15MORE ISA SUPPORT DROPPED
16------------------------
17
18ISA support has been dropped from the following drivers: adv(4), an(4),
19ar(4), cs(4), digi(4), ed(4), ep(4), ex(4), fe(4), lnc(4), sbni(4),
20si(4), sn(4), and stg(4).

26ABI CHANGE
27----------
28
29Installed third-party software (dports) will have to be rebuilt after upgrade,
30or reinstalled from binary packages.
31
32UPDATING FROM 3.4 TO 3.6
33------------------------
34
35This only applies for this specific upgrade due to locale changes; it is
36not needed for upgrades after 3.6.  Please update in this order:
37
38make buildworld
39make buildkernel
40make installworld
41make installkernel
42*reboot*
43make upgrade

47
48CYRIX OPTIONS REMOVED
49---------------------
50
51The following Cyrix related options have been removed: CPU_BTB_EN,
52CPU_CYRIX_NO_LOCK, CPU_DIRECT_MAPPED_CACHE, CPU_DISABLE_5X86_LSSER,
53CPU_FASTER_5X86_FPU, CPU_IORT, CPU_LOOP_EN, CPU_RSTK_EN, CPU_SUSP_HLT,
54CYRIX_CACHE_WORKS, and CYRIX_CACHE_REALLY_WORKS
55
56ISA SUPPORT REMOVED FROM RP(4)
57------------------------------
58
59ISA support has been removed from the rp(4) driver. It is now PCI only.
60
61+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
62+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.2 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
63+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
64
65COMPAT_SUNOS OPTION REMOVED
66---------------------------
67
68The COMPAT_SUNOS option has been removed. It was meant to provide binary
69compatibility with SunOS 4.x for the sparc32 port of 4.4BSD.
70
71ISA SOUND CARD SUPPORT REMOVED
72------------------------------
73
74The following modules have been removed (all for ISA sound cards):
75snd_ad1816.ko, snd_ess.ko, snd_mss.ko, snd_sb8.ko, snd_sb16.ko, snd_sbc.ko
76
77GCC 4.7
78-------
79
80DragonFly has switched base compilers.  GCC 4.7 is now the default
81compiler and GCC 4.4 is the alternative compiler.  The "NO_GCC47" make
82variable ceases to work now.
83
84Users who wish to build only GCC 4.7 have to use NO_GCC44 in the
85/etc/make.conf to prohibit GCC 4.4 from building.  However, using it is
86highly discouraged.  There are a few packages in pkgsrc that do not build
87with GCC 4.7 and the new "DPorts" system uses GCC 4.4 by default.  At
88this time, it is recommended to keep both compilers on the base system.
89
90SMP OPTION REMOVED
91------------------
92
93The SMP kernel option has been made a no-op. All kernels now feature SMP
94support. If you have 'options SMP' in your kernel config, you can as well
95remove it.
96
97DEVICE_POLLING OPTION REPLACED BY IFPOLL_ENABLE OPTION, KTR_POLLING REMOVED
98---------------------------------------------------------------------------
99
100The DEVICE_POLLING kernel option has been made a no-op and it has been
101replaced by IFPOLL_ENABLE.  If you have 'options DEVICE_POLLING' in your
102kernel config, you need to change it to IFPOLL_ENABLE.
103
104Also, the KTR_POLLING kernel option has been removed, so it must be
105removed from kernel configs that have it.
106
107BUSLOGIC, CYCLADES AND STALLION ISA SUPPORT REMOVED
108---------------------------------------------------
109
110The bt(4) driver for Buslogic SCSI adapters has been made PCI only. ISA
111cards will no longer be detected.
112
113The same has been done for Stallion multiport serial controllers. stli(4)
114has been completely removed (along with the stlload(8) and stlstty(8)
115utilities) and stl(4) was changed to support only PCI cards. Similarly,
116ISA support was removed from cy(4) too. All these drivers are i386 only.
117
118COMPAT_OLDISA OPTION GONE
119-------------------------
120
121The i386 specific COMPAT_OLDISA kernel option has been removed, since
122nothing needs it anymore.
123
124+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
125+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.0 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
126+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
127
128APIC_IO OPTION REMOVED
129----------------------
130
131The APIC_IO kernel option is no longer accepted after having been without
132effect for a while. The hw.ioapic_enable tunable now serves its purpose.
133If you have 'options APIC_IO' in your kernel config, you'll have to
134remove it.
135
136WATCHDOG_ENABLE & HW_WDOG OPTIONS REMOVED
137-----------------------------------------
138
139The wdog framework is now compiled into our kernels by default, so the
140options are no longer needed.
141
142DOSCMD(1) REMOVED
143-----------------
144
145doscmd(1) has been removed. It was i386 only. The doscmd(1) specific
146NO_X make.conf option was removed too.
147
148GCC 4.7
149-------
150
151GCC 4.7 has been brought in and replaces GCC 4.1 as DragonFly's non-
152default compiler in base (default is still GCC 4.4).
153
154Users who wish to build only GCC 4.4 have to replace NO_GCC41 with
155NO_GCC47 in /etc/make.conf.
156
157USB4BSD
158-------
159
160A new USB stack (from FreeBSD) has been brought in. The following
161modules have been ported so far: usb, uhci, ohci, ehci, xhci, umass,
162usfs, uether, if_axe, if_udav, ukbd, ums, uep, uhid, usb_quirk,
163and uaudio.
164
165It is not yet the default. To activate it, WANT_USB4BSD=yes has to
166be put in make.conf and device "usb4bsd" (quotes needed) has to
167replace device usb in the kernel config. After that, a full
168build/install/upgrade cycle is needed.
169
170Note that this is experimental and incomplete, but we are interested
171in hearing about issues with it, of course.
172
173ISA SUPPORT REMOVED FROM AIC-6260/6360 DRIVER
174---------------------------------------------
175
176ISA adapter support was dropped from the aic(4) driver.
177
178+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
179+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.10 TO LATER VERSIONS               +
180+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
181
182SEVERAL ISA DRIVERS REMOVED
183---------------------------
184
185The following ISA only drivers have been removed along with a couple of
186associated userland tools:
187
188aha(4)
189asc(4) & sasc(1)
190ctx
191dgb(4)
192el(4)
193gpib
194gsc(4) & sgsc(1)
195ie(4)
196labpc(4)
197le(4)
198mse(4)
199rc(4)
200rdp(4)
201spigot
202tw(4) & xten(1) & xtend(8)
203wl(4) & wlconfig(8)
204wt(4)
205
206Note that two of these drivers (aha(4) and ie(4)) are in our GENERIC
207config and one (aha(4)) is in our X86_64_GENERIC kernel configuration
208file.
209
210If buildkernel complains about any of these drivers, just remove them
211from your kernel configuration.
212
213BINUTILS 2.20
214-------------
215Binutils 2.20 has been removed in favor of Binutils 2.22.  The accepted
216values of BINUTILSVERS are now binutils221 and binutils222 (default).
217
218BUILDWORLD/-KERNEL PARALLELIZATION WORK
219---------------------------------------
220Due to changes in the way we build with more than one make job, you
221will have to update install(1) and mkdir(1) prior to buildworld if you
222want to build with 'make -j':
223
224cd /usr/src/usr.bin/xinstall; make; make install; make clean
225cd /usr/src/bin/mkdir; make; make install; make clean
226
227DMA(8) UPGRADE
228--------------
229dma(8) has been upgraded to v0.7 which no longer supports the
230/etc/dma/virtusertable. Some of its functionality has been replaced
231with the MASQUERADE keyword and the EMAIL environment variable (see
232the dma(8) manual page).
233
234+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
235+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.8 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
236+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
237
238GCC 4.4 & BINUTILS 2.21
239-----------------------
240
241GCC 4.4 has been made DragonFly's default compiler and Binutils 2.21 has
242been made DragonFly's default Binutils.
243
244That means that any settings that set CCVER to 'gcc44' are not needed
245anymore. Instead, CCVER can be set to 'gcc41' to go back to using
246GCC 4.1.
247
248It also means that 'binutils221' as a value for BINUTILSVER has no
249effect anymore. 2.17 has been removed and 'binutils220' is available
250as an option.
251
252The NO_GCC44 option has been removed and will not affect the build
253anymore. There is now a NO_GCC41 option that will prevent GCC 4.1 from
254building in a similar fashion.
255
256Note that you must do a full buildworld/buildkernel for upgrading.
257
258pkg_radd settings
259-----------------
260
261The config file for pkg_radd has moved from /etc/settings.conf to
262/etc/pkg_radd.conf.  Save the contents of settings.conf before upgrading
263if this is needed.  This warning only applies if /etc/settings.conf
264exists.  pkg_radd will continue to work with defaults.
265
266+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
267+         20100927							+
268+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.6 to 2.8 or HEAD			+
269+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
270
271OpenSSL
272--------
273
274OpenSSL has been upgraded, and SHLIB_MAJOR was bumped for libssh and libcrypto.
275This shouldn't break any 3rd-party software, but you'll need to recompile your
2763rd-party software if you want it to link against the new version of OpenSSL.
277
278Loader
279-------
280
281A new loader (dloader) has been added which better handles booting from
282multiple kernel/module versions.
283
284To upgrade (Only for this upgrade, for post 2.8 upgrades see GENERAL below)
285
286	cd /usr/src
287	make buildworld
288	make installworld
289	make upgrade
290	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
291	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
292
293Note that you must installworld and run the 'upgrade' target before
294installing the new kernel.
295
296BIND
297-----
298
299BIND has been removed from the base system.  The ldns and drill tools have
300been added for basic functionality.  Use 'drill' where you would normally
301use nslookup or dig, or install BIND from pkgsrc.  It's available as
302net/bind95, net/bind96, or net/bind97 as of this writing.
303
304This only affects older systems upgrading to 2.8.  New 2.8+ installs
305include BIND as a pkgsrc package.
306
307+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
308+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY ON AN EXISTING DRAGONFLY SYSTEM		+
309+				GENERAL					+
310+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
311
312Instructions on how to obtain and maintain DragonFly source code using git
313are in the development(7) manual page.
314
315To upgrade a DragonFly system from sources you run the following sequence:
316
317	cd /usr/src
318	make buildworld
319	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
320	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
321	make installworld
322
323You will also want to run the 'upgrade' target to upgrade your /etc and the
324rest of your system.  The upgrade target is aware of stale files created by
325older DragonFly installations and should delete them automatically.
326
327	make upgrade
328
329See the build(7) manual page for further information.
330
331Once you've done a full build of the world and kernel you can do incremental
332upgrades of either by using the 'quickworld' and 'quickkernel' targets
333instead of 'buildworld' and 'buildkernel'.  If you have any problems with
334the quick targets, try updating your repo first, and then a full buildworld
335and buildkernel as shown above, before asking for help.
336
337+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
338+         UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 2.0 TO DRAGONFLY >= 2.1		+
339+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
340
341In 2.1 kernel and modules has moved to boot directory.  For most cases
342this is handled automatically by 'make upgrade'.  A few cases needs manual
343intervention:
344
345 * When installing a kernel without first doing a make buildworld,
346   installworld and upgrade to the same DESTDIR as kernel:
347   make DESTDIR/boot directory and move kernel and modules into this boot
348   directory; also move kernel.old and modules.old.
349   Typical example is vkernel(7), use (no modules used):
350
351	cd /var/vkernel
352	mkdir boot
353	chflags noschg kernel
354	mv kernel kernel.old boot
355	chflags schg boot/kernel
356
357 * When using a boot-only partition, /boot/loader.rc needs to be edited:
358   delete occurrences of '/boot/'.
359   These occurences can normally be deleted in any case, see loader(8).
360
361+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
362+         UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 1.8 TO DRAGONFLY >= 1.9		+
363+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
364
365In 1.9 major changes to the disk management infrastructure have taken
366place.  make upgrade may not catch all of your disk devices in /dev,
367so after upgrading be sure to cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV <blah> where <blah>
368are all of your disk devices.  HOWEVER, from late 2.3 on we run devfs
369and MAKEDEV no longer exists.
370
371The biggest changes in 1.9 are:
372
373(1) That whole-slice devices such as da0s1 no longer share the same device
374    id as partition c devices such as da0s1c.
375
376(2) The whole-disk device (e.g. da0) is full raw access to the disk,
377    with no snooping or reserved sectors.  Consequently you cannot run
378    disklabel on this device.  Instead you must run disklabel on a
379    whole-slice device.
380
381(3) The 'compatibility' partitions now use slice 0 in the device name,
382    so instead of da0a you must specify da0s0a.  Also, as per (1) above,
383    accessing the disklabel for the compatibility partitions must be
384    done via slice 0 (da0s0).
385
386(4) Many device drivers that used to fake up labels, such as CD, ACD, VN,
387    and CCD now run through the disk management layer and are assigned
388    real disk management devices.   VN and CCD in particular do not usually
389    use a MBR and disklabels must be accessed through the compatibility
390    slice 0.  Your /etc/ccd.conf file still specifies 'ccd0', though, you
391    don't name it 'ccd0s0' in the config file.
392
393Generally speaking, you have to get used to running fdisk and disklabel on
394the correctly specified device names.  A lot of the wiggle, such as running
395disklabel on a partition, has been removed.
396

398+         UPGRADING FROM OLDER VERSIONS OF DRAGONFLY OR FREEBSD		+
399+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
400
401> Kerberos IV
402-------------
403
404Kerberos IV (eBones) was removed from the tree, please consider moving to
405Kerberos 5 (Heimdal).
406
407> Package Management System
408---------------------------
409
410Starting with the 1.4 release, DragonFly uses NetBSD's pkgsrc package
411management system.  The necessary tools to build and maintain packages
412are provided in /usr/pkg/bin and /usr/pkg/sbin.  Make sure that these
413directories are in your PATH variable.
414
415In order to obtain a reasonably current snapshot of the pkgsrc tree, use
416the tarball from NetBSD:
417
418	fetch -o /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc.tar.gz
419	cd /usr; tar -xzf /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz; chown -R root:wheel pkgsrc
420
421This tree can then be kept up to date with cvs update:
422
423	cd /usr/pkgsrc; cvs up
424
425NOTE! If you upgraded from a pre-1.4 system to 1.4 or later, you need to
426build and install the pkgsrc bootstrap manually:
427
428	cd /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap
429	./bootstrap --pkgdbdir /var/db/pkg --prefix /usr/pkg

433+         UPDATING FROM PRE-1.2 SYSTEMS OR FreeBSD 4.x TO               +
434+         DRAGONFLY 1.3+ (EITHER PREVIEW or HEAD)                       +
435+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
436
437The compatibility shims for the build environment have been removed, you
438have to update to DragonFly 1.2 release branch first.
439
440The default PAM configuration has moved from /etc/pam.conf to /etc/pam.d/.
441The existing configuration can be converted using /etc/pam.d/convert.sh.
442Entries in /etc/pam.d/ override entries in /etc/pam.conf. In addition
443the pam_skey.so module was retired, you have to remove it manually from
444your configuration, when you convert it.
445
446> Required user and group IDs when upgrading from either FreeBSD or DragonFly
447---------------------
448
449The following users may be missing from your password file.  Use vipw and
450add any that are missing:
451
452smmsp:*:25:25::0:0:Sendmail Submission User:/var/spool/clientmqueue:/sbin/nologin
453_pflogd:*:64:64::0:0:pflogd privsep user:/var/empty:/sbin/nologin
454
455The following groups may be missing from your group file.  Use vi /etc/group
456and add any that are missing:
457
458smmsp:*:25:
459authpf:*:63:
460_pflogd:*:64:
461
462
463> Upgrading to DragonFly from FreeBSD
464---------------------
465
466You can build the DragonFly world and DragonFly kernels on a FreeBSD-4.x or
467FreeBSD-5.x machine and then install DragonFly over FreeBSD, replacing
468FreeBSD.  Note that the DragonFly buildworld target does not try to reuse
469make depend information, it starts from scratch, so no pre-cleaning of the
470object hierarchy is necessary.
471
472	# get the CVS repository (it is placed in /home/dcvs, 500MB).
473	# Please use the -h option and a mirror site to pull the
474	# initial repository, but feel free to use the main repository
475	# machine to pull updates.
476	cvsup /usr/share/examples/cvsup/DragonFly-cvs-supfile
477	# install the source from the CVS hierarchy (remove preexisting
478	# FreeBSD src first) (500MB)
479	cd /usr
480	rm -rf src
481	cvs -R -d /home/dcvs checkout -P src
482
483	# build it (500MB used in /usr/obj)
484	#
485	cd /usr/src
486	make buildworld
487	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
488
489Once you have built DragonFly you have to install it over FreeBSD.  Since
490DragonFly does not track changes made by FreeBSD to its include file
491hierarchy and include file pollution can cause all sorts of unexpected
492compilation issues to come up, it is best to wipe your include hierarchy
493prior to installing DragonFly.  Note that you should not wipe any installed
494FreeBSD header files or binaries until after you have successfully completed
495the build steps above.
496
497	rm -rf /usr/include
498	mkdir /usr/include
499	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
500	make installworld
501
502Then you need to upgrade your system.  DragonFly's 'make upgrade' target
503will unconditionally upgrade the /etc files that sysops do not usually
504mess around with, such as the files in /etc/rc.d.  It will also remove any
505obsolete files such as utilities and manpages that have been removed from
506the system since the version you're coming from.  If you are unsure we
507recommend that you make a backup of at least your /etc before applying
508this step.  Note that DragonFly's RC system is basically RCNG from
509FreeBSD-5, but there are some differences in the contents of the RC files.
510
511	make upgrade
512
513NOTE! Never do a 'make upgrade' before 'make installworld' has been run.
514Doing so might leave your system in an unusable state.
515
516Finally we recommend that you do an 'ls -lta BLAH' for /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin,
517/usr/bin, and /usr/lib, and remove any stale files that you find.  Please
518report these files to the DragonFly developers so that they can be added to
519the 'upgrade' target.
520
521
