12+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 5.6 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
13+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
14
15UTMP LEGACY API REMOVED
16-----------------------
17
18The legacy "utmp" API (getutent() and friends, utmp.h, etc.) has been
19removed, and we are now using the POSIX "utmpx" API (getutxent(),
20utmpx.h, etc.) only. The most visible change for users is that the
21/var/log/wtmp file will no longer be written to, just /var/log/wtmpx.
22The wtmpcvt(1) utility is provided to convert old wtmp format files to
23wtmpx.
24
25To not break old applications, the utmp symbols are still provided by
26libc as dummy functions that do nothing and always succeed.
27
28TIMED AND TIMEDC REMOVED
29------------------------
30
31timed(8) and timedc(8) have been removed because they are beyond
32obsolete for setting the time.
33
34LIBOPIE, LIBMD REMOVED
35----------------------
36
37Removal of OPIE requires /etc/pam.d/ configs to be updated.
38
39+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
40+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 5.4 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
41+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
42
43GCC50 REMOVED
44-------------
45
46The GCC50 compiler has been retired.  It has been replaced by a GCC80.
47The default alternative compiler has stayed the same - GCC47.
48
49
50PUFFS, PUTTER AND LIBREFUSE REMOVED
51-----------------------------------
52
53The puffs(4)/putter(4) subsystem has been removed, along with librefuse,
54libpuffs, and the mount_psshfs(8) utility. All of these have never been
55working correctly.
56
57FFS_ROOT OPTION REMOVED
58-----------------------
59
60The FFS_ROOT kernel configuration option has been finally removed, after
61having been a no-op since 4.9. That means users using a custom kernel
62configuration file that still contains it need to remove the option from
63that file.
64
65+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
66+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 5.2 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
67+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
68
69DIGI, RP AND SI DRIVERS REMOVED
70-------------------------------
71
72The digi(4), rp(4) and si(4) serial drivers have been removed. None of
73them were in our default kernel configuration file. The sicontrol(8)
74utility was removed, too.
75
76MKINITRD COMMAND REMOVED
77------------------------
78
79The mkinitrd(8) command is removed and its functionality is replaced by
80the new "initrd" make target.  After rebooting into the new world and
81verifying everything works, execute "make initrd" to upgrade the rescue
82tools and initrd image.
83
84IPSEC, IPSEC_ESP AND IPSEC_DEBUG REMOVED FROM VKERNEL64 CONFIG
85--------------------------------------------------------------
86
87IPsec has been removed from the system. Of our standard kernel
88configurations, only the virtual kernel one had it. People running
89vkernels with configuration files derived from our VKERNEL64 will
90have to remove these options manually.
91
92+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
93+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 5.0 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
94+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
95
96VIRTIO_PCI REMOVED FROM KERNEL CONFIG
97-------------------------------------
98
99The "device virtio_pci" line in X86_64_GENERIC has been removed. People
100with configuration files derived from it have to remove it manually.
101
102VARIOUS 'R' COMMANDS AND DAEMONS REMOVED
103----------------------------------------
104
105rcp(1), rlogin(1), rlogind(8), rsh(1) and rshd(8) have been removed.
106For those that still need them, there is the net/bsdrcmds port.
107
108VARIOUS FORMER OPTIONS REMOVED
109------------------------------
110
111Various former kernel configuration options which had been no-ops for
112some time were completely removed: SYSVMSG, SYSVSEM, SYSVSHM, P1003_1B,
113_KPOSIX_VERSION and DSCHED_FQ. Users that have any of these still in
114their kernel configuration files have to remove them.
115
116BOOTSTRAPPING LIMITED FROM PRE 4.4
117----------------------------------
118
119Upgrading to 5.1 and later versions now require at least 4.4 in
120preparations for upcoming base compilers updates.
121
122IF_PPP, PPPD, IF_FAITH, AND FAITHD REMOVED
123------------------------------------------
124
125if_ppp has been replaced by "user ppp", i.e. ppp(8) and tun(4). It had
126already been removed from our default kernel configuration before 5.0,
127so only people with custom configurations based on earlier X86_64_GENERIC
128will have to remove it manually.
129
130The faith(4) interface has been completely removed after it had also
131been removed from our default kernel configuration.
132
133+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
134+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 4.8 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
135+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
136
137FFS_ROOT OPTION DISABLED
138------------------------
139
140The FFS_ROOT option has been made a no-op and will be completely removed
141at some point in the future. Users with a custom kernel configuration
142can remove this option from it now.
143
144+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
145+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 4.6 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
146+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
147
148DSA OPENSSH KEYS DEPRECATED
149---------------------------
150
151Note that DSA OpenSSH keys were deprecated in the 4.6 to 4.8 release.
152If you are upgrading from a release older than 4.8 and use DSA OpenSSH
153keys, please update your private/public key pair or risk locking
154yourself out.
155
156AHC, AHD, AIC, NCV, NSP AND STG DRIVERS REMOVED
157-----------------------------------------------
158
159They were all in our X86_64_GENERIC kernel configuration file, along with
160the AHC_REG_PRETTY_PRINT and AHD_REG_PRETTY_PRINT options, so any custom
161configuration files derived from it need adjustment.
162
163PORTAL FILE SYSTEM REMOVED
164--------------------------
165
166It has been broken for a long time now.
167
168BINUTILS 2.27 REPLACES 2.24, PRIMARY
169------------------------------------
170
171The oldest of the two versions of Binutils, version 2.24, was removed
172and replaced with Binutils 2.27.  It becomes the primary version version
173of binutils and version 2.25 becomes the alternate.
174
175The accepted values of BINUTILSVER are now "binutils227" (default) and
176"binutils225".  The building of Binutils 2.25 can be prevented by setting
177NO_ALTBINUTILS=yes in make.conf.
178
179COMPAT_43 KERNEL OPTION REMOVED
180-------------------------------
181
182It was commented out in our default configs for several years now, but
183might still be present in custom configs created before Nov. 2011.
184
185OPENSSL REMOVED
186---------------
187
188OpenSSL has been removed from base and replaced with a private version of
189LibreSSL.  The previously installed OpenSSL libraries, headers, and man
190pages will remain on the system unless the "make upgrade" command is
191specifically instructed to remove them.  To do this, define
192REMOVE_OPENSSL_FILES for the upgrade command, e.g.
193"make upgrade REMOVE_OPENSSL_FILES=yes"
194
19528-Oct-2016: openssl has been replaced by ressl.  It is recommended that any
196stale OpenSSL files be removed to avoid configuration scripts from using
197the stale and potentially vulnerable version, but all binaries that are
198dynamically linked to the OpenSSL libraries should be rebuilt first to
199avoid breakage.
200
201OPENSSH HPN REMOVED
202-------------------
203
204It has become too cumbersome to maintain HPN patches in OpenSSH in base.
205To use OpenSSH in base remove HPN config, if you have added it.
206Check files below for HPN config, see a few lines below.
207  /etc/ssh/ssh_config, /etc/ssh/sshd_config, ~/.ssh/config
208sshd(8) will fail to start if HPN config is used.
209
210NOTE: HPN config in sshd_config will prohibit remote access to host using ssh.
211
212HPN config:
213HPNDisabled
214HPNBufferSize
215TcpRcvBuf
216TcpRcvBufPoll
217NoneEnabled
218NoneSwitch
219cipher MTR-AES-CTR
220cipher NONE
221
222OpenSSH HPN is a patch set to OpenSSH providing higher performance under some
223circumstances, especially for networking.
224If HPN functionality is needed, install security/openssh from dports.
225
226CS, EX AND VX DRIVERS REMOVED
227-----------------------------
228
229The cs(4), ex(4) and vx(4) drivers have been removed. They were very
230old and its doubtful they ever worked properly in x86_64 but they were
231in X86_64_GENERIC, so custom configurations derived from it have to be
232adjusted.
233
234+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
235+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 4.4 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
236+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
237
238AMD REMOVED
239-----------
240
241The am-utils automounter suite has been removed. It stopped working
242at some point and was never fixed. autofs(5) and the associated
243userland has been brought in from FreeBSD and replaces it.
244
245AN DRIVER REMOVED
246-----------------
247
248The an(4) driver has been removed. It was in the X86_64_GENERIC kernel
249config file, so any configurations derived from it have to be adjusted.
250
251/DEV/DRI GROUP CHANGED
252----------------------
253
254The default group assigned to /dev/dri entries has been changed
255from 'wheel' to 'video' with the id of '44'. If you want to have
256access to the dri devices please add yourself to the video group
257with:
258
259# pw groupmod video -m $USER
260

262+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 4.2 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
263+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
264
265DSCHED REMOVED
266--------------
267
268dsched(4) has been removed and one of its kernel options, DSCHED_FQ, was
269in our default kernel config file. So the DSCHED_FQ option has been turned
270into a no-op for now and can be removed from custom configurations.
271
272EST DRIVER REMOVED, COMPILE_ET AND LIBCOM_ERR TOO
273-------------------------------------------------
274
275The est(4) driver has been removed. All CPUs it supported (except one)
276were 32 bits only. Those who are still using the Core 2 Duo T7500 should
277report back if there are any issues with this CPU and our regular ACPI
278P-state support.
279
280Also, compile_et(1) and com_err(3) have been removed as well. They
281should have been removed along with kerberos support, back in 2009.
282
283SEVERAL LOCALES RENAMED
284-----------------------
285
286Several locales were using obsolete and misleading names, and thus have
287been adjusted to current standards. Any users of the following locales
288need to select alternates:
289
290DFLY 4.2 locale            DFLY 4.4 alterative locale

313BINUTILS 2.25 REPLACES 2.22, PRIMARY
314------------------------------------
315
316The oldest of the two versions of Binutils, version 2.22, was removed
317and replaced with Binutils 2.25.  It becomes the primary version version
318of binutils and version 2.24 becomes the alternate.  There are 8 current
319CVE written against 2.24, so for security reasons version 2.25 should
320always be used.
321
322The accepted values of BINUTILSVER are now "binutils225" (default) and
323"binutils224".  The building of Binutils 2.24 can be prevented by setting
324NO_ALTBINUTILS=yes in make.conf.
325
326LOADER OPTIONS CHANGED
327----------------------
328
329Right after the development branch started, the Fred art accompanying the
330loader menu was improved.  The line between Fred and the menu was removed
331by default (but can optionally be returned) and the placement shifted as
332a result.  The drawing was improved, and the colored version was improved,
333changing the eyes and wing color from white to red.  A new color version
334of Fred was added, one with a blue scheme.
335
336The loader menu defaults have changed since release 4.0:  The vertical
337line was removed, the loader is displayed in color by default*, and the
338blue scheme is used.
339
340The loader.conf changes are:
341loader_color:   option has been removed
342loader_plain:   option has been added, it changed menu to monochrome
343fred_is_red:    changes color scheme from blue to red
344fred_is_blue:   option existed only on 4.1, it has been removed
345fred_separated: Adds line between Fred and menu (as seen previously)
346
347* If loader.conf defines "console" as "comconsole" or "console" is defined
348  in the environment as "comconsole" then color will not be displayed,
349  even if loader_plain value is "NO".
350
351SENDMAIL REMOVED FROM BASE
352--------------------------
353
354The only Mail Transfer Agent provided now is DragonFly Mail Agent (dma).
355If the system being upgraded is still configured to use the sendmail
356binaries from base, the "make upgrade" command will fail.
357
358The administrator must change /etc/mail/mailer.conf to switch the
359mailwrapper to dma or a DPorts-based MTA prior to running the upgrade
360command that permanently removes sendmail executables and could
361potentially break a running mail server.
362
363Refer: http://www.dragonflybsd.com/docs/docs/newhandbook/mta/ for
364detailed instructions on how to configure the MTA selection.
365
366_KPOSIX_VERSION and P1003_1B OPTIONS REMOVED
367--------------------------------------------
368
369The _KPOSIX_VERSION and P1003_1B kernel options have been changed to
370no-ops. They can be removed from custom kernel configurations.
371
372SOUND SYSTEM UPDATED FROM FreeBSD 11-CURRENT
373--------------------------------------------
374
375Many more sound devices may be detected.
376
377If the default device choosen isn't to your liking, setting the sysctl
378hw.snd.default_unit to a different number will change it.
379
380SCTP SUPPORT DROPPED
381--------------------
382
383Support for the SCTP protocol has been removed.
384
385OLD USB DRIVERS REMOVED
386-----------------------
387
388The old USB stack, along with the kernel config option "device oldusb"
389and the make.conf variable "WANT_OLDUSB" have been removed. This means
390that for custom kernel configuration files which were derived from a
391GENERIC or X86_64_GENERIC file prior to making the usb4bsd stack default,
392various (old USB stack specific) devices will now complain about being
393unknown:
394
395  * oldusb	(obviously)
396  * natausb	(not yet ported to usb4bsd)
397  * rue		(not yet ported to usb4bsd)
398  * ugen	(no longer needed in usb4bsd)
399  * urio	(not yet ported to usb4bsd)
400  * uscanner	(no longer needed in usb4bsd)
401
402They should be removed or commented out in such custom kernel configs.
403
404GCC 5
405-----
406
407The GCC 4.4 compiler has been retired.  It has been replaced by a GCC 5.1.
408The following make.conf variables no longer work: NO_GCC44, NO_OBJC, and
409NO_CXX.  The latter was never documented and the latest versions of GCC are
410partially written in C++ so a C++ compiler is no longer optional.  In
411practical terms it has not been optional for many years as other base
412components are also written in C++.  The resource savings by avoiding
413building Objective-C compiler is so small, the complexity added by NO_OBJC
414internally was deemed a bad tradeoff so that is the reason for its removal.
415Also note that no "info" pages are installed with GCC 5.  After this entry
416was originally written, all info pages were removed from DragonFly.
417
418GCC 5.1 has been designated as the primary compiler.  As such, there is a
419new make.conf variable, NO_ALTCOMPILER.  It will block the rebuilding of
420the designated secondary compiler, GCC 4.7.  However, while DPorts
421primarily uses GCC 5 to build ports now, it still uses GCC 4.7 as well, so
422if building ports from source is desired, don't block building of the
423secondary compiler.

428
429SMP AND DEVICE_POLLING OPTIONS MADE UNKNOWN
430-------------------------------------------
431
432DEVICE_POLLING was replaced by IFPOLL_ENABLE and the former SMP code is
433the default now (even on single-core systems), both for, like, 21 months.
434We kept the options around as no-ops as a convenience, to allow people
435using the same config for the then current release and the then current
436master. That period is now over, so any configs still having those
437options have to be adjusted.
438
439SYSVIPC SYSCALLS MADE NON-OPTIONAL
440----------------------------------
441
442The code related to the SYSVMSG, SYSVSEM and SYSVSHM kernel options is
443now compiled in by default. The options are no-ops for now.
444
445DEFAULT DRIVER CHANGED FOR LSI "THUNDERBOLT" SERIES RAID CONTROLLERS
446--------------------------------------------------------------------
447
448The default driver for those controllers is now mrsas(4) due to reports
449of file system corruption using the mfi(4) driver. The whole issue (and
450how to deal with potential problems when switching) was explained here:
451
452http://lists.dragonflybsd.org/pipermail/users/2014-July/128703.html
453
454A tunable is provided for letting those controllers still attach via
455the mfi(4) driver, hw.mrsas.mfi_enable (see mrsas(4) manual page).
456
457OLDER NETWORK DRIVERS MOVED TO I386 ONLY
458----------------------------------------
459
460The following drivers have been made i386 only: ed(4), sr(4), ng_sync_ar
461and ng_sync_sr. ed(4) used to be in X86_64_GENERIC, so it has to be
462removed in kernel configs derived from X86_64_GENERIC.

468UPDATE FROM MOST RECENT 3.6
469---------------------------
470
471Versions of 3.6 built before June 25th have a bug where installworld might
472crash during installation of the new initrd.  Upgrade to the latest version
473of 3.6 before updating to 3.8 or later.
474
475ATM, IPX, NCP AND NWFS SUPPORT DROPPED
476--------------------------------------
477
478Support for the IPX and NCP network protocols and for mouting NetWare
479file systems has been dropped. Dito for ATM protocol support.
480
481INITRD IMAGES NOW INSTALLED BY DEFAULT
482--------------------------------------
483
484An initial ramdisk image is now installed in /boot/kernel/initrd.img.gz
485
486Older images installed under the file name of initrd.img will be removed
487automatically by the make upgrade process.
488
489USB4BSD IS NOW THE DEFAULT USB STACK
490------------------------------------
491
492To get back to the old stack, put "WANT_OLDUSB=yes" in /etc/make.conf and
493replace "device usb" with "device oldusb" in the kernel configuration.
494
495MORE ISA SUPPORT DROPPED
496------------------------
497
498ISA support has been dropped from the following drivers: adv(4), an(4),
499ar(4), cs(4), digi(4), ed(4), ep(4), ex(4), fe(4), lnc(4), sbni(4),
500si(4), sn(4), and stg(4).

528CYRIX OPTIONS REMOVED
529---------------------
530
531The following Cyrix related options have been removed: CPU_BTB_EN,
532CPU_CYRIX_NO_LOCK, CPU_DIRECT_MAPPED_CACHE, CPU_DISABLE_5X86_LSSER,
533CPU_FASTER_5X86_FPU, CPU_IORT, CPU_LOOP_EN, CPU_RSTK_EN, CPU_SUSP_HLT,
534CYRIX_CACHE_WORKS, and CYRIX_CACHE_REALLY_WORKS
535
536ISA SUPPORT REMOVED FROM RP(4)
537------------------------------
538
539ISA support has been removed from the rp(4) driver. It is now PCI only.
540
541+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
542+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.2 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
543+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
544
545COMPAT_SUNOS OPTION REMOVED
546---------------------------
547
548The COMPAT_SUNOS option has been removed. It was meant to provide binary
549compatibility with SunOS 4.x for the sparc32 port of 4.4BSD.
550
551ISA SOUND CARD SUPPORT REMOVED
552------------------------------
553
554The following modules have been removed (all for ISA sound cards):
555snd_ad1816.ko, snd_ess.ko, snd_mss.ko, snd_sb8.ko, snd_sb16.ko, snd_sbc.ko
556
557GCC 4.7
558-------
559
560DragonFly has switched base compilers.  GCC 4.7 is now the default
561compiler and GCC 4.4 is the alternative compiler.  The "NO_GCC47" make
562variable ceases to work now.
563
564Users who wish to build only GCC 4.7 have to use NO_GCC44 in the
565/etc/make.conf to prohibit GCC 4.4 from building.  However, using it is
566highly discouraged.  There are a few packages in pkgsrc that do not build
567with GCC 4.7 and the new "DPorts" system uses GCC 4.4 by default.  At
568this time, it is recommended to keep both compilers on the base system.
569
570SMP OPTION REMOVED
571------------------
572
573The SMP kernel option has been made a no-op. All kernels now feature SMP
574support. If you have 'options SMP' in your kernel config, you can as well
575remove it.
576
577DEVICE_POLLING OPTION REPLACED BY IFPOLL_ENABLE OPTION, KTR_POLLING REMOVED
578---------------------------------------------------------------------------
579
580The DEVICE_POLLING kernel option has been made a no-op and it has been
581replaced by IFPOLL_ENABLE.  If you have 'options DEVICE_POLLING' in your
582kernel config, you need to change it to IFPOLL_ENABLE.
583
584Also, the KTR_POLLING kernel option has been removed, so it must be
585removed from kernel configs that have it.
586
587BUSLOGIC, CYCLADES AND STALLION ISA SUPPORT REMOVED
588---------------------------------------------------
589
590The bt(4) driver for Buslogic SCSI adapters has been made PCI only. ISA
591cards will no longer be detected.
592
593The same has been done for Stallion multiport serial controllers. stli(4)
594has been completely removed (along with the stlload(8) and stlstty(8)
595utilities) and stl(4) was changed to support only PCI cards. Similarly,
596ISA support was removed from cy(4) too. All these drivers are i386 only.
597
598COMPAT_OLDISA OPTION GONE
599-------------------------
600
601The i386 specific COMPAT_OLDISA kernel option has been removed, since
602nothing needs it anymore.
603
604+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
605+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.0 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
606+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
607
608APIC_IO OPTION REMOVED
609----------------------
610
611The APIC_IO kernel option is no longer accepted after having been without
612effect for a while. The hw.ioapic_enable tunable now serves its purpose.
613If you have 'options APIC_IO' in your kernel config, you'll have to
614remove it.
615
616WATCHDOG_ENABLE & HW_WDOG OPTIONS REMOVED
617-----------------------------------------
618
619The wdog framework is now compiled into our kernels by default, so the
620options are no longer needed.
621
622DOSCMD(1) REMOVED
623-----------------
624
625doscmd(1) has been removed. It was i386 only. The doscmd(1) specific
626NO_X make.conf option was removed too.
627
628GCC 4.7
629-------
630
631GCC 4.7 has been brought in and replaces GCC 4.1 as DragonFly's non-
632default compiler in base (default is still GCC 4.4).
633
634Users who wish to build only GCC 4.4 have to replace NO_GCC41 with
635NO_GCC47 in /etc/make.conf.
636
637USB4BSD
638-------
639
640A new USB stack (from FreeBSD) has been brought in. The following
641modules have been ported so far: usb, uhci, ohci, ehci, xhci, umass,
642usfs, uether, if_axe, if_udav, ukbd, ums, uep, uhid, usb_quirk,
643and uaudio.
644
645It is not yet the default. To activate it, WANT_USB4BSD=yes has to
646be put in make.conf and device "usb4bsd" (quotes needed) has to
647replace device usb in the kernel config. After that, a full
648build/install/upgrade cycle is needed.
649
650Note that this is experimental and incomplete, but we are interested
651in hearing about issues with it, of course.
652
653ISA SUPPORT REMOVED FROM AIC-6260/6360 DRIVER
654---------------------------------------------
655
656ISA adapter support was dropped from the aic(4) driver.
657
658+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
659+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.10 TO LATER VERSIONS               +
660+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
661
662SEVERAL ISA DRIVERS REMOVED
663---------------------------
664
665The following ISA only drivers have been removed along with a couple of
666associated userland tools:
667
668aha(4)
669asc(4) & sasc(1)
670ctx
671dgb(4)
672el(4)
673gpib
674gsc(4) & sgsc(1)
675ie(4)
676labpc(4)
677le(4)
678mse(4)
679rc(4)
680rdp(4)
681spigot
682tw(4) & xten(1) & xtend(8)
683wl(4) & wlconfig(8)
684wt(4)
685
686Note that two of these drivers (aha(4) and ie(4)) are in our GENERIC
687config and one (aha(4)) is in our X86_64_GENERIC kernel configuration
688file.
689
690If buildkernel complains about any of these drivers, just remove them
691from your kernel configuration.
692
693BINUTILS 2.20
694-------------
695Binutils 2.20 has been removed in favor of Binutils 2.22.  The accepted
696values of BINUTILSVERS are now binutils221 and binutils222 (default).
697
698BUILDWORLD/-KERNEL PARALLELIZATION WORK
699---------------------------------------
700Due to changes in the way we build with more than one make job, you
701will have to update install(1) and mkdir(1) prior to buildworld if you
702want to build with 'make -j':
703
704cd /usr/src/usr.bin/xinstall; make; make install; make clean
705cd /usr/src/bin/mkdir; make; make install; make clean
706
707DMA(8) UPGRADE
708--------------
709dma(8) has been upgraded to v0.7 which no longer supports the
710/etc/dma/virtusertable. Some of its functionality has been replaced
711with the MASQUERADE keyword and the EMAIL environment variable (see
712the dma(8) manual page).
713
714+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
715+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.8 TO LATER VERSIONS                +
716+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
717
718GCC 4.4 & BINUTILS 2.21
719-----------------------
720
721GCC 4.4 has been made DragonFly's default compiler and Binutils 2.21 has
722been made DragonFly's default Binutils.
723
724That means that any settings that set CCVER to 'gcc44' are not needed
725anymore. Instead, CCVER can be set to 'gcc41' to go back to using
726GCC 4.1.
727
728It also means that 'binutils221' as a value for BINUTILSVER has no
729effect anymore. 2.17 has been removed and 'binutils220' is available
730as an option.
731
732The NO_GCC44 option has been removed and will not affect the build
733anymore. There is now a NO_GCC41 option that will prevent GCC 4.1 from
734building in a similar fashion.
735
736Note that you must do a full buildworld/buildkernel for upgrading.
737
738pkg_radd settings
739-----------------
740
741The config file for pkg_radd has moved from /etc/settings.conf to
742/etc/pkg_radd.conf.  Save the contents of settings.conf before upgrading
743if this is needed.  This warning only applies if /etc/settings.conf
744exists.  pkg_radd will continue to work with defaults.

750
751OpenSSL
752--------
753
754OpenSSL has been upgraded, and SHLIB_MAJOR was bumped for libssh and libcrypto.
755This shouldn't break any 3rd-party software, but you'll need to recompile your
7563rd-party software if you want it to link against the new version of OpenSSL.
757
758Loader
759-------
760
761A new loader (dloader) has been added which better handles booting from
762multiple kernel/module versions.
763
764To upgrade (Only for this upgrade, for post 2.8 upgrades see GENERAL below)
765
766	cd /usr/src
767	make buildworld
768	make installworld
769	make upgrade
770	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
771	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
772
773Note that you must installworld and run the 'upgrade' target before
774installing the new kernel.
775
776BIND
777-----
778
779BIND has been removed from the base system.  The ldns and drill tools have
780been added for basic functionality.  Use 'drill' where you would normally
781use nslookup or dig, or install BIND from pkgsrc.  It's available as
782net/bind95, net/bind96, or net/bind97 as of this writing.
783
784This only affects older systems upgrading to 2.8.  New 2.8+ installs
785include BIND as a pkgsrc package.
786
787+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
788+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY ON AN EXISTING DRAGONFLY SYSTEM		+
789+				GENERAL					+
790+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
791
792Instructions on how to obtain and maintain DragonFly source code using git
793are in the development(7) manual page.
794
795To upgrade a DragonFly system from sources you run the following sequence:
796
797	cd /usr/src
798	make buildworld
799	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
800	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
801	make installworld
802
803You will also want to run the 'upgrade' target to upgrade your /etc and the
804rest of your system.  The upgrade target is aware of stale files created by
805older DragonFly installations and should delete them automatically.
806
807	make upgrade
808
809See the build(7) manual page for further information.
810
811Once you've done a full build of the world and kernel you can do incremental
812upgrades of either by using the 'quickworld' and 'quickkernel' targets
813instead of 'buildworld' and 'buildkernel'.  If you have any problems with
814the quick targets, try updating your repo first, and then a full buildworld
815and buildkernel as shown above, before asking for help.
816
817+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
818+         UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 2.0 TO DRAGONFLY >= 2.1		+
819+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
820
821In 2.1 kernel and modules has moved to boot directory.  For most cases
822this is handled automatically by 'make upgrade'.  A few cases needs manual
823intervention:
824
825 * When installing a kernel without first doing a make buildworld,
826   installworld and upgrade to the same DESTDIR as kernel:
827   make DESTDIR/boot directory and move kernel and modules into this boot
828   directory; also move kernel.old and modules.old.
829   Typical example is vkernel(7), use (no modules used):
830
831	cd /var/vkernel
832	mkdir boot
833	chflags noschg kernel
834	mv kernel kernel.old boot
835	chflags schg boot/kernel
836
837 * When using a boot-only partition, /boot/loader.rc needs to be edited:
838   delete occurrences of '/boot/'.
839   These occurences can normally be deleted in any case, see loader(8).
840
841+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
842+         UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 1.8 TO DRAGONFLY >= 1.9		+
843+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
844
845In 1.9 major changes to the disk management infrastructure have taken
846place.  make upgrade may not catch all of your disk devices in /dev,
847so after upgrading be sure to cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV <blah> where <blah>
848are all of your disk devices.  HOWEVER, from late 2.3 on we run devfs
849and MAKEDEV no longer exists.
850
851The biggest changes in 1.9 are:
852
853(1) That whole-slice devices such as da0s1 no longer share the same device
854    id as partition c devices such as da0s1c.
855
856(2) The whole-disk device (e.g. da0) is full raw access to the disk,
857    with no snooping or reserved sectors.  Consequently you cannot run
858    disklabel on this device.  Instead you must run disklabel on a
859    whole-slice device.
860
861(3) The 'compatibility' partitions now use slice 0 in the device name,
862    so instead of da0a you must specify da0s0a.  Also, as per (1) above,
863    accessing the disklabel for the compatibility partitions must be
864    done via slice 0 (da0s0).
865
866(4) Many device drivers that used to fake up labels, such as CD, ACD, VN,
867    and CCD now run through the disk management layer and are assigned
868    real disk management devices.   VN and CCD in particular do not usually
869    use a MBR and disklabels must be accessed through the compatibility
870    slice 0.  Your /etc/ccd.conf file still specifies 'ccd0', though, you
871    don't name it 'ccd0s0' in the config file.
872
873Generally speaking, you have to get used to running fdisk and disklabel on
874the correctly specified device names.  A lot of the wiggle, such as running
875disklabel on a partition, has been removed.

881> Kerberos IV
882-------------
883
884Kerberos IV (eBones) was removed from the tree, please consider moving to
885Kerberos 5 (Heimdal).
886
887> Package Management System
888---------------------------
889
890Starting with the 1.4 release, DragonFly uses NetBSD's pkgsrc package
891management system.  The necessary tools to build and maintain packages
892are provided in /usr/pkg/bin and /usr/pkg/sbin.  Make sure that these
893directories are in your PATH variable.
894
895In order to obtain a reasonably current snapshot of the pkgsrc tree, use
896the tarball from NetBSD:
897
898	fetch -o /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc.tar.gz
899	cd /usr; tar -xzf /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz; chown -R root:wheel pkgsrc
900
901This tree can then be kept up to date with cvs update:
902
903	cd /usr/pkgsrc; cvs up
904
905NOTE! If you upgraded from a pre-1.4 system to 1.4 or later, you need to
906build and install the pkgsrc bootstrap manually:
907
908	cd /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap
909	./bootstrap --pkgdbdir /var/db/pkg --prefix /usr/pkg

915+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
916
917The compatibility shims for the build environment have been removed, you
918have to update to DragonFly 1.2 release branch first.
919
920The default PAM configuration has moved from /etc/pam.conf to /etc/pam.d/.
921The existing configuration can be converted using /etc/pam.d/convert.sh.
922Entries in /etc/pam.d/ override entries in /etc/pam.conf. In addition
923the pam_skey.so module was retired, you have to remove it manually from
924your configuration, when you convert it.
925
926> Required user and group IDs when upgrading from either FreeBSD or DragonFly
927---------------------
928
929The following users may be missing from your password file.  Use vipw and
930add any that are missing:
931
932smmsp:*:25:25::0:0:Sendmail Submission User:/var/spool/clientmqueue:/sbin/nologin
933_pflogd:*:64:64::0:0:pflogd privsep user:/var/empty:/sbin/nologin
934
935The following groups may be missing from your group file.  Use vi /etc/group
936and add any that are missing:
937
938smmsp:*:25:
939authpf:*:63:
940_pflogd:*:64:
941
942
943> Upgrading to DragonFly from FreeBSD
944---------------------
945
946You can build the DragonFly world and DragonFly kernels on a FreeBSD-4.x or
947FreeBSD-5.x machine and then install DragonFly over FreeBSD, replacing
948FreeBSD.  Note that the DragonFly buildworld target does not try to reuse
949make depend information, it starts from scratch, so no pre-cleaning of the
950object hierarchy is necessary.
951
952	# get the CVS repository (it is placed in /home/dcvs, 500MB).
953	# Please use the -h option and a mirror site to pull the
954	# initial repository, but feel free to use the main repository
955	# machine to pull updates.
956	cvsup /usr/share/examples/cvsup/DragonFly-cvs-supfile
957	# install the source from the CVS hierarchy (remove preexisting
958	# FreeBSD src first) (500MB)
959	cd /usr
960	rm -rf src
961	cvs -R -d /home/dcvs checkout -P src
962
963	# build it (500MB used in /usr/obj)
964	#
965	cd /usr/src
966	make buildworld
967	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
968
969Once you have built DragonFly you have to install it over FreeBSD.  Since
970DragonFly does not track changes made by FreeBSD to its include file
971hierarchy and include file pollution can cause all sorts of unexpected
972compilation issues to come up, it is best to wipe your include hierarchy
973prior to installing DragonFly.  Note that you should not wipe any installed
974FreeBSD header files or binaries until after you have successfully completed
975the build steps above.
976
977	rm -rf /usr/include
978	mkdir /usr/include
979	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
980	make installworld
981
982Then you need to upgrade your system.  DragonFly's 'make upgrade' target
983will unconditionally upgrade the /etc files that sysops do not usually
984mess around with, such as the files in /etc/rc.d.  It will also remove any
985obsolete files such as utilities and manpages that have been removed from
986the system since the version you're coming from.  If you are unsure we
987recommend that you make a backup of at least your /etc before applying
988this step.  Note that DragonFly's RC system is basically RCNG from
989FreeBSD-5, but there are some differences in the contents of the RC files.
990
991	make upgrade
992
993NOTE! Never do a 'make upgrade' before 'make installworld' has been run.
994Doing so might leave your system in an unusable state.
995
996Finally we recommend that you do an 'ls -lta BLAH' for /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin,
997/usr/bin, and /usr/lib, and remove any stale files that you find.  Please
998report these files to the DragonFly developers so that they can be added to
999the 'upgrade' target.
