11+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
12+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.2 to later versions                +
13+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
14
15COMPAT_SUNOS OPTION REMOVED
16---------------------------
17
18The COMPAT_SUNOS option has been removed. It was meant to provide binary
19compatibility with SunOS 4.x for the sparc32 port of 4.4BSD.
20
21ISA SOUND CARD SUPPORT REMOVED
22------------------------------
23
24The following modules have been removed (all for ISA sound cards):
25snd_ad1816.ko, snd_ess.ko, snd_mss.ko, snd_sb8.ko, snd_sb16.ko, snd_sbc.ko
26
27GCC 4.7
28-------
29
30DragonFly has switched base compilers.  GCC 4.7 is now the default
31compiler and GCC 4.4 is the alternative compiler.  The "NO_GCC47" make
32variable ceases to work now.
33
34Users who wish to build only GCC 4.7 have to use NO_GCC44 in the
35/etc/make.conf to prohibit GCC 4.4 from building.  However, using it is
36highly discouraged.  There are a few packages in pkgsrc that do not build
37with GCC 4.7 and the new "DPorts" system uses GCC 4.4 by default.  At
38this time, it is recommended to keep both compilers on the base system.
39
40SMP OPTION REMOVED
41------------------
42
43The SMP kernel option has been made a no-op. All kernels now feature SMP
44support. If you have 'options SMP' in your kernel config, you can as well
45remove it.
46
47DEVICE_POLLING OPTION REPLACED BY IFPOLL_ENABLE OPTION, KTR_POLLING REMOVED
48---------------------------------------------------------------------------
49
50The DEVICE_POLLING kernel option has been made a no-op and it has been
51replaced by IFPOLL_ENABLE.  If you have 'options DEVICE_POLLING' in your
52kernel config, you need to change it to IFPOLL_ENABLE.
53
54Also, the KTR_POLLING kernel option has been removed, so it must be
55removed from kernel configs that have it.
56
57BUSLOGIC, CYCLADES AND STALLION ISA SUPPORT REMOVED
58---------------------------------------------------
59
60The bt(4) driver for Buslogic SCSI adapters has been made PCI only. ISA
61cards will no longer be detected.
62
63The same has been done for Stallion multiport serial controllers. stli(4)
64has been completely removed (along with the stlload(8) and stlstty(8)
65utilities) and stl(4) was changed to support only PCI cards. Similarly,
66ISA support was removed from cy(4) too. All these drivers are i386 only.
67
68COMPAT_OLDISA OPTION GONE
69-------------------------
70
71The i386 specific COMPAT_OLDISA kernel option has been removed, since
72nothing needs it anymore.
73
74+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
75+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.0 to later versions                +
76+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
77
78APIC_IO OPTION REMOVED
79----------------------
80
81The APIC_IO kernel option is no longer accepted after having been without
82effect for a while. The hw.ioapic_enable tunable now serves its purpose.
83If you have 'options APIC_IO' in your kernel config, you'll have to
84remove it.
85
86WATCHDOG_ENABLE & HW_WDOG OPTIONS REMOVED
87-----------------------------------------
88
89The wdog framework is now compiled into our kernels by default, so the
90options are no longer needed.
91
92DOSCMD(1) REMOVED
93-----------------
94
95doscmd(1) has been removed. It was i386 only. The doscmd(1) specific
96NO_X make.conf option was removed too.
97
98GCC 4.7
99-------
100
101GCC 4.7 has been brought in and replaces GCC 4.1 as DragonFly's non-
102default compiler in base (default is still GCC 4.4).
103
104Users who wish to build only GCC 4.4 have to replace NO_GCC41 with
105NO_GCC47 in /etc/make.conf.
106
107USB4BSD
108-------
109
110A new USB stack (from FreeBSD) has been brought in. The following
111modules have been ported so far: usb, uhci, ohci, ehci, xhci, umass,
112usfs, uether, if_axe, if_udav, ukbd, ums, uep, uhid, usb_quirk,
113and uaudio.
114
115It is not yet the default. To activate it, WANT_USB4BSD=yes has to
116be put in make.conf and device "usb4bsd" (quotes needed) has to
117replace device usb in the kernel config. After that, a full
118build/install/upgrade cycle is needed.
119
120Note that this is experimental and incomplete, but we are interested
121in hearing about issues with it, of course.
122
123ISA SUPPORT REMOVED FROM AIC-6260/6360 DRIVER
124---------------------------------------------
125
126ISA adapter support was dropped from the aic(4) driver.
127
128+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
129+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.10 to later versions               +
130+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
131
132SEVERAL ISA DRIVERS REMOVED
133---------------------------
134
135The following ISA only drivers have been removed along with a couple of
136associated userland tools:
137
138aha(4)
139asc(4) & sasc(1)
140ctx
141dgb(4)
142el(4)
143gpib
144gsc(4) & sgsc(1)
145ie(4)
146labpc(4)
147le(4)
148mse(4)
149rc(4)
150rdp(4)
151spigot
152tw(4) & xten(1) & xtend(8)
153wl(4) & wlconfig(8)
154wt(4)
155
156Note that two of these drivers (aha(4) and ie(4)) are in our GENERIC
157config and one (aha(4)) is in our X86_64_GENERIC kernel configuration
158file.
159
160If buildkernel complains about any of these drivers, just remove them
161from your kernel configuration.
162
163BINUTILS 2.20
164-------------
165Binutils 2.20 has been removed in favor of Binutils 2.22.  The accepted
166values of BINUTILSVERS are now binutils221 and binutils222 (default).
167
168BUILDWORLD/-KERNEL PARALLELIZATION WORK
169---------------------------------------
170Due to changes in the way we build with more than one make job, you
171will have to update install(1) and mkdir(1) prior to buildworld if you
172want to build with 'make -j':
173
174cd /usr/src/usr.bin/xinstall; make; make install; make clean
175cd /usr/src/bin/mkdir; make; make install; make clean
176
177DMA(8) UPGRADE
178--------------
179dma(8) has been upgraded to v0.7 which no longer supports the
180/etc/dma/virtusertable. Some of its functionality has been replaced
181with the MASQUERADE keyword and the EMAIL environment variable (see
182the dma(8) manual page).
183
184+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
185+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.8 to later versions                +
186+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
187
188GCC 4.4 & BINUTILS 2.21
189-----------------------
190
191GCC 4.4 has been made DragonFly's default compiler and Binutils 2.21 has
192been made DragonFly's default Binutils.
193
194That means that any settings that set CCVER to 'gcc44' are not needed
195anymore. Instead, CCVER can be set to 'gcc41' to go back to using
196GCC 4.1.
197
198It also means that 'binutils221' as a value for BINUTILSVER has no
199effect anymore. 2.17 has been removed and 'binutils220' is available
200as an option.
201
202The NO_GCC44 option has been removed and will not affect the build
203anymore. There is now a NO_GCC41 option that will prevent GCC 4.1 from
204building in a similar fashion.
205
206Note that you must do a full buildworld/buildkernel for upgrading.
207
208pkg_radd settings
209-----------------
210
211The config file for pkg_radd has moved from /etc/settings.conf to
212/etc/pkg_radd.conf.  Save the contents of settings.conf before upgrading
213if this is needed.  This warning only applies if /etc/settings.conf
214exists.  pkg_radd will continue to work with defaults.
215
216+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
217+         20100927							+
218+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.6 to 2.8 or HEAD			+
219+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
220
221OpenSSL
222--------
223
224OpenSSL has been upgraded, and SHLIB_MAJOR was bumped for libssh and libcrypto.
225This shouldn't break any 3rd-party software, but you'll need to recompile your
2263rd-party software if you want it to link against the new version of OpenSSL.
227
228Loader
229-------
230
231A new loader (dloader) has been added which better handles booting from
232multiple kernel/module versions.
233
234To upgrade (Only for this upgrade, for post 2.8 upgrades see GENERAL below)
235
236	cd /usr/src
237	make buildworld
238	make installworld
239	make upgrade
240	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
241	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
242
243Note that you must installworld and run the 'upgrade' target before
244installing the new kernel.
245
246BIND
247-----
248
249BIND has been removed from the base system.  The ldns and drill tools have
250been added for basic functionality.  Use 'drill' where you would normally
251use nslookup or dig, or install BIND from pkgsrc.  It's available as
252net/bind95, net/bind96, or net/bind97 as of this writing.
253
254This only affects older systems upgrading to 2.8.  New 2.8+ installs
255include BIND as a pkgsrc package.
256
257+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
258+         UPGRADING DRAGONFLY ON AN EXISTING DRAGONFLY SYSTEM		+
259+				GENERAL					+
260+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
261
262Instructions on how to obtain and maintain DragonFly source code using git
263are in the development(7) manual page.
264
265To upgrade a DragonFly system from sources you run the following sequence:
266
267	cd /usr/src
268	make buildworld
269	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
270	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
271	make installworld
272
273You will also want to run the 'upgrade' target to upgrade your /etc and the
274rest of your system.  The upgrade target is aware of stale files created by
275older DragonFly installations and should delete them automatically.
276
277	make upgrade
278
279See the build(7) manual page for further information.
280
281Once you've done a full build of the world and kernel you can do incremental
282upgrades of either by using the 'quickworld' and 'quickkernel' targets
283instead of 'buildworld' and 'buildkernel'.  If you have any problems with
284the quick targets, try updating your repo first, and then a full buildworld
285and buildkernel as shown above, before asking for help.
286
287+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
288+         UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 2.0 TO DRAGONFLY >= 2.1		+
289+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
290
291In 2.1 kernel and modules has moved to boot directory.  For most cases
292this is handled automatically by 'make upgrade'.  A few cases needs manual
293intervention:
294
295 * When installing a kernel without first doing a make buildworld,
296   installworld and upgrade to the same DESTDIR as kernel:
297   make DESTDIR/boot directory and move kernel and modules into this boot
298   directory; also move kernel.old and modules.old.
299   Typical example is vkernel(7), use (no modules used):
300
301	cd /var/vkernel
302	mkdir boot
303	chflags noschg kernel
304	mv kernel kernel.old boot
305	chflags schg boot/kernel
306
307 * When using a boot-only partition, /boot/loader.rc needs to be edited:
308   delete occurrences of '/boot/'.
309   These occurences can normally be deleted in any case, see loader(8).
310
311+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
312+         UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 1.8 TO DRAGONFLY >= 1.9		+
313+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
314
315In 1.9 major changes to the disk management infrastructure have taken
316place.  make upgrade may not catch all of your disk devices in /dev,
317so after upgrading be sure to cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV <blah> where <blah>
318are all of your disk devices.  HOWEVER, from late 2.3 on we run devfs
319and MAKEDEV no longer exists.
320
321The biggest changes in 1.9 are:
322
323(1) That whole-slice devices such as da0s1 no longer share the same device
324    id as partition c devices such as da0s1c.
325
326(2) The whole-disk device (e.g. da0) is full raw access to the disk,
327    with no snooping or reserved sectors.  Consequently you cannot run
328    disklabel on this device.  Instead you must run disklabel on a
329    whole-slice device.
330
331(3) The 'compatibility' partitions now use slice 0 in the device name,
332    so instead of da0a you must specify da0s0a.  Also, as per (1) above,
333    accessing the disklabel for the compatibility partitions must be
334    done via slice 0 (da0s0).
335
336(4) Many device drivers that used to fake up labels, such as CD, ACD, VN,
337    and CCD now run through the disk management layer and are assigned
338    real disk management devices.   VN and CCD in particular do not usually
339    use a MBR and disklabels must be accessed through the compatibility
340    slice 0.  Your /etc/ccd.conf file still specifies 'ccd0', though, you
341    don't name it 'ccd0s0' in the config file.
342
343Generally speaking, you have to get used to running fdisk and disklabel on
344the correctly specified device names.  A lot of the wiggle, such as running
345disklabel on a partition, has been removed.
346

348+         UPGRADING FROM OLDER VERSIONS OF DRAGONFLY OR FREEBSD		+
349+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
350
351> Kerberos IV
352-------------
353
354Kerberos IV (eBones) was removed from the tree, please consider moving to
355Kerberos 5 (Heimdal).
356
357> Package Management System
358---------------------------
359
360Starting with the 1.4 release, DragonFly uses NetBSD's pkgsrc package
361management system.  The necessary tools to build and maintain packages
362are provided in /usr/pkg/bin and /usr/pkg/sbin.  Make sure that these
363directories are in your PATH variable.
364
365In order to obtain a reasonably current snapshot of the pkgsrc tree, use
366the tarball from NetBSD:
367
368	fetch -o /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc.tar.gz
369	cd /usr; tar -xzf /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz; chown -R root:wheel pkgsrc
370
371This tree can then be kept up to date with cvs update:
372
373	cd /usr/pkgsrc; cvs up
374
375NOTE! If you upgraded from a pre-1.4 system to 1.4 or later, you need to
376build and install the pkgsrc bootstrap manually:
377
378	cd /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap
379	./bootstrap --pkgdbdir /var/db/pkg --prefix /usr/pkg
380

383+         UPDATING FROM PRE-1.2 SYSTEMS OR FreeBSD 4.x TO               +
384+         DRAGONFLY 1.3+ (EITHER PREVIEW or HEAD)                       +
385+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
386
387The compatibility shims for the build environment have been removed, you
388have to update to DragonFly 1.2 release branch first.
389
390The default PAM configuration has moved from /etc/pam.conf to /etc/pam.d/.
391The existing configuration can be converted using /etc/pam.d/convert.sh.
392Entries in /etc/pam.d/ override entries in /etc/pam.conf. In addition
393the pam_skey.so module was retired, you have to remove it manually from
394your configuration, when you convert it.
395
396> Required user and group IDs when upgrading from either FreeBSD or DragonFly
397---------------------
398
399The following users may be missing from your password file.  Use vipw and
400add any that are missing:
401
402smmsp:*:25:25::0:0:Sendmail Submission User:/var/spool/clientmqueue:/sbin/nologin
403_pflogd:*:64:64::0:0:pflogd privsep user:/var/empty:/sbin/nologin
404
405The following groups may be missing from your group file.  Use vi /etc/group
406and add any that are missing:
407
408smmsp:*:25:
409authpf:*:63:
410_pflogd:*:64:
411
412
413> Upgrading to DragonFly from FreeBSD
414---------------------
415
416You can build the DragonFly world and DragonFly kernels on a FreeBSD-4.x or
417FreeBSD-5.x machine and then install DragonFly over FreeBSD, replacing
418FreeBSD.  Note that the DragonFly buildworld target does not try to reuse
419make depend information, it starts from scratch, so no pre-cleaning of the
420object hierarchy is necessary.
421
422	# get the CVS repository (it is placed in /home/dcvs, 500MB).
423	# Please use the -h option and a mirror site to pull the
424	# initial repository, but feel free to use the main repository
425	# machine to pull updates.
426	cvsup /usr/share/examples/cvsup/DragonFly-cvs-supfile
427	# install the source from the CVS hierarchy (remove preexisting
428	# FreeBSD src first) (500MB)
429	cd /usr
430	rm -rf src
431	cvs -R -d /home/dcvs checkout -P src
432
433	# build it (500MB used in /usr/obj)
434	#
435	cd /usr/src
436	make buildworld
437	make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
438
439Once you have built DragonFly you have to install it over FreeBSD.  Since
440DragonFly does not track changes made by FreeBSD to its include file
441hierarchy and include file pollution can cause all sorts of unexpected
442compilation issues to come up, it is best to wipe your include hierarchy
443prior to installing DragonFly.  Note that you should not wipe any installed
444FreeBSD header files or binaries until after you have successfully completed
445the build steps above.
446
447	rm -rf /usr/include
448	mkdir /usr/include
449	make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
450	make installworld
451
452Then you need to upgrade your system.  DragonFly's 'make upgrade' target
453will unconditionally upgrade the /etc files that sysops do not usually
454mess around with, such as the files in /etc/rc.d.  It will also remove any
455obsolete files such as utilities and manpages that have been removed from
456the system since the version you're coming from.  If you are unsure we
457recommend that you make a backup of at least your /etc before applying
458this step.  Note that DragonFly's RC system is basically RCNG from
459FreeBSD-5, but there are some differences in the contents of the RC files.
460
461	make upgrade
462
463NOTE! Never do a 'make upgrade' before 'make installworld' has been run.
464Doing so might leave your system in an unusable state.
465
466Finally we recommend that you do an 'ls -lta BLAH' for /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin,
467/usr/bin, and /usr/lib, and remove any stale files that you find.  Please
468report these files to the DragonFly developers so that they can be added to
469the 'upgrade' target.
470
471
