12 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.2 to later versions +
13 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
18 The SMP kernel option has been made a no-op. All kernels now feature SMP
19 support. If you have 'options SMP' in your kernel config, you can as well
22 DEVICE_POLLING OPTION REPLACED BY IFPOLL_ENABLE OPTION, KTR_POLLING REMOVED
23 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
25 The DEVICE_POLLING kernel option has been made a no-op and it has been
26 replaced by IFPOLL_ENABLE. If you have 'options DEVICE_POLLING' in your
27 kernel config, you need to change it to IFPOLL_ENABLE.
29 Also, the KTR_POLLING kernel option has been removed, so it must be
30 removed from kernel configs that have it.
32 BUSLOGIC, CYCLADES AND STALLION ISA SUPPORT REMOVED
33 ---------------------------------------------------
35 The bt(4) driver for Buslogic SCSI adapters has been made PCI only. ISA
36 cards will no longer be detected.
38 The same has been done for Stallion multiport serial controllers. stli(4)
39 has been completely removed (along with the stlload(8) and stlstty(8)
40 utilities) and stl(4) was changed to support only PCI cards. Similarly,
41 ISA support was removed from cy(4) too. All these drivers are i386 only.
43 COMPAT_OLDISA OPTION GONE
44 -------------------------
46 The i386 specific COMPAT_OLDISA kernel option has been removed, since
47 nothing needs it anymore.
49 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
50 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.0 to later versions +
51 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
53 APIC_IO OPTION REMOVED
54 ----------------------
56 The APIC_IO kernel option is no longer accepted after having been without
57 effect for a while. The hw.ioapic_enable tunable now serves its purpose.
58 If you have 'options APIC_IO' in your kernel config, you'll have to
61 WATCHDOG_ENABLE & HW_WDOG OPTIONS REMOVED
62 -----------------------------------------
64 The wdog framework is now compiled into our kernels by default, so the
65 options are no longer needed.
70 doscmd(1) has been removed. It was i386 only. The doscmd(1) specific
71 NO_X make.conf option was removed too.
76 GCC 4.7 has been brought in and replaces GCC 4.1 as DragonFly's non-
77 default compiler in base (default is still GCC 4.4).
79 Users who wish to build only GCC 4.4 have to replace NO_GCC41 with
80 NO_GCC47 in /etc/make.conf.
85 A new USB stack (from FreeBSD) has been brought in. The following
86 modules have been ported so far: usb, uhci, ohci, ehci, xhci, umass,
87 usfs, uether, if_axe, if_udav, ukbd, ums, uep, uhid, usb_quirk,
90 It is not yet the default. To activate it, WANT_USB4BSD=yes has to
91 be put in make.conf and device "usb4bsd" (quotes needed) has to
92 replace device usb in the kernel config. After that, a full
93 build/install/upgrade cycle is needed.
95 Note that this is experimental and incomplete, but we are interested
96 in hearing about issues with it, of course.
98 ISA SUPPORT REMOVED FROM AIC-6260/6360 DRIVER
99 ---------------------------------------------
101 ISA adapter support was dropped from the aic(4) driver.
103 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
104 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.10 to later versions +
105 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
107 SEVERAL ISA DRIVERS REMOVED
108 ---------------------------
110 The following ISA only drivers have been removed along with a couple of
111 associated userland tools:
127 tw(4) & xten(1) & xtend(8)
131 Note that two of these drivers (aha(4) and ie(4)) are in our GENERIC
132 config and one (aha(4)) is in our X86_64_GENERIC kernel configuration
135 If buildkernel complains about any of these drivers, just remove them
136 from your kernel configuration.
140 Binutils 2.20 has been removed in favor of Binutils 2.22. The accepted
141 values of BINUTILSVERS are now binutils221 and binutils222 (default).
143 BUILDWORLD/-KERNEL PARALLELIZATION WORK
144 ---------------------------------------
145 Due to changes in the way we build with more than one make job, you
146 will have to update install(1) and mkdir(1) prior to buildworld if you
147 want to build with 'make -j':
149 cd /usr/src/usr.bin/xinstall; make; make install; make clean
150 cd /usr/src/bin/mkdir; make; make install; make clean
154 dma(8) has been upgraded to v0.7 which no longer supports the
155 /etc/dma/virtusertable. Some of its functionality has been replaced
156 with the MASQUERADE keyword and the EMAIL environment variable (see
157 the dma(8) manual page).
159 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
160 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.8 to later versions +
161 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
163 GCC 4.4 & BINUTILS 2.21
164 -----------------------
166 GCC 4.4 has been made DragonFly's default compiler and Binutils 2.21 has
167 been made DragonFly's default Binutils.
169 That means that any settings that set CCVER to 'gcc44' are not needed
170 anymore. Instead, CCVER can be set to 'gcc41' to go back to using
173 It also means that 'binutils221' as a value for BINUTILSVER has no
174 effect anymore. 2.17 has been removed and 'binutils220' is available
177 The NO_GCC44 option has been removed and will not affect the build
178 anymore. There is now a NO_GCC41 option that will prevent GCC 4.1 from
179 building in a similar fashion.
181 Note that you must do a full buildworld/buildkernel for upgrading.
186 The config file for pkg_radd has moved from /etc/settings.conf to
187 /etc/pkg_radd.conf. Save the contents of settings.conf before upgrading
188 if this is needed. This warning only applies if /etc/settings.conf
189 exists. pkg_radd will continue to work with defaults.
191 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
193 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.6 to 2.8 or HEAD +
194 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
199 OpenSSL has been upgraded, and SHLIB_MAJOR was bumped for libssh and libcrypto.
200 This shouldn't break any 3rd-party software, but you'll need to recompile your
201 3rd-party software if you want it to link against the new version of OpenSSL.
206 A new loader (dloader) has been added which better handles booting from
207 multiple kernel/module versions.
209 To upgrade (Only for this upgrade, for post 2.8 upgrades see GENERAL below)
215 make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
216 make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
218 Note that you must installworld and run the 'upgrade' target before
219 installing the new kernel.
224 BIND has been removed from the base system. The ldns and drill tools have
225 been added for basic functionality. Use 'drill' where you would normally
226 use nslookup or dig, or install BIND from pkgsrc. It's available as
227 net/bind95, net/bind96, or net/bind97 as of this writing.
229 This only affects older systems upgrading to 2.8. New 2.8+ installs
230 include BIND as a pkgsrc package.
232 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
233 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY ON AN EXISTING DRAGONFLY SYSTEM +
235 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
237 Instructions on how to obtain and maintain DragonFly source code using git
238 are in the development(7) manual page.
240 To upgrade a DragonFly system from sources you run the following sequence:
244 make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
245 make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
248 You will also want to run the 'upgrade' target to upgrade your /etc and the
249 rest of your system. The upgrade target is aware of stale files created by
250 older DragonFly installations and should delete them automatically.
254 See the build(7) manual page for further information.
256 Once you've done a full build of the world and kernel you can do incremental
257 upgrades of either by using the 'quickworld' and 'quickkernel' targets
258 instead of 'buildworld' and 'buildkernel'. If you have any problems with
259 the quick targets, try updating your repo first, and then a full buildworld
260 and buildkernel as shown above, before asking for help.
262 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
263 + UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 2.0 TO DRAGONFLY >= 2.1 +
264 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
266 In 2.1 kernel and modules has moved to boot directory. For most cases
267 this is handled automatically by 'make upgrade'. A few cases needs manual
270 * When installing a kernel without first doing a make buildworld,
271 installworld and upgrade to the same DESTDIR as kernel:
272 make DESTDIR/boot directory and move kernel and modules into this boot
273 directory; also move kernel.old and modules.old.
274 Typical example is vkernel(7), use (no modules used):
278 chflags noschg kernel
279 mv kernel kernel.old boot
280 chflags schg boot/kernel
282 * When using a boot-only partition, /boot/loader.rc needs to be edited:
283 delete occurrences of '/boot/'.
284 These occurences can normally be deleted in any case, see loader(8).
286 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
287 + UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 1.8 TO DRAGONFLY >= 1.9 +
288 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
290 In 1.9 major changes to the disk management infrastructure have taken
291 place. make upgrade may not catch all of your disk devices in /dev,
292 so after upgrading be sure to cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV <blah> where <blah>
293 are all of your disk devices. HOWEVER, from late 2.3 on we run devfs
294 and MAKEDEV no longer exists.
296 The biggest changes in 1.9 are:
298 (1) That whole-slice devices such as da0s1 no longer share the same device
299 id as partition c devices such as da0s1c.
301 (2) The whole-disk device (e.g. da0) is full raw access to the disk,
302 with no snooping or reserved sectors. Consequently you cannot run
303 disklabel on this device. Instead you must run disklabel on a
306 (3) The 'compatibility' partitions now use slice 0 in the device name,
307 so instead of da0a you must specify da0s0a. Also, as per (1) above,
308 accessing the disklabel for the compatibility partitions must be
309 done via slice 0 (da0s0).
311 (4) Many device drivers that used to fake up labels, such as CD, ACD, VN,
312 and CCD now run through the disk management layer and are assigned
313 real disk management devices. VN and CCD in particular do not usually
314 use a MBR and disklabels must be accessed through the compatibility
315 slice 0. Your /etc/ccd.conf file still specifies 'ccd0', though, you
316 don't name it 'ccd0s0' in the config file.
318 Generally speaking, you have to get used to running fdisk and disklabel on
319 the correctly specified device names. A lot of the wiggle, such as running
320 disklabel on a partition, has been removed.
322 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
323 + UPGRADING FROM OLDER VERSIONS OF DRAGONFLY OR FREEBSD +
324 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
329 Kerberos IV (eBones) was removed from the tree, please consider moving to
330 Kerberos 5 (Heimdal).
332 > Package Management System
333 ---------------------------
335 Starting with the 1.4 release, DragonFly uses NetBSD's pkgsrc package
336 management system. The necessary tools to build and maintain packages
337 are provided in /usr/pkg/bin and /usr/pkg/sbin. Make sure that these
338 directories are in your PATH variable.
340 In order to obtain a reasonably current snapshot of the pkgsrc tree, use
341 the tarball from NetBSD:
343 fetch -o /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc.tar.gz
344 cd /usr; tar -xzf /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz; chown -R root:wheel pkgsrc
346 This tree can then be kept up to date with cvs update:
348 cd /usr/pkgsrc; cvs up
350 NOTE! If you upgraded from a pre-1.4 system to 1.4 or later, you need to
351 build and install the pkgsrc bootstrap manually:
353 cd /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap
354 ./bootstrap --pkgdbdir /var/db/pkg --prefix /usr/pkg

357 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY ON AN EXISTING DRAGONFLY SYSTEM +
358 + UPDATING FROM PRE-1.2 SYSTEMS OR FreeBSD 4.x TO +
359 + DRAGONFLY 1.3+ (EITHER PREVIEW or HEAD) +
360 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
362 The compatibility shims for the build environment have been removed, you
363 have to update to DragonFly 1.2 release branch first.
365 The default PAM configuration has moved from /etc/pam.conf to /etc/pam.d/.
366 The existing configuration can be converted using /etc/pam.d/convert.sh.
367 Entries in /etc/pam.d/ override entries in /etc/pam.conf. In addition
368 the pam_skey.so module was retired, you have to remove it manually from
369 your configuration, when you convert it.
371 > Required user and group IDs when upgrading from either FreeBSD or DragonFly
372 ---------------------
374 The following users may be missing from your password file. Use vipw and
375 add any that are missing:
377 smmsp:*:25:25::0:0:Sendmail Submission User:/var/spool/clientmqueue:/sbin/nologin
378 _pflogd:*:64:64::0:0:pflogd privsep user:/var/empty:/sbin/nologin
380 The following groups may be missing from your group file. Use vi /etc/group
381 and add any that are missing:
388 > Upgrading to DragonFly from FreeBSD
389 ---------------------
391 You can build the DragonFly world and DragonFly kernels on a FreeBSD-4.x or
392 FreeBSD-5.x machine and then install DragonFly over FreeBSD, replacing
393 FreeBSD. Note that the DragonFly buildworld target does not try to reuse
394 make depend information, it starts from scratch, so no pre-cleaning of the
395 object hierarchy is necessary.
397 # get the CVS repository (it is placed in /home/dcvs, 500MB).
398 # Please use the -h option and a mirror site to pull the
399 # initial repository, but feel free to use the main repository
400 # machine to pull updates.
401 cvsup /usr/share/examples/cvsup/DragonFly-cvs-supfile
402 # install the source from the CVS hierarchy (remove preexisting
403 # FreeBSD src first) (500MB)
406 cvs -R -d /home/dcvs checkout -P src
408 # build it (500MB used in /usr/obj)
412 make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
414 Once you have built DragonFly you have to install it over FreeBSD. Since
415 DragonFly does not track changes made by FreeBSD to its include file
416 hierarchy and include file pollution can cause all sorts of unexpected
417 compilation issues to come up, it is best to wipe your include hierarchy
418 prior to installing DragonFly. Note that you should not wipe any installed
419 FreeBSD header files or binaries until after you have successfully completed
420 the build steps above.
424 make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
427 Then you need to upgrade your system. DragonFly's 'make upgrade' target
428 will unconditionally upgrade the /etc files that sysops do not usually
429 mess around with, such as the files in /etc/rc.d. It will also remove any
430 obsolete files such as utilities and manpages that have been removed from
431 the system since the version you're coming from. If you are unsure we
432 recommend that you make a backup of at least your /etc before applying
433 this step. Note that DragonFly's RC system is basically RCNG from
434 FreeBSD-5, but there are some differences in the contents of the RC files.
438 NOTE! Never do a 'make upgrade' before 'make installworld' has been run.
439 Doing so might leave your system in an unusable state.
441 Finally we recommend that you do an 'ls -lta BLAH' for /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin,
442 /usr/bin, and /usr/lib, and remove any stale files that you find. Please
443 report these files to the DragonFly developers so that they can be added to
444 the 'upgrade' target.
