14
15AN DRIVER REMOVED
16-----------------
17
18The an(4) driver has been removed. It was in the X86_64_GENERIC kernel
19config file, so any configurations derived from it have to be adjusted.
20
21/DEV/DRI GROUP CHANGED
22----------------------
23
24The default group assigned to /dev/dri entries has been changed
25from 'wheel' to 'video' with the id of '44'. If you want to have
26access to the dri devices please add yourself to the video group
27with:

34
35DSCHED REMOVED
36--------------
37
38dsched(4) has been removed and one of its kernel options, DSCHED_FQ, was
39in our default kernel config file. So the DSCHED_FQ option has been turned
40into a no-op for now and can be removed from custom configurations.
41
42EST DRIVER REMOVED, COMPILE_ET AND LIBCOM_ERR TOO
43-------------------------------------------------
44
45The est(4) driver has been removed. All CPUs it supported (except one)
46were 32 bits only. Those who are still using the Core 2 Duo T7500 should
47report back if there are any issues with this CPU and our regular ACPI
48P-state support.
49
50Also, compile_et(1) and com_err(3) have been removed as well. They
51should have been removed along with kerberos support, back in 2009.
52
53SEVERAL LOCALES RENAMED
54-----------------------
55
56Several locales were using obsolete and misleading names, and thus have
57been adjusted to current standards. Any users of the following locales
58need to select alternates:
59
60DFLY 4.2 locale            DFLY 4.4 alterative locale
61---------------            ------------------------------------
62mn_MN.UTF-8                mn_Cyrl_MN.UTF-8

82
83BINUTILS 2.25 REPLACES 2.22, PRIMARY
84------------------------------------
85
86The oldest of the two versions of Binutils, version 2.22, was removed
87and replaced with Binutils 2.25.  It becomes the primary version version
88of binutils and version 2.24 becomes the alternate.  There are 8 current
89CVE written against 2.24, so for security reasons version 2.25 should
90always be used.
91
92The accepted values of BINUTILSVER are now "binutils225" (default) and
93"binutils224".  The building of Binutils 2.24 can be prevented by setting
94NO_ALTBINUTILS=yes in make.conf.
95
96LOADER OPTIONS CHANGED
97----------------------
98
99Right after the development branch started, the Fred art accompanying the
100loader menu was improved.  The line between Fred and the menu was removed
101by default (but can optionally be returned) and the placement shifted as
102a result.  The drawing was improved, and the colored version was improved,
103changing the eyes and wing color from white to red.  A new color version
104of Fred was added, one with a blue scheme.
105
106The loader menu defaults have changed since release 4.0:  The vertical
107line was removed, the loader is displayed in color by default*, and the
108blue scheme is used.
109
110The loader.conf changes are:
111loader_color:   option has been removed
112loader_plain:   option has been added, it changed menu to monochrome
113fred_is_red:    changes color scheme from blue to red
114fred_is_blue:   option existed only on 4.1, it has been removed
115fred_separated: Adds line between Fred and menu (as seen previously)
116
117* If loader.conf defines "console" as "comconsole" or "console" is defined
118  in the environment as "comconsole" then color will not be displayed,
119  even if loader_plain value is "NO".
120
121SENDMAIL REMOVED FROM BASE
122--------------------------
123
124The only Mail Transfer Agent provided now is DragonFly Mail Agent (dma).
125If the system being upgraded is still configured to use the sendmail
126binaries from base, the "make upgrade" command will fail.
127
128The administrator must change /etc/mail/mailer.conf to switch the
129mailwrapper to dma or a DPorts-based MTA prior to running the upgrade
130command that permanently removes sendmail executables and could
131potentially break a running mail server.
132
133Refer: http://www.dragonflybsd.com/docs/docs/newhandbook/mta/ for
134detailed instructions on how to configure the MTA selection.
135
136_KPOSIX_VERSION and P1003_1B OPTIONS REMOVED
137--------------------------------------------
138
139The _KPOSIX_VERSION and P1003_1B kernel options have been changed to
140no-ops. They can be removed from custom kernel configurations.
141
142SOUND SYSTEM UPDATED FROM FreeBSD 11-CURRENT
143--------------------------------------------
144
145Many more sound devices may be detected.
146
147If the default device choosen isn't to your liking, setting the sysctl
148hw.snd.default_unit to a different number will change it.
149
150SCTP SUPPORT DROPPED
151--------------------
152
153Support for the SCTP protocol has been removed.
154
155OLD USB DRIVERS REMOVED
156-----------------------
157
158The old USB stack, along with the kernel config option "device oldusb"
159and the make.conf variable "WANT_OLDUSB" have been removed. This means
160that for custom kernel configuration files which were derived from a
161GENERIC or X86_64_GENERIC file prior to making the usb4bsd stack default,
162various (old USB stack specific) devices will now complain about being
163unknown:
164
165  * oldusb	(obviously)
166  * natausb	(not yet ported to usb4bsd)
167  * rue		(not yet ported to usb4bsd)
168  * ugen	(no longer needed in usb4bsd)
169  * urio	(not yet ported to usb4bsd)
170  * uscanner	(no longer needed in usb4bsd)
171
172They should be removed or commented out in such custom kernel configs.
173
174GCC 5
175-----
176
177The GCC 4.4 compiler has been retired.  It has been replaced by a GCC 5.1.
178The following make.conf variables no longer work: NO_GCC44, NO_OBJC, and
179NO_CXX.  The latter was never documented and the latest versions of GCC are
180partially written in C++ so a C++ compiler is no longer optional.  In
181practical terms it has not been optional for many years as other base
182components are also written in C++.  The resource savings by avoiding
183building Objective-C compiler is so small, the complexity added by NO_OBJC
184internally was deemed a bad tradeoff so that is the reason for its removal.
185Also note that no "info" pages are installed with GCC 5.  After this entry
186was originally written, all info pages were removed from DragonFly.
187
188GCC 5.1 has been designated as the primary compiler.  As such, there is a
189new make.conf variable, NO_ALTCOMPILER.  It will block the rebuilding of
190the designated secondary compiler, GCC 4.7.  However, while DPorts
191primarily uses GCC 5 to build ports now, it still uses GCC 4.7 as well, so
192if building ports from source is desired, don't block building of the
193secondary compiler.

197+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
198
199SMP AND DEVICE_POLLING OPTIONS MADE UNKNOWN
200-------------------------------------------
201
202DEVICE_POLLING was replaced by IFPOLL_ENABLE and the former SMP code is
203the default now (even on single-core systems), both for, like, 21 months.
204We kept the options around as no-ops as a convenience, to allow people
205using the same config for the then current release and the then current
206master. That period is now over, so any configs still having those
207options have to be adjusted.
208
209SYSVIPC SYSCALLS MADE NON-OPTIONAL
210----------------------------------
211
212The code related to the SYSVMSG, SYSVSEM and SYSVSHM kernel options is
213now compiled in by default. The options are no-ops for now.
214
215DEFAULT DRIVER CHANGED FOR LSI "THUNDERBOLT" SERIES RAID CONTROLLERS
216--------------------------------------------------------------------
217
218The default driver for those controllers is now mrsas(4) due to reports
219of file system corruption using the mfi(4) driver. The whole issue (and
220how to deal with potential problems when switching) was explained here:
221
222http://lists.dragonflybsd.org/pipermail/users/2014-July/128703.html
223
224A tunable is provided for letting those controllers still attach via
225the mfi(4) driver, hw.mrsas.mfi_enable (see mrsas(4) manual page).
226
227OLDER NETWORK DRIVERS MOVED TO I386 ONLY
228----------------------------------------
229
230The following drivers have been made i386 only: ed(4), sr(4), ng_sync_ar
231and ng_sync_sr. ed(4) used to be in X86_64_GENERIC, so it has to be
232removed in kernel configs derived from X86_64_GENERIC.
233
234+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
235+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.6 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
236+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
237
238UPDATE FROM MOST RECENT 3.6
239---------------------------
240
241Versions of 3.6 built before June 25th have a bug where installworld might
242crash during installation of the new initrd.  Upgrade to the latest version
243of 3.6 before updating to 3.8 or later.
244
245ATM, IPX, NCP AND NWFS SUPPORT DROPPED
246--------------------------------------
247
248Support for the IPX and NCP network protocols and for mouting NetWare
249file systems has been dropped. Dito for ATM protocol support.
250
251INITRD IMAGES NOW INSTALLED BY DEFAULT
252--------------------------------------
253
254An initial ramdisk image is now installed in /boot/kernel/initrd.img.gz
255
256Older images installed under the file name of initrd.img will be removed
257automatically by the make upgrade process.
258
259USB4BSD IS NOW THE DEFAULT USB STACK
260------------------------------------
261
262To get back to the old stack, put "WANT_OLDUSB=yes" in /etc/make.conf and
263replace "device usb" with "device oldusb" in the kernel configuration.
264
265MORE ISA SUPPORT DROPPED
266------------------------
267
268ISA support has been dropped from the following drivers: adv(4), an(4),
269ar(4), cs(4), digi(4), ed(4), ep(4), ex(4), fe(4), lnc(4), sbni(4),
270si(4), sn(4), and stg(4).

275
276ABI CHANGE
277----------
278
279Installed third-party software (dports) will have to be rebuilt after upgrade,
280or reinstalled from binary packages.
281
282UPDATING FROM 3.4 TO 3.6
283------------------------
284
285This only applies for this specific upgrade due to locale changes; it is
286not needed for upgrades after 3.6.  Please update in this order:
287
288make buildworld
289make buildkernel
290make installworld
291make installkernel
292*reboot*
293make upgrade
294
295See this mailing list post for details:
296http://lists.dragonflybsd.org/pipermail/users/2013-September/090163.html
297
298CYRIX OPTIONS REMOVED
299---------------------
300
301The following Cyrix related options have been removed: CPU_BTB_EN,
302CPU_CYRIX_NO_LOCK, CPU_DIRECT_MAPPED_CACHE, CPU_DISABLE_5X86_LSSER,
303CPU_FASTER_5X86_FPU, CPU_IORT, CPU_LOOP_EN, CPU_RSTK_EN, CPU_SUSP_HLT,
304CYRIX_CACHE_WORKS, and CYRIX_CACHE_REALLY_WORKS
305
306ISA SUPPORT REMOVED FROM RP(4)
307------------------------------
308
309ISA support has been removed from the rp(4) driver. It is now PCI only.
310
311+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
312+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.2 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
313+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
314
315COMPAT_SUNOS OPTION REMOVED
316---------------------------
317
318The COMPAT_SUNOS option has been removed. It was meant to provide binary
319compatibility with SunOS 4.x for the sparc32 port of 4.4BSD.
320
321ISA SOUND CARD SUPPORT REMOVED
322------------------------------
323
324The following modules have been removed (all for ISA sound cards):
325snd_ad1816.ko, snd_ess.ko, snd_mss.ko, snd_sb8.ko, snd_sb16.ko, snd_sbc.ko
326
327GCC 4.7
328-------
329
330DragonFly has switched base compilers.  GCC 4.7 is now the default
331compiler and GCC 4.4 is the alternative compiler.  The "NO_GCC47" make
332variable ceases to work now.
333
334Users who wish to build only GCC 4.7 have to use NO_GCC44 in the
335/etc/make.conf to prohibit GCC 4.4 from building.  However, using it is
336highly discouraged.  There are a few packages in pkgsrc that do not build
337with GCC 4.7 and the new "DPorts" system uses GCC 4.4 by default.  At
338this time, it is recommended to keep both compilers on the base system.
339
340SMP OPTION REMOVED
341------------------
342
343The SMP kernel option has been made a no-op. All kernels now feature SMP
344support. If you have 'options SMP' in your kernel config, you can as well
345remove it.
346
347DEVICE_POLLING OPTION REPLACED BY IFPOLL_ENABLE OPTION, KTR_POLLING REMOVED
348---------------------------------------------------------------------------
349
350The DEVICE_POLLING kernel option has been made a no-op and it has been
351replaced by IFPOLL_ENABLE.  If you have 'options DEVICE_POLLING' in your
352kernel config, you need to change it to IFPOLL_ENABLE.
353
354Also, the KTR_POLLING kernel option has been removed, so it must be
355removed from kernel configs that have it.
356
357BUSLOGIC, CYCLADES AND STALLION ISA SUPPORT REMOVED
358---------------------------------------------------
359
360The bt(4) driver for Buslogic SCSI adapters has been made PCI only. ISA
361cards will no longer be detected.
362
363The same has been done for Stallion multiport serial controllers. stli(4)
364has been completely removed (along with the stlload(8) and stlstty(8)
365utilities) and stl(4) was changed to support only PCI cards. Similarly,
366ISA support was removed from cy(4) too. All these drivers are i386 only.
367
368COMPAT_OLDISA OPTION GONE
369-------------------------
370
371The i386 specific COMPAT_OLDISA kernel option has been removed, since
372nothing needs it anymore.
373
374+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
375+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.0 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
376+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
377
378APIC_IO OPTION REMOVED
379----------------------
380
381The APIC_IO kernel option is no longer accepted after having been without
382effect for a while. The hw.ioapic_enable tunable now serves its purpose.
383If you have 'options APIC_IO' in your kernel config, you'll have to
384remove it.
385
386WATCHDOG_ENABLE & HW_WDOG OPTIONS REMOVED
387-----------------------------------------
388
389The wdog framework is now compiled into our kernels by default, so the
390options are no longer needed.
391
392DOSCMD(1) REMOVED
393-----------------
394
395doscmd(1) has been removed. It was i386 only. The doscmd(1) specific
396NO_X make.conf option was removed too.
397
398GCC 4.7
399-------
400
401GCC 4.7 has been brought in and replaces GCC 4.1 as DragonFly's non-
402default compiler in base (default is still GCC 4.4).
403
404Users who wish to build only GCC 4.4 have to replace NO_GCC41 with
405NO_GCC47 in /etc/make.conf.
406
407USB4BSD
408-------
409
410A new USB stack (from FreeBSD) has been brought in. The following
411modules have been ported so far: usb, uhci, ohci, ehci, xhci, umass,
412usfs, uether, if_axe, if_udav, ukbd, ums, uep, uhid, usb_quirk,
413and uaudio.
414
415It is not yet the default. To activate it, WANT_USB4BSD=yes has to
416be put in make.conf and device "usb4bsd" (quotes needed) has to
417replace device usb in the kernel config. After that, a full
418build/install/upgrade cycle is needed.
419
420Note that this is experimental and incomplete, but we are interested
421in hearing about issues with it, of course.
422
423ISA SUPPORT REMOVED FROM AIC-6260/6360 DRIVER
424---------------------------------------------
425
426ISA adapter support was dropped from the aic(4) driver.
427

430+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
431
432SEVERAL ISA DRIVERS REMOVED
433---------------------------
434
435The following ISA only drivers have been removed along with a couple of
436associated userland tools:
437
438aha(4)
439asc(4) & sasc(1)
440ctx
441dgb(4)
442el(4)
443gpib
444gsc(4) & sgsc(1)
445ie(4)
446labpc(4)
447le(4)
448mse(4)
449rc(4)
450rdp(4)
451spigot
452tw(4) & xten(1) & xtend(8)
453wl(4) & wlconfig(8)
454wt(4)
455
456Note that two of these drivers (aha(4) and ie(4)) are in our GENERIC
457config and one (aha(4)) is in our X86_64_GENERIC kernel configuration
458file.
459
460If buildkernel complains about any of these drivers, just remove them
461from your kernel configuration.
462
463BINUTILS 2.20
464-------------
465Binutils 2.20 has been removed in favor of Binutils 2.22.  The accepted
466values of BINUTILSVERS are now binutils221 and binutils222 (default).
467
468BUILDWORLD/-KERNEL PARALLELIZATION WORK
469---------------------------------------
470Due to changes in the way we build with more than one make job, you
471will have to update install(1) and mkdir(1) prior to buildworld if you
472want to build with 'make -j':
473
474cd /usr/src/usr.bin/xinstall; make; make install; make clean
475cd /usr/src/bin/mkdir; make; make install; make clean
476
477DMA(8) UPGRADE
478--------------
479dma(8) has been upgraded to v0.7 which no longer supports the
480/etc/dma/virtusertable. Some of its functionality has been replaced
481with the MASQUERADE keyword and the EMAIL environment variable (see
482the dma(8) manual page).
483

486+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
487
488GCC 4.4 & BINUTILS 2.21
489-----------------------
490
491GCC 4.4 has been made DragonFly's default compiler and Binutils 2.21 has
492been made DragonFly's default Binutils.
493
494That means that any settings that set CCVER to 'gcc44' are not needed
495anymore. Instead, CCVER can be set to 'gcc41' to go back to using
496GCC 4.1.
497
498It also means that 'binutils221' as a value for BINUTILSVER has no
499effect anymore. 2.17 has been removed and 'binutils220' is available
500as an option.
501
502The NO_GCC44 option has been removed and will not affect the build
503anymore. There is now a NO_GCC41 option that will prevent GCC 4.1 from
504building in a similar fashion.
505
506Note that you must do a full buildworld/buildkernel for upgrading.
507
508pkg_radd settings
509-----------------

511The config file for pkg_radd has moved from /etc/settings.conf to
512/etc/pkg_radd.conf.  Save the contents of settings.conf before upgrading
513if this is needed.  This warning only applies if /etc/settings.conf
514exists.  pkg_radd will continue to work with defaults.

521OpenSSL
522--------
523
524OpenSSL has been upgraded, and SHLIB_MAJOR was bumped for libssh and libcrypto.
525This shouldn't break any 3rd-party software, but you'll need to recompile your
5263rd-party software if you want it to link against the new version of OpenSSL.
527
528Loader
529-------
530
531A new loader (dloader) has been added which better handles booting from
532multiple kernel/module versions.
533
534To upgrade (Only for this upgrade, for post 2.8 upgrades see GENERAL below)
535
536	cd /usr/src
537	make buildworld
538	make installworld
539	make upgrade
540	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
541	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
542
543Note that you must installworld and run the 'upgrade' target before
544installing the new kernel.
545
546BIND
547-----
548
549BIND has been removed from the base system.  The ldns and drill tools have
550been added for basic functionality.  Use 'drill' where you would normally
551use nslookup or dig, or install BIND from pkgsrc.  It's available as
552net/bind95, net/bind96, or net/bind97 as of this writing.
553
554This only affects older systems upgrading to 2.8.  New 2.8+ installs
555include BIND as a pkgsrc package.

558+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY ON AN EXISTING DRAGONFLY SYSTEM		+
559+				GENERAL					+
560+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
561
562Instructions on how to obtain and maintain DragonFly source code using git
563are in the development(7) manual page.
564
565To upgrade a DragonFly system from sources you run the following sequence:
566
567	cd /usr/src
568	make buildworld
569	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
570	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
571	make installworld
572
573You will also want to run the 'upgrade' target to upgrade your /etc and the
574rest of your system.  The upgrade target is aware of stale files created by
575older DragonFly installations and should delete them automatically.
576
577	make upgrade
578
579See the build(7) manual page for further information.
580
581Once you've done a full build of the world and kernel you can do incremental
582upgrades of either by using the 'quickworld' and 'quickkernel' targets
583instead of 'buildworld' and 'buildkernel'.  If you have any problems with
584the quick targets, try updating your repo first, and then a full buildworld
585and buildkernel as shown above, before asking for help.

588+         UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 2.0 TO DRAGONFLY >= 2.1		+
589+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
590
591In 2.1 kernel and modules has moved to boot directory.  For most cases
592this is handled automatically by 'make upgrade'.  A few cases needs manual
593intervention:
594
595 * When installing a kernel without first doing a make buildworld,
596   installworld and upgrade to the same DESTDIR as kernel:
597   make DESTDIR/boot directory and move kernel and modules into this boot
598   directory; also move kernel.old and modules.old.
599   Typical example is vkernel(7), use (no modules used):
600
601	cd /var/vkernel
602	mkdir boot
603	chflags noschg kernel
604	mv kernel kernel.old boot
605	chflags schg boot/kernel
606
607 * When using a boot-only partition, /boot/loader.rc needs to be edited:
608   delete occurrences of '/boot/'.
609   These occurences can normally be deleted in any case, see loader(8).

612+         UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 1.8 TO DRAGONFLY >= 1.9		+
613+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
614
615In 1.9 major changes to the disk management infrastructure have taken
616place.  make upgrade may not catch all of your disk devices in /dev,
617so after upgrading be sure to cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV <blah> where <blah>
618are all of your disk devices.  HOWEVER, from late 2.3 on we run devfs
619and MAKEDEV no longer exists.
620
621The biggest changes in 1.9 are:
622
623(1) That whole-slice devices such as da0s1 no longer share the same device
624    id as partition c devices such as da0s1c.
625
626(2) The whole-disk device (e.g. da0) is full raw access to the disk,
627    with no snooping or reserved sectors.  Consequently you cannot run
628    disklabel on this device.  Instead you must run disklabel on a
629    whole-slice device.
630
631(3) The 'compatibility' partitions now use slice 0 in the device name,
632    so instead of da0a you must specify da0s0a.  Also, as per (1) above,
633    accessing the disklabel for the compatibility partitions must be
634    done via slice 0 (da0s0).
635
636(4) Many device drivers that used to fake up labels, such as CD, ACD, VN,
637    and CCD now run through the disk management layer and are assigned
638    real disk management devices.   VN and CCD in particular do not usually
639    use a MBR and disklabels must be accessed through the compatibility
640    slice 0.  Your /etc/ccd.conf file still specifies 'ccd0', though, you
641    don't name it 'ccd0s0' in the config file.
642
643Generally speaking, you have to get used to running fdisk and disklabel on
644the correctly specified device names.  A lot of the wiggle, such as running
645disklabel on a partition, has been removed.

651> Kerberos IV
652-------------
653
654Kerberos IV (eBones) was removed from the tree, please consider moving to
655Kerberos 5 (Heimdal).
656
657> Package Management System
658---------------------------
659
660Starting with the 1.4 release, DragonFly uses NetBSD's pkgsrc package
661management system.  The necessary tools to build and maintain packages
662are provided in /usr/pkg/bin and /usr/pkg/sbin.  Make sure that these
663directories are in your PATH variable.
664
665In order to obtain a reasonably current snapshot of the pkgsrc tree, use
666the tarball from NetBSD:
667
668	fetch -o /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc.tar.gz
669	cd /usr; tar -xzf /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz; chown -R root:wheel pkgsrc
670
671This tree can then be kept up to date with cvs update:
672
673	cd /usr/pkgsrc; cvs up
674
675NOTE! If you upgraded from a pre-1.4 system to 1.4 or later, you need to
676build and install the pkgsrc bootstrap manually:
677
678	cd /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap
679	./bootstrap --pkgdbdir /var/db/pkg --prefix /usr/pkg

686
687The compatibility shims for the build environment have been removed, you
688have to update to DragonFly 1.2 release branch first.
689
690The default PAM configuration has moved from /etc/pam.conf to /etc/pam.d/.
691The existing configuration can be converted using /etc/pam.d/convert.sh.
692Entries in /etc/pam.d/ override entries in /etc/pam.conf. In addition
693the pam_skey.so module was retired, you have to remove it manually from
694your configuration, when you convert it.
695
696> Required user and group IDs when upgrading from either FreeBSD or DragonFly
697---------------------
698
699The following users may be missing from your password file.  Use vipw and
700add any that are missing:

712
713> Upgrading to DragonFly from FreeBSD
714---------------------
715
716You can build the DragonFly world and DragonFly kernels on a FreeBSD-4.x or
717FreeBSD-5.x machine and then install DragonFly over FreeBSD, replacing
718FreeBSD.  Note that the DragonFly buildworld target does not try to reuse
719make depend information, it starts from scratch, so no pre-cleaning of the
720object hierarchy is necessary.
721
722	# get the CVS repository (it is placed in /home/dcvs, 500MB).
723	# Please use the -h option and a mirror site to pull the
724	# initial repository, but feel free to use the main repository
725	# machine to pull updates.
726	cvsup /usr/share/examples/cvsup/DragonFly-cvs-supfile
727	# install the source from the CVS hierarchy (remove preexisting
728	# FreeBSD src first) (500MB)
729	cd /usr
730	rm -rf src
731	cvs -R -d /home/dcvs checkout -P src
732
733	# build it (500MB used in /usr/obj)
734	#
735	cd /usr/src
736	make buildworld
737	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
738
739Once you have built DragonFly you have to install it over FreeBSD.  Since
740DragonFly does not track changes made by FreeBSD to its include file
741hierarchy and include file pollution can cause all sorts of unexpected
742compilation issues to come up, it is best to wipe your include hierarchy
743prior to installing DragonFly.  Note that you should not wipe any installed
744FreeBSD header files or binaries until after you have successfully completed
745the build steps above.
746
747	rm -rf /usr/include
748	mkdir /usr/include
749	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
750	make installworld
751
752Then you need to upgrade your system.  DragonFly's 'make upgrade' target
753will unconditionally upgrade the /etc files that sysops do not usually
754mess around with, such as the files in /etc/rc.d.  It will also remove any
755obsolete files such as utilities and manpages that have been removed from
756the system since the version you're coming from.  If you are unsure we
757recommend that you make a backup of at least your /etc before applying
758this step.  Note that DragonFly's RC system is basically RCNG from
759FreeBSD-5, but there are some differences in the contents of the RC files.
760
761	make upgrade
762
763NOTE! Never do a 'make upgrade' before 'make installworld' has been run.
764Doing so might leave your system in an unusable state.
765
766Finally we recommend that you do an 'ls -lta BLAH' for /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin,
767/usr/bin, and /usr/lib, and remove any stale files that you find.  Please
768report these files to the DragonFly developers so that they can be added to
769the 'upgrade' target.
