12 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.0 to later versions +
13 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
15 APIC_IO OPTION REMOVED
16 ----------------------
18 The APIC_IO kernel option is no longer accepted after having been without
19 effect for a while. The hw.ioapic_enable tunable now serves its purpose.
20 If you have 'options APIC_IO' in your kernel config, you'll have to

24 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.10 to later versions +
25 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
27 SEVERAL ISA DRIVERS REMOVED
28 ---------------------------
30 The following ISA only drivers have been removed along with a couple of
31 associated userland tools:
47 tw(4) & xten(1) & xtend(8)
51 Note that two of these drivers (aha(4) and ie(4)) are in our GENERIC
52 config and one (aha(4)) is in our X86_64_GENERIC kernel configuration
55 If buildkernel complains about any of these drivers, just remove them
56 from your kernel configuration.
60 Binutils 2.20 has been removed in favor of Binutils 2.22. The accepted
61 values of BINUTILSVERS are now binutils221 and binutils222 (default).
63 BUILDWORLD/-KERNEL PARALLELIZATION WORK
64 ---------------------------------------
65 Due to changes in the way we build with more than one make job, you
66 will have to update install(1) and mkdir(1) prior to buildworld if you
67 want to build with 'make -j':
69 cd /usr/src/usr.bin/xinstall; make; make install; make clean
70 cd /usr/src/bin/mkdir; make; make install; make clean
74 dma(8) has been upgraded to v0.7 which no longer supports the
75 /etc/dma/virtusertable. Some of its functionality has been replaced
76 with the MASQUERADE keyword and the EMAIL environment variable (see
77 the dma(8) manual page).
79 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
80 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.8 to later versions +
81 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
83 GCC 4.4 & BINUTILS 2.21
84 -----------------------
86 GCC 4.4 has been made DragonFly's default compiler and Binutils 2.21 has
87 been made DragonFly's default Binutils.
89 That means that any settings that set CCVER to 'gcc44' are not needed
90 anymore. Instead, CCVER can be set to 'gcc41' to go back to using
93 It also means that 'binutils221' as a value for BINUTILSVER has no
94 effect anymore. 2.17 has been removed and 'binutils220' is available
97 The NO_GCC44 option has been removed and will not affect the build
98 anymore. There is now a NO_GCC41 option that will prevent GCC 4.1 from
99 building in a similar fashion.
101 Note that you must do a full buildworld/buildkernel for upgrading.
106 The config file for pkg_radd has moved from /etc/settings.conf to
107 /etc/pkg_radd.conf. Save the contents of settings.conf before upgrading
108 if this is needed. This warning only applies if /etc/settings.conf
109 exists. pkg_radd will continue to work with defaults.
111 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
113 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.6 to 2.8 or HEAD +
114 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
119 OpenSSL has been upgraded, and SHLIB_MAJOR was bumped for libssh and libcrypto.
120 This shouldn't break any 3rd-party software, but you'll need to recompile your
121 3rd-party software if you want it to link against the new version of OpenSSL.
126 A new loader (dloader) has been added which better handles booting from
127 multiple kernel/module versions.
129 To upgrade (Only for this upgrade, for post 2.8 upgrades see GENERAL below)
135 make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
136 make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
138 Note that you must installworld and run the 'upgrade' target before
139 installing the new kernel.
144 BIND has been removed from the base system. The ldns and drill tools have
145 been added for basic functionality. Use 'drill' where you would normally
146 use nslookup or dig, or install BIND from pkgsrc. It's available as
147 net/bind95, net/bind96, or net/bind97 as of this writing.
149 This only affects older systems upgrading to 2.8. New 2.8+ installs
150 include BIND as a pkgsrc package.
152 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
153 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY ON AN EXISTING DRAGONFLY SYSTEM +
155 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
157 Instructions on how to obtain and maintain DragonFly source code using git
158 are in the development(7) manual page.
160 To upgrade a DragonFly system from sources you run the following sequence:
164 make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
165 make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
168 You will also want to run the 'upgrade' target to upgrade your /etc and the
169 rest of your system. The upgrade target is aware of stale files created by
170 older DragonFly installations and should delete them automatically.
174 See the build(7) manual page for further information.
176 Once you've done a full build of the world and kernel you can do incremental
177 upgrades of either by using the 'quickworld' and 'quickkernel' targets
178 instead of 'buildworld' and 'buildkernel'. If you have any problems with
179 the quick targets, try updating your repo first, and then a full buildworld
180 and buildkernel as shown above, before asking for help.
182 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
183 + UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 2.0 TO DRAGONFLY >= 2.1 +
184 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
186 In 2.1 kernel and modules has moved to boot directory. For most cases
187 this is handled automatically by 'make upgrade'. A few cases needs manual
190 * When installing a kernel without first doing a make buildworld,
191 installworld and upgrade to the same DESTDIR as kernel:
192 make DESTDIR/boot directory and move kernel and modules into this boot
193 directory; also move kernel.old and modules.old.
194 Typical example is vkernel(7), use (no modules used):
198 chflags noschg kernel
199 mv kernel kernel.old boot
200 chflags schg boot/kernel
202 * When using a boot-only partition, /boot/loader.rc needs to be edited:
203 delete occurrences of '/boot/'.
204 These occurences can normally be deleted in any case, see loader(8).
206 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
207 + UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 1.8 TO DRAGONFLY >= 1.9 +
208 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
210 In 1.9 major changes to the disk management infrastructure have taken
211 place. make upgrade may not catch all of your disk devices in /dev,
212 so after upgrading be sure to cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV <blah> where <blah>
213 are all of your disk devices. HOWEVER, from late 2.3 on we run devfs
214 and MAKEDEV no longer exists.
216 The biggest changes in 1.9 are:
218 (1) That whole-slice devices such as da0s1 no longer share the same device
219 id as partition c devices such as da0s1c.
221 (2) The whole-disk device (e.g. da0) is full raw access to the disk,
222 with no snooping or reserved sectors. Consequently you cannot run
223 disklabel on this device. Instead you must run disklabel on a
226 (3) The 'compatibility' partitions now use slice 0 in the device name,
227 so instead of da0a you must specify da0s0a. Also, as per (1) above,
228 accessing the disklabel for the compatibility partitions must be
229 done via slice 0 (da0s0).
231 (4) Many device drivers that used to fake up labels, such as CD, ACD, VN,
232 and CCD now run through the disk management layer and are assigned
233 real disk management devices. VN and CCD in particular do not usually
234 use a MBR and disklabels must be accessed through the compatibility
235 slice 0. Your /etc/ccd.conf file still specifies 'ccd0', though, you
236 don't name it 'ccd0s0' in the config file.
238 Generally speaking, you have to get used to running fdisk and disklabel on
239 the correctly specified device names. A lot of the wiggle, such as running
240 disklabel on a partition, has been removed.
242 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
243 + UPGRADING FROM OLDER VERSIONS OF DRAGONFLY OR FREEBSD +
244 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
249 Kerberos IV (eBones) was removed from the tree, please consider moving to
250 Kerberos 5 (Heimdal).
252 > Package Management System
253 ---------------------------
255 Starting with the 1.4 release, DragonFly uses NetBSD's pkgsrc package
256 management system. The necessary tools to build and maintain packages
257 are provided in /usr/pkg/bin and /usr/pkg/sbin. Make sure that these
258 directories are in your PATH variable.
260 In order to obtain a reasonably current snapshot of the pkgsrc tree, use
261 the tarball from NetBSD:
263 fetch -o /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc.tar.gz
264 cd /usr; tar -xzf /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz; chown -R root:wheel pkgsrc
266 This tree can then be kept up to date with cvs update:
268 cd /usr/pkgsrc; cvs up
270 NOTE! If you upgraded from a pre-1.4 system to 1.4 or later, you need to
271 build and install the pkgsrc bootstrap manually:
273 cd /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap
274 ./bootstrap --pkgdbdir /var/db/pkg --prefix /usr/pkg

278 + UPDATING FROM PRE-1.2 SYSTEMS OR FreeBSD 4.x TO +
279 + DRAGONFLY 1.3+ (EITHER PREVIEW or HEAD) +
280 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
282 The compatibility shims for the build environment have been removed, you
283 have to update to DragonFly 1.2 release branch first.
285 The default PAM configuration has moved from /etc/pam.conf to /etc/pam.d/.
286 The existing configuration can be converted using /etc/pam.d/convert.sh.
287 Entries in /etc/pam.d/ override entries in /etc/pam.conf. In addition
288 the pam_skey.so module was retired, you have to remove it manually from
289 your configuration, when you convert it.
291 > Required user and group IDs when upgrading from either FreeBSD or DragonFly
292 ---------------------
294 The following users may be missing from your password file. Use vipw and
295 add any that are missing:
297 smmsp:*:25:25::0:0:Sendmail Submission User:/var/spool/clientmqueue:/sbin/nologin
298 _pflogd:*:64:64::0:0:pflogd privsep user:/var/empty:/sbin/nologin
300 The following groups may be missing from your group file. Use vi /etc/group
301 and add any that are missing:
308 > Upgrading to DragonFly from FreeBSD
309 ---------------------
311 You can build the DragonFly world and DragonFly kernels on a FreeBSD-4.x or
312 FreeBSD-5.x machine and then install DragonFly over FreeBSD, replacing
313 FreeBSD. Note that the DragonFly buildworld target does not try to reuse
314 make depend information, it starts from scratch, so no pre-cleaning of the
315 object hierarchy is necessary.
317 # get the CVS repository (it is placed in /home/dcvs, 500MB).
318 # Please use the -h option and a mirror site to pull the
319 # initial repository, but feel free to use the main repository
320 # machine to pull updates.
321 cvsup /usr/share/examples/cvsup/DragonFly-cvs-supfile
322 # install the source from the CVS hierarchy (remove preexisting
323 # FreeBSD src first) (500MB)
326 cvs -R -d /home/dcvs checkout -P src
328 # build it (500MB used in /usr/obj)
332 make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
334 Once you have built DragonFly you have to install it over FreeBSD. Since
335 DragonFly does not track changes made by FreeBSD to its include file
336 hierarchy and include file pollution can cause all sorts of unexpected
337 compilation issues to come up, it is best to wipe your include hierarchy
338 prior to installing DragonFly. Note that you should not wipe any installed
339 FreeBSD header files or binaries until after you have successfully completed
340 the build steps above.
344 make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
347 Then you need to upgrade your system. DragonFly's 'make upgrade' target
348 will unconditionally upgrade the /etc files that sysops do not usually
349 mess around with, such as the files in /etc/rc.d. It will also remove any
350 obsolete files such as utilities and manpages that have been removed from
351 the system since the version you're coming from. If you are unsure we
352 recommend that you make a backup of at least your /etc before applying
353 this step. Note that DragonFly's RC system is basically RCNG from
354 FreeBSD-5, but there are some differences in the contents of the RC files.
358 NOTE! Never do a 'make upgrade' before 'make installworld' has been run.
359 Doing so might leave your system in an unusable state.
361 Finally we recommend that you do an 'ls -lta BLAH' for /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin,
362 /usr/bin, and /usr/lib, and remove any stale files that you find. Please
363 report these files to the DragonFly developers so that they can be added to
364 the 'upgrade' target.
