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.
20230304:
AFFECTS: users of accessibility/atk and accessibilty/at-spi2-atk
AUTHOR: tcberner@FreeBSD.org
The packages accessibility/atk and accessibility/at-spi2-atk have been
integegrated upstream into at-spi2-core.
Users of these packages can manually remove them prior to updating
accessibility/at-spi2-core using
pkg delete -f atk at-spi2-atk
if the pkg update process fails due to conflicting files.
20230227:
AFFECTS: users of databases/sqlite3
AUTHOR: fuz@FreeBSD.org
Option DQS is now disabled by default. This option controls the "double
quoted string literals are accepted" quirk, permitting the use of double
quotes around string literals if enabled. Users who rely on this quirk
need to manually build databases/sqlite3 with the DQS option enabled.
See also: https://sqlite.org/quirks.html#dblquote
20230227:
AFFECTS: users of mail/py-spf-engine
AUTHOR: yasu@FreeBSD.org
Default configuration file path of pyspf-milter has changed. Since
it looks for ${PREFIX}/etc/etc/pyspf-milter/pyspf-milter.conf now,
you should edit the file if you run pyspf-milter. Alternatively you
can specify other configuration file path by setting
pyspf_milter_conffile variable in /etc/rc.conf.
20230222:
AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/netbox
AUTHOR: kai@FreeBSD.org
1. Please make sure that the PostgreSQL server for the NetBox instance is
running version 11 or higher. This is because PostgreSQL 10 is
End-of-Life since November 2022 and Django 4.1 requires PostgreSQL 11
as a minimum.
2. Please also check the pkg-message and the changelogs for further info.
20230218:
AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql57-(server|client)
AUTHOR: joneum@FreeBSD.org
The default MySQL version has been updated from 5.7 to 8.0.
If you compile your own ports you may keep 5.7 as the default version by
adding the following lines to your /etc/make.conf file:
#
# Keep MySQL 5.7 as default version
#
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=mysql=5.7
If you wish to update to the new default version, you need to first stop any
running server instance. Then, you will need to follow these steps, depending
on installed packages.
# pkg set -o databases/mysql57-client:databases/mysql80-client
# pkg set -o databases/mysql57-server:databases/mysql80-server
# pkg upgrade
20230213:
Affects: users of sysutils/nut*
AUTHOR: cy@FreeBSD.org
The nut file ownership fixups due to the UID/GID change from uucp/uucp
to nut/nut may not be desireable for all users. Some users with custom
file ownership may wish ownership to remain untouched. This revision
to the nut family of ports/packages allows users to optionally disable
automatic fixup of nut file ownership.
20230213:
AFFECTS: users of security/logcheck
AUTHOR: yasu@FreeBSD.org
Since 1.4.1 ${PREFIX}/etc/logcheck/logcheck.logfiles is empty and
files to be checked by logcheck are specified in
${PREFIX}/etc/logcheck/logcheck.logfiles.d/syslog.logfiles. So if
you previously edited the former, then you should edit the latter
now.
20230210:
AFFECTS: users of mail/fetchmail
AUTHOR: fernape@FreeBSD.org
Fetchmail now warns about OpenSSL before 1.1.1s or 3.0.7, and rejects wolfSSL
older than 5.5.1.
20230209:
AFFECTS: users of audio/jack
AUTHOR: fernape@FreeBSD.org
audio/jack 1.9.22 fixes an issue with latency correction on FreeBSD.
Latency correction parameters have to be measured again after update.
20230130:
AFFECTS: users of USES=nodejs, www/node*, www/npm* and www/yarn*
AUTHOR: sunpoet@FreeBSD.org
The current USES=nodejs has the following issues:
- www/node is not the default version while www/node16 is.
- It also means inconsistent naming of node ports.
- www/npm duplicates with www/npm-node16.
- www/yarn duplicates with www/yarn-node16.
The notable changes are introduced to fix the above issues:
- Rewrite Mk/Uses/nodejs.mk.
- Add new LTS version of nodejs (www/node18).
- Add new current version of nodejs (www/node19).
- Change default nodejs version from 16 to 18 (latest LTS),
- Use consistent naming for all supported node versions.
- Convert www/node, www/npm and www/yarn to meta ports.
After these changes:
- All supported node versions are named as node{14,16,18,19}.
- www/node is a meta port which depends on the default version
(e.g. www/node18)
- www/npm is a meta port which depends on the default version
(e.g. www/npm-node18)
- www/yarn is a meta port which depends on the default version
(e.g. www/yarn-node18)
20230129:
AFFECTS: users of benchmarks/ddosify
AUTHOR: fernape@freebsd.org
In 0.13.0 some configuration keys have been renamed for consistency. Have a
look at https://github.com/ddosify/ddosify/releases/tag/v0.13.0 for details.
20230127:
AFFECTS: users of security/openvpn
AUTHOR: mandree@freebsd.org
OpenVPN has been updated to the new upstream release v2.6.0, which
is quite compatible with v2.5 versions.
A copy of the latest v2.5.8 port is being kept as security/openvpn25 (or
openvpn25 package) until end of March 2023.
20230116:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/nut and sysutils/nut-devel
AUTHOR: cy@freebsd.org
As of PR/268960 Network UPS Tools will now run under its own UID and GID
instead of uucp. Users who wish to continue using the uucp user and
group may add NUT_USER=uucp and NUT_GROUP=uucp to their make.conf.
After upgrading sysutils/nut or sysutils/nut-devel with this patch,
restart devd. Then restart nut. This will fix up the permissions of
UPS USB devices and allow nut to start normally.
20230111:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/graylog
AUTHOR: dch@freebsd.org
Graylog 5.x and higher effectively constrains ElasticSearch
dependencies, and in most cases will force a migration to
OpenSearch 2.x, now available in ports. Plan accordingly.
20230104:
AFFECTS: users of mail/spamassassin
AUTHOR: cy@freebsd.org
As of spamassassin 4.0.0 (3fdfceb36029) the deprecated HashCash plug-in
was finally removed. Users using the HashCash plug-in will need to
remove references to it.
20221226:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/zrepl
AUTHOR: driesm@FreeBSD.org
The Prometheus metric zrepl_version_daemon has been converted to the
zrepl_start_time metric. The metric still reports the zrepl verison in a
label. But the metric value is now the Unix timestamp at the time the
daemon was started. The Grafana dashboard in dist/grafana has been
updated.
The RPC protocol version has also been bumped; all zrepl daemons in a
setup must be updated and restarted before replication can resume.
20221220:
AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/unbound_exporter
AUTHOR: thomas@beingboiled.info
The config defaults for the log file and certificates have been changed.

AFFECTS: users of security/clamav
AUTHOR: yasu@FreeBSD.org
Many users report that after updating ClamAV to 1.0.0 clamd and
freshclam fails to start with integrity check error of
databases. According to the result of investigation it happens with
following conditions.
1. ClamAV is built on non-cleanroom environment (that is, neither
FreeBSD official ClamAV package is used nor the package is built
by user with poudriere).
2. math/tomsfastmath is installed in the system that ClamAV is
built.
So if the errror happens on you system, uninstall TomsFastMath first
and then rebuild and reinstall ClamAV. The problem should disappear.

AFFECTS: devel/py-proxmoxer
AUTHOR: einar@isnic.is
AuthenticationError Moved
proxmoxer.backends.https.AuthenticationError was moved to
proxmoxer.AuthenticationError (the class itself is the same).
Any imports or references to proxmoxer.backends.https.AuthenticationError
should be changed to proxmoxer.AuthenticationError.
ProxmoxResourceBase Removed
While this should be a fully internal change, the ProxmoxResourceBase
class was removed. Use ProxmoxResource instead.
Removed ProxmoxHTTPTicketAuth
The auth_token and csrf_token arguments are no longer supported. If an
existing (still valid) token needs to be used, you can pass the token
as password and proxmoxer will attempt to renew the ticket and retrieve
a new token and CSRF token.

AFFECTS: users of lang/php80
AUTHOR: bofh@FreeBSD.org
The default version of PHP has been switched from 8.0 to 8.1.
If you use binary packages you should make a list of php packages
before running 'pkg upgrade':
# pkg info \*php80\* > ~/installed-php-ports-list
After the upgrade, check with such list if all your php extensions
are still installed, and reinstall them if needed.
If you use mod_php80 you need to deinstall it and install mod_php81.

AFFECTS: x11-wm/jwm
AUTHOR: fernape@FreeBSD.org
jwm 2.4 introduces changes in the configuration. To convert an existing v2.3
configuration file using xsltproc, run:
cp ~/.jwmrc ~/.jwmrc.old
xsltproc jwm-2.4.xslt ~/.jwmrc.old > ~/.jwmrc
If you have multiple configuration files, it may be necessary to apply the

AFFECTS: users of gstreamer1-* when upgrading via port builds on the host
AUTHOR: riggs@FreeBSD.org
The update of the gstreamer1-* ports to 1.20.3 requires a clean install of
gstreamer1-* ports. In particular, when trying to update ports in-place using
portupgrade or portmaster, the builds are likely to fail due to dependency
mismatches. If this is your preferred update path, you need to deinstall
(pkg delete -f) gstreamer1 and the plugins before reinstalling them from
the ports tree.
Note that pkg upgrade will do the right thing: If you use official FreeBSD
packages or build your own set of packages using poudriere, nothing special
is needed.
20221012:
AFFECTS: devel/websvn
AUTHOR: michael.osipov@siemens.com
WebSVN 2.8.0 includes full PHP 8.x support which requires a change from PEAR
to Composer 2. You must manually install dependencies through it, the ports
system will not handle it anymore for you since */horde* (PR 266552) has been
marked as incompatible with PHP 8.x for the time being. See pkg-message for
detailed instructions.

AFFECTS: users of security/acme.sh
AUTHOR: dvl@FreeBSD.org
This update may break your install if you were using a symlink to
%%EXAMPLESDIR%%/acme.sh.conf - that file is no longer installed. Instead,
a log rotation configuration is now installed to etc/cron.d/acme.sh.sample
you should modify etc/cron.d/acme.sh to needs.
The port now installs a log rotation file to etc/newsyslog.d/acme.sh.sample
and you you should update etc/newsyslog.d/acme.sh to suit your needs.
This file has long been part of the port, but was never installed.
Neither the log rotation nor the crontab are active until you remove the
comments.

AFFECTS: users of shells/bash
AUTHOR: ehaupt@FreeBSD.org
Bash has been updated to version 5.2. In previous versions, the default port
option-set used to link against libreadline from ports. However, the current
version of devel/readline is too old for bash 5.2.
For now, the default option has been switched to use the bundled version of
libreadline and the other option is marked broken. Once devel/readline is
updated this can be reverted.
If you're updating bash from source and you've previously explicitly set to
use use PORTS_READLINE, you'll have to disable the PORTS_READLINE option
before updating:
# cd /usr/ports/shells/bash
# make config
or flush it entirely:

AFFECTS: users of security/libressl
AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org
The port has been updated to the latest stable version 3.5 of LibreSSL.
The shared library versions of the libraries have been bumped.
After upgrading, manually update all packages that depend on any of the
libraries provided by LibreSSL (libssl, libcrypto and libtls) since the
versions of these libraries have changed. Normally, you can obtain the
list of dependent software by running the following command:
# pkg info -r libressl
Then you should rebuild all ports depending on libressl to avoid dangling
shared library dependencies.

AFFECTS: users of editors/vim
AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
The Vim port no longer installs a system-wide vimrc. It drastically affected
config loading order, and led to various settings being clobbered, duplicated,
or ignored.
Vim's provided defaults.vim (/usr/local/share/vim/vim90/defaults.vim) continues
to be read just as before, but its settings are no longer clobbered. Take a look

AFFECTS: users of Erlang and Elixir
AUTHOR: dch@FreeBSD.org
For more than a decade, the Elixir Mix tool and the Erlang rebar
or erlang.mk build tools have been the de facto way of installing
and managing packages for specific applications.
All main-stream applications, from Riak, CouchDB, RabbitMQ, Phoenix,
and Elixir, expect that packages are fetched and compiled into an OTP
Release, with in-built version locking, external package management.
There is no point in maintaining a large number of libraries, that
are used neither for development, nor operations.
Users are directed to https://rebar3.org/ https://erlang.mk/ or
https://elixir-lang.org/getting-started/mix-otp/introduction-to-mix.html
to fetch custom packages.

AFFECTS: users of python
AUTHOR: thierry@FreeBSD.org
The default version of python3 and python was switched to 3.9.
For ports users wanting to keep version 3.8 as default,
add DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= python=3.8 python3=3.8 to make.conf
Following procedures may ease the upgrade:
For users of pre-build packages:
# sh
# for i in $(pkg query -g %n 'py38-*'); do pkg set -yn ${i}:py39-${i#py38-}; done
# pkg upgrade
For portmaster users:
# sh
# portmaster -o lang/python39 python38
# REINSTALL="$(pkg info -o "*py38*" | awk '{printf "%s ", $2}')"
# pkg delete -f "*py38*"
# portmaster $REINSTALL
# REBUILD=$(pkg query -g "%n:%dn" '*' | grep py3 | grep -v py39 | cut -d : -f 1 | sort -u)
# portmaster $REBUILD
# REBUILD2=$(pkg list | grep python-38 | xargs pkg which | awk '{print $6}' | sort -u)
# portmaster $REBUILD2
Final steps (for pre-built packages & portmaster):
If no longer required, Python 3.8 can be removed via
"pkg remove python38" and the directory /usr/local/lib/python3.8 can
then be deleted afterwards, if not empty.

AFFECTS: users of sysutils/fusefs-bindfs
AUTHOR: doralitze@chaotikum.org
Bindfs defaults to use direct I/O since version 1.16. While this results
in major performance improvements as well as several bug fixes, this also
breaks direct legacy calls to mmap. If your application still uses them
consider these two options:
1. Mount using `--no-direct-io`
2. Upgrade your application in order to query mapping guards

AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/netbox
AUTHOR: kai@FreeBSD.org
/!\ WARNING /!\
The NetBox 3.2 release contains major changes, so at least items 1.), 2.)
and 3.) must be checked before proceeding with the upgrade!
/!\ WARNING /!\
1. This release includes a database migration that will remove the "asn",
"contact_name", "contact_phone", and "contact_email" fields from the
site model. (These fields have been superseded by the ASN and contact
models introduced in NetBox v3.1.)
To protect against the accidental destruction of data, the upgrade
process will fail if any sites still have data in any of these fields.
To bypass this safeguard, set the NETBOX_DELETE_LEGACY_DATA environment
variable when running the upgrade script, which will permit the
destruction of legacy data.
A set of migration scripts is available to assist with the migration of
legacy site data:
https://github.com/netbox-community/migration-scripts
2. NetBox v3.2 requires Python 3.8 or later.
3. If the NetBox Plugin "net-mgmt/py-netbox-plugin-extension" is used,
please disable it before the migrations are applied. This can be done
by removing the entry "netbox_plugin_extensions" from the "PLUGINS"
section in the NetBox configuration.
Once the upgrade is done, this port/package can be safely removed as
it's no longer required.
4. Please also check the pkg-message and the changelogs for further info.

As of sysutils/screen-4.9.0_5, the MULTUSER option is default, reverting
to the traditional setuid-root behavior. People who wish to secure their

20220329:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/screen
AUTHOR: cy@FreeBSD.org
As of sysutils/screen-4.9.0_3, the multiuser feature is not supported
by default. The multiuser feature requires setuid root to function.
This creates a security risk. Some Linux distributions have had
non-setuuid root screen for a dozen or more years. FreeBSD is following
suit. A new MULTIUSER option has been added to enable users to install
setuid root screen. The MULTIUSER option default is OFF.
Users who wish to use the multiuser feature may,
- Build screen using the MULTIUSER option, or
- Poudriere users can use poudriere-options to enable the MULTIUSER
option, or
- Users can chmod the setuid bit for ${LOCALBASE}/bin/screen-4.9.0,
making screen setuid root to enable the multiuser feature.

AFFECTS: users of sysutils/intel-pcm-devel
AUTHOR: egypcio@FreeBSD.org
sysutils/intel-pcm-devel became quite obsolete once sysutils/intel-pcm is
now pretty much following a constant and stable update cycle, so users of
the -devel version are encouraged to switch to it.
If you still have sysutils/intel-pcm-devel installed, please delete it from
your system and install sysutils/intel-pcm instead:
# pkg delete sysutils/intel-pcm-devel
# pkg install sysutils/intel-pcm
