12 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 4.6 TO LATER VERSIONS +
13 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
15 BINUTILS 2.27 REPLACES 2.24, PRIMARY
16 ------------------------------------
18 The oldest of the two versions of Binutils, version 2.24, was removed
19 and replaced with Binutils 2.27. It becomes the primary version version
20 of binutils and version 2.25 becomes the alternate.
22 The accepted values of BINUTILSVER are now "binutils227" (default) and
23 "binutils225". The building of Binutils 2.25 can be prevented by setting
24 NO_ALTBINUTILS=yes in make.conf.
26 COMPAT_43 KERNEL OPTION REMOVED
27 -------------------------------
29 It was commented out in our default configs for several years now, but
30 might still be present in custom configs created before Nov. 2011.
32 OPENSSL REMOVED
33 ---------------
35 OpenSSL has been removed from base and replaced with a private version of
36 LibreSSL. The previously installed OpenSSL libraries, headers, and man
37 pages will remain on the system unless the "make upgrade" command is
38 specifically instructed to remove them. To do this, define
39 REMOVE_OPENSSL_FILES for the upgrade command, e.g.
40 "make upgrade REMOVE_OPENSSL_FILES=yes"
42 28-Oct-2016: openssl has been replaced by ressl. It is recommended that any
43 stale OpenSSL files be removed to avoid configuration scripts from using
44 the stale and potentially vulnerable version, but all binaries that are
45 dynamically linked to the OpenSSL libraries should be rebuilt first to
46 avoid breakage.
48 CS, EX AND VX DRIVERS REMOVED
49 -----------------------------
51 The cs(4), ex(4) and vx(4) drivers have been removed. They were very
52 old and its doubtful they ever worked properly in x86_64 but they were
53 in X86_64_GENERIC, so custom configurations derived from it have to be
54 adjusted.
56 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
57 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 4.4 TO LATER VERSIONS +
58 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
60 AMD REMOVED
61 -----------
63 The am-utils automounter suite has been removed. It stopped working
64 at some point and was never fixed. autofs(5) and the associated
65 userland has been brought in from FreeBSD and replaces it.
67 AN DRIVER REMOVED
68 -----------------
70 The an(4) driver has been removed. It was in the X86_64_GENERIC kernel
71 config file, so any configurations derived from it have to be adjusted.
73 /DEV/DRI GROUP CHANGED
74 ----------------------
76 The default group assigned to /dev/dri entries has been changed
77 from 'wheel' to 'video' with the id of '44'. If you want to have
78 access to the dri devices please add yourself to the video group
79 with:
81 # pw groupmod video -m $USER
83 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
84 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 4.2 TO LATER VERSIONS +
85 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
87 DSCHED REMOVED
88 --------------
90 dsched(4) has been removed and one of its kernel options, DSCHED_FQ, was
91 in our default kernel config file. So the DSCHED_FQ option has been turned
92 into a no-op for now and can be removed from custom configurations.
94 EST DRIVER REMOVED, COMPILE_ET AND LIBCOM_ERR TOO
95 -------------------------------------------------
97 The est(4) driver has been removed. All CPUs it supported (except one)
98 were 32 bits only. Those who are still using the Core 2 Duo T7500 should
99 report back if there are any issues with this CPU and our regular ACPI
100 P-state support.
102 Also, compile_et(1) and com_err(3) have been removed as well. They
103 should have been removed along with kerberos support, back in 2009.
105 SEVERAL LOCALES RENAMED
106 -----------------------
108 Several locales were using obsolete and misleading names, and thus have
109 been adjusted to current standards. Any users of the following locales
110 need to select alternates:
112 DFLY 4.2 locale DFLY 4.4 alterative locale
113 --------------- ------------------------------------
114 mn_MN.UTF-8 mn_Cyrl_MN.UTF-8
115 no_NO.UTF-8 nb_NO.UTF-8 or nn_NO.UTF-8
116 no_NO.ISO8859-1 nb_NO.ISO8869-1 or nn_NO.ISO8859-1

132 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 4.0 TO LATER VERSIONS +
133 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
135 BINUTILS 2.25 REPLACES 2.22, PRIMARY
136 ------------------------------------
138 The oldest of the two versions of Binutils, version 2.22, was removed
139 and replaced with Binutils 2.25. It becomes the primary version version
140 of binutils and version 2.24 becomes the alternate. There are 8 current
141 CVE written against 2.24, so for security reasons version 2.25 should
142 always be used.
144 The accepted values of BINUTILSVER are now "binutils225" (default) and
145 "binutils224". The building of Binutils 2.24 can be prevented by setting
146 NO_ALTBINUTILS=yes in make.conf.
148 LOADER OPTIONS CHANGED
149 ----------------------
151 Right after the development branch started, the Fred art accompanying the
152 loader menu was improved. The line between Fred and the menu was removed
153 by default (but can optionally be returned) and the placement shifted as
154 a result. The drawing was improved, and the colored version was improved,
155 changing the eyes and wing color from white to red. A new color version
156 of Fred was added, one with a blue scheme.
158 The loader menu defaults have changed since release 4.0: The vertical
159 line was removed, the loader is displayed in color by default*, and the
160 blue scheme is used.
162 The loader.conf changes are:
163 loader_color: option has been removed
164 loader_plain: option has been added, it changed menu to monochrome
165 fred_is_red: changes color scheme from blue to red
166 fred_is_blue: option existed only on 4.1, it has been removed
167 fred_separated: Adds line between Fred and menu (as seen previously)
169 * If loader.conf defines "console" as "comconsole" or "console" is defined
170 in the environment as "comconsole" then color will not be displayed,
171 even if loader_plain value is "NO".
173 SENDMAIL REMOVED FROM BASE
174 --------------------------
176 The only Mail Transfer Agent provided now is DragonFly Mail Agent (dma).
177 If the system being upgraded is still configured to use the sendmail
178 binaries from base, the "make upgrade" command will fail.
180 The administrator must change /etc/mail/mailer.conf to switch the
181 mailwrapper to dma or a DPorts-based MTA prior to running the upgrade
182 command that permanently removes sendmail executables and could
183 potentially break a running mail server.
185 Refer: http://www.dragonflybsd.com/docs/docs/newhandbook/mta/ for
186 detailed instructions on how to configure the MTA selection.
188 _KPOSIX_VERSION and P1003_1B OPTIONS REMOVED
189 --------------------------------------------
191 The _KPOSIX_VERSION and P1003_1B kernel options have been changed to
192 no-ops. They can be removed from custom kernel configurations.
194 SOUND SYSTEM UPDATED FROM FreeBSD 11-CURRENT
195 --------------------------------------------
197 Many more sound devices may be detected.
199 If the default device choosen isn't to your liking, setting the sysctl
200 hw.snd.default_unit to a different number will change it.
202 SCTP SUPPORT DROPPED
203 --------------------
205 Support for the SCTP protocol has been removed.
207 OLD USB DRIVERS REMOVED
208 -----------------------
210 The old USB stack, along with the kernel config option "device oldusb"
211 and the make.conf variable "WANT_OLDUSB" have been removed. This means
212 that for custom kernel configuration files which were derived from a
213 GENERIC or X86_64_GENERIC file prior to making the usb4bsd stack default,
214 various (old USB stack specific) devices will now complain about being
215 unknown:
217 * oldusb (obviously)
218 * natausb (not yet ported to usb4bsd)
219 * rue (not yet ported to usb4bsd)
220 * ugen (no longer needed in usb4bsd)
221 * urio (not yet ported to usb4bsd)
222 * uscanner (no longer needed in usb4bsd)
224 They should be removed or commented out in such custom kernel configs.
226 GCC 5
227 -----
229 The GCC 4.4 compiler has been retired. It has been replaced by a GCC 5.1.
230 The following make.conf variables no longer work: NO_GCC44, NO_OBJC, and
231 NO_CXX. The latter was never documented and the latest versions of GCC are
232 partially written in C++ so a C++ compiler is no longer optional. In
233 practical terms it has not been optional for many years as other base
234 components are also written in C++. The resource savings by avoiding
235 building Objective-C compiler is so small, the complexity added by NO_OBJC
236 internally was deemed a bad tradeoff so that is the reason for its removal.
237 Also note that no "info" pages are installed with GCC 5. After this entry
238 was originally written, all info pages were removed from DragonFly.
240 GCC 5.1 has been designated as the primary compiler. As such, there is a
241 new make.conf variable, NO_ALTCOMPILER. It will block the rebuilding of
242 the designated secondary compiler, GCC 4.7. However, while DPorts
243 primarily uses GCC 5 to build ports now, it still uses GCC 4.7 as well, so
244 if building ports from source is desired, don't block building of the
245 secondary compiler.
247 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
248 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.8 TO LATER VERSIONS +
249 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
251 SMP AND DEVICE_POLLING OPTIONS MADE UNKNOWN
252 -------------------------------------------
254 DEVICE_POLLING was replaced by IFPOLL_ENABLE and the former SMP code is
255 the default now (even on single-core systems), both for, like, 21 months.
256 We kept the options around as no-ops as a convenience, to allow people
257 using the same config for the then current release and the then current
258 master. That period is now over, so any configs still having those
259 options have to be adjusted.
261 SYSVIPC SYSCALLS MADE NON-OPTIONAL
262 ----------------------------------
264 The code related to the SYSVMSG, SYSVSEM and SYSVSHM kernel options is
265 now compiled in by default. The options are no-ops for now.
267 DEFAULT DRIVER CHANGED FOR LSI "THUNDERBOLT" SERIES RAID CONTROLLERS
268 --------------------------------------------------------------------
270 The default driver for those controllers is now mrsas(4) due to reports
271 of file system corruption using the mfi(4) driver. The whole issue (and
272 how to deal with potential problems when switching) was explained here:
274 http://lists.dragonflybsd.org/pipermail/users/2014-July/128703.html
276 A tunable is provided for letting those controllers still attach via
277 the mfi(4) driver, hw.mrsas.mfi_enable (see mrsas(4) manual page).
279 OLDER NETWORK DRIVERS MOVED TO I386 ONLY
280 ----------------------------------------
282 The following drivers have been made i386 only: ed(4), sr(4), ng_sync_ar
283 and ng_sync_sr. ed(4) used to be in X86_64_GENERIC, so it has to be
284 removed in kernel configs derived from X86_64_GENERIC.
286 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
287 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.6 TO LATER VERSIONS +
288 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
290 UPDATE FROM MOST RECENT 3.6
291 ---------------------------
293 Versions of 3.6 built before June 25th have a bug where installworld might
294 crash during installation of the new initrd. Upgrade to the latest version
295 of 3.6 before updating to 3.8 or later.
297 ATM, IPX, NCP AND NWFS SUPPORT DROPPED
298 --------------------------------------
300 Support for the IPX and NCP network protocols and for mouting NetWare
301 file systems has been dropped. Dito for ATM protocol support.
303 INITRD IMAGES NOW INSTALLED BY DEFAULT
304 --------------------------------------
306 An initial ramdisk image is now installed in /boot/kernel/initrd.img.gz
308 Older images installed under the file name of initrd.img will be removed
309 automatically by the make upgrade process.
311 USB4BSD IS NOW THE DEFAULT USB STACK
312 ------------------------------------
314 To get back to the old stack, put "WANT_OLDUSB=yes" in /etc/make.conf and
315 replace "device usb" with "device oldusb" in the kernel configuration.
317 MORE ISA SUPPORT DROPPED
318 ------------------------
320 ISA support has been dropped from the following drivers: adv(4), an(4),
321 ar(4), cs(4), digi(4), ed(4), ep(4), ex(4), fe(4), lnc(4), sbni(4),
322 si(4), sn(4), and stg(4).
324 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
325 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.4 TO LATER VERSIONS +
326 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
328 ABI CHANGE
329 ----------
331 Installed third-party software (dports) will have to be rebuilt after upgrade,
332 or reinstalled from binary packages.
334 UPDATING FROM 3.4 TO 3.6
335 ------------------------
337 This only applies for this specific upgrade due to locale changes; it is
338 not needed for upgrades after 3.6. Please update in this order:
340 make buildworld
341 make buildkernel
342 make installworld
343 make installkernel
344 *reboot*
345 make upgrade
347 See this mailing list post for details:
348 http://lists.dragonflybsd.org/pipermail/users/2013-September/090163.html
350 CYRIX OPTIONS REMOVED
351 ---------------------
353 The following Cyrix related options have been removed: CPU_BTB_EN,
354 CPU_CYRIX_NO_LOCK, CPU_DIRECT_MAPPED_CACHE, CPU_DISABLE_5X86_LSSER,
355 CPU_FASTER_5X86_FPU, CPU_IORT, CPU_LOOP_EN, CPU_RSTK_EN, CPU_SUSP_HLT,
356 CYRIX_CACHE_WORKS, and CYRIX_CACHE_REALLY_WORKS
358 ISA SUPPORT REMOVED FROM RP(4)
359 ------------------------------
361 ISA support has been removed from the rp(4) driver. It is now PCI only.
363 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
364 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.2 TO LATER VERSIONS +
365 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
367 COMPAT_SUNOS OPTION REMOVED
368 ---------------------------
370 The COMPAT_SUNOS option has been removed. It was meant to provide binary
371 compatibility with SunOS 4.x for the sparc32 port of 4.4BSD.
373 ISA SOUND CARD SUPPORT REMOVED
374 ------------------------------
376 The following modules have been removed (all for ISA sound cards):
377 snd_ad1816.ko, snd_ess.ko, snd_mss.ko, snd_sb8.ko, snd_sb16.ko, snd_sbc.ko
379 GCC 4.7
380 -------
382 DragonFly has switched base compilers. GCC 4.7 is now the default
383 compiler and GCC 4.4 is the alternative compiler. The "NO_GCC47" make
384 variable ceases to work now.
386 Users who wish to build only GCC 4.7 have to use NO_GCC44 in the
387 /etc/make.conf to prohibit GCC 4.4 from building. However, using it is
388 highly discouraged. There are a few packages in pkgsrc that do not build
389 with GCC 4.7 and the new "DPorts" system uses GCC 4.4 by default. At
390 this time, it is recommended to keep both compilers on the base system.
392 SMP OPTION REMOVED
393 ------------------
395 The SMP kernel option has been made a no-op. All kernels now feature SMP
396 support. If you have 'options SMP' in your kernel config, you can as well
397 remove it.
399 DEVICE_POLLING OPTION REPLACED BY IFPOLL_ENABLE OPTION, KTR_POLLING REMOVED
400 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
402 The DEVICE_POLLING kernel option has been made a no-op and it has been
403 replaced by IFPOLL_ENABLE. If you have 'options DEVICE_POLLING' in your
404 kernel config, you need to change it to IFPOLL_ENABLE.
406 Also, the KTR_POLLING kernel option has been removed, so it must be
407 removed from kernel configs that have it.
409 BUSLOGIC, CYCLADES AND STALLION ISA SUPPORT REMOVED
410 ---------------------------------------------------
412 The bt(4) driver for Buslogic SCSI adapters has been made PCI only. ISA
413 cards will no longer be detected.
415 The same has been done for Stallion multiport serial controllers. stli(4)
416 has been completely removed (along with the stlload(8) and stlstty(8)
417 utilities) and stl(4) was changed to support only PCI cards. Similarly,
418 ISA support was removed from cy(4) too. All these drivers are i386 only.
420 COMPAT_OLDISA OPTION GONE
421 -------------------------
423 The i386 specific COMPAT_OLDISA kernel option has been removed, since
424 nothing needs it anymore.
426 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
427 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.0 TO LATER VERSIONS +
428 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
430 APIC_IO OPTION REMOVED
431 ----------------------
433 The APIC_IO kernel option is no longer accepted after having been without
434 effect for a while. The hw.ioapic_enable tunable now serves its purpose.
435 If you have 'options APIC_IO' in your kernel config, you'll have to
436 remove it.
438 WATCHDOG_ENABLE & HW_WDOG OPTIONS REMOVED
439 -----------------------------------------
441 The wdog framework is now compiled into our kernels by default, so the
442 options are no longer needed.
444 DOSCMD(1) REMOVED
445 -----------------
447 doscmd(1) has been removed. It was i386 only. The doscmd(1) specific
448 NO_X make.conf option was removed too.
450 GCC 4.7
451 -------
453 GCC 4.7 has been brought in and replaces GCC 4.1 as DragonFly's non-
454 default compiler in base (default is still GCC 4.4).
456 Users who wish to build only GCC 4.4 have to replace NO_GCC41 with
457 NO_GCC47 in /etc/make.conf.
459 USB4BSD
460 -------
462 A new USB stack (from FreeBSD) has been brought in. The following
463 modules have been ported so far: usb, uhci, ohci, ehci, xhci, umass,
464 usfs, uether, if_axe, if_udav, ukbd, ums, uep, uhid, usb_quirk,
465 and uaudio.
467 It is not yet the default. To activate it, WANT_USB4BSD=yes has to
468 be put in make.conf and device "usb4bsd" (quotes needed) has to
469 replace device usb in the kernel config. After that, a full
470 build/install/upgrade cycle is needed.
472 Note that this is experimental and incomplete, but we are interested
473 in hearing about issues with it, of course.
475 ISA SUPPORT REMOVED FROM AIC-6260/6360 DRIVER
476 ---------------------------------------------
478 ISA adapter support was dropped from the aic(4) driver.
480 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
481 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.10 TO LATER VERSIONS +
482 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
484 SEVERAL ISA DRIVERS REMOVED
485 ---------------------------
487 The following ISA only drivers have been removed along with a couple of
488 associated userland tools:
490 aha(4)
491 asc(4) & sasc(1)
492 ctx
493 dgb(4)
494 el(4)
495 gpib
496 gsc(4) & sgsc(1)
497 ie(4)
498 labpc(4)
499 le(4)
500 mse(4)
501 rc(4)
502 rdp(4)
503 spigot
504 tw(4) & xten(1) & xtend(8)
505 wl(4) & wlconfig(8)
506 wt(4)
508 Note that two of these drivers (aha(4) and ie(4)) are in our GENERIC
509 config and one (aha(4)) is in our X86_64_GENERIC kernel configuration
510 file.
512 If buildkernel complains about any of these drivers, just remove them
513 from your kernel configuration.
515 BINUTILS 2.20
516 -------------
517 Binutils 2.20 has been removed in favor of Binutils 2.22. The accepted
518 values of BINUTILSVERS are now binutils221 and binutils222 (default).
520 BUILDWORLD/-KERNEL PARALLELIZATION WORK
521 ---------------------------------------
522 Due to changes in the way we build with more than one make job, you
523 will have to update install(1) and mkdir(1) prior to buildworld if you
524 want to build with 'make -j':
526 cd /usr/src/usr.bin/xinstall; make; make install; make clean
527 cd /usr/src/bin/mkdir; make; make install; make clean
529 DMA(8) UPGRADE
530 --------------
531 dma(8) has been upgraded to v0.7 which no longer supports the
532 /etc/dma/virtusertable. Some of its functionality has been replaced
533 with the MASQUERADE keyword and the EMAIL environment variable (see
534 the dma(8) manual page).
536 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
537 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.8 TO LATER VERSIONS +
538 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
540 GCC 4.4 & BINUTILS 2.21
541 -----------------------
543 GCC 4.4 has been made DragonFly's default compiler and Binutils 2.21 has
544 been made DragonFly's default Binutils.
546 That means that any settings that set CCVER to 'gcc44' are not needed
547 anymore. Instead, CCVER can be set to 'gcc41' to go back to using
548 GCC 4.1.
550 It also means that 'binutils221' as a value for BINUTILSVER has no
551 effect anymore. 2.17 has been removed and 'binutils220' is available
552 as an option.
554 The NO_GCC44 option has been removed and will not affect the build
555 anymore. There is now a NO_GCC41 option that will prevent GCC 4.1 from
556 building in a similar fashion.
558 Note that you must do a full buildworld/buildkernel for upgrading.
560 pkg_radd settings
561 -----------------
563 The config file for pkg_radd has moved from /etc/settings.conf to
564 /etc/pkg_radd.conf. Save the contents of settings.conf before upgrading
565 if this is needed. This warning only applies if /etc/settings.conf
566 exists. pkg_radd will continue to work with defaults.
568 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
569 + 20100927 +
570 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.6 to 2.8 or HEAD +
571 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
573 OpenSSL
574 --------
576 OpenSSL has been upgraded, and SHLIB_MAJOR was bumped for libssh and libcrypto.
577 This shouldn't break any 3rd-party software, but you'll need to recompile your
578 3rd-party software if you want it to link against the new version of OpenSSL.
580 Loader
581 -------
583 A new loader (dloader) has been added which better handles booting from
584 multiple kernel/module versions.
586 To upgrade (Only for this upgrade, for post 2.8 upgrades see GENERAL below)
588 cd /usr/src
589 make buildworld
590 make installworld
591 make upgrade
592 make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
593 make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
595 Note that you must installworld and run the 'upgrade' target before
596 installing the new kernel.
598 BIND
599 -----
601 BIND has been removed from the base system. The ldns and drill tools have
602 been added for basic functionality. Use 'drill' where you would normally
603 use nslookup or dig, or install BIND from pkgsrc. It's available as
604 net/bind95, net/bind96, or net/bind97 as of this writing.
606 This only affects older systems upgrading to 2.8. New 2.8+ installs
607 include BIND as a pkgsrc package.

610 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY ON AN EXISTING DRAGONFLY SYSTEM +
611 + GENERAL +
612 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
614 Instructions on how to obtain and maintain DragonFly source code using git
615 are in the development(7) manual page.
617 To upgrade a DragonFly system from sources you run the following sequence:
619 cd /usr/src
620 make buildworld
621 make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
622 make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
623 make installworld
625 You will also want to run the 'upgrade' target to upgrade your /etc and the
626 rest of your system. The upgrade target is aware of stale files created by
627 older DragonFly installations and should delete them automatically.
629 make upgrade
631 See the build(7) manual page for further information.
633 Once you've done a full build of the world and kernel you can do incremental
634 upgrades of either by using the 'quickworld' and 'quickkernel' targets
635 instead of 'buildworld' and 'buildkernel'. If you have any problems with
636 the quick targets, try updating your repo first, and then a full buildworld
637 and buildkernel as shown above, before asking for help.

640 + UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 2.0 TO DRAGONFLY >= 2.1 +
641 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
643 In 2.1 kernel and modules has moved to boot directory. For most cases
644 this is handled automatically by 'make upgrade'. A few cases needs manual
645 intervention:
647 * When installing a kernel without first doing a make buildworld,
648 installworld and upgrade to the same DESTDIR as kernel:
649 make DESTDIR/boot directory and move kernel and modules into this boot
650 directory; also move kernel.old and modules.old.
651 Typical example is vkernel(7), use (no modules used):
653 cd /var/vkernel
654 mkdir boot
655 chflags noschg kernel
656 mv kernel kernel.old boot
657 chflags schg boot/kernel
659 * When using a boot-only partition, /boot/loader.rc needs to be edited:
660 delete occurrences of '/boot/'.
661 These occurences can normally be deleted in any case, see loader(8).
663 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
664 + UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 1.8 TO DRAGONFLY >= 1.9 +
665 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
667 In 1.9 major changes to the disk management infrastructure have taken
668 place. make upgrade may not catch all of your disk devices in /dev,
669 so after upgrading be sure to cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV <blah> where <blah>
670 are all of your disk devices. HOWEVER, from late 2.3 on we run devfs
671 and MAKEDEV no longer exists.
673 The biggest changes in 1.9 are:
675 (1) That whole-slice devices such as da0s1 no longer share the same device
676 id as partition c devices such as da0s1c.
678 (2) The whole-disk device (e.g. da0) is full raw access to the disk,
679 with no snooping or reserved sectors. Consequently you cannot run
680 disklabel on this device. Instead you must run disklabel on a
681 whole-slice device.
683 (3) The 'compatibility' partitions now use slice 0 in the device name,
684 so instead of da0a you must specify da0s0a. Also, as per (1) above,
685 accessing the disklabel for the compatibility partitions must be
686 done via slice 0 (da0s0).
688 (4) Many device drivers that used to fake up labels, such as CD, ACD, VN,
689 and CCD now run through the disk management layer and are assigned
690 real disk management devices. VN and CCD in particular do not usually
691 use a MBR and disklabels must be accessed through the compatibility
692 slice 0. Your /etc/ccd.conf file still specifies 'ccd0', though, you
693 don't name it 'ccd0s0' in the config file.
695 Generally speaking, you have to get used to running fdisk and disklabel on
696 the correctly specified device names. A lot of the wiggle, such as running
697 disklabel on a partition, has been removed.

703 > Kerberos IV
704 -------------
706 Kerberos IV (eBones) was removed from the tree, please consider moving to
707 Kerberos 5 (Heimdal).
709 > Package Management System
710 ---------------------------
712 Starting with the 1.4 release, DragonFly uses NetBSD's pkgsrc package
713 management system. The necessary tools to build and maintain packages
714 are provided in /usr/pkg/bin and /usr/pkg/sbin. Make sure that these
715 directories are in your PATH variable.
717 In order to obtain a reasonably current snapshot of the pkgsrc tree, use
718 the tarball from NetBSD:
720 fetch -o /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc.tar.gz
721 cd /usr; tar -xzf /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz; chown -R root:wheel pkgsrc
723 This tree can then be kept up to date with cvs update:
725 cd /usr/pkgsrc; cvs up
727 NOTE! If you upgraded from a pre-1.4 system to 1.4 or later, you need to
728 build and install the pkgsrc bootstrap manually:
730 cd /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap
731 ./bootstrap --pkgdbdir /var/db/pkg --prefix /usr/pkg

736 + DRAGONFLY 1.3+ (EITHER PREVIEW or HEAD) +
737 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
739 The compatibility shims for the build environment have been removed, you
740 have to update to DragonFly 1.2 release branch first.
742 The default PAM configuration has moved from /etc/pam.conf to /etc/pam.d/.
743 The existing configuration can be converted using /etc/pam.d/convert.sh.
744 Entries in /etc/pam.d/ override entries in /etc/pam.conf. In addition
745 the pam_skey.so module was retired, you have to remove it manually from
746 your configuration, when you convert it.
748 > Required user and group IDs when upgrading from either FreeBSD or DragonFly
749 ---------------------
751 The following users may be missing from your password file. Use vipw and
752 add any that are missing:
754 smmsp:*:25:25::0:0:Sendmail Submission User:/var/spool/clientmqueue:/sbin/nologin
755 _pflogd:*:64:64::0:0:pflogd privsep user:/var/empty:/sbin/nologin
757 The following groups may be missing from your group file. Use vi /etc/group
758 and add any that are missing:
760 smmsp:*:25:
761 authpf:*:63:
762 _pflogd:*:64:
765 > Upgrading to DragonFly from FreeBSD
766 ---------------------
768 You can build the DragonFly world and DragonFly kernels on a FreeBSD-4.x or
769 FreeBSD-5.x machine and then install DragonFly over FreeBSD, replacing
770 FreeBSD. Note that the DragonFly buildworld target does not try to reuse
771 make depend information, it starts from scratch, so no pre-cleaning of the
772 object hierarchy is necessary.
774 # get the CVS repository (it is placed in /home/dcvs, 500MB).
775 # Please use the -h option and a mirror site to pull the
776 # initial repository, but feel free to use the main repository
777 # machine to pull updates.
778 cvsup /usr/share/examples/cvsup/DragonFly-cvs-supfile
779 # install the source from the CVS hierarchy (remove preexisting
780 # FreeBSD src first) (500MB)
781 cd /usr
782 rm -rf src
783 cvs -R -d /home/dcvs checkout -P src
785 # build it (500MB used in /usr/obj)
786 #
787 cd /usr/src
788 make buildworld
789 make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
791 Once you have built DragonFly you have to install it over FreeBSD. Since
792 DragonFly does not track changes made by FreeBSD to its include file
793 hierarchy and include file pollution can cause all sorts of unexpected
794 compilation issues to come up, it is best to wipe your include hierarchy
795 prior to installing DragonFly. Note that you should not wipe any installed
796 FreeBSD header files or binaries until after you have successfully completed
797 the build steps above.
799 rm -rf /usr/include
800 mkdir /usr/include
801 make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
802 make installworld
804 Then you need to upgrade your system. DragonFly's 'make upgrade' target
805 will unconditionally upgrade the /etc files that sysops do not usually
806 mess around with, such as the files in /etc/rc.d. It will also remove any
807 obsolete files such as utilities and manpages that have been removed from
808 the system since the version you're coming from. If you are unsure we
809 recommend that you make a backup of at least your /etc before applying
810 this step. Note that DragonFly's RC system is basically RCNG from
811 FreeBSD-5, but there are some differences in the contents of the RC files.
813 make upgrade
815 NOTE! Never do a 'make upgrade' before 'make installworld' has been run.
816 Doing so might leave your system in an unusable state.
818 Finally we recommend that you do an 'ls -lta BLAH' for /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin,
819 /usr/bin, and /usr/lib, and remove any stale files that you find. Please
820 report these files to the DragonFly developers so that they can be added to
821 the 'upgrade' target.
