13 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
18 dsched(4) has been removed and one of its kernel options, DSCHED_FQ, was
19 in our default kernel config file. So the DSCHED_FQ option has been turned
20 into a no-op for now and can be removed from custom configurations.
22 EST DRIVER REMOVED, COMPILE_ET AND LIBCOM_ERR TOO
23 -------------------------------------------------
25 The est(4) driver has been removed. All CPUs it supported (except one)
26 were 32 bits only. Those who are still using the Core 2 Duo T7500 should
27 report back if there are any issues with this CPU and our regular ACPI
30 Also, compile_et(1) and com_err(3) have been removed as well. They
31 should have been removed along with kerberos support, back in 2009.
33 SEVERAL LOCALES RENAMED
34 -----------------------
36 Several locales were using obsolete and misleading names, and thus have
37 been adjusted to current standards. Any users of the following locales
38 need to select alternates:

61 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
63 BINUTILS 2.25 REPLACES 2.22, PRIMARY
64 ------------------------------------
66 The oldest of the two versions of Binutils, version 2.22, was removed
67 and replaced with Binutils 2.25. It becomes the primary version version
68 of binutils and version 2.24 becomes the alternate. There are 8 current
69 CVE written against 2.24, so for security reasons version 2.25 should
72 The accepted values of BINUTILSVER are now "binutils225" (default) and
73 "binutils224". The building of Binutils 2.24 can be prevented by setting
74 NO_ALTBINUTILS=yes in make.conf.
76 LOADER OPTIONS CHANGED
77 ----------------------
79 Right after the development branch started, the Fred art accompanying the
80 loader menu was improved. The line between Fred and the menu was removed
81 by default (but can optionally be returned) and the placement shifted as
82 a result. The drawing was improved, and the colored version was improved,
83 changing the eyes and wing color from white to red. A new color version
84 of Fred was added, one with a blue scheme.
86 The loader menu defaults have changed since release 4.0: The vertical
87 line was removed, the loader is displayed in color by default*, and the
90 The loader.conf changes are:
91 loader_color: option has been removed
92 loader_plain: option has been added, it changed menu to monochrome
93 fred_is_red: changes color scheme from blue to red
94 fred_is_blue: option existed only on 4.1, it has been removed
95 fred_separated: Adds line between Fred and menu (as seen previously)
97 * If loader.conf defines "console" as "comconsole" or "console" is defined
98 in the environment as "comconsole" then color will not be displayed,
99 even if loader_plain value is "NO".
101 SENDMAIL REMOVED FROM BASE
102 --------------------------
104 The only Mail Transfer Agent provided now is DragonFly Mail Agent (dma).
105 If the system being upgraded is still configured to use the sendmail
106 binaries from base, the "make upgrade" command will fail.
108 The administrator must change /etc/mail/mailer.conf to switch the
109 mailwrapper to dma or a DPorts-based MTA prior to running the upgrade
110 command that permanently removes sendmail executables and could
111 potentially break a running mail server.
113 Refer: http://www.dragonflybsd.com/docs/docs/newhandbook/mta/ for
114 detailed instructions on how to configure the MTA selection.
116 _KPOSIX_VERSION and P1003_1B OPTIONS REMOVED
117 --------------------------------------------
119 The _KPOSIX_VERSION and P1003_1B kernel options have been changed to
120 no-ops. They can be removed from custom kernel configurations.
122 SOUND SYSTEM UPDATED FROM FreeBSD 11-CURRENT
123 --------------------------------------------
125 Many more sound devices may be detected.
127 If the default device choosen isn't to your liking, setting the sysctl
128 hw.snd.default_unit to a different number will change it.
133 Support for the SCTP protocol has been removed.
135 OLD USB DRIVERS REMOVED
136 -----------------------
138 The old USB stack, along with the kernel config option "device oldusb"
139 and the make.conf variable "WANT_OLDUSB" have been removed. This means
140 that for custom kernel configuration files which were derived from a
141 GENERIC or X86_64_GENERIC file prior to making the usb4bsd stack default,
142 various (old USB stack specific) devices will now complain about being
146 * natausb (not yet ported to usb4bsd)
147 * rue (not yet ported to usb4bsd)
148 * ugen (no longer needed in usb4bsd)
149 * urio (not yet ported to usb4bsd)
150 * uscanner (no longer needed in usb4bsd)
152 They should be removed or commented out in such custom kernel configs.
157 The GCC 4.4 compiler has been retired. It has been replaced by a GCC 5.1.
158 The following make.conf variables no longer work: NO_GCC44, NO_OBJC, and
159 NO_CXX. The latter was never documented and the latest versions of GCC are
160 partially written in C++ so a C++ compiler is no longer optional. In
161 practical terms it has not been optional for many years as other base
162 components are also written in C++. The resource savings by avoiding
163 building Objective-C compiler is so small, the complexity added by NO_OBJC
164 internally was deemed a bad tradeoff so that is the reason for its removal.
165 Also note that no "info" pages are installed with GCC 5. After this entry
166 was originally written, all info pages were removed from DragonFly.
168 GCC 5.1 has been designated as the primary compiler. As such, there is a
169 new make.conf variable, NO_ALTCOMPILER. It will block the rebuilding of
170 the designated secondary compiler, GCC 4.7. However, while DPorts
171 primarily uses GCC 5 to build ports now, it still uses GCC 4.7 as well, so
172 if building ports from source is desired, don't block building of the

176 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.8 TO LATER VERSIONS +
177 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
179 SMP AND DEVICE_POLLING OPTIONS MADE UNKNOWN
180 -------------------------------------------
182 DEVICE_POLLING was replaced by IFPOLL_ENABLE and the former SMP code is
183 the default now (even on single-core systems), both for, like, 21 months.
184 We kept the options around as no-ops as a convenience, to allow people
185 using the same config for the then current release and the then current
186 master. That period is now over, so any configs still having those
187 options have to be adjusted.
189 SYSVIPC SYSCALLS MADE NON-OPTIONAL
190 ----------------------------------
192 The code related to the SYSVMSG, SYSVSEM and SYSVSHM kernel options is
193 now compiled in by default. The options are no-ops for now.
195 DEFAULT DRIVER CHANGED FOR LSI "THUNDERBOLT" SERIES RAID CONTROLLERS
196 --------------------------------------------------------------------
198 The default driver for those controllers is now mrsas(4) due to reports
199 of file system corruption using the mfi(4) driver. The whole issue (and
200 how to deal with potential problems when switching) was explained here:
202 http://lists.dragonflybsd.org/pipermail/users/2014-July/128703.html
204 A tunable is provided for letting those controllers still attach via
205 the mfi(4) driver, hw.mrsas.mfi_enable (see mrsas(4) manual page).
207 OLDER NETWORK DRIVERS MOVED TO I386 ONLY
208 ----------------------------------------
210 The following drivers have been made i386 only: ed(4), sr(4), ng_sync_ar
211 and ng_sync_sr. ed(4) used to be in X86_64_GENERIC, so it has to be
212 removed in kernel configs derived from X86_64_GENERIC.
214 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
215 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.6 TO LATER VERSIONS +
216 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
218 UPDATE FROM MOST RECENT 3.6
219 ---------------------------
221 Versions of 3.6 built before June 25th have a bug where installworld might
222 crash during installation of the new initrd. Upgrade to the latest version
223 of 3.6 before updating to 3.8 or later.
225 ATM, IPX, NCP AND NWFS SUPPORT DROPPED
226 --------------------------------------
228 Support for the IPX and NCP network protocols and for mouting NetWare
229 file systems has been dropped. Dito for ATM protocol support.
231 INITRD IMAGES NOW INSTALLED BY DEFAULT
232 --------------------------------------
234 An initial ramdisk image is now installed in /boot/kernel/initrd.img.gz
236 Older images installed under the file name of initrd.img will be removed
237 automatically by the make upgrade process.
239 USB4BSD IS NOW THE DEFAULT USB STACK
240 ------------------------------------
242 To get back to the old stack, put "WANT_OLDUSB=yes" in /etc/make.conf and
243 replace "device usb" with "device oldusb" in the kernel configuration.
245 MORE ISA SUPPORT DROPPED
246 ------------------------
248 ISA support has been dropped from the following drivers: adv(4), an(4),
249 ar(4), cs(4), digi(4), ed(4), ep(4), ex(4), fe(4), lnc(4), sbni(4),
250 si(4), sn(4), and stg(4).
252 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
253 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.4 TO LATER VERSIONS +
254 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
259 Installed third-party software (dports) will have to be rebuilt after upgrade,
260 or reinstalled from binary packages.
262 UPDATING FROM 3.4 TO 3.6
263 ------------------------
265 This only applies for this specific upgrade due to locale changes; it is
266 not needed for upgrades after 3.6. Please update in this order:
275 See this mailing list post for details:
276 http://lists.dragonflybsd.org/pipermail/users/2013-September/090163.html
278 CYRIX OPTIONS REMOVED
279 ---------------------
281 The following Cyrix related options have been removed: CPU_BTB_EN,
282 CPU_CYRIX_NO_LOCK, CPU_DIRECT_MAPPED_CACHE, CPU_DISABLE_5X86_LSSER,
283 CPU_FASTER_5X86_FPU, CPU_IORT, CPU_LOOP_EN, CPU_RSTK_EN, CPU_SUSP_HLT,
284 CYRIX_CACHE_WORKS, and CYRIX_CACHE_REALLY_WORKS
286 ISA SUPPORT REMOVED FROM RP(4)
287 ------------------------------
289 ISA support has been removed from the rp(4) driver. It is now PCI only.
291 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
292 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.2 TO LATER VERSIONS +
293 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
295 COMPAT_SUNOS OPTION REMOVED
296 ---------------------------
298 The COMPAT_SUNOS option has been removed. It was meant to provide binary
299 compatibility with SunOS 4.x for the sparc32 port of 4.4BSD.
301 ISA SOUND CARD SUPPORT REMOVED
302 ------------------------------
304 The following modules have been removed (all for ISA sound cards):
305 snd_ad1816.ko, snd_ess.ko, snd_mss.ko, snd_sb8.ko, snd_sb16.ko, snd_sbc.ko
310 DragonFly has switched base compilers. GCC 4.7 is now the default
311 compiler and GCC 4.4 is the alternative compiler. The "NO_GCC47" make
312 variable ceases to work now.
314 Users who wish to build only GCC 4.7 have to use NO_GCC44 in the
315 /etc/make.conf to prohibit GCC 4.4 from building. However, using it is
316 highly discouraged. There are a few packages in pkgsrc that do not build
317 with GCC 4.7 and the new "DPorts" system uses GCC 4.4 by default. At
318 this time, it is recommended to keep both compilers on the base system.
323 The SMP kernel option has been made a no-op. All kernels now feature SMP
324 support. If you have 'options SMP' in your kernel config, you can as well
327 DEVICE_POLLING OPTION REPLACED BY IFPOLL_ENABLE OPTION, KTR_POLLING REMOVED
328 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
330 The DEVICE_POLLING kernel option has been made a no-op and it has been
331 replaced by IFPOLL_ENABLE. If you have 'options DEVICE_POLLING' in your
332 kernel config, you need to change it to IFPOLL_ENABLE.
334 Also, the KTR_POLLING kernel option has been removed, so it must be
335 removed from kernel configs that have it.
337 BUSLOGIC, CYCLADES AND STALLION ISA SUPPORT REMOVED
338 ---------------------------------------------------
340 The bt(4) driver for Buslogic SCSI adapters has been made PCI only. ISA
341 cards will no longer be detected.
343 The same has been done for Stallion multiport serial controllers. stli(4)
344 has been completely removed (along with the stlload(8) and stlstty(8)
345 utilities) and stl(4) was changed to support only PCI cards. Similarly,
346 ISA support was removed from cy(4) too. All these drivers are i386 only.
348 COMPAT_OLDISA OPTION GONE
349 -------------------------
351 The i386 specific COMPAT_OLDISA kernel option has been removed, since
352 nothing needs it anymore.
354 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
355 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.0 TO LATER VERSIONS +
356 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
358 APIC_IO OPTION REMOVED
359 ----------------------
361 The APIC_IO kernel option is no longer accepted after having been without
362 effect for a while. The hw.ioapic_enable tunable now serves its purpose.
363 If you have 'options APIC_IO' in your kernel config, you'll have to
366 WATCHDOG_ENABLE & HW_WDOG OPTIONS REMOVED
367 -----------------------------------------
369 The wdog framework is now compiled into our kernels by default, so the
370 options are no longer needed.
375 doscmd(1) has been removed. It was i386 only. The doscmd(1) specific
376 NO_X make.conf option was removed too.
381 GCC 4.7 has been brought in and replaces GCC 4.1 as DragonFly's non-
382 default compiler in base (default is still GCC 4.4).
384 Users who wish to build only GCC 4.4 have to replace NO_GCC41 with
385 NO_GCC47 in /etc/make.conf.
390 A new USB stack (from FreeBSD) has been brought in. The following
391 modules have been ported so far: usb, uhci, ohci, ehci, xhci, umass,
392 usfs, uether, if_axe, if_udav, ukbd, ums, uep, uhid, usb_quirk,
395 It is not yet the default. To activate it, WANT_USB4BSD=yes has to
396 be put in make.conf and device "usb4bsd" (quotes needed) has to
397 replace device usb in the kernel config. After that, a full
398 build/install/upgrade cycle is needed.
400 Note that this is experimental and incomplete, but we are interested
401 in hearing about issues with it, of course.
403 ISA SUPPORT REMOVED FROM AIC-6260/6360 DRIVER
404 ---------------------------------------------
406 ISA adapter support was dropped from the aic(4) driver.
408 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
409 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.10 TO LATER VERSIONS +
410 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
412 SEVERAL ISA DRIVERS REMOVED
413 ---------------------------
415 The following ISA only drivers have been removed along with a couple of
416 associated userland tools:
432 tw(4) & xten(1) & xtend(8)
436 Note that two of these drivers (aha(4) and ie(4)) are in our GENERIC
437 config and one (aha(4)) is in our X86_64_GENERIC kernel configuration
440 If buildkernel complains about any of these drivers, just remove them
441 from your kernel configuration.
445 Binutils 2.20 has been removed in favor of Binutils 2.22. The accepted
446 values of BINUTILSVERS are now binutils221 and binutils222 (default).
448 BUILDWORLD/-KERNEL PARALLELIZATION WORK
449 ---------------------------------------
450 Due to changes in the way we build with more than one make job, you
451 will have to update install(1) and mkdir(1) prior to buildworld if you
452 want to build with 'make -j':
454 cd /usr/src/usr.bin/xinstall; make; make install; make clean
455 cd /usr/src/bin/mkdir; make; make install; make clean
459 dma(8) has been upgraded to v0.7 which no longer supports the
460 /etc/dma/virtusertable. Some of its functionality has been replaced
461 with the MASQUERADE keyword and the EMAIL environment variable (see
462 the dma(8) manual page).
464 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
465 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.8 TO LATER VERSIONS +
466 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
468 GCC 4.4 & BINUTILS 2.21
469 -----------------------
471 GCC 4.4 has been made DragonFly's default compiler and Binutils 2.21 has
472 been made DragonFly's default Binutils.
474 That means that any settings that set CCVER to 'gcc44' are not needed
475 anymore. Instead, CCVER can be set to 'gcc41' to go back to using
478 It also means that 'binutils221' as a value for BINUTILSVER has no
479 effect anymore. 2.17 has been removed and 'binutils220' is available
482 The NO_GCC44 option has been removed and will not affect the build
483 anymore. There is now a NO_GCC41 option that will prevent GCC 4.1 from
484 building in a similar fashion.
486 Note that you must do a full buildworld/buildkernel for upgrading.
491 The config file for pkg_radd has moved from /etc/settings.conf to
492 /etc/pkg_radd.conf. Save the contents of settings.conf before upgrading
493 if this is needed. This warning only applies if /etc/settings.conf
494 exists. pkg_radd will continue to work with defaults.
496 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
498 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.6 to 2.8 or HEAD +
499 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
504 OpenSSL has been upgraded, and SHLIB_MAJOR was bumped for libssh and libcrypto.
505 This shouldn't break any 3rd-party software, but you'll need to recompile your
506 3rd-party software if you want it to link against the new version of OpenSSL.
511 A new loader (dloader) has been added which better handles booting from
512 multiple kernel/module versions.
514 To upgrade (Only for this upgrade, for post 2.8 upgrades see GENERAL below)
520 make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
521 make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
523 Note that you must installworld and run the 'upgrade' target before
524 installing the new kernel.
529 BIND has been removed from the base system. The ldns and drill tools have
530 been added for basic functionality. Use 'drill' where you would normally
531 use nslookup or dig, or install BIND from pkgsrc. It's available as
532 net/bind95, net/bind96, or net/bind97 as of this writing.
534 This only affects older systems upgrading to 2.8. New 2.8+ installs
535 include BIND as a pkgsrc package.
537 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
538 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY ON AN EXISTING DRAGONFLY SYSTEM +
540 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
542 Instructions on how to obtain and maintain DragonFly source code using git
543 are in the development(7) manual page.
545 To upgrade a DragonFly system from sources you run the following sequence:
549 make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
550 make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
553 You will also want to run the 'upgrade' target to upgrade your /etc and the
554 rest of your system. The upgrade target is aware of stale files created by
555 older DragonFly installations and should delete them automatically.
559 See the build(7) manual page for further information.
561 Once you've done a full build of the world and kernel you can do incremental
562 upgrades of either by using the 'quickworld' and 'quickkernel' targets
563 instead of 'buildworld' and 'buildkernel'. If you have any problems with
564 the quick targets, try updating your repo first, and then a full buildworld
565 and buildkernel as shown above, before asking for help.
567 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
568 + UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 2.0 TO DRAGONFLY >= 2.1 +
569 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
571 In 2.1 kernel and modules has moved to boot directory. For most cases
572 this is handled automatically by 'make upgrade'. A few cases needs manual
575 * When installing a kernel without first doing a make buildworld,
576 installworld and upgrade to the same DESTDIR as kernel:
577 make DESTDIR/boot directory and move kernel and modules into this boot
578 directory; also move kernel.old and modules.old.
579 Typical example is vkernel(7), use (no modules used):
583 chflags noschg kernel
584 mv kernel kernel.old boot
585 chflags schg boot/kernel
587 * When using a boot-only partition, /boot/loader.rc needs to be edited:
588 delete occurrences of '/boot/'.
589 These occurences can normally be deleted in any case, see loader(8).
591 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
592 + UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 1.8 TO DRAGONFLY >= 1.9 +
593 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
595 In 1.9 major changes to the disk management infrastructure have taken
596 place. make upgrade may not catch all of your disk devices in /dev,
597 so after upgrading be sure to cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV <blah> where <blah>
598 are all of your disk devices. HOWEVER, from late 2.3 on we run devfs
599 and MAKEDEV no longer exists.
601 The biggest changes in 1.9 are:
603 (1) That whole-slice devices such as da0s1 no longer share the same device
604 id as partition c devices such as da0s1c.
606 (2) The whole-disk device (e.g. da0) is full raw access to the disk,
607 with no snooping or reserved sectors. Consequently you cannot run
608 disklabel on this device. Instead you must run disklabel on a
611 (3) The 'compatibility' partitions now use slice 0 in the device name,
612 so instead of da0a you must specify da0s0a. Also, as per (1) above,
613 accessing the disklabel for the compatibility partitions must be
614 done via slice 0 (da0s0).
616 (4) Many device drivers that used to fake up labels, such as CD, ACD, VN,
617 and CCD now run through the disk management layer and are assigned
618 real disk management devices. VN and CCD in particular do not usually
619 use a MBR and disklabels must be accessed through the compatibility
620 slice 0. Your /etc/ccd.conf file still specifies 'ccd0', though, you
621 don't name it 'ccd0s0' in the config file.
623 Generally speaking, you have to get used to running fdisk and disklabel on
624 the correctly specified device names. A lot of the wiggle, such as running
625 disklabel on a partition, has been removed.

629 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
634 Kerberos IV (eBones) was removed from the tree, please consider moving to
635 Kerberos 5 (Heimdal).
637 > Package Management System
638 ---------------------------
640 Starting with the 1.4 release, DragonFly uses NetBSD's pkgsrc package
641 management system. The necessary tools to build and maintain packages
642 are provided in /usr/pkg/bin and /usr/pkg/sbin. Make sure that these
643 directories are in your PATH variable.
645 In order to obtain a reasonably current snapshot of the pkgsrc tree, use
646 the tarball from NetBSD:
648 fetch -o /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc.tar.gz
649 cd /usr; tar -xzf /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz; chown -R root:wheel pkgsrc
651 This tree can then be kept up to date with cvs update:
653 cd /usr/pkgsrc; cvs up
655 NOTE! If you upgraded from a pre-1.4 system to 1.4 or later, you need to
656 build and install the pkgsrc bootstrap manually:
658 cd /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap
659 ./bootstrap --pkgdbdir /var/db/pkg --prefix /usr/pkg

667 The compatibility shims for the build environment have been removed, you
668 have to update to DragonFly 1.2 release branch first.
670 The default PAM configuration has moved from /etc/pam.conf to /etc/pam.d/.
671 The existing configuration can be converted using /etc/pam.d/convert.sh.
672 Entries in /etc/pam.d/ override entries in /etc/pam.conf. In addition
673 the pam_skey.so module was retired, you have to remove it manually from
674 your configuration, when you convert it.

693 > Upgrading to DragonFly from FreeBSD
694 ---------------------
696 You can build the DragonFly world and DragonFly kernels on a FreeBSD-4.x or
697 FreeBSD-5.x machine and then install DragonFly over FreeBSD, replacing
698 FreeBSD. Note that the DragonFly buildworld target does not try to reuse
699 make depend information, it starts from scratch, so no pre-cleaning of the
700 object hierarchy is necessary.
702 # get the CVS repository (it is placed in /home/dcvs, 500MB).
703 # Please use the -h option and a mirror site to pull the
704 # initial repository, but feel free to use the main repository
705 # machine to pull updates.
706 cvsup /usr/share/examples/cvsup/DragonFly-cvs-supfile
707 # install the source from the CVS hierarchy (remove preexisting
708 # FreeBSD src first) (500MB)
711 cvs -R -d /home/dcvs checkout -P src
713 # build it (500MB used in /usr/obj)
717 make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
719 Once you have built DragonFly you have to install it over FreeBSD. Since
720 DragonFly does not track changes made by FreeBSD to its include file
721 hierarchy and include file pollution can cause all sorts of unexpected
722 compilation issues to come up, it is best to wipe your include hierarchy
723 prior to installing DragonFly. Note that you should not wipe any installed
724 FreeBSD header files or binaries until after you have successfully completed
725 the build steps above.
729 make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
732 Then you need to upgrade your system. DragonFly's 'make upgrade' target
733 will unconditionally upgrade the /etc files that sysops do not usually
734 mess around with, such as the files in /etc/rc.d. It will also remove any
735 obsolete files such as utilities and manpages that have been removed from
736 the system since the version you're coming from. If you are unsure we
737 recommend that you make a backup of at least your /etc before applying
738 this step. Note that DragonFly's RC system is basically RCNG from
739 FreeBSD-5, but there are some differences in the contents of the RC files.
743 NOTE! Never do a 'make upgrade' before 'make installworld' has been run.
744 Doing so might leave your system in an unusable state.
746 Finally we recommend that you do an 'ls -lta BLAH' for /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin,
747 /usr/bin, and /usr/lib, and remove any stale files that you find. Please
748 report these files to the DragonFly developers so that they can be added to
749 the 'upgrade' target.
