12 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.0 to later versions +
13 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
15 APIC_IO OPTION REMOVED
16 ----------------------
18 The APIC_IO kernel option is no longer accepted after having been without
19 effect for a while. The hw.ioapic_enable tunable now serves its purpose.
20 If you have 'options APIC_IO' in your kernel config, you'll have to
23 WATCHDOG_ENABLE & HW_WDOG OPTIONS REMOVED
24 -----------------------------------------
26 The wdog framework is now compiled into our kernels by default, so the
27 options are no longer needed.
32 doscmd(1) has been removed. It was i386 only. The doscmd(1) specific
33 NO_X make.conf option was removed too.
38 GCC 4.7 has been brought in and replaces GCC 4.1 as DragonFly's non-
39 default compiler in base (default is still GCC 4.4).
41 Users who wish to build only GCC 4.4 have to replace NO_GCC41 with
42 NO_GCC47 in /etc/make.conf.
44 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
45 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.10 to later versions +
46 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
48 SEVERAL ISA DRIVERS REMOVED
49 ---------------------------
51 The following ISA only drivers have been removed along with a couple of
52 associated userland tools:
68 tw(4) & xten(1) & xtend(8)
72 Note that two of these drivers (aha(4) and ie(4)) are in our GENERIC
73 config and one (aha(4)) is in our X86_64_GENERIC kernel configuration
76 If buildkernel complains about any of these drivers, just remove them
77 from your kernel configuration.
81 Binutils 2.20 has been removed in favor of Binutils 2.22. The accepted
82 values of BINUTILSVERS are now binutils221 and binutils222 (default).
84 BUILDWORLD/-KERNEL PARALLELIZATION WORK
85 ---------------------------------------
86 Due to changes in the way we build with more than one make job, you
87 will have to update install(1) and mkdir(1) prior to buildworld if you
88 want to build with 'make -j':
90 cd /usr/src/usr.bin/xinstall; make; make install; make clean
91 cd /usr/src/bin/mkdir; make; make install; make clean
95 dma(8) has been upgraded to v0.7 which no longer supports the
96 /etc/dma/virtusertable. Some of its functionality has been replaced
97 with the MASQUERADE keyword and the EMAIL environment variable (see
98 the dma(8) manual page).
100 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
101 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.8 to later versions +
102 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
104 GCC 4.4 & BINUTILS 2.21
105 -----------------------
107 GCC 4.4 has been made DragonFly's default compiler and Binutils 2.21 has
108 been made DragonFly's default Binutils.
110 That means that any settings that set CCVER to 'gcc44' are not needed
111 anymore. Instead, CCVER can be set to 'gcc41' to go back to using
114 It also means that 'binutils221' as a value for BINUTILSVER has no
115 effect anymore. 2.17 has been removed and 'binutils220' is available
118 The NO_GCC44 option has been removed and will not affect the build
119 anymore. There is now a NO_GCC41 option that will prevent GCC 4.1 from
120 building in a similar fashion.
122 Note that you must do a full buildworld/buildkernel for upgrading.
127 The config file for pkg_radd has moved from /etc/settings.conf to
128 /etc/pkg_radd.conf. Save the contents of settings.conf before upgrading
129 if this is needed. This warning only applies if /etc/settings.conf
130 exists. pkg_radd will continue to work with defaults.
132 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
134 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.6 to 2.8 or HEAD +
135 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
140 OpenSSL has been upgraded, and SHLIB_MAJOR was bumped for libssh and libcrypto.
141 This shouldn't break any 3rd-party software, but you'll need to recompile your
142 3rd-party software if you want it to link against the new version of OpenSSL.
147 A new loader (dloader) has been added which better handles booting from
148 multiple kernel/module versions.
150 To upgrade (Only for this upgrade, for post 2.8 upgrades see GENERAL below)
156 make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
157 make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
159 Note that you must installworld and run the 'upgrade' target before
160 installing the new kernel.
165 BIND has been removed from the base system. The ldns and drill tools have
166 been added for basic functionality. Use 'drill' where you would normally
167 use nslookup or dig, or install BIND from pkgsrc. It's available as
168 net/bind95, net/bind96, or net/bind97 as of this writing.
170 This only affects older systems upgrading to 2.8. New 2.8+ installs
171 include BIND as a pkgsrc package.
173 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
174 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY ON AN EXISTING DRAGONFLY SYSTEM +
176 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
178 Instructions on how to obtain and maintain DragonFly source code using git
179 are in the development(7) manual page.
181 To upgrade a DragonFly system from sources you run the following sequence:
185 make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
186 make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
189 You will also want to run the 'upgrade' target to upgrade your /etc and the
190 rest of your system. The upgrade target is aware of stale files created by
191 older DragonFly installations and should delete them automatically.
195 See the build(7) manual page for further information.
197 Once you've done a full build of the world and kernel you can do incremental
198 upgrades of either by using the 'quickworld' and 'quickkernel' targets
199 instead of 'buildworld' and 'buildkernel'. If you have any problems with
200 the quick targets, try updating your repo first, and then a full buildworld
201 and buildkernel as shown above, before asking for help.
203 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
204 + UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 2.0 TO DRAGONFLY >= 2.1 +
205 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
207 In 2.1 kernel and modules has moved to boot directory. For most cases
208 this is handled automatically by 'make upgrade'. A few cases needs manual
211 * When installing a kernel without first doing a make buildworld,
212 installworld and upgrade to the same DESTDIR as kernel:
213 make DESTDIR/boot directory and move kernel and modules into this boot
214 directory; also move kernel.old and modules.old.
215 Typical example is vkernel(7), use (no modules used):
219 chflags noschg kernel
220 mv kernel kernel.old boot
221 chflags schg boot/kernel
223 * When using a boot-only partition, /boot/loader.rc needs to be edited:
224 delete occurrences of '/boot/'.
225 These occurences can normally be deleted in any case, see loader(8).
227 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
228 + UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 1.8 TO DRAGONFLY >= 1.9 +
229 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
231 In 1.9 major changes to the disk management infrastructure have taken
232 place. make upgrade may not catch all of your disk devices in /dev,
233 so after upgrading be sure to cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV <blah> where <blah>
234 are all of your disk devices. HOWEVER, from late 2.3 on we run devfs
235 and MAKEDEV no longer exists.
237 The biggest changes in 1.9 are:
239 (1) That whole-slice devices such as da0s1 no longer share the same device
240 id as partition c devices such as da0s1c.
242 (2) The whole-disk device (e.g. da0) is full raw access to the disk,
243 with no snooping or reserved sectors. Consequently you cannot run
244 disklabel on this device. Instead you must run disklabel on a
247 (3) The 'compatibility' partitions now use slice 0 in the device name,
248 so instead of da0a you must specify da0s0a. Also, as per (1) above,
249 accessing the disklabel for the compatibility partitions must be
250 done via slice 0 (da0s0).
252 (4) Many device drivers that used to fake up labels, such as CD, ACD, VN,
253 and CCD now run through the disk management layer and are assigned
254 real disk management devices. VN and CCD in particular do not usually
255 use a MBR and disklabels must be accessed through the compatibility
256 slice 0. Your /etc/ccd.conf file still specifies 'ccd0', though, you
257 don't name it 'ccd0s0' in the config file.
259 Generally speaking, you have to get used to running fdisk and disklabel on
260 the correctly specified device names. A lot of the wiggle, such as running
261 disklabel on a partition, has been removed.
263 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
264 + UPGRADING FROM OLDER VERSIONS OF DRAGONFLY OR FREEBSD +
265 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
270 Kerberos IV (eBones) was removed from the tree, please consider moving to
271 Kerberos 5 (Heimdal).
273 > Package Management System
274 ---------------------------
276 Starting with the 1.4 release, DragonFly uses NetBSD's pkgsrc package
277 management system. The necessary tools to build and maintain packages
278 are provided in /usr/pkg/bin and /usr/pkg/sbin. Make sure that these
279 directories are in your PATH variable.
281 In order to obtain a reasonably current snapshot of the pkgsrc tree, use
282 the tarball from NetBSD:
284 fetch -o /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc.tar.gz
285 cd /usr; tar -xzf /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz; chown -R root:wheel pkgsrc
287 This tree can then be kept up to date with cvs update:
289 cd /usr/pkgsrc; cvs up
291 NOTE! If you upgraded from a pre-1.4 system to 1.4 or later, you need to
292 build and install the pkgsrc bootstrap manually:
294 cd /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap
295 ./bootstrap --pkgdbdir /var/db/pkg --prefix /usr/pkg

299 + UPDATING FROM PRE-1.2 SYSTEMS OR FreeBSD 4.x TO +
300 + DRAGONFLY 1.3+ (EITHER PREVIEW or HEAD) +
301 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
303 The compatibility shims for the build environment have been removed, you
304 have to update to DragonFly 1.2 release branch first.
306 The default PAM configuration has moved from /etc/pam.conf to /etc/pam.d/.
307 The existing configuration can be converted using /etc/pam.d/convert.sh.
308 Entries in /etc/pam.d/ override entries in /etc/pam.conf. In addition
309 the pam_skey.so module was retired, you have to remove it manually from
310 your configuration, when you convert it.
312 > Required user and group IDs when upgrading from either FreeBSD or DragonFly
313 ---------------------
315 The following users may be missing from your password file. Use vipw and
316 add any that are missing:
318 smmsp:*:25:25::0:0:Sendmail Submission User:/var/spool/clientmqueue:/sbin/nologin
319 _pflogd:*:64:64::0:0:pflogd privsep user:/var/empty:/sbin/nologin
321 The following groups may be missing from your group file. Use vi /etc/group
322 and add any that are missing:
329 > Upgrading to DragonFly from FreeBSD
330 ---------------------
332 You can build the DragonFly world and DragonFly kernels on a FreeBSD-4.x or
333 FreeBSD-5.x machine and then install DragonFly over FreeBSD, replacing
334 FreeBSD. Note that the DragonFly buildworld target does not try to reuse
335 make depend information, it starts from scratch, so no pre-cleaning of the
336 object hierarchy is necessary.
338 # get the CVS repository (it is placed in /home/dcvs, 500MB).
339 # Please use the -h option and a mirror site to pull the
340 # initial repository, but feel free to use the main repository
341 # machine to pull updates.
342 cvsup /usr/share/examples/cvsup/DragonFly-cvs-supfile
343 # install the source from the CVS hierarchy (remove preexisting
344 # FreeBSD src first) (500MB)
347 cvs -R -d /home/dcvs checkout -P src
349 # build it (500MB used in /usr/obj)
353 make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
355 Once you have built DragonFly you have to install it over FreeBSD. Since
356 DragonFly does not track changes made by FreeBSD to its include file
357 hierarchy and include file pollution can cause all sorts of unexpected
358 compilation issues to come up, it is best to wipe your include hierarchy
359 prior to installing DragonFly. Note that you should not wipe any installed
360 FreeBSD header files or binaries until after you have successfully completed
361 the build steps above.
365 make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
368 Then you need to upgrade your system. DragonFly's 'make upgrade' target
369 will unconditionally upgrade the /etc files that sysops do not usually
370 mess around with, such as the files in /etc/rc.d. It will also remove any
371 obsolete files such as utilities and manpages that have been removed from
372 the system since the version you're coming from. If you are unsure we
373 recommend that you make a backup of at least your /etc before applying
374 this step. Note that DragonFly's RC system is basically RCNG from
375 FreeBSD-5, but there are some differences in the contents of the RC files.
379 NOTE! Never do a 'make upgrade' before 'make installworld' has been run.
380 Doing so might leave your system in an unusable state.
382 Finally we recommend that you do an 'ls -lta BLAH' for /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin,
383 /usr/bin, and /usr/lib, and remove any stale files that you find. Please
384 report these files to the DragonFly developers so that they can be added to
385 the 'upgrade' target.
