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.
20200428:
AFFECTS: x11-servers/xwayland-devel
AUTHOR: jbeich@FreeBSD.org
DRI3 is enabled by default since mesa-libs-18.3.2_4, so you no
longer need to define LIBGL_DRI3_ENABLE in ~/.profile or ~/.login.
See 20200308 entry for more details.
20200418:
AFFECTS: users of mail/mailman
AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org
Mailman versions on FreeBSD before (exclusively) 2.1.30 have not marked the
web templates as "sample" files, and would overwrite changes made locally or
through the web interface on updates.
BEFORE updating mailman from a version such as 2.1.29_* or older, please
backup /usr/local/mailman/templates/ before the upgrade, and after installing
mailman 2.1.30 or a newer 2.1.x, restore from backup, overwriting the
existing newly installed templates/LANG/... files with those from your
backup, and then diff them against the respective *.sample files. The *.txt
and *.html files are yours, and *.sample are the distributed ones.
Once you have upgraded to 2.1.30, the port or package will take care to only
replace files that were unaltered from the shipped version.
20200403:
AFFECTS: users of x11-fonts/fontconfig
AUTHOR: desktop@FreeBSD.org
Fontconfig 2.13.1 generated .uuid files in the fonts directory which where
not properly registered to the packages. To clean them up, please execute the
following command:
find /usr/local/share/fonts -type f -name .uuid -delete
20200326:
AFFECTS: users of devel/sonarqube and devel/sonar-ant-task
AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org
The outdated port devel/sonarqube has moved to
devel/sonarqube-community to make it clear that it is the community
edition. The log and DB files are still stored in the same location.
The devel/sonar-ant-task port has moved to devel/sonarqube-ant-task
to match the upstream-name. The install location is renamed
accordingly.
At the same time the user/group of the sonarqube port changed from
www:www to sonarqube:sonarqube.
It is expected that nobody was using the 6.2 version from 2016
anymore and no change needs to be done. No analysis was done to check
if the old 6.2 version can be updated in-place to the 8.2 version.
As such if there is still someone using the old 6.2 version, you may
have to delete /var/log/sonarqube and /var/db/sonarqube before
installing the new version.
20200320
AFFECTS: users of devel/qca
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
New versions of devel/qca stopped supporting OpenSSL < 1.1.
For this reason devel/qca-legacy has been added, which is
held back at an older version until FreeBSD 11 goes EOL.
Ports depending on devel/qca should stop adding direct LIB_DEPENDS
and switch to depending on it via USES=qca.
FreeBSD 11 users might want to run something like
pkg set -o devel/qca:devel/qca-legacy
20200320:
AFFECTS: users of x11/libxkbcommon
AUTHOR: zeising@FreeBSD.org
The libxkbcommon library (x11/libxkbcommon), used to handle keyboards
in some applications, most notably kde and wayland, have been switched
to use evdev rules by default on FreeBSD 12 and later. Some keys, most
notably arrow keys, may not work in applications using libxkbcommon if
you are using xf86-input-keyboard rather than xf86-input-libinput.
If you have trouble with the keyboard keys, and if /var/log/Xorg.*.log
shows that the "kbd" or "keyboard" driver is being used, you need to
switch to legacy rules by setting the environment variable
XKB_DEFAULT_RULES to xorg.
This switch is made to match the default configuration on FreeBSD 12.1 and
later, the default configuration on FreeBSD 11.3 still uses the legacy
rules.
20200316:
AFFECTS: users of net-im/slack-term
AUTHOR: dmgk@FreeBSD.org
The config file location was changed from ~/.slack-term to
~/.config/slack-term/config, please move your existing config file
accordingly.
20200308
AFFECTS: users of graphics/mesa-libs and legacy graphics drivers
AUTHOR: zeising@FreeBSD.org
The mesa OpenGL library (graphics/mesa-libs) has been switched to use DRI3
by default, instead of the older DRI2 interface. This might cause regressions
when using the legacy graphics drivers, either through
graphics/drm-legacy-kmod or the graphics drivers in base.
If you experience issues when running OpenGL applications it is possible
to force the use of DRI2 by setting the LIBGL_DRI3_DISABLE environment
variable to 1 before starting any OpenGL application. The easiest way to
do this is by adding it to either your shell startup files or .xinitrc.
20200306
AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql80-server
AUTHOR: joneum@FreeBSD.org
As of MySQL 8.0.16, the MySQL server performs the upgrade tasks previously
handled by mysql_upgrade. Consequently, mysql_upgrade is unneeded and is
deprecated as of that version, and will be removed in a future MySQL version.
Because mysql_upgrade no longer performs upgrade tasks,
it exits with status 0 unconditionally.
20200303:
AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/librenms
AUTHOR: dvl@FreeBSD.org
1. Apache / mod_php options removed
The APACHEMOD option has been removed. LibreNMS can be used
with other webservers, not just Apache. In order to simplify
the port, the option was removed.
Now you manually install the webserver of your preference.
If upgrading from LibreNMS < 1.61, you can do this to
prevent 'pkg autoremove' from uninstalling Apache / mod_php:
$ sudo pkg set -A 0 apache24 mod_php74
Mark apache24-2.4.41 as not automatically installed? [y/N]: y
Mark mod_php74-7.4.3 as not automatically installed? [y/N]: y
Adjust mod_php74 to suit the version of mod_php you have.
2. include/defaults.inc.php is gone
The file include/defaults.inc.php is no longer distributed by
the upstream project. The FreeBSD port patched this file to
correct the paths to common tools such as ping, snmpwalk, etc.
These values previously adjusted by the port must now be specified
in config.php. New installs will have this automatically, but existing
installs must be updated manually. These are the entries you should
add if upgrading from LibreNMS < 1.61:
$config['snmpwalk'] = '/usr/local/bin/snmpwalk';
$config['snmpget'] = '/usr/local/bin/snmpget';
$config['snmpbulkwalk'] = '/usr/local/bin/snmpbulkwalk';
$config['snmptranslate'] = '/usr/local/bin/snmptranslate';
$config['ping'] = '/sbin/ping';
$config['mtr'] = '/usr/local/bin/mtr';
$config['nmap'] = '/usr/local/bin/nmap';
$config['nagios_plugins'] = '/usr/local/libexec/nagios';
$config['ipmitool'] = '/usr/local/bin/ipmitool';
$config['virsh'] = '/usr/local/bin/virsh';
$config['dot'] = '/usr/local/bin/dot';
$config['sfdp'] = '/usr/local/bin/sfdp';
$config['nfdump'] = '/usr/local/bin/nfdump';
20200229:
AFFECTS: users of textproc/apache-solr
AUTHOR: mfechner@FreeBSD.org
Apache-solr switched to the supported java LTS version 11.

AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/netbox
AUTHOR: kai@FreeBSD.org
1. Removal of the Topology Maps feature
The deprecated topology maps feature has been removed. Please replicate
any required data to another source before upgrading NetBox to v2.7.7, as
any existing topology maps will be deleted.
2. Changed REDIS database configuration settings
The REDIS database configuration parameters were splitted up in two
discrete subsections named "webhooks" and "caching" with the 2.7 release.
This requires modification of the REDIS parameter in configuration.py as
follows:
Old Redis sample configuration:
REDIS = {
'HOST': 'localhost',
'PORT': 6379,
'PASSWORD': '',
'DATABASE': 0,
'CACHE_DATABASE': 1,
'DEFAULT_TIMEOUT': 300,
'SSL': False,
}
New Redis sample configuration:
REDIS = {
'webhooks': {
'HOST': 'redis.example.com',
'PORT': 1234,
'PASSWORD': 'foobar',
'DATABASE': 0,
'DEFAULT_TIMEOUT': 300,
'SSL': False,
},
'caching': {
'HOST': 'localhost',
'PORT': 6379,
'PASSWORD': '',
'DATABASE': 1,
'DEFAULT_TIMEOUT': 300,
'SSL': False,
}
}
Note that the CACHE_DATABASE parameter has been removed and the connection
settings have been duplicated for both webhooks and caching. This allows
one to make use of separate Redis instances if desired. It is fine to use
the same Redis service for both functions, although the database
identifiers should be different.
Please also check the pkg-message and the changelogs for further info.

AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
The library part of security/gsasl has been split into security/libgsasl.
The security/gsasl now depends on security/libgsasl. Due to this change,
old security/gsasl conflicts with the new security/libgsasl and it can
prevent the installed security/gsasl from upgrading. Please remove the
installed security/gsasl before upgrading if a conflict error occurs.

AFFECTS: consumers of net/py-urllib3
AUTHOR: kai@FreeBSD.org
Since version 1.25 HTTPS connections are now verified by default which is
done via "cert_reqs = 'CERT_REQUIRED'". While certificate verification
can be disabled via "cert_reqs = 'CERT_NONE'", it's highly recommended to
leave it on.
Various consumers of net/py-urllib3 already have implemented routines that
either explicitly enable or disable HTTPS certificate verification (e.g.
via configuration settings, CLI arguments, etc.).
Yet it may happen that there are still some consumers which don't
explicitly enable/disable certificate verification for HTTPS connections
which could then lead to errors (as is often the case with self-signed
certificates).
In case of an error one should try first to temporarily disable
certificate verification of the problematic urllib3 consumer to see if
this approach will remedy the issue.

AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/netbox
AUTHOR: kai@FreeBSD.org
Since the 2.6 release a running Redis server instance is required for
caching objects to run. Also the following settings like below need to be
added (or modified) in the existing configuration.py:
REDIS = {
'HOST': 'localhost',
'PORT': 6397,
'PASSWORD': ''
'DATABASE': 0,
'CACHE_DATABASE': 1,
'DEFAULT_TIMEOUT': 300,
'SSL': False,
}
Note that if you were using these settings in a prior release with
webhooks, the DATABASE setting remains the same but an additional
CACHE_DATABASE settings has been added with a default value of 1 to
support the caching backend.
The DATABASE setting will be renamed in a future release of NetBox to
better relay the meaning of the setting. It is highly recommended to keep
the webhook and cache databases separate. Using the same database number

AFFECTS: users of www/gitlab-ce
AUTHOR: mfechner@FreeBSD.org
Make sure you upgrade your PostgreSQL to version 11 as described in 20190829,
before you upgrade your gitlab-ce version.
Gitlab-ce 12.1 needs at least PostgreSQL version 9.6.
After this you can follow the usual upgrade guide:
https://gitlab.fechner.net/mfechner/Gitlab-docu/blob/master/update/12.0-12.1-freebsd.md
20190829:
AFFECTS: users of database/postgresql* and other software using PostgreSQL to run
AUTHOR: tz@FreeBSD.org
The default version of PostgreSQL has been switched from 9.5 to 11.
The upgrade procedure can use up twice the space the databases
currently needs. If you have a big amount of stored data take a
closer look at the manpage of pg_upgrade for avoidance and/or
speedup of the upgrade.
The upgrade instructions consider a basic usage and do not match
complex scenarios like replication, sharding, or similar.
Upgrade instructions:
First stop your PostgreSQL, create PostgreSQL-binaries and backup your data.
If you have another Version of PostgreSQL installed, for example 9.5.19, your
files are named according to this.
# service postgresql stop
# pkg create postgresql95-server postgresql95-contrib
# mkdir /tmp/pg-upgrade
# tar xf postgresql95-server-9.5.19.txz -C /tmp/pg-upgrade
# tar xf postgresql95-contrib-9.5.19.txz -C /tmp/pg-upgrade
# pkg delete -f databases/postgresql95-server databases/postgresql95-contrib databases/postgresql95-client
Now update PostgreSQL:
pkg user:
# pkg install databases/postgresql11-server databases/postgresql11-contrib
# pkg upgrade
Portmaster users:
# portmaster databases/postgresql11-server databases/postgresql11-contrib
# portmaster -a
Portupgrade users:
# portinstall databases/postgresql11-server databases/postgresql11-contrib
# portupgrade -a
After installing the new PostgreSQL version you need to convert
all your databases to new version:
# su -l postgres -c "/usr/local/bin/initdb --encoding=utf-8 --lc-collate=C -D /var/db/postgres/data11 -U pgsql"
# chown -R postgres /usr/local/pgsql/data/
# su -l postgres -c "pg_upgrade -b /tmp/pg-upgrade/usr/local/bin/ -d /usr/local/pgsql/data/ -B /usr/local/bin/ -D /var/db/postgres/data11/ -U pgsql "
Now the migration is finished. You can start PostgreSQL again with:
# service postgresql start
ATTENTION:
1) The default user changed from "pgsql" to "postgres". The migration steps above preserve
the "pgsql" database user while the database daemon is now executed as the "postgres" FreeBSD user.
2) The default data dir changed from "/usr/local/pgsql/data/" to "/var/db/postgres/data11/"
3) If you use non-default initdb options, you have to adjust the initdb-command accordingly

AFFECTS: users with DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=linux=c6 or c6_64 in /etc/make.conf
AUTHOR: tijl@FreeBSD.org
On amd64 adding DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=linux=c6 to /etc/make.conf made Linux
infrastructure ports (linux_base-c6 and linux-c6*) install i386 CentOS 6
packages. Using c6_64 instead of c6 made them install mixed amd64/i386
CentOS 6 packages and allowed Linux application ports to install amd64
binaries when available. The i386-only configuration was only useful for
users of x11/nvidia-driver* which didn't provide Linux amd64 emulation
until recently.
With x11/nvidia-driver* now supporting Linux amd64 there's no longer a
need for i386-only Linux on amd64 so DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=linux=c6 has been
changed to make Linux infrastructure ports install mixed amd64/i386
CentOS 6 packages, like c6_64 before, and support for c6_64 has been
removed.
Users with DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=linux=c6 should reinstall linux_base-c6 and
all packages that depend on it. A list of dependent packages can be
obtained with the following command:
pkg info -r linux_base-c6
Users with DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=linux=c6_64 only need to replace c6_64 with
c6 in /etc/make.conf.
Users of x11/nvidia-driver* should upgrade to FreeBSD 11.3 or 12.0 if
they want to run Linux amd64 OpenGL programs. If you are running an
older version you may want to postpone installing or updating Linux
application ports until you find the time to upgrade because application
ports may install amd64 binaries now. Infrastructure ports are safe to
reinstall, and so is x11/nvidia-driver*.
On i386 nothing has changed.

If you used Samba in AD/DC mode with the previous versions of the port on UFS2
backed storage you have to add usage of vfs_freebsd VFS module for at least
SYSVOL share and configure it to use 'legacy' mode(see manpage).
The reason behind this is that previous versions Samba port used a hack to
workaround broken mapping of Linux security and trusted extended attributes
into FreeBSD namespace. In particular, essential security.NTACL attribute
was replaced with the user.NTACL and placed in a insecure USER namespace.
This port dropped this hack in favor of vfs_freebsd module, which should
provide more controlled way of such a mapping.
To maintain the compatibility with the previous installations on UFS2 storage
(as ZFS uses it's own way of mapping SYSVOL, thanks to the iXsystems patches)
the vfs_freebsd module provides 'legacy' mode that implements old functionality.
For the fresh installations it is recommended to use 'secure' mode of operations
for this module and use it as a global vfs objects.
Caution: The given module is still considered EXPERIMENTAL.

The port of the new version of Samba 4.10 is introduced. Due necessarily
to keep backwards compatibility for the legacy samba4[6-8] ports the
upgrade procedure is a bit convoluted.
You are safe to perform fresh new install of samba410 port. In case you
are upgrading from the previous versions of Samba, please use the
following procedure:
0. Take backups of all the relevant files, in particular PREFIX/etc/smb4.conf
and /var/db/samba4/ subdirectory. Keep in mind that files there (may)
have extended attributes, so use appropriate tools to preserve them.
1a. If you haven't updated Samba between 20190619 and 20190630 then next
step should be as simple as:
portmaster -o net/samba410 net/samba48
1b. If you have been affected by the archiving legacy versions of
Samba-related libraries for legacy versions of Samba, which happened
in the given time frame, then you need to reverse operation from the
20190619 entry:
for users of portmaster:
portmaster -o devel/talloc devel/talloc1
portmaster -o devel/tevent devel/tevent1
portmaster -o databases/tdb databases/tdb1
portmaster -o net/samba410 net/samba48
for users of portupgrade:
portupgrade -o devel/talloc devel/talloc1
portupgrade -o devel/tevent devel/tevent1
portupgrade -o databases/tdb databases/tdb1
portupgrade -o net/samba410 net/samba48
