12+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.4 to later versions                +
13+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
14
15CYRIX OPTIONS REMOVED
16---------------------
17
18The following Cyrix related options have been removed: CPU_BTB_EN,
19CPU_CYRIX_NO_LOCK, CPU_DIRECT_MAPPED_CACHE, CPU_DISABLE_5X86_LSSER,
20CPU_FASTER_5X86_FPU, CPU_IORT, CPU_LOOP_EN, CPU_RSTK_EN, CPU_SUSP_HLT,
21CYRIX_CACHE_WORKS, and CYRIX_CACHE_REALLY_WORKS
22
23ISA SUPPORT REMOVED FROM RP(4)
24------------------------------
25
26ISA support has been removed from the rp(4) driver. It is now PCI only.
27
28+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
29+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.2 to later versions                +
30+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
31
32COMPAT_SUNOS OPTION REMOVED
33---------------------------
34
35The COMPAT_SUNOS option has been removed. It was meant to provide binary
36compatibility with SunOS 4.x for the sparc32 port of 4.4BSD.
37
38ISA SOUND CARD SUPPORT REMOVED
39------------------------------
40
41The following modules have been removed (all for ISA sound cards):
42snd_ad1816.ko, snd_ess.ko, snd_mss.ko, snd_sb8.ko, snd_sb16.ko, snd_sbc.ko
43
44GCC 4.7
45-------
46
47DragonFly has switched base compilers.  GCC 4.7 is now the default
48compiler and GCC 4.4 is the alternative compiler.  The "NO_GCC47" make
49variable ceases to work now.
50
51Users who wish to build only GCC 4.7 have to use NO_GCC44 in the
52/etc/make.conf to prohibit GCC 4.4 from building.  However, using it is
53highly discouraged.  There are a few packages in pkgsrc that do not build
54with GCC 4.7 and the new "DPorts" system uses GCC 4.4 by default.  At
55this time, it is recommended to keep both compilers on the base system.
56
57SMP OPTION REMOVED
58------------------
59
60The SMP kernel option has been made a no-op. All kernels now feature SMP
61support. If you have 'options SMP' in your kernel config, you can as well
62remove it.
63
64DEVICE_POLLING OPTION REPLACED BY IFPOLL_ENABLE OPTION, KTR_POLLING REMOVED
65---------------------------------------------------------------------------
66
67The DEVICE_POLLING kernel option has been made a no-op and it has been
68replaced by IFPOLL_ENABLE.  If you have 'options DEVICE_POLLING' in your
69kernel config, you need to change it to IFPOLL_ENABLE.
70
71Also, the KTR_POLLING kernel option has been removed, so it must be
72removed from kernel configs that have it.
73
74BUSLOGIC, CYCLADES AND STALLION ISA SUPPORT REMOVED
75---------------------------------------------------
76
77The bt(4) driver for Buslogic SCSI adapters has been made PCI only. ISA
78cards will no longer be detected.
79
80The same has been done for Stallion multiport serial controllers. stli(4)
81has been completely removed (along with the stlload(8) and stlstty(8)
82utilities) and stl(4) was changed to support only PCI cards. Similarly,
83ISA support was removed from cy(4) too. All these drivers are i386 only.
84
85COMPAT_OLDISA OPTION GONE
86-------------------------
87
88The i386 specific COMPAT_OLDISA kernel option has been removed, since
89nothing needs it anymore.
90
91+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
92+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.0 to later versions                +
93+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
94
95APIC_IO OPTION REMOVED
96----------------------
97
98The APIC_IO kernel option is no longer accepted after having been without
99effect for a while. The hw.ioapic_enable tunable now serves its purpose.
100If you have 'options APIC_IO' in your kernel config, you'll have to
101remove it.
102
103WATCHDOG_ENABLE & HW_WDOG OPTIONS REMOVED
104-----------------------------------------
105
106The wdog framework is now compiled into our kernels by default, so the
107options are no longer needed.
108
109DOSCMD(1) REMOVED
110-----------------
111
112doscmd(1) has been removed. It was i386 only. The doscmd(1) specific
113NO_X make.conf option was removed too.
114
115GCC 4.7
116-------
117
118GCC 4.7 has been brought in and replaces GCC 4.1 as DragonFly's non-
119default compiler in base (default is still GCC 4.4).
120
121Users who wish to build only GCC 4.4 have to replace NO_GCC41 with
122NO_GCC47 in /etc/make.conf.
123
124USB4BSD
125-------
126
127A new USB stack (from FreeBSD) has been brought in. The following
128modules have been ported so far: usb, uhci, ohci, ehci, xhci, umass,
129usfs, uether, if_axe, if_udav, ukbd, ums, uep, uhid, usb_quirk,
130and uaudio.
131
132It is not yet the default. To activate it, WANT_USB4BSD=yes has to
133be put in make.conf and device "usb4bsd" (quotes needed) has to
134replace device usb in the kernel config. After that, a full
135build/install/upgrade cycle is needed.
136
137Note that this is experimental and incomplete, but we are interested
138in hearing about issues with it, of course.
139
140ISA SUPPORT REMOVED FROM AIC-6260/6360 DRIVER
141---------------------------------------------
142
143ISA adapter support was dropped from the aic(4) driver.
144
145+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
146+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.10 to later versions               +
147+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
148
149SEVERAL ISA DRIVERS REMOVED
150---------------------------
151
152The following ISA only drivers have been removed along with a couple of
153associated userland tools:
154
155aha(4)
156asc(4) & sasc(1)
157ctx
158dgb(4)
159el(4)
160gpib
161gsc(4) & sgsc(1)
162ie(4)
163labpc(4)
164le(4)
165mse(4)
166rc(4)
167rdp(4)
168spigot
169tw(4) & xten(1) & xtend(8)
170wl(4) & wlconfig(8)
171wt(4)
172
173Note that two of these drivers (aha(4) and ie(4)) are in our GENERIC
174config and one (aha(4)) is in our X86_64_GENERIC kernel configuration
175file.
176
177If buildkernel complains about any of these drivers, just remove them
178from your kernel configuration.
179
180BINUTILS 2.20
181-------------
182Binutils 2.20 has been removed in favor of Binutils 2.22.  The accepted
183values of BINUTILSVERS are now binutils221 and binutils222 (default).
184
185BUILDWORLD/-KERNEL PARALLELIZATION WORK
186---------------------------------------
187Due to changes in the way we build with more than one make job, you
188will have to update install(1) and mkdir(1) prior to buildworld if you
189want to build with 'make -j':
190
191cd /usr/src/usr.bin/xinstall; make; make install; make clean
192cd /usr/src/bin/mkdir; make; make install; make clean
193
194DMA(8) UPGRADE
195--------------
196dma(8) has been upgraded to v0.7 which no longer supports the
197/etc/dma/virtusertable. Some of its functionality has been replaced
198with the MASQUERADE keyword and the EMAIL environment variable (see
199the dma(8) manual page).
200
201+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
202+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.8 to later versions                +
203+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
204
205GCC 4.4 & BINUTILS 2.21
206-----------------------
207
208GCC 4.4 has been made DragonFly's default compiler and Binutils 2.21 has
209been made DragonFly's default Binutils.
210
211That means that any settings that set CCVER to 'gcc44' are not needed
212anymore. Instead, CCVER can be set to 'gcc41' to go back to using
213GCC 4.1.
214
215It also means that 'binutils221' as a value for BINUTILSVER has no
216effect anymore. 2.17 has been removed and 'binutils220' is available
217as an option.
218
219The NO_GCC44 option has been removed and will not affect the build
220anymore. There is now a NO_GCC41 option that will prevent GCC 4.1 from
221building in a similar fashion.
222
223Note that you must do a full buildworld/buildkernel for upgrading.
224
225pkg_radd settings
226-----------------
227
228The config file for pkg_radd has moved from /etc/settings.conf to
229/etc/pkg_radd.conf.  Save the contents of settings.conf before upgrading
230if this is needed.  This warning only applies if /etc/settings.conf
231exists.  pkg_radd will continue to work with defaults.
232

235+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.6 to 2.8 or HEAD			+
236+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
237
238OpenSSL
239--------
240
241OpenSSL has been upgraded, and SHLIB_MAJOR was bumped for libssh and libcrypto.
242This shouldn't break any 3rd-party software, but you'll need to recompile your
2433rd-party software if you want it to link against the new version of OpenSSL.
244
245Loader
246-------
247
248A new loader (dloader) has been added which better handles booting from
249multiple kernel/module versions.
250
251To upgrade (Only for this upgrade, for post 2.8 upgrades see GENERAL below)
252
253	cd /usr/src
254	make buildworld
255	make installworld
256	make upgrade
257	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
258	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
259
260Note that you must installworld and run the 'upgrade' target before
261installing the new kernel.
262
263BIND
264-----
265
266BIND has been removed from the base system.  The ldns and drill tools have
267been added for basic functionality.  Use 'drill' where you would normally
268use nslookup or dig, or install BIND from pkgsrc.  It's available as
269net/bind95, net/bind96, or net/bind97 as of this writing.
270
271This only affects older systems upgrading to 2.8.  New 2.8+ installs
272include BIND as a pkgsrc package.
273
274+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
275+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY ON AN EXISTING DRAGONFLY SYSTEM		+
276+				GENERAL					+
277+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
278
279Instructions on how to obtain and maintain DragonFly source code using git
280are in the development(7) manual page.
281
282To upgrade a DragonFly system from sources you run the following sequence:
283
284	cd /usr/src
285	make buildworld
286	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
287	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
288	make installworld
289
290You will also want to run the 'upgrade' target to upgrade your /etc and the
291rest of your system.  The upgrade target is aware of stale files created by
292older DragonFly installations and should delete them automatically.
293
294	make upgrade
295
296See the build(7) manual page for further information.
297
298Once you've done a full build of the world and kernel you can do incremental
299upgrades of either by using the 'quickworld' and 'quickkernel' targets
300instead of 'buildworld' and 'buildkernel'.  If you have any problems with
301the quick targets, try updating your repo first, and then a full buildworld
302and buildkernel as shown above, before asking for help.
303
304+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
305+         UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 2.0 TO DRAGONFLY >= 2.1		+
306+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
307
308In 2.1 kernel and modules has moved to boot directory.  For most cases
309this is handled automatically by 'make upgrade'.  A few cases needs manual
310intervention:
311
312 * When installing a kernel without first doing a make buildworld,
313   installworld and upgrade to the same DESTDIR as kernel:
314   make DESTDIR/boot directory and move kernel and modules into this boot
315   directory; also move kernel.old and modules.old.
316   Typical example is vkernel(7), use (no modules used):
317
318	cd /var/vkernel
319	mkdir boot
320	chflags noschg kernel
321	mv kernel kernel.old boot
322	chflags schg boot/kernel
323
324 * When using a boot-only partition, /boot/loader.rc needs to be edited:
325   delete occurrences of '/boot/'.
326   These occurences can normally be deleted in any case, see loader(8).
327
328+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
329+         UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 1.8 TO DRAGONFLY >= 1.9		+
330+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
331
332In 1.9 major changes to the disk management infrastructure have taken
333place.  make upgrade may not catch all of your disk devices in /dev,
334so after upgrading be sure to cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV <blah> where <blah>
335are all of your disk devices.  HOWEVER, from late 2.3 on we run devfs
336and MAKEDEV no longer exists.
337
338The biggest changes in 1.9 are:
339
340(1) That whole-slice devices such as da0s1 no longer share the same device
341    id as partition c devices such as da0s1c.
342
343(2) The whole-disk device (e.g. da0) is full raw access to the disk,
344    with no snooping or reserved sectors.  Consequently you cannot run
345    disklabel on this device.  Instead you must run disklabel on a
346    whole-slice device.
347
348(3) The 'compatibility' partitions now use slice 0 in the device name,
349    so instead of da0a you must specify da0s0a.  Also, as per (1) above,
350    accessing the disklabel for the compatibility partitions must be
351    done via slice 0 (da0s0).
352
353(4) Many device drivers that used to fake up labels, such as CD, ACD, VN,
354    and CCD now run through the disk management layer and are assigned
355    real disk management devices.   VN and CCD in particular do not usually
356    use a MBR and disklabels must be accessed through the compatibility
357    slice 0.  Your /etc/ccd.conf file still specifies 'ccd0', though, you
358    don't name it 'ccd0s0' in the config file.
359
360Generally speaking, you have to get used to running fdisk and disklabel on
361the correctly specified device names.  A lot of the wiggle, such as running
362disklabel on a partition, has been removed.
363

365+         UPGRADING FROM OLDER VERSIONS OF DRAGONFLY OR FREEBSD		+
366+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
367
368> Kerberos IV
369-------------
370
371Kerberos IV (eBones) was removed from the tree, please consider moving to
372Kerberos 5 (Heimdal).
373
374> Package Management System
375---------------------------
376
377Starting with the 1.4 release, DragonFly uses NetBSD's pkgsrc package
378management system.  The necessary tools to build and maintain packages
379are provided in /usr/pkg/bin and /usr/pkg/sbin.  Make sure that these
380directories are in your PATH variable.
381
382In order to obtain a reasonably current snapshot of the pkgsrc tree, use
383the tarball from NetBSD:
384
385	fetch -o /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc.tar.gz
386	cd /usr; tar -xzf /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz; chown -R root:wheel pkgsrc
387
388This tree can then be kept up to date with cvs update:
389
390	cd /usr/pkgsrc; cvs up
391
392NOTE! If you upgraded from a pre-1.4 system to 1.4 or later, you need to
393build and install the pkgsrc bootstrap manually:
394
395	cd /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap
396	./bootstrap --pkgdbdir /var/db/pkg --prefix /usr/pkg
397
398+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
399+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY ON AN EXISTING DRAGONFLY SYSTEM		+
400+         UPDATING FROM PRE-1.2 SYSTEMS OR FreeBSD 4.x TO               +
401+         DRAGONFLY 1.3+ (EITHER PREVIEW or HEAD)                       +
402+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
403
404The compatibility shims for the build environment have been removed, you
405have to update to DragonFly 1.2 release branch first.
406
407The default PAM configuration has moved from /etc/pam.conf to /etc/pam.d/.
408The existing configuration can be converted using /etc/pam.d/convert.sh.
409Entries in /etc/pam.d/ override entries in /etc/pam.conf. In addition
410the pam_skey.so module was retired, you have to remove it manually from
411your configuration, when you convert it.
412
413> Required user and group IDs when upgrading from either FreeBSD or DragonFly
414---------------------
415
416The following users may be missing from your password file.  Use vipw and
417add any that are missing:
418
419smmsp:*:25:25::0:0:Sendmail Submission User:/var/spool/clientmqueue:/sbin/nologin
420_pflogd:*:64:64::0:0:pflogd privsep user:/var/empty:/sbin/nologin
421
422The following groups may be missing from your group file.  Use vi /etc/group
423and add any that are missing:
424
425smmsp:*:25:
426authpf:*:63:
427_pflogd:*:64:
428
429
430> Upgrading to DragonFly from FreeBSD
431---------------------
432
433You can build the DragonFly world and DragonFly kernels on a FreeBSD-4.x or
434FreeBSD-5.x machine and then install DragonFly over FreeBSD, replacing
435FreeBSD.  Note that the DragonFly buildworld target does not try to reuse
436make depend information, it starts from scratch, so no pre-cleaning of the
437object hierarchy is necessary.
438
439	# get the CVS repository (it is placed in /home/dcvs, 500MB).
440	# Please use the -h option and a mirror site to pull the
441	# initial repository, but feel free to use the main repository
442	# machine to pull updates.
443	cvsup /usr/share/examples/cvsup/DragonFly-cvs-supfile
444	# install the source from the CVS hierarchy (remove preexisting
445	# FreeBSD src first) (500MB)
446	cd /usr
447	rm -rf src
448	cvs -R -d /home/dcvs checkout -P src
449
450	# build it (500MB used in /usr/obj)
451	#
452	cd /usr/src
453	make buildworld
454	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
455
456Once you have built DragonFly you have to install it over FreeBSD.  Since
457DragonFly does not track changes made by FreeBSD to its include file
458hierarchy and include file pollution can cause all sorts of unexpected
459compilation issues to come up, it is best to wipe your include hierarchy
460prior to installing DragonFly.  Note that you should not wipe any installed
461FreeBSD header files or binaries until after you have successfully completed
462the build steps above.
463
464	rm -rf /usr/include
465	mkdir /usr/include
466	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
467	make installworld
468
469Then you need to upgrade your system.  DragonFly's 'make upgrade' target
470will unconditionally upgrade the /etc files that sysops do not usually
471mess around with, such as the files in /etc/rc.d.  It will also remove any
472obsolete files such as utilities and manpages that have been removed from
473the system since the version you're coming from.  If you are unsure we
474recommend that you make a backup of at least your /etc before applying
475this step.  Note that DragonFly's RC system is basically RCNG from
476FreeBSD-5, but there are some differences in the contents of the RC files.
477
478	make upgrade
479
480NOTE! Never do a 'make upgrade' before 'make installworld' has been run.
481Doing so might leave your system in an unusable state.
482
483Finally we recommend that you do an 'ls -lta BLAH' for /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin,
484/usr/bin, and /usr/lib, and remove any stale files that you find.  Please
485report these files to the DragonFly developers so that they can be added to
486the 'upgrade' target.
487
488
