12 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 4.6 TO LATER VERSIONS +
13 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
15 AHC, AHD, AIC, NCV, NSP AND STG DRIVERS REMOVED
16 -----------------------------------------------
18 They were all in our X86_64_GENERIC kernel configuration file, along with
19 the AHC_REG_PRETTY_PRINT and AHD_REG_PRETTY_PRINT options, so any custom
20 configuration files derived from it need adjustment.
22 PORTAL FILE SYSTEM REMOVED
23 --------------------------
25 It has been broken for a long time now.
27 BINUTILS 2.27 REPLACES 2.24, PRIMARY
28 ------------------------------------
30 The oldest of the two versions of Binutils, version 2.24, was removed
31 and replaced with Binutils 2.27. It becomes the primary version version
32 of binutils and version 2.25 becomes the alternate.
34 The accepted values of BINUTILSVER are now "binutils227" (default) and
35 "binutils225". The building of Binutils 2.25 can be prevented by setting
36 NO_ALTBINUTILS=yes in make.conf.
38 COMPAT_43 KERNEL OPTION REMOVED
39 -------------------------------
41 It was commented out in our default configs for several years now, but
42 might still be present in custom configs created before Nov. 2011.
44 OPENSSL REMOVED
45 ---------------
47 OpenSSL has been removed from base and replaced with a private version of
48 LibreSSL. The previously installed OpenSSL libraries, headers, and man
49 pages will remain on the system unless the "make upgrade" command is
50 specifically instructed to remove them. To do this, define
51 REMOVE_OPENSSL_FILES for the upgrade command, e.g.
52 "make upgrade REMOVE_OPENSSL_FILES=yes"
54 28-Oct-2016: openssl has been replaced by ressl. It is recommended that any
55 stale OpenSSL files be removed to avoid configuration scripts from using
56 the stale and potentially vulnerable version, but all binaries that are
57 dynamically linked to the OpenSSL libraries should be rebuilt first to
58 avoid breakage.
60 OPENSSH HPN REMOVED
61 -------------------
63 It has become too cumbersome to maintain HPN patches in OpenSSH in base.
64 To use OpenSSH in base remove HPN config, if you have added it.
65 Check files below for HPN config, see a few lines below.
66 /etc/ssh/ssh_config, /etc/ssh/sshd_config, ~/.ssh/config
67 sshd(8) will fail to start if HPN config is used.
69 NOTE: HPN config in sshd_config will prohibit remote access to host using ssh.
71 HPN config:
72 HPNDisabled
73 HPNBufferSize
74 TcpRcvBuf
75 TcpRcvBufPoll
76 NoneEnabled
77 NoneSwitch
78 cipher MTR-AES-CTR
79 cipher NONE
81 OpenSSH HPN is a patch set to OpenSSH providing higher performance under some
82 circumstances, especially for networking.
83 If HPN functionality is needed, install security/openssh from dports.
85 CS, EX AND VX DRIVERS REMOVED
86 -----------------------------
88 The cs(4), ex(4) and vx(4) drivers have been removed. They were very
89 old and its doubtful they ever worked properly in x86_64 but they were
90 in X86_64_GENERIC, so custom configurations derived from it have to be
91 adjusted.
93 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
94 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 4.4 TO LATER VERSIONS +
95 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
97 AMD REMOVED
98 -----------
100 The am-utils automounter suite has been removed. It stopped working
101 at some point and was never fixed. autofs(5) and the associated
102 userland has been brought in from FreeBSD and replaces it.
104 AN DRIVER REMOVED
105 -----------------
107 The an(4) driver has been removed. It was in the X86_64_GENERIC kernel
108 config file, so any configurations derived from it have to be adjusted.
110 /DEV/DRI GROUP CHANGED
111 ----------------------
113 The default group assigned to /dev/dri entries has been changed
114 from 'wheel' to 'video' with the id of '44'. If you want to have
115 access to the dri devices please add yourself to the video group
116 with:
118 # pw groupmod video -m $USER
120 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
121 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 4.2 TO LATER VERSIONS +
122 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
124 DSCHED REMOVED
125 --------------
127 dsched(4) has been removed and one of its kernel options, DSCHED_FQ, was
128 in our default kernel config file. So the DSCHED_FQ option has been turned
129 into a no-op for now and can be removed from custom configurations.
131 EST DRIVER REMOVED, COMPILE_ET AND LIBCOM_ERR TOO
132 -------------------------------------------------
134 The est(4) driver has been removed. All CPUs it supported (except one)
135 were 32 bits only. Those who are still using the Core 2 Duo T7500 should
136 report back if there are any issues with this CPU and our regular ACPI
137 P-state support.
139 Also, compile_et(1) and com_err(3) have been removed as well. They
140 should have been removed along with kerberos support, back in 2009.
142 SEVERAL LOCALES RENAMED
143 -----------------------
145 Several locales were using obsolete and misleading names, and thus have
146 been adjusted to current standards. Any users of the following locales
147 need to select alternates:
149 DFLY 4.2 locale DFLY 4.4 alterative locale
150 --------------- ------------------------------------
151 mn_MN.UTF-8 mn_Cyrl_MN.UTF-8
152 no_NO.UTF-8 nb_NO.UTF-8 or nn_NO.UTF-8
153 no_NO.ISO8859-1 nb_NO.ISO8869-1 or nn_NO.ISO8859-1
154 no_NO.ISO8859-15 nb_NO.ISO8859-15 or nn_NO.ISO8859-15
155 sr_YU.UTF-8 sr_Cyrl_RS.UTF-8 or sr_Latn_RS.UTF-8
156 sr_YU.ISO8859-5 sr_Cyrl_RS.ISO8859-5
157 sr_YU.ISO8859-2 sr_Latn_RS.ISO8859-2

168 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
169 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 4.0 TO LATER VERSIONS +
170 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
172 BINUTILS 2.25 REPLACES 2.22, PRIMARY
173 ------------------------------------
175 The oldest of the two versions of Binutils, version 2.22, was removed
176 and replaced with Binutils 2.25. It becomes the primary version version
177 of binutils and version 2.24 becomes the alternate. There are 8 current
178 CVE written against 2.24, so for security reasons version 2.25 should
179 always be used.
181 The accepted values of BINUTILSVER are now "binutils225" (default) and
182 "binutils224". The building of Binutils 2.24 can be prevented by setting
183 NO_ALTBINUTILS=yes in make.conf.
185 LOADER OPTIONS CHANGED
186 ----------------------
188 Right after the development branch started, the Fred art accompanying the
189 loader menu was improved. The line between Fred and the menu was removed
190 by default (but can optionally be returned) and the placement shifted as
191 a result. The drawing was improved, and the colored version was improved,
192 changing the eyes and wing color from white to red. A new color version
193 of Fred was added, one with a blue scheme.
195 The loader menu defaults have changed since release 4.0: The vertical
196 line was removed, the loader is displayed in color by default*, and the
197 blue scheme is used.
199 The loader.conf changes are:
200 loader_color: option has been removed
201 loader_plain: option has been added, it changed menu to monochrome
202 fred_is_red: changes color scheme from blue to red
203 fred_is_blue: option existed only on 4.1, it has been removed
204 fred_separated: Adds line between Fred and menu (as seen previously)
206 * If loader.conf defines "console" as "comconsole" or "console" is defined
207 in the environment as "comconsole" then color will not be displayed,
208 even if loader_plain value is "NO".
210 SENDMAIL REMOVED FROM BASE
211 --------------------------
213 The only Mail Transfer Agent provided now is DragonFly Mail Agent (dma).
214 If the system being upgraded is still configured to use the sendmail
215 binaries from base, the "make upgrade" command will fail.
217 The administrator must change /etc/mail/mailer.conf to switch the
218 mailwrapper to dma or a DPorts-based MTA prior to running the upgrade
219 command that permanently removes sendmail executables and could
220 potentially break a running mail server.
222 Refer: http://www.dragonflybsd.com/docs/docs/newhandbook/mta/ for
223 detailed instructions on how to configure the MTA selection.
225 _KPOSIX_VERSION and P1003_1B OPTIONS REMOVED
226 --------------------------------------------
228 The _KPOSIX_VERSION and P1003_1B kernel options have been changed to
229 no-ops. They can be removed from custom kernel configurations.
231 SOUND SYSTEM UPDATED FROM FreeBSD 11-CURRENT
232 --------------------------------------------
234 Many more sound devices may be detected.
236 If the default device choosen isn't to your liking, setting the sysctl
237 hw.snd.default_unit to a different number will change it.
239 SCTP SUPPORT DROPPED
240 --------------------
242 Support for the SCTP protocol has been removed.
244 OLD USB DRIVERS REMOVED
245 -----------------------
247 The old USB stack, along with the kernel config option "device oldusb"
248 and the make.conf variable "WANT_OLDUSB" have been removed. This means
249 that for custom kernel configuration files which were derived from a
250 GENERIC or X86_64_GENERIC file prior to making the usb4bsd stack default,
251 various (old USB stack specific) devices will now complain about being
252 unknown:
254 * oldusb (obviously)
255 * natausb (not yet ported to usb4bsd)
256 * rue (not yet ported to usb4bsd)
257 * ugen (no longer needed in usb4bsd)
258 * urio (not yet ported to usb4bsd)
259 * uscanner (no longer needed in usb4bsd)
261 They should be removed or commented out in such custom kernel configs.
263 GCC 5
264 -----
266 The GCC 4.4 compiler has been retired. It has been replaced by a GCC 5.1.
267 The following make.conf variables no longer work: NO_GCC44, NO_OBJC, and
268 NO_CXX. The latter was never documented and the latest versions of GCC are
269 partially written in C++ so a C++ compiler is no longer optional. In
270 practical terms it has not been optional for many years as other base
271 components are also written in C++. The resource savings by avoiding
272 building Objective-C compiler is so small, the complexity added by NO_OBJC
273 internally was deemed a bad tradeoff so that is the reason for its removal.
274 Also note that no "info" pages are installed with GCC 5. After this entry
275 was originally written, all info pages were removed from DragonFly.
277 GCC 5.1 has been designated as the primary compiler. As such, there is a
278 new make.conf variable, NO_ALTCOMPILER. It will block the rebuilding of
279 the designated secondary compiler, GCC 4.7. However, while DPorts
280 primarily uses GCC 5 to build ports now, it still uses GCC 4.7 as well, so
281 if building ports from source is desired, don't block building of the
282 secondary compiler.
284 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
285 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.8 TO LATER VERSIONS +
286 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
288 SMP AND DEVICE_POLLING OPTIONS MADE UNKNOWN
289 -------------------------------------------
291 DEVICE_POLLING was replaced by IFPOLL_ENABLE and the former SMP code is
292 the default now (even on single-core systems), both for, like, 21 months.
293 We kept the options around as no-ops as a convenience, to allow people
294 using the same config for the then current release and the then current
295 master. That period is now over, so any configs still having those
296 options have to be adjusted.
298 SYSVIPC SYSCALLS MADE NON-OPTIONAL
299 ----------------------------------
301 The code related to the SYSVMSG, SYSVSEM and SYSVSHM kernel options is
302 now compiled in by default. The options are no-ops for now.
304 DEFAULT DRIVER CHANGED FOR LSI "THUNDERBOLT" SERIES RAID CONTROLLERS
305 --------------------------------------------------------------------
307 The default driver for those controllers is now mrsas(4) due to reports
308 of file system corruption using the mfi(4) driver. The whole issue (and
309 how to deal with potential problems when switching) was explained here:
311 http://lists.dragonflybsd.org/pipermail/users/2014-July/128703.html
313 A tunable is provided for letting those controllers still attach via
314 the mfi(4) driver, hw.mrsas.mfi_enable (see mrsas(4) manual page).
316 OLDER NETWORK DRIVERS MOVED TO I386 ONLY
317 ----------------------------------------
319 The following drivers have been made i386 only: ed(4), sr(4), ng_sync_ar
320 and ng_sync_sr. ed(4) used to be in X86_64_GENERIC, so it has to be
321 removed in kernel configs derived from X86_64_GENERIC.
323 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
324 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.6 TO LATER VERSIONS +
325 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
327 UPDATE FROM MOST RECENT 3.6
328 ---------------------------
330 Versions of 3.6 built before June 25th have a bug where installworld might
331 crash during installation of the new initrd. Upgrade to the latest version
332 of 3.6 before updating to 3.8 or later.
334 ATM, IPX, NCP AND NWFS SUPPORT DROPPED
335 --------------------------------------
337 Support for the IPX and NCP network protocols and for mouting NetWare
338 file systems has been dropped. Dito for ATM protocol support.
340 INITRD IMAGES NOW INSTALLED BY DEFAULT
341 --------------------------------------
343 An initial ramdisk image is now installed in /boot/kernel/initrd.img.gz
345 Older images installed under the file name of initrd.img will be removed
346 automatically by the make upgrade process.
348 USB4BSD IS NOW THE DEFAULT USB STACK
349 ------------------------------------
351 To get back to the old stack, put "WANT_OLDUSB=yes" in /etc/make.conf and
352 replace "device usb" with "device oldusb" in the kernel configuration.
354 MORE ISA SUPPORT DROPPED
355 ------------------------
357 ISA support has been dropped from the following drivers: adv(4), an(4),
358 ar(4), cs(4), digi(4), ed(4), ep(4), ex(4), fe(4), lnc(4), sbni(4),
359 si(4), sn(4), and stg(4).
361 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
362 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.4 TO LATER VERSIONS +
363 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
365 ABI CHANGE
366 ----------
368 Installed third-party software (dports) will have to be rebuilt after upgrade,
369 or reinstalled from binary packages.
371 UPDATING FROM 3.4 TO 3.6
372 ------------------------
374 This only applies for this specific upgrade due to locale changes; it is
375 not needed for upgrades after 3.6. Please update in this order:
377 make buildworld
378 make buildkernel
379 make installworld
380 make installkernel
381 *reboot*
382 make upgrade
384 See this mailing list post for details:
385 http://lists.dragonflybsd.org/pipermail/users/2013-September/090163.html
387 CYRIX OPTIONS REMOVED
388 ---------------------
390 The following Cyrix related options have been removed: CPU_BTB_EN,
391 CPU_CYRIX_NO_LOCK, CPU_DIRECT_MAPPED_CACHE, CPU_DISABLE_5X86_LSSER,
392 CPU_FASTER_5X86_FPU, CPU_IORT, CPU_LOOP_EN, CPU_RSTK_EN, CPU_SUSP_HLT,
393 CYRIX_CACHE_WORKS, and CYRIX_CACHE_REALLY_WORKS
395 ISA SUPPORT REMOVED FROM RP(4)
396 ------------------------------
398 ISA support has been removed from the rp(4) driver. It is now PCI only.
400 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
401 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.2 TO LATER VERSIONS +
402 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
404 COMPAT_SUNOS OPTION REMOVED
405 ---------------------------
407 The COMPAT_SUNOS option has been removed. It was meant to provide binary
408 compatibility with SunOS 4.x for the sparc32 port of 4.4BSD.
410 ISA SOUND CARD SUPPORT REMOVED
411 ------------------------------
413 The following modules have been removed (all for ISA sound cards):
414 snd_ad1816.ko, snd_ess.ko, snd_mss.ko, snd_sb8.ko, snd_sb16.ko, snd_sbc.ko
416 GCC 4.7
417 -------
419 DragonFly has switched base compilers. GCC 4.7 is now the default
420 compiler and GCC 4.4 is the alternative compiler. The "NO_GCC47" make
421 variable ceases to work now.
423 Users who wish to build only GCC 4.7 have to use NO_GCC44 in the
424 /etc/make.conf to prohibit GCC 4.4 from building. However, using it is
425 highly discouraged. There are a few packages in pkgsrc that do not build
426 with GCC 4.7 and the new "DPorts" system uses GCC 4.4 by default. At
427 this time, it is recommended to keep both compilers on the base system.
429 SMP OPTION REMOVED
430 ------------------
432 The SMP kernel option has been made a no-op. All kernels now feature SMP
433 support. If you have 'options SMP' in your kernel config, you can as well
434 remove it.
436 DEVICE_POLLING OPTION REPLACED BY IFPOLL_ENABLE OPTION, KTR_POLLING REMOVED
437 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
439 The DEVICE_POLLING kernel option has been made a no-op and it has been
440 replaced by IFPOLL_ENABLE. If you have 'options DEVICE_POLLING' in your
441 kernel config, you need to change it to IFPOLL_ENABLE.
443 Also, the KTR_POLLING kernel option has been removed, so it must be
444 removed from kernel configs that have it.
446 BUSLOGIC, CYCLADES AND STALLION ISA SUPPORT REMOVED
447 ---------------------------------------------------
449 The bt(4) driver for Buslogic SCSI adapters has been made PCI only. ISA
450 cards will no longer be detected.
452 The same has been done for Stallion multiport serial controllers. stli(4)
453 has been completely removed (along with the stlload(8) and stlstty(8)
454 utilities) and stl(4) was changed to support only PCI cards. Similarly,
455 ISA support was removed from cy(4) too. All these drivers are i386 only.
457 COMPAT_OLDISA OPTION GONE
458 -------------------------
460 The i386 specific COMPAT_OLDISA kernel option has been removed, since
461 nothing needs it anymore.
463 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
464 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.0 TO LATER VERSIONS +
465 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
467 APIC_IO OPTION REMOVED
468 ----------------------
470 The APIC_IO kernel option is no longer accepted after having been without
471 effect for a while. The hw.ioapic_enable tunable now serves its purpose.
472 If you have 'options APIC_IO' in your kernel config, you'll have to
473 remove it.
475 WATCHDOG_ENABLE & HW_WDOG OPTIONS REMOVED
476 -----------------------------------------
478 The wdog framework is now compiled into our kernels by default, so the
479 options are no longer needed.
481 DOSCMD(1) REMOVED
482 -----------------
484 doscmd(1) has been removed. It was i386 only. The doscmd(1) specific
485 NO_X make.conf option was removed too.
487 GCC 4.7
488 -------
490 GCC 4.7 has been brought in and replaces GCC 4.1 as DragonFly's non-
491 default compiler in base (default is still GCC 4.4).
493 Users who wish to build only GCC 4.4 have to replace NO_GCC41 with
494 NO_GCC47 in /etc/make.conf.
496 USB4BSD
497 -------
499 A new USB stack (from FreeBSD) has been brought in. The following
500 modules have been ported so far: usb, uhci, ohci, ehci, xhci, umass,
501 usfs, uether, if_axe, if_udav, ukbd, ums, uep, uhid, usb_quirk,
502 and uaudio.
504 It is not yet the default. To activate it, WANT_USB4BSD=yes has to
505 be put in make.conf and device "usb4bsd" (quotes needed) has to
506 replace device usb in the kernel config. After that, a full
507 build/install/upgrade cycle is needed.
509 Note that this is experimental and incomplete, but we are interested
510 in hearing about issues with it, of course.
512 ISA SUPPORT REMOVED FROM AIC-6260/6360 DRIVER
513 ---------------------------------------------
515 ISA adapter support was dropped from the aic(4) driver.
517 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
518 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.10 TO LATER VERSIONS +
519 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
521 SEVERAL ISA DRIVERS REMOVED
522 ---------------------------
524 The following ISA only drivers have been removed along with a couple of
525 associated userland tools:
527 aha(4)
528 asc(4) & sasc(1)
529 ctx
530 dgb(4)
531 el(4)
532 gpib
533 gsc(4) & sgsc(1)
534 ie(4)
535 labpc(4)
536 le(4)
537 mse(4)
538 rc(4)
539 rdp(4)
540 spigot
541 tw(4) & xten(1) & xtend(8)
542 wl(4) & wlconfig(8)
543 wt(4)
545 Note that two of these drivers (aha(4) and ie(4)) are in our GENERIC
546 config and one (aha(4)) is in our X86_64_GENERIC kernel configuration
547 file.
549 If buildkernel complains about any of these drivers, just remove them
550 from your kernel configuration.
552 BINUTILS 2.20
553 -------------
554 Binutils 2.20 has been removed in favor of Binutils 2.22. The accepted
555 values of BINUTILSVERS are now binutils221 and binutils222 (default).
557 BUILDWORLD/-KERNEL PARALLELIZATION WORK
558 ---------------------------------------
559 Due to changes in the way we build with more than one make job, you
560 will have to update install(1) and mkdir(1) prior to buildworld if you
561 want to build with 'make -j':
563 cd /usr/src/usr.bin/xinstall; make; make install; make clean
564 cd /usr/src/bin/mkdir; make; make install; make clean
566 DMA(8) UPGRADE
567 --------------
568 dma(8) has been upgraded to v0.7 which no longer supports the
569 /etc/dma/virtusertable. Some of its functionality has been replaced
570 with the MASQUERADE keyword and the EMAIL environment variable (see
571 the dma(8) manual page).
573 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
574 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.8 TO LATER VERSIONS +
575 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
577 GCC 4.4 & BINUTILS 2.21
578 -----------------------
580 GCC 4.4 has been made DragonFly's default compiler and Binutils 2.21 has
581 been made DragonFly's default Binutils.
583 That means that any settings that set CCVER to 'gcc44' are not needed
584 anymore. Instead, CCVER can be set to 'gcc41' to go back to using
585 GCC 4.1.
587 It also means that 'binutils221' as a value for BINUTILSVER has no
588 effect anymore. 2.17 has been removed and 'binutils220' is available
589 as an option.
591 The NO_GCC44 option has been removed and will not affect the build
592 anymore. There is now a NO_GCC41 option that will prevent GCC 4.1 from
593 building in a similar fashion.
595 Note that you must do a full buildworld/buildkernel for upgrading.
597 pkg_radd settings
598 -----------------
600 The config file for pkg_radd has moved from /etc/settings.conf to
601 /etc/pkg_radd.conf. Save the contents of settings.conf before upgrading
602 if this is needed. This warning only applies if /etc/settings.conf

607 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.6 to 2.8 or HEAD +
608 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
610 OpenSSL
611 --------
613 OpenSSL has been upgraded, and SHLIB_MAJOR was bumped for libssh and libcrypto.
614 This shouldn't break any 3rd-party software, but you'll need to recompile your
615 3rd-party software if you want it to link against the new version of OpenSSL.
617 Loader
618 -------
620 A new loader (dloader) has been added which better handles booting from
621 multiple kernel/module versions.
623 To upgrade (Only for this upgrade, for post 2.8 upgrades see GENERAL below)
625 cd /usr/src
626 make buildworld
627 make installworld
628 make upgrade
629 make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
630 make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
632 Note that you must installworld and run the 'upgrade' target before
633 installing the new kernel.
635 BIND
636 -----
638 BIND has been removed from the base system. The ldns and drill tools have
639 been added for basic functionality. Use 'drill' where you would normally
640 use nslookup or dig, or install BIND from pkgsrc. It's available as
641 net/bind95, net/bind96, or net/bind97 as of this writing.
643 This only affects older systems upgrading to 2.8. New 2.8+ installs
644 include BIND as a pkgsrc package.
646 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
647 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY ON AN EXISTING DRAGONFLY SYSTEM +
648 + GENERAL +
649 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
651 Instructions on how to obtain and maintain DragonFly source code using git
652 are in the development(7) manual page.
654 To upgrade a DragonFly system from sources you run the following sequence:
656 cd /usr/src
657 make buildworld
658 make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
659 make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
660 make installworld
662 You will also want to run the 'upgrade' target to upgrade your /etc and the
663 rest of your system. The upgrade target is aware of stale files created by
664 older DragonFly installations and should delete them automatically.
666 make upgrade
668 See the build(7) manual page for further information.
670 Once you've done a full build of the world and kernel you can do incremental
671 upgrades of either by using the 'quickworld' and 'quickkernel' targets
672 instead of 'buildworld' and 'buildkernel'. If you have any problems with
673 the quick targets, try updating your repo first, and then a full buildworld
674 and buildkernel as shown above, before asking for help.
676 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
677 + UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 2.0 TO DRAGONFLY >= 2.1 +
678 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
680 In 2.1 kernel and modules has moved to boot directory. For most cases
681 this is handled automatically by 'make upgrade'. A few cases needs manual
682 intervention:
684 * When installing a kernel without first doing a make buildworld,
685 installworld and upgrade to the same DESTDIR as kernel:
686 make DESTDIR/boot directory and move kernel and modules into this boot
687 directory; also move kernel.old and modules.old.
688 Typical example is vkernel(7), use (no modules used):
690 cd /var/vkernel
691 mkdir boot
692 chflags noschg kernel
693 mv kernel kernel.old boot
694 chflags schg boot/kernel
696 * When using a boot-only partition, /boot/loader.rc needs to be edited:
697 delete occurrences of '/boot/'.
698 These occurences can normally be deleted in any case, see loader(8).
700 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
701 + UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 1.8 TO DRAGONFLY >= 1.9 +
702 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
704 In 1.9 major changes to the disk management infrastructure have taken
705 place. make upgrade may not catch all of your disk devices in /dev,
706 so after upgrading be sure to cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV <blah> where <blah>
707 are all of your disk devices. HOWEVER, from late 2.3 on we run devfs
708 and MAKEDEV no longer exists.
710 The biggest changes in 1.9 are:
712 (1) That whole-slice devices such as da0s1 no longer share the same device
713 id as partition c devices such as da0s1c.
715 (2) The whole-disk device (e.g. da0) is full raw access to the disk,
716 with no snooping or reserved sectors. Consequently you cannot run
717 disklabel on this device. Instead you must run disklabel on a
718 whole-slice device.
720 (3) The 'compatibility' partitions now use slice 0 in the device name,
721 so instead of da0a you must specify da0s0a. Also, as per (1) above,
722 accessing the disklabel for the compatibility partitions must be
723 done via slice 0 (da0s0).
725 (4) Many device drivers that used to fake up labels, such as CD, ACD, VN,
726 and CCD now run through the disk management layer and are assigned
727 real disk management devices. VN and CCD in particular do not usually
728 use a MBR and disklabels must be accessed through the compatibility
729 slice 0. Your /etc/ccd.conf file still specifies 'ccd0', though, you
730 don't name it 'ccd0s0' in the config file.
732 Generally speaking, you have to get used to running fdisk and disklabel on
733 the correctly specified device names. A lot of the wiggle, such as running
734 disklabel on a partition, has been removed.

740 > Kerberos IV
741 -------------
743 Kerberos IV (eBones) was removed from the tree, please consider moving to
744 Kerberos 5 (Heimdal).
746 > Package Management System
747 ---------------------------
749 Starting with the 1.4 release, DragonFly uses NetBSD's pkgsrc package
750 management system. The necessary tools to build and maintain packages
751 are provided in /usr/pkg/bin and /usr/pkg/sbin. Make sure that these
752 directories are in your PATH variable.
754 In order to obtain a reasonably current snapshot of the pkgsrc tree, use
755 the tarball from NetBSD:
757 fetch -o /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc.tar.gz
758 cd /usr; tar -xzf /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz; chown -R root:wheel pkgsrc
760 This tree can then be kept up to date with cvs update:
762 cd /usr/pkgsrc; cvs up
764 NOTE! If you upgraded from a pre-1.4 system to 1.4 or later, you need to
765 build and install the pkgsrc bootstrap manually:
767 cd /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap
768 ./bootstrap --pkgdbdir /var/db/pkg --prefix /usr/pkg

773 + DRAGONFLY 1.3+ (EITHER PREVIEW or HEAD) +
774 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
776 The compatibility shims for the build environment have been removed, you
777 have to update to DragonFly 1.2 release branch first.
779 The default PAM configuration has moved from /etc/pam.conf to /etc/pam.d/.
780 The existing configuration can be converted using /etc/pam.d/convert.sh.
781 Entries in /etc/pam.d/ override entries in /etc/pam.conf. In addition
782 the pam_skey.so module was retired, you have to remove it manually from
783 your configuration, when you convert it.
785 > Required user and group IDs when upgrading from either FreeBSD or DragonFly
786 ---------------------
788 The following users may be missing from your password file. Use vipw and
789 add any that are missing:
791 smmsp:*:25:25::0:0:Sendmail Submission User:/var/spool/clientmqueue:/sbin/nologin
792 _pflogd:*:64:64::0:0:pflogd privsep user:/var/empty:/sbin/nologin
794 The following groups may be missing from your group file. Use vi /etc/group
795 and add any that are missing:
797 smmsp:*:25:
798 authpf:*:63:
799 _pflogd:*:64:
802 > Upgrading to DragonFly from FreeBSD
803 ---------------------
805 You can build the DragonFly world and DragonFly kernels on a FreeBSD-4.x or
806 FreeBSD-5.x machine and then install DragonFly over FreeBSD, replacing
807 FreeBSD. Note that the DragonFly buildworld target does not try to reuse
808 make depend information, it starts from scratch, so no pre-cleaning of the
809 object hierarchy is necessary.
811 # get the CVS repository (it is placed in /home/dcvs, 500MB).
812 # Please use the -h option and a mirror site to pull the
813 # initial repository, but feel free to use the main repository
814 # machine to pull updates.
815 cvsup /usr/share/examples/cvsup/DragonFly-cvs-supfile
816 # install the source from the CVS hierarchy (remove preexisting
817 # FreeBSD src first) (500MB)
818 cd /usr
819 rm -rf src
820 cvs -R -d /home/dcvs checkout -P src
822 # build it (500MB used in /usr/obj)
823 #
824 cd /usr/src
825 make buildworld
826 make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
828 Once you have built DragonFly you have to install it over FreeBSD. Since
829 DragonFly does not track changes made by FreeBSD to its include file
830 hierarchy and include file pollution can cause all sorts of unexpected
831 compilation issues to come up, it is best to wipe your include hierarchy
832 prior to installing DragonFly. Note that you should not wipe any installed
833 FreeBSD header files or binaries until after you have successfully completed
834 the build steps above.
836 rm -rf /usr/include
837 mkdir /usr/include
838 make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
839 make installworld
841 Then you need to upgrade your system. DragonFly's 'make upgrade' target
842 will unconditionally upgrade the /etc files that sysops do not usually
843 mess around with, such as the files in /etc/rc.d. It will also remove any
844 obsolete files such as utilities and manpages that have been removed from
845 the system since the version you're coming from. If you are unsure we
846 recommend that you make a backup of at least your /etc before applying
847 this step. Note that DragonFly's RC system is basically RCNG from
848 FreeBSD-5, but there are some differences in the contents of the RC files.
850 make upgrade
852 NOTE! Never do a 'make upgrade' before 'make installworld' has been run.
853 Doing so might leave your system in an unusable state.
855 Finally we recommend that you do an 'ls -lta BLAH' for /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin,
856 /usr/bin, and /usr/lib, and remove any stale files that you find. Please
857 report these files to the DragonFly developers so that they can be added to
858 the 'upgrade' target.
