it is placed in /home/dcvs, 500MB).
991	# Please use the -h option and a mirror site to pull the
992	# initial repository, but feel free to use the main repository
993	# machine to pull updates.
994	cvsup /usr/share/examples/cvsup/DragonFly-cvs-supfile
995	# install the source from the CVS hierarchy (remove preexisting
996	# FreeBSD src first) (500MB)
997	cd /usr
998	rm -rf src
999	cvs -R -d /home/dcvs checkout -P src
1000
1001	# build it (500MB used in /usr/obj)
1002	#
1003	cd /usr/src
1004	make buildworld
1005	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
1006
1007Once you have built DragonFly you have to install it over FreeBSD.  Since
1008DragonFly does not track changes made by FreeBSD to its include file
1009hierarchy and include file pollution can cause all sorts of unexpected
1010compilation issues to come up, it is best to wipe your include hierarchy
1011prior to installing DragonFly.  Note that you should not wipe any installed
1012FreeBSD header files or binaries until after you have successfully completed
1013the build steps above.
1014
1015	rm -rf /usr/include
1016	mkdir /usr/include
1017	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
1018	make installworld
1019
1020Then you need to upgrade your system.  DragonFly's 'make upgrade' target
1021will unconditionally upgrade the /etc files that sysops do not usually
1022mess around with, such as the files in /etc/rc.d.  It will also remove any
1023obsolete files such as utilities and manpages that have been removed from
1024the system since the version you're coming from.  If you are unsure we
1025recommend that you make a backup of at least your /etc before applying
1026this step.  Note that DragonFly's RC system is basically RCNG from
1027FreeBSD-5, but there are some differences in the contents of the RC files.
1028
1029	make upgrade
1030
1031NOTE! Never do a 'make upgrade' before 'make installworld' has been run.
1032Doing so might leave your system in an unusable state.
1033
1034Finally we recommend that you do an 'ls -lta BLAH' for /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin,
