This file documents some of the problems you may encounter when upgrading
your ports. We try our best to minimize these disruptions, but sometimes
they are unavoidable.
You should get into the habit of checking this file for changes each time
you update your ports collection, before attempting any port upgrades.

installed, you need to pkg_delete them both prior to this update.
20120910:
AFFECTS: users of www/libxul
AUTHOR: gecko@FreeBSD.org
The www/libxul has been updated to 10.0 and the older version 1.9.2
has moved to www/libxul19.
If you want to stay with 1.9.2 please run the following command:
# portmaster -o www/libxul19 www/libxul
or
# portupgrade -o www/libxul19 www/libxul
or
# pkg set -o www/libxul:www/libxul19
20120909:
AFFECTS: users of www/testlink
AUTHOR: tota@FreeBSD.org
Testlink 1.9.4 was released. Before updating, you should read carefully
the included README file or go to www.teamst.org (Forum: TestLink 1.9.4
News, changes, etc) because this release requires a manual update of the

AFFECTS: users of irc/bitlbee, irc/irssi-otr, net-im/climm, net-im/mcabber, net/kdenetwork4, security/kopete-otr, security/py-otr
AUTHOR: Doug Barton <dougb@FreeBSD.org>
The libotr library has been bumped in version 4.0.0, and the new version is
not compatible with the old. In order to make it possible for both versions
to coexist in the short term the old version has been moved to a new port.
If you are currently using pidgin-otr:
# pkg_delete -f pidgin-otr\*
Then:
# portmaster -o security/libotr3 security/libotr
# portmaster -r libotr
or
# portugrade -o security/libotr3 security/libotr
# portugrade -r libotr
or
# pkg set -o security/libotr:security/libotr3
20120902:
AFFECTS: users of www/apache22, www/apache22-event-mpm, www/apache22-itk-mpm, www/apache22-peruser-mpm, www/apache22-worker-mpm
AUTHOR: ohauer@FreeBSD.org
The port use now the options NG framework, this means WITH_xxx
directives are no longer valid.
Additional:
- APR only specific options like THREADS, MYSQL, PGSQL, SQLITE,
BDB and IPV6 where removed.
- PKGNAME has changed from apache-2... to apache22-2...

# pkg install -fR devel/apr1
20120902:
AFFECTS: users of math/cantor and math/kalgebra
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
If you have both cantor and kalgebra installed, chances are that
your cantor installation is corrupted. If the file

your system, rebuild cantor after updating kalgebra to 4.8.4_1 (or
later).
20120822:
AFFECTS: users of net/asterisk16, net/asterisk16-addons
AUTHOR: Florian Smeets <flo@FreeBSD.org>
asterisk16 has been unsupported upstream for a while now and has known
security vulnerabilities, therefore it was removed from the ports tree.
People still running net/asterisk16 should upgrade to net/asterisk.
First delete the asterisk addons, as they are part of asterisk now.
# pkg_delete -f asterisk16-addons\*
after that you can run one of the following
# portmaster -o net/asterisk net/asterisk16
or
# portupgrade -o net/asterisk net/asterisk16
or
# pkg set -o net/asterisk16:net/asterisk
After that you need to update your configuration. Take a look at the following
URL for the changes between 1.6 and 1.8
http://svnview.digium.com/svn/asterisk/branches/1.8/UPGRADE.txt
20120820:
AFFECTS: users of ports-mgmt/portupgrade-devel
AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org
Due to a bug introduced in 20120601, portupgrade is unable to
upgrade itself on FreeBSD 7.x. This has been fixed in 20120820.
ports-mgmt/portupgrade is not affected. To upgrade, execute the following:
# make -C /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portupgrade-devel all deinstall install clean
20120817:

20120816:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/cfengine*
AUTHOR: gjb@FreeBSD.org
The sysutils/cfengine* ports have been renamed as follows:
o sysutils/cfengine -> sysutils/cfengine22
o sysutils/cfengine3-legacy -> sysutils/cfengine32
o sysutils/cfengine3 -> sysutils/cfengine33
Users are reminded to update the port origins, for example:
# portmaster -o sysutils/cfengine22 sysutils/cfengine
or
# portupgrade -fo sysutils/cfengine22 sysutils/cfengine
or
# pkg set -o sysutils/cfengine:sysutils/cfengine22
20120815:
AFFECTS: users of lang/erlang
AUTHOR: olgeni@FreeBSD.org
The lang/erlang port was updated to R15B01. Some port options
were updated, so be sure to run "make config" in the port directory
and check your configuration before upgrading.
To upgrade Erlang and rebuild all of the dependent ports under
the new environment:
# portmaster -r erlang
or
# portupgrade -r lang/erlang
20120815:
AFFECTS: users of lang/erlang-lite
AUTHOR: olgeni@FreeBSD.org
The lang/erlang-lite port uses the same default options as
lang/erlang, which were changed some time ago.
The couchdb, rabbitmq, freeswitch-core and freeswitch-core-devel
ports have been updated to use lang/erlang rather than lang/erlang-lite.
Please check that your lang/erlang options are configured as you
wish (especially X11 support), then follow the instructions below
to update your dependencies.

AFFECTS: users of audio/libogg
AUTHOR: naddy@FreeBSD.org
There is a new version of libogg (1.3.0) and the shared library version
has been bumped (ogg.7 to ogg.8). All ports that have an identifiable
direct dependency on this library have had their PORTREVISIONs bumped.
However, some ports that pull in the library indirectly may continue to
look for the old version. To ensure that all are updated, perform this
step:
# portmaster -r libogg
or
# portupgrade -rf libogg
20120717:
AFFECTS: users of ftp/proftpd
AUTHOR: mm@FreeBSD.org
The options of ProFTPD have been made much more user-friendly.
As the modules are all shared libraries, all possible modules are built
and installed. The following modules are now in separate slave ports:
databases/proftpd-mod_sql_odbc: mod_sql_odbc
databases/proftpd-mod_sql_sqlite: mod_sql_sqlite
databases/proftpd-mod_sql_tds: mod_sql_tds

AFFECTS: users of math/metis
AUTHOR: bf@FreeBSD.org
The older version of metis has been moved to math/metis4, and
math/metis has been updated to 5.0.2. Dependent ports still use
the old API, and the different versions of metis cannot coexist, so
most users should update with:
# portmaster -o math/metis4 math/metis
# portmaster -r math/metis4
or the equivalent.
20120702:
AFFECTS: users of databases/couchdb
AUTHOR: crees@FreeBSD.org, Adam Strohl <adams-ports@ateamsystems.com>
The couchdb port has an unfortunate side effect; versions before 1.2.0
will clobber local.ini. The port will refuse to build if that file is
present and an earlier version is installed, however no such protection
can be afforded to package installation.
To upgrade from 1.1.0 and earlier, simply move PREFIX/etc/couchdb/local.ini
out of the way until the upgrade is complete.
20120702:
AFFECTS: users of net-im/mikutter
AUTHOR: tota@FreeBSD.org
The net-im/mikutter has been updated to 0.1.1.810 which is required
Ruby 1.9.2 or later. Before upgrading this port, please see the entry
20110822 in this file to upgrade Ruby to 1.9.
If you want to stay with 0.0.3 (requires Ruby 1.8.7, 1.9.2 or later),
please run the following command:
# portmaster -o net-im/mikutter003 net-im/mikutter
or
# portupgrade -o net-im/mikutter003 net-im/mikutter
20120630:
AFFECTS: users of lang/perl*
AUTHOR: skv@FreeBSD.org
lang/perl5.16 is out. If you want to switch to it from, for example
lang/perl5.12, that is:
Portupgrade users:
0) Fix pkgdb.db (for safety):
pkgdb -Ff
1) Reinstall new version of Perl (5.16):
env DISABLE_CONFLICTS=1 portupgrade -o lang/perl5.16 -f perl-5.12.\*
2) Reinstall everything that depends on Perl:
portupgrade -fr perl
Portmaster users:
portmaster -o lang/perl5.16 lang/perl5.12
Conservative:
portmaster p5-
Comprehensive (but perhaps overkill):
portmaster -r perl-
Note: If the "perl-" glob matches more than one port you will need to
specify the name of the Perl directory in /var/db/pkg explicitly.
The default version for Perl has also been changed from 5.12 to 5.14.
20120623:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/xfce4-utils
AUTHOR: xfce@FreeBSD.org
The port has been discontinued, and installs files that conflict with

20120618:
AFFECTS: users of databases/db5
AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org
The databases/db5 port has been upgraded to BerkeleyDB 5.3. This
entails a shared library bump.
Before upgrading this port, check if your applications use
transactional data bases, and if they do, prepare them for a log file
format upgrade. YOU MUST DO THIS BEFORE YOU UPGRADE THE DB5 PORT! See:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17076_02/html/upgrading/upgrade_process.html
All packages that depend on db5 need to be rebuilt due to the shared
library version change. The full changelog is at
http://download.oracle.com/otndocs/products/berkeleydb/html/changelog_5_3.html
To upgrade the packages that need Berkeley DB 5, please
issue one of the following commands (depending on your preferred tool):
# portmaster -r db5-5
or
# portupgrade -fr databases/db5
20120616:
AFFECTS: users of www/lighttpd
AUTHOR: mm@FreeBSD.org
The lighttpd startup script has been changed and is now compatible to the
apache startup script. The "reload" subcommand now sends a SIGHUP to the
process and triggers cycling of log files. The new command "graceful"
performs a graceful restart (similiar to former "reload") and "gracefulstop"
performs a graceful stop. The "check" command has been replaced with
the "configtest" command.
20120615:
AFFECTS: users of databases/akonadi
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
The latest Akonadi update includes critical bug fixes. Manual
intervention is required for people using local MySQL database (the
default configuration) as backend:
$ akonadictl stop
Wait a bit, and make sure that akonadiserver and akonadi_control are
not running. Kill them if needed. Then, you have two alternatives:
$ mysql_install_db --force \
--defaults-file=~/.local/share/akonadi/mysql.conf \
--datadir=~/.local/share/akonadi/db_data \
--basedir=$(dirname `dirname $(which mysql_install_db)`)
$ rm ~/.local/share/akonadi/mysql.conf
...or...
$ rm -r ~/.local/share/akonadi
In the latter case, Akonadi will have to recache your personal data
(might take a while). Akonadi is only a cache, no data will be lost.
Then:
$ akonadictl start
20120613:
AFFECTS: users of graphics/djvulibre and graphics/djvulibre-nox11
AUTHOR: bf@FreeBSD.org
DjVuLibre been updated to 3.5.25.3. The QT3 GUI that was in
graphics/djvulibre has been removed (users of this GUI should consider
switching to the new QT4 GUI in graphics/djview4), and
graphics/djvulibre-nox11 has been merged back into graphics/djvulibre.
To update DjVuLibre, you can use:
# pkg_delete djvulibre-\?.\*
# portmaster -o graphics/djvulibre djvulibre-nox11
You should then update any installed ports that link to the djvulibre shared
library: converters/pdf2djvu, graphics/djview4, graphics/okular, and --
if optional djvulibre support was enabled -- graphics/ImageMagick,
graphics/apvlv, and graphics/evince.

AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql*-server
AUTHOR: jgh@FreeBSD.org
Affected users are those who use the crypt(text, text) function with
DES encryption in the optional pg_crypto module. Passwords affected
are those that contain characters that cannot be represented with
7-bit ASCII. If a password contains a character that has the most
significant bit set (0x80), and DES encryption is used, that character
and all characters after it will be ignored.
20120530:
AFFECTS: users of net/nss-pam-ldapd
AUTHOR: scheidell@FreeBSD.org
The net/nss-pam-ldapd port no longer provides an option for SASL. This has
been sourced out to the new net/nss-pam-ldapd-sasl port, to accomodate
users using packages (see ports/162240). Users with openldap-sasl-client
installed are encouraged to change the port's origin to:
net/nss-pam-ldapd-sasl using their favorite ports management tool.
Example for portmaster:
portmaster -o net/nss-pam-ldapd-sasl nss-pam-ldapd

AUTHOR: crees@FreeBSD.org
p5-XML-SAX (X-S) was split into p5-XML-SAX-Base (X-S-B) and p5-XML-SAX for
version 0.99. Since X-S-B now installs some files formerly installed by X-S
the package for X-S must be deinstalled before updating X-S.
# pkg_delete -fx p5-XML-SAX
# portmaster textproc/p5-XML-SAX
(users of pkgng can substitute pkg_delete with pkg delete)
20120511:
AFFECTS: users of graphics/xpdf
AUTHOR: cy@FreeBSD.org
In order to allow graphics/xpdf and graphics/poppler-utils to coexist,
graphics/xpdf binaries have been moved from ${LOCALBASE}/bin to
${LOCALBASE}/lib/xpdf. The symlink ${LOCALBASE}/bin/xpdf points to
${LOCALBASE}/lib/xpdf/xpdf. However the other utilities installed by
the xpdf port conflict with poppler-utils, no symlinks are maintained.
Applicaions and scripts which use the pdf* utilities provided by
graphics/xpdf must reference them using their new location, specify
${LOCALBASE}/lib/xpdf in $PATH, or use the same utilities provided by
graphics/poppler-utils.

20120430:
AFFECTS: users of www/py-google-api-python-client
AUTHOR: nivit@FreeBSD.org
The port has been updated to 1.0.b8. This new version has important
changes which might break your code:
* apiclient.anyjson has moved to oauth2client.anyjson.
* Some calls, for example, taskqueue().lease() used to require
a parameter named body. In this new release only methods that
really need to send a body require a body parameter, and so
you may get errors about an unknown 'body' parameter in your call.
The solution is to remove the unneeded body={} parameter
See http://code.google.com/p/google-api-python-client/wiki/PyDoc for
more information.
