15LIBOPIE, LIBMD REMOVED
16----------------------
17
18Removal of OPIE requires /etc/pam.d/ configs to be updated.

23
24GCC50 REMOVED
25-------------
26
27The GCC50 compiler has been retired.  It has been replaced by a GCC80.
28The default alternative compiler has stayed the same - GCC47.
29
30
31PUFFS, PUTTER AND LIBREFUSE REMOVED
32-----------------------------------
33
34The puffs(4)/putter(4) subsystem has been removed, along with librefuse,
35libpuffs, and the mount_psshfs(8) utility. All of these have never been
36working correctly.
37
38FFS_ROOT OPTION REMOVED
39-----------------------
40
41The FFS_ROOT kernel configuration option has been finally removed, after
42having been a no-op since 4.9. That means users using a custom kernel
43configuration file that still contains it need to remove the option from
44that file.

48+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
49
50DIGI, RP AND SI DRIVERS REMOVED
51-------------------------------
52
53The digi(4), rp(4) and si(4) serial drivers have been removed. None of
54them were in our default kernel configuration file. The sicontrol(8)
55utility was removed, too.
56
57MKINITRD COMMAND REMOVED
58------------------------
59
60The mkinitrd(8) command is removed and its functionality is replaced by
61the new "initrd" make target.  After rebooting into the new world and
62verifying everything works, execute "make initrd" to upgrade the rescue
63tools and initrd image.
64
65IPSEC, IPSEC_ESP AND IPSEC_DEBUG REMOVED FROM VKERNEL64 CONFIG
66--------------------------------------------------------------
67
68IPsec has been removed from the system. Of our standard kernel
69configurations, only the virtual kernel one had it. People running
70vkernels with configuration files derived from our VKERNEL64 will
71have to remove these options manually.
72
73+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
74+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 5.0 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
75+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
76
77VIRTIO_PCI REMOVED FROM KERNEL CONFIG
78-------------------------------------
79
80The "device virtio_pci" line in X86_64_GENERIC has been removed. People
81with configuration files derived from it have to remove it manually.
82
83VARIOUS 'R' COMMANDS AND DAEMONS REMOVED
84----------------------------------------
85
86rcp(1), rlogin(1), rlogind(8), rsh(1) and rshd(8) have been removed.
87For those that still need them, there is the net/bsdrcmds port.
88
89VARIOUS FORMER OPTIONS REMOVED
90------------------------------
91
92Various former kernel configuration options which had been no-ops for
93some time were completely removed: SYSVMSG, SYSVSEM, SYSVSHM, P1003_1B,
94_KPOSIX_VERSION and DSCHED_FQ. Users that have any of these still in
95their kernel configuration files have to remove them.
96
97BOOTSTRAPPING LIMITED FROM PRE 4.4
98----------------------------------
99
100Upgrading to 5.1 and later versions now require at least 4.4 in
101preparations for upcoming base compilers updates.
102
103IF_PPP, PPPD, IF_FAITH, AND FAITHD REMOVED
104------------------------------------------
105
106if_ppp has been replaced by "user ppp", i.e. ppp(8) and tun(4). It had
107already been removed from our default kernel configuration before 5.0,
108so only people with custom configurations based on earlier X86_64_GENERIC
109will have to remove it manually.
110
111The faith(4) interface has been completely removed after it had also
112been removed from our default kernel configuration.
113
114+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
115+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 4.8 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
116+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
117
118FFS_ROOT OPTION DISABLED
119------------------------
120
121The FFS_ROOT option has been made a no-op and will be completely removed
122at some point in the future. Users with a custom kernel configuration
123can remove this option from it now.
124
125+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
126+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 4.6 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
127+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
128
129DSA OPENSSH KEYS DEPRECATED
130---------------------------
131
132Note that DSA OpenSSH keys were deprecated in the 4.6 to 4.8 release.
133If you are upgrading from a release older than 4.8 and use DSA OpenSSH
134keys, please update your private/public key pair or risk locking
135yourself out.
136
137AHC, AHD, AIC, NCV, NSP AND STG DRIVERS REMOVED
138-----------------------------------------------
139
140They were all in our X86_64_GENERIC kernel configuration file, along with
141the AHC_REG_PRETTY_PRINT and AHD_REG_PRETTY_PRINT options, so any custom
142configuration files derived from it need adjustment.
143
144PORTAL FILE SYSTEM REMOVED
145--------------------------
146
147It has been broken for a long time now.
148
149BINUTILS 2.27 REPLACES 2.24, PRIMARY
150------------------------------------
151
152The oldest of the two versions of Binutils, version 2.24, was removed
153and replaced with Binutils 2.27.  It becomes the primary version version
154of binutils and version 2.25 becomes the alternate.
155
156The accepted values of BINUTILSVER are now "binutils227" (default) and
157"binutils225".  The building of Binutils 2.25 can be prevented by setting
158NO_ALTBINUTILS=yes in make.conf.
159
160COMPAT_43 KERNEL OPTION REMOVED
161-------------------------------
162
163It was commented out in our default configs for several years now, but
164might still be present in custom configs created before Nov. 2011.
165
166OPENSSL REMOVED
167---------------
168
169OpenSSL has been removed from base and replaced with a private version of
170LibreSSL.  The previously installed OpenSSL libraries, headers, and man
171pages will remain on the system unless the "make upgrade" command is
172specifically instructed to remove them.  To do this, define
173REMOVE_OPENSSL_FILES for the upgrade command, e.g.
174"make upgrade REMOVE_OPENSSL_FILES=yes"
175
17628-Oct-2016: openssl has been replaced by ressl.  It is recommended that any
177stale OpenSSL files be removed to avoid configuration scripts from using
178the stale and potentially vulnerable version, but all binaries that are
179dynamically linked to the OpenSSL libraries should be rebuilt first to
180avoid breakage.
181
182OPENSSH HPN REMOVED
183-------------------
184
185It has become too cumbersome to maintain HPN patches in OpenSSH in base.
186To use OpenSSH in base remove HPN config, if you have added it.
187Check files below for HPN config, see a few lines below.
188  /etc/ssh/ssh_config, /etc/ssh/sshd_config, ~/.ssh/config
189sshd(8) will fail to start if HPN config is used.
190
191NOTE: HPN config in sshd_config will prohibit remote access to host using ssh.
192
193HPN config:
194HPNDisabled
195HPNBufferSize
196TcpRcvBuf
197TcpRcvBufPoll
198NoneEnabled
199NoneSwitch
200cipher MTR-AES-CTR
201cipher NONE
202
203OpenSSH HPN is a patch set to OpenSSH providing higher performance under some
204circumstances, especially for networking.
205If HPN functionality is needed, install security/openssh from dports.
206
207CS, EX AND VX DRIVERS REMOVED
208-----------------------------
209
210The cs(4), ex(4) and vx(4) drivers have been removed. They were very
211old and its doubtful they ever worked properly in x86_64 but they were
212in X86_64_GENERIC, so custom configurations derived from it have to be
213adjusted.
214
215+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
216+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 4.4 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
217+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
218
219AMD REMOVED
220-----------
221
222The am-utils automounter suite has been removed. It stopped working
223at some point and was never fixed. autofs(5) and the associated
224userland has been brought in from FreeBSD and replaces it.
225
226AN DRIVER REMOVED
227-----------------
228
229The an(4) driver has been removed. It was in the X86_64_GENERIC kernel
230config file, so any configurations derived from it have to be adjusted.
231
232/DEV/DRI GROUP CHANGED
233----------------------
234
235The default group assigned to /dev/dri entries has been changed
236from 'wheel' to 'video' with the id of '44'. If you want to have
237access to the dri devices please add yourself to the video group
238with:
239
240# pw groupmod video -m $USER

244+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
245
246DSCHED REMOVED
247--------------
248
249dsched(4) has been removed and one of its kernel options, DSCHED_FQ, was
250in our default kernel config file. So the DSCHED_FQ option has been turned
251into a no-op for now and can be removed from custom configurations.
252
253EST DRIVER REMOVED, COMPILE_ET AND LIBCOM_ERR TOO
254-------------------------------------------------
255
256The est(4) driver has been removed. All CPUs it supported (except one)
257were 32 bits only. Those who are still using the Core 2 Duo T7500 should
258report back if there are any issues with this CPU and our regular ACPI
259P-state support.
260
261Also, compile_et(1) and com_err(3) have been removed as well. They
262should have been removed along with kerberos support, back in 2009.
263
264SEVERAL LOCALES RENAMED
265-----------------------
266
267Several locales were using obsolete and misleading names, and thus have
268been adjusted to current standards. Any users of the following locales
269need to select alternates:
270
271DFLY 4.2 locale            DFLY 4.4 alterative locale

293
294BINUTILS 2.25 REPLACES 2.22, PRIMARY
295------------------------------------
296
297The oldest of the two versions of Binutils, version 2.22, was removed
298and replaced with Binutils 2.25.  It becomes the primary version version
299of binutils and version 2.24 becomes the alternate.  There are 8 current
300CVE written against 2.24, so for security reasons version 2.25 should
301always be used.
302
303The accepted values of BINUTILSVER are now "binutils225" (default) and
304"binutils224".  The building of Binutils 2.24 can be prevented by setting
305NO_ALTBINUTILS=yes in make.conf.
306
307LOADER OPTIONS CHANGED
308----------------------
309
310Right after the development branch started, the Fred art accompanying the
311loader menu was improved.  The line between Fred and the menu was removed
312by default (but can optionally be returned) and the placement shifted as
313a result.  The drawing was improved, and the colored version was improved,
314changing the eyes and wing color from white to red.  A new color version
315of Fred was added, one with a blue scheme.
316
317The loader menu defaults have changed since release 4.0:  The vertical
318line was removed, the loader is displayed in color by default*, and the
319blue scheme is used.
320
321The loader.conf changes are:
322loader_color:   option has been removed
323loader_plain:   option has been added, it changed menu to monochrome
324fred_is_red:    changes color scheme from blue to red
325fred_is_blue:   option existed only on 4.1, it has been removed
326fred_separated: Adds line between Fred and menu (as seen previously)
327
328* If loader.conf defines "console" as "comconsole" or "console" is defined
329  in the environment as "comconsole" then color will not be displayed,
330  even if loader_plain value is "NO".
331
332SENDMAIL REMOVED FROM BASE
333--------------------------
334
335The only Mail Transfer Agent provided now is DragonFly Mail Agent (dma).
336If the system being upgraded is still configured to use the sendmail
337binaries from base, the "make upgrade" command will fail.
338
339The administrator must change /etc/mail/mailer.conf to switch the
340mailwrapper to dma or a DPorts-based MTA prior to running the upgrade
341command that permanently removes sendmail executables and could
342potentially break a running mail server.
343
344Refer: http://www.dragonflybsd.com/docs/docs/newhandbook/mta/ for
345detailed instructions on how to configure the MTA selection.
346
347_KPOSIX_VERSION and P1003_1B OPTIONS REMOVED
348--------------------------------------------
349
350The _KPOSIX_VERSION and P1003_1B kernel options have been changed to
351no-ops. They can be removed from custom kernel configurations.
352
353SOUND SYSTEM UPDATED FROM FreeBSD 11-CURRENT
354--------------------------------------------
355
356Many more sound devices may be detected.
357
358If the default device choosen isn't to your liking, setting the sysctl
359hw.snd.default_unit to a different number will change it.
360
361SCTP SUPPORT DROPPED
362--------------------
363
364Support for the SCTP protocol has been removed.
365
366OLD USB DRIVERS REMOVED
367-----------------------
368
369The old USB stack, along with the kernel config option "device oldusb"
370and the make.conf variable "WANT_OLDUSB" have been removed. This means
371that for custom kernel configuration files which were derived from a
372GENERIC or X86_64_GENERIC file prior to making the usb4bsd stack default,
373various (old USB stack specific) devices will now complain about being
374unknown:
375
376  * oldusb	(obviously)
377  * natausb	(not yet ported to usb4bsd)
378  * rue		(not yet ported to usb4bsd)
379  * ugen	(no longer needed in usb4bsd)
380  * urio	(not yet ported to usb4bsd)
381  * uscanner	(no longer needed in usb4bsd)
382
383They should be removed or commented out in such custom kernel configs.
384
385GCC 5
386-----
387
388The GCC 4.4 compiler has been retired.  It has been replaced by a GCC 5.1.
389The following make.conf variables no longer work: NO_GCC44, NO_OBJC, and
390NO_CXX.  The latter was never documented and the latest versions of GCC are
391partially written in C++ so a C++ compiler is no longer optional.  In
392practical terms it has not been optional for many years as other base
393components are also written in C++.  The resource savings by avoiding
394building Objective-C compiler is so small, the complexity added by NO_OBJC
395internally was deemed a bad tradeoff so that is the reason for its removal.
396Also note that no "info" pages are installed with GCC 5.  After this entry
397was originally written, all info pages were removed from DragonFly.
398
399GCC 5.1 has been designated as the primary compiler.  As such, there is a
400new make.conf variable, NO_ALTCOMPILER.  It will block the rebuilding of
401the designated secondary compiler, GCC 4.7.  However, while DPorts
402primarily uses GCC 5 to build ports now, it still uses GCC 4.7 as well, so
403if building ports from source is desired, don't block building of the
404secondary compiler.

409
410SMP AND DEVICE_POLLING OPTIONS MADE UNKNOWN
411-------------------------------------------
412
413DEVICE_POLLING was replaced by IFPOLL_ENABLE and the former SMP code is
414the default now (even on single-core systems), both for, like, 21 months.
415We kept the options around as no-ops as a convenience, to allow people
416using the same config for the then current release and the then current
417master. That period is now over, so any configs still having those
418options have to be adjusted.
419
420SYSVIPC SYSCALLS MADE NON-OPTIONAL
421----------------------------------
422
423The code related to the SYSVMSG, SYSVSEM and SYSVSHM kernel options is
424now compiled in by default. The options are no-ops for now.
425
426DEFAULT DRIVER CHANGED FOR LSI "THUNDERBOLT" SERIES RAID CONTROLLERS
427--------------------------------------------------------------------
428
429The default driver for those controllers is now mrsas(4) due to reports
430of file system corruption using the mfi(4) driver. The whole issue (and
431how to deal with potential problems when switching) was explained here:
432
433http://lists.dragonflybsd.org/pipermail/users/2014-July/128703.html
434
435A tunable is provided for letting those controllers still attach via
436the mfi(4) driver, hw.mrsas.mfi_enable (see mrsas(4) manual page).
437
438OLDER NETWORK DRIVERS MOVED TO I386 ONLY
439----------------------------------------
440
441The following drivers have been made i386 only: ed(4), sr(4), ng_sync_ar
442and ng_sync_sr. ed(4) used to be in X86_64_GENERIC, so it has to be
443removed in kernel configs derived from X86_64_GENERIC.

449UPDATE FROM MOST RECENT 3.6
450---------------------------
451
452Versions of 3.6 built before June 25th have a bug where installworld might
453crash during installation of the new initrd.  Upgrade to the latest version
454of 3.6 before updating to 3.8 or later.
455
456ATM, IPX, NCP AND NWFS SUPPORT DROPPED
457--------------------------------------
458
459Support for the IPX and NCP network protocols and for mouting NetWare
460file systems has been dropped. Dito for ATM protocol support.
461
462INITRD IMAGES NOW INSTALLED BY DEFAULT
463--------------------------------------
464
465An initial ramdisk image is now installed in /boot/kernel/initrd.img.gz
466
467Older images installed under the file name of initrd.img will be removed
468automatically by the make upgrade process.
469
470USB4BSD IS NOW THE DEFAULT USB STACK
471------------------------------------
472
473To get back to the old stack, put "WANT_OLDUSB=yes" in /etc/make.conf and
474replace "device usb" with "device oldusb" in the kernel configuration.
475
476MORE ISA SUPPORT DROPPED
477------------------------
478
479ISA support has been dropped from the following drivers: adv(4), an(4),
480ar(4), cs(4), digi(4), ed(4), ep(4), ex(4), fe(4), lnc(4), sbni(4),
481si(4), sn(4), and stg(4).

493UPDATING FROM 3.4 TO 3.6
494------------------------
495
496This only applies for this specific upgrade due to locale changes; it is
497not needed for upgrades after 3.6.  Please update in this order:

517ISA SUPPORT REMOVED FROM RP(4)
518------------------------------
519
520ISA support has been removed from the rp(4) driver. It is now PCI only.
521
522+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
523+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.2 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
524+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
525
526COMPAT_SUNOS OPTION REMOVED
527---------------------------
528
529The COMPAT_SUNOS option has been removed. It was meant to provide binary
530compatibility with SunOS 4.x for the sparc32 port of 4.4BSD.
531
532ISA SOUND CARD SUPPORT REMOVED
533------------------------------
534
535The following modules have been removed (all for ISA sound cards):
536snd_ad1816.ko, snd_ess.ko, snd_mss.ko, snd_sb8.ko, snd_sb16.ko, snd_sbc.ko
537
538GCC 4.7
539-------
540
541DragonFly has switched base compilers.  GCC 4.7 is now the default
542compiler and GCC 4.4 is the alternative compiler.  The "NO_GCC47" make
543variable ceases to work now.
544
545Users who wish to build only GCC 4.7 have to use NO_GCC44 in the
546/etc/make.conf to prohibit GCC 4.4 from building.  However, using it is
547highly discouraged.  There are a few packages in pkgsrc that do not build
548with GCC 4.7 and the new "DPorts" system uses GCC 4.4 by default.  At
549this time, it is recommended to keep both compilers on the base system.
550
551SMP OPTION REMOVED
552------------------
553
554The SMP kernel option has been made a no-op. All kernels now feature SMP
555support. If you have 'options SMP' in your kernel config, you can as well
556remove it.
557
558DEVICE_POLLING OPTION REPLACED BY IFPOLL_ENABLE OPTION, KTR_POLLING REMOVED
559---------------------------------------------------------------------------
560
561The DEVICE_POLLING kernel option has been made a no-op and it has been
562replaced by IFPOLL_ENABLE.  If you have 'options DEVICE_POLLING' in your
563kernel config, you need to change it to IFPOLL_ENABLE.
564
565Also, the KTR_POLLING kernel option has been removed, so it must be
566removed from kernel configs that have it.
567
568BUSLOGIC, CYCLADES AND STALLION ISA SUPPORT REMOVED
569---------------------------------------------------
570
571The bt(4) driver for Buslogic SCSI adapters has been made PCI only. ISA
572cards will no longer be detected.
573
574The same has been done for Stallion multiport serial controllers. stli(4)
575has been completely removed (along with the stlload(8) and stlstty(8)
576utilities) and stl(4) was changed to support only PCI cards. Similarly,
577ISA support was removed from cy(4) too. All these drivers are i386 only.
578
579COMPAT_OLDISA OPTION GONE
580-------------------------
581
582The i386 specific COMPAT_OLDISA kernel option has been removed, since
583nothing needs it anymore.
584
585+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
586+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.0 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
587+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
588
589APIC_IO OPTION REMOVED
590----------------------
591
592The APIC_IO kernel option is no longer accepted after having been without
593effect for a while. The hw.ioapic_enable tunable now serves its purpose.
594If you have 'options APIC_IO' in your kernel config, you'll have to
595remove it.
596
597WATCHDOG_ENABLE & HW_WDOG OPTIONS REMOVED
598-----------------------------------------
599
600The wdog framework is now compiled into our kernels by default, so the
601options are no longer needed.
602
603DOSCMD(1) REMOVED
604-----------------
605
606doscmd(1) has been removed. It was i386 only. The doscmd(1) specific
607NO_X make.conf option was removed too.
608
609GCC 4.7
610-------
611
612GCC 4.7 has been brought in and replaces GCC 4.1 as DragonFly's non-
613default compiler in base (default is still GCC 4.4).
614
615Users who wish to build only GCC 4.4 have to replace NO_GCC41 with
616NO_GCC47 in /etc/make.conf.
617
618USB4BSD
619-------
620
621A new USB stack (from FreeBSD) has been brought in. The following
622modules have been ported so far: usb, uhci, ohci, ehci, xhci, umass,
623usfs, uether, if_axe, if_udav, ukbd, ums, uep, uhid, usb_quirk,
624and uaudio.
625
626It is not yet the default. To activate it, WANT_USB4BSD=yes has to
627be put in make.conf and device "usb4bsd" (quotes needed) has to
628replace device usb in the kernel config. After that, a full
629build/install/upgrade cycle is needed.
630
631Note that this is experimental and incomplete, but we are interested
632in hearing about issues with it, of course.
633
634ISA SUPPORT REMOVED FROM AIC-6260/6360 DRIVER

642
643SEVERAL ISA DRIVERS REMOVED
644---------------------------
645
646The following ISA only drivers have been removed along with a couple of
647associated userland tools:
648
649aha(4)
650asc(4) & sasc(1)
651ctx
652dgb(4)
653el(4)
654gpib
655gsc(4) & sgsc(1)
656ie(4)
657labpc(4)
658le(4)
659mse(4)
660rc(4)
661rdp(4)
662spigot
663tw(4) & xten(1) & xtend(8)
664wl(4) & wlconfig(8)
665wt(4)
666
667Note that two of these drivers (aha(4) and ie(4)) are in our GENERIC
668config and one (aha(4)) is in our X86_64_GENERIC kernel configuration
669file.
670
671If buildkernel complains about any of these drivers, just remove them
672from your kernel configuration.
673
674BINUTILS 2.20
675-------------
676Binutils 2.20 has been removed in favor of Binutils 2.22.  The accepted
677values of BINUTILSVERS are now binutils221 and binutils222 (default).
678
679BUILDWORLD/-KERNEL PARALLELIZATION WORK
680---------------------------------------
681Due to changes in the way we build with more than one make job, you
682will have to update install(1) and mkdir(1) prior to buildworld if you
683want to build with 'make -j':
684
685cd /usr/src/usr.bin/xinstall; make; make install; make clean
686cd /usr/src/bin/mkdir; make; make install; make clean
687
688DMA(8) UPGRADE
689--------------
690dma(8) has been upgraded to v0.7 which no longer supports the
691/etc/dma/virtusertable. Some of its functionality has been replaced
692with the MASQUERADE keyword and the EMAIL environment variable (see
693the dma(8) manual page).

698
699GCC 4.4 & BINUTILS 2.21
700-----------------------
701
702GCC 4.4 has been made DragonFly's default compiler and Binutils 2.21 has
703been made DragonFly's default Binutils.
704
705That means that any settings that set CCVER to 'gcc44' are not needed
706anymore. Instead, CCVER can be set to 'gcc41' to go back to using
707GCC 4.1.
708
709It also means that 'binutils221' as a value for BINUTILSVER has no
710effect anymore. 2.17 has been removed and 'binutils220' is available
711as an option.
712
713The NO_GCC44 option has been removed and will not affect the build
714anymore. There is now a NO_GCC41 option that will prevent GCC 4.1 from
715building in a similar fashion.
716
717Note that you must do a full buildworld/buildkernel for upgrading.
718
719pkg_radd settings
720-----------------
721
722The config file for pkg_radd has moved from /etc/settings.conf to
723/etc/pkg_radd.conf.  Save the contents of settings.conf before upgrading
724if this is needed.  This warning only applies if /etc/settings.conf
725exists.  pkg_radd will continue to work with defaults.

732OpenSSL
733--------
734
735OpenSSL has been upgraded, and SHLIB_MAJOR was bumped for libssh and libcrypto.
736This shouldn't break any 3rd-party software, but you'll need to recompile your
7373rd-party software if you want it to link against the new version of OpenSSL.
738
739Loader
740-------
741
742A new loader (dloader) has been added which better handles booting from
743multiple kernel/module versions.
744
745To upgrade (Only for this upgrade, for post 2.8 upgrades see GENERAL below)
746
747	cd /usr/src
748	make buildworld
749	make installworld
750	make upgrade
751	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
752	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
753
754Note that you must installworld and run the 'upgrade' target before
755installing the new kernel.
756
757BIND
758-----
759
760BIND has been removed from the base system.  The ldns and drill tools have
761been added for basic functionality.  Use 'drill' where you would normally
762use nslookup or dig, or install BIND from pkgsrc.  It's available as
763net/bind95, net/bind96, or net/bind97 as of this writing.
764
765This only affects older systems upgrading to 2.8.  New 2.8+ installs
766include BIND as a pkgsrc package.

769+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY ON AN EXISTING DRAGONFLY SYSTEM		+
770+				GENERAL					+
771+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
772
773Instructions on how to obtain and maintain DragonFly source code using git
774are in the development(7) manual page.
775
776To upgrade a DragonFly system from sources you run the following sequence:
777
778	cd /usr/src
779	make buildworld
780	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
781	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
782	make installworld
783
784You will also want to run the 'upgrade' target to upgrade your /etc and the
785rest of your system.  The upgrade target is aware of stale files created by
786older DragonFly installations and should delete them automatically.
787
788	make upgrade
789
790See the build(7) manual page for further information.
791
792Once you've done a full build of the world and kernel you can do incremental
793upgrades of either by using the 'quickworld' and 'quickkernel' targets
794instead of 'buildworld' and 'buildkernel'.  If you have any problems with
795the quick targets, try updating your repo first, and then a full buildworld
796and buildkernel as shown above, before asking for help.
797
798+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
799+         UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 2.0 TO DRAGONFLY >= 2.1		+
800+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
801
802In 2.1 kernel and modules has moved to boot directory.  For most cases
803this is handled automatically by 'make upgrade'.  A few cases needs manual
804intervention:
805
806 * When installing a kernel without first doing a make buildworld,
807   installworld and upgrade to the same DESTDIR as kernel:
808   make DESTDIR/boot directory and move kernel and modules into this boot
809   directory; also move kernel.old and modules.old.
810   Typical example is vkernel(7), use (no modules used):
811
812	cd /var/vkernel
813	mkdir boot
814	chflags noschg kernel
815	mv kernel kernel.old boot
816	chflags schg boot/kernel
817
818 * When using a boot-only partition, /boot/loader.rc needs to be edited:
819   delete occurrences of '/boot/'.
820   These occurences can normally be deleted in any case, see loader(8).
821
822+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
823+         UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 1.8 TO DRAGONFLY >= 1.9		+
824+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
825
826In 1.9 major changes to the disk management infrastructure have taken
827place.  make upgrade may not catch all of your disk devices in /dev,
828so after upgrading be sure to cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV <blah> where <blah>
829are all of your disk devices.  HOWEVER, from late 2.3 on we run devfs
830and MAKEDEV no longer exists.
831
832The biggest changes in 1.9 are:
833
834(1) That whole-slice devices such as da0s1 no longer share the same device
835    id as partition c devices such as da0s1c.
836
837(2) The whole-disk device (e.g. da0) is full raw access to the disk,
838    with no snooping or reserved sectors.  Consequently you cannot run
839    disklabel on this device.  Instead you must run disklabel on a
840    whole-slice device.
841
842(3) The 'compatibility' partitions now use slice 0 in the device name,
843    so instead of da0a you must specify da0s0a.  Also, as per (1) above,
844    accessing the disklabel for the compatibility partitions must be
845    done via slice 0 (da0s0).
846
847(4) Many device drivers that used to fake up labels, such as CD, ACD, VN,
848    and CCD now run through the disk management layer and are assigned
849    real disk management devices.   VN and CCD in particular do not usually
850    use a MBR and disklabels must be accessed through the compatibility
851    slice 0.  Your /etc/ccd.conf file still specifies 'ccd0', though, you
852    don't name it 'ccd0s0' in the config file.
853
854Generally speaking, you have to get used to running fdisk and disklabel on
855the correctly specified device names.  A lot of the wiggle, such as running
856disklabel on a partition, has been removed.

862> Kerberos IV
863-------------
864
865Kerberos IV (eBones) was removed from the tree, please consider moving to
866Kerberos 5 (Heimdal).
867
868> Package Management System
869---------------------------
870
871Starting with the 1.4 release, DragonFly uses NetBSD's pkgsrc package
872management system.  The necessary tools to build and maintain packages
873are provided in /usr/pkg/bin and /usr/pkg/sbin.  Make sure that these
874directories are in your PATH variable.
875
876In order to obtain a reasonably current snapshot of the pkgsrc tree, use
877the tarball from NetBSD:
878
879	fetch -o /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc.tar.gz
880	cd /usr; tar -xzf /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz; chown -R root:wheel pkgsrc
881
882This tree can then be kept up to date with cvs update:
883
884	cd /usr/pkgsrc; cvs up
885
886NOTE! If you upgraded from a pre-1.4 system to 1.4 or later, you need to
887build and install the pkgsrc bootstrap manually:
888
889	cd /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap
890	./bootstrap --pkgdbdir /var/db/pkg --prefix /usr/pkg

898The compatibility shims for the build environment have been removed, you
899have to update to DragonFly 1.2 release branch first.
900
901The default PAM configuration has moved from /etc/pam.conf to /etc/pam.d/.
902The existing configuration can be converted using /etc/pam.d/convert.sh.
903Entries in /etc/pam.d/ override entries in /etc/pam.conf. In addition
904the pam_skey.so module was retired, you have to remove it manually from
905your configuration, when you convert it.
906
907> Required user and group IDs when upgrading from either FreeBSD or DragonFly
908---------------------
909
910The following users may be missing from your password file.  Use vipw and
911add any that are missing:
912
913smmsp:*:25:25::0:0:Sendmail Submission User:/var/spool/clientmqueue:/sbin/nologin
914_pflogd:*:64:64::0:0:pflogd privsep user:/var/empty:/sbin/nologin

921_pflogd:*:64:
922
923
924> Upgrading to DragonFly from FreeBSD
925---------------------
926
927You can build the DragonFly world and DragonFly kernels on a FreeBSD-4.x or
928FreeBSD-5.x machine and then install DragonFly over FreeBSD, replacing
929FreeBSD.  Note that the DragonFly buildworld target does not try to reuse
930make depend information, it starts from scratch, so no pre-cleaning of the
931object hierarchy is necessary.
932
933	# get the CVS repository (it is placed in /home/dcvs, 500MB).
934	# Please use the -h option and a mirror site to pull the
935	# initial repository, but feel free to use the main repository
936	# machine to pull updates.
937	cvsup /usr/share/examples/cvsup/DragonFly-cvs-supfile
938	# install the source from the CVS hierarchy (remove preexisting
939	# FreeBSD src first) (500MB)
940	cd /usr
941	rm -rf src
942	cvs -R -d /home/dcvs checkout -P src
943
944	# build it (500MB used in /usr/obj)
945	#
946	cd /usr/src
947	make buildworld
948	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
949
950Once you have built DragonFly you have to install it over FreeBSD.  Since
951DragonFly does not track changes made by FreeBSD to its include file
952hierarchy and include file pollution can cause all sorts of unexpected
953compilation issues to come up, it is best to wipe your include hierarchy
954prior to installing DragonFly.  Note that you should not wipe any installed
955FreeBSD header files or binaries until after you have successfully completed
956the build steps above.
957
958	rm -rf /usr/include
959	mkdir /usr/include
960	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
961	make installworld
962
963Then you need to upgrade your system.  DragonFly's 'make upgrade' target
964will unconditionally upgrade the /etc files that sysops do not usually
965mess around with, such as the files in /etc/rc.d.  It will also remove any
966obsolete files such as utilities and manpages that have been removed from
967the system since the version you're coming from.  If you are unsure we
968recommend that you make a backup of at least your /etc before applying
969this step.  Note that DragonFly's RC system is basically RCNG from
970FreeBSD-5, but there are some differences in the contents of the RC files.
971
972	make upgrade
973
974NOTE! Never do a 'make upgrade' before 'make installworld' has been run.
975Doing so might leave your system in an unusable state.
976
977Finally we recommend that you do an 'ls -lta BLAH' for /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin,
978/usr/bin, and /usr/lib, and remove any stale files that you find.  Please
979report these files to the DragonFly developers so that they can be added to
980the 'upgrade' target.
981
982
