These are mostly notes to myself, about what I encounter during attempts to upgrade FreeBSD.

Upgrading FreeBSD 12.x to a Patch Release of the Same Version

Summary

This section contains the sanitized summary of what I would do next time.

for a non-GUI server, edit /etc/make.conf to specify OPTIONS_UNSET+=X11
pkg audit -F to see if there are any current ports that now have known security vulnerabilities
freebsd-update fetch
freebsd-update install
shutdown -r now
pkg audit to check again (don't fetch new database this time)
portsnap fetch update
read /usr/ports/UPDATING for any special notices about non-standard upgrades - look back until date of previous upgrade
portmaster -a -d - this may take a long time since there are often conflicts
freebsd-update install
check for unneeded packages that are no longer depended on by other packages

Extra Notes and To-dos

To approve packages individually, use -i flag of portmaster
To see the names of packages that depend on a particular package, run pkg info -r packagename
To rebuild specified port and all ports depending on it, run portmaster -r portDirPath
See if there is a portmaster command to clean out any old build products/archives, including those archives from older builds, so don't need to agree to that for each build that needs it to be confirmed - try:
- --no-confirm (20201010 - didn't do what I had hoped)
- -d (always clean distfiles) (20210228 - worked - portmaster -a -d updated everything out-of-date without asking me to delete old archives
- [t][-n] --clean-distfiles
- [-t] -y --clean-distfiles
- [-n] --clean-packages
Look for a command to check the installed ports to see if there are any mismatches.

Log

This section shows some of the stumbles I made/encountered in the process of upgrading.

It's good to record all upgrades since that lets me know how far back I need to read in /usr/ports/UPDATING.

This looks wrong - why would X11 be required on a headless server?

Used -i on portmaster to be able to exclude those ports.

See if pixman is the problem.

Built most of this, still need to build pixman due to vulnerability.

Looking for unneeded X libraries. Nothing depends on libXt, so delete it. This allows deletion of libSM, libICE. Also deleted libXext, libXrender, libX11, librsvg2-rust, pango, libXau, libXdmcp, libxshmfence, pixman, libinput.

Retrying upgrade of gohugo from 0.97.3 to 0.107.0. Still a huge number of files that can't download because permission denied.

Upgrade from 13.1-RELEASE-p1 to 13.1-RELEASE-p2 on 20220929 to 20220930

cmake-core conflicts with existing cmake package, so remove existing package and resume with the package list output by portmaster.

gohugo build failed - permission denied errors downloading files. Resuming build with portmaster list excluding gohugo.

graphics/libglvnd needed make deinstall then make reinstall; resuming build with portmaster list excluding gohugo.

Build of qt5-gui can't find libGL.so; why do I need qt5-gui? devel/cmake requires devel/cmake-doc requires qt5-help requires qt5-gui. Removing config for cmake to build docs, keeping man pages.

Deleting all qt5 packages. That didn't help, because they are getting pulled into the subsequent run of portmaster. Exploring to see what's requiring their installation.

Removed python 3.8 package because nothing depends on it.

Try removing packages from the update list to see what's to learn.

Try upgrading packages in portmaster list to eliminate them from consideration.

Upgraded libXft, minixmlto (also installed docbook2mdoc), librsvg2-rust (which upgraded vala), spidermonkey78, vim.

Tried rerunning portmaster -a -d. Only port to be upgraded is www/gohugo from 0.97.3 to 0.104.0; still fails.

Encountered problem with autoconf, so deleted existing package.

Encountered bizarre "dial" problem building gohugo, so trying without three go packages. Ran portmaster using -i argument, then declined gohugo, which maybe got portmaster to automatically decline all upgrades depending on gohugo.

Encountering multiple Python 3.8/3.9 conflicts. Resolving by running pkg delete on conflicting 3.8 packages.

Completed upgrade of all packages but go, gohugo, and 6 py38 packages. Deleting py38 packages that portmaster wanted to upgrade.

Upgraded go; gohugo still has permission denied problems so not spending any more time on it.

Deleted all py38 packages; keeping python38 because 3 packages (gobject-introspection, meson, ninja) depend on it.

Encountering the usual problems downloading; nothing helpful in the FreeBSD forums (somebody else having same problem, getting no useful responses from other forum members). Not all download files are in distcache.FreeBSD.org; none seem to be available from codeload.github.com by the ports downloader, even though I download them from there using a browser on a different computer.

Here's what I typically see:

Same thing as earlier: need to download at least one package file manually, then scp it to the FreeBSD box.

Copied freebsd-pkg-1.17.5_GH0.tar.gz to /usr/ports/distfiles, restarted.

So far, need to download 3 out of 3 archive files for 3 ports.

Not every port archive fails to download; just almost all.

gohugo port is taking forever because of the large number of archives that must be individually downloaded (not all of them, but most).

Upgrade from 13.0-RELEASE-p4 to 13.0-RELEASE-p4 on 20211030

Nothing to do with OS, just with ports. The less time between ports updates, the more likelihood of an easier update process.

On 20210902, editors/vim reworked. vim package now console-only, which is what I want. Also, only python3 bindings, no perl, ruby, python 2.

Ran pkg audit -F, portsnap fetch update, read /usr/ports/UPDATING, running portmaster -a -d.

78 ports to upgrade.

Don't know why count doesn't match.

This is going really smoothly, got to about half way through the ports to rebuild. Failed building gtk3 at #41.

gtk3-3.24.30: Needs cairo with X11 support enabled.

I don't think I want to support X11.

Why do I need gtk? Why do I need cairo?

cairo required by librsvg-rust, pango, vim, gtk3. gtk3 required by vim. vim is not working: ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/libgtk-3.so.0: Undefined symbol "epoxy_glXGetClientString". In addition, vim looks as if it has had a major rework, so I may be able to remove some unnecessary X11 dependencies this way.

Try deleting vim, gtk3 packages. That worked - deleted without conflict.

Try running portmaster on leftover list of ports shown by previous portmaster run, except don't build gtk3.

Working so far; built lib4rsvg2-rust and now working on rust.

Completed; all remaining packages upgraded and vim installed and it now works.

Deleted following packages:

p5-Encode
gsettings-desktop-schemas
adwaita-icon-theme
gtk-update-icon-cache
p5-subversion

Lots of dependencies on this perl. How to remove it without removing dependencies? pkg delete -f perl5-5.28.3_1

Now, the portmaster command seems to get through deciding what to build.

168 ports to install or update.

Can't download curl 7.76.1 xz archive (no path to host), so had to download it from web site and scp it to /usr/ports/distfiles.

Can't download expat-2.4.1.tar.xz from github.com (Permission denied). Able to download it from web browser, so scp'd it to /usr/ports/distfiles.

Can't download Python-3.8.10.tar.xz from www.python.org (No route to host). Downloaded from web browser, scp'd to /usr/ports/distfiles/python/.

Got another "no route to host" error downloading, for setuptools-57.0.0.tar.gz. Ran host for the machine; got IP from it. Ran ping to the machine; got response from it. How can there be no route to it?

Tried again after host/ping - same error. Downloaded, scp'd, moved to /usr/ports/distfiles/python.

Can't download Babel-2.9.1.tar.gz from files.pythonhosted.org; did same thing as above for python files, except doesn't need to go in python subdirectory. Some earlier step is deleting the archive file; try running without -d flag.

Worked around it by control-Z out of portmaster when waiting for y/n prompt, recopy archive file, resume portmaster process.

Needed pytz-2021.1.tar.gz, had to download and scp it.

Continued running, still need Babel-2.9.1.tar.gz for later step that depends on py-Babel.

Resumed after copying Babel archive as above, now need the pytz file again.

Now see:

Had to run pkg delete py37-pygments-2.7.2, then rerun portmaster.

Now need py38-snowballstemmer-2.1.0.

Next need Cython-0.29.23.tar.gz from files.pythonhosted.org.

pkg delete py37-cython-0.29.21

Download py38-pystemmer-2.0.1 from files.pythonhosted.org.

Next need requests-2.25.1.tar.gz from files.pythonhosted.org.

Saw article on today's Internet outage. Fastly had a failure. Fastly is hosting at least some of these computers, such as files.pythonhosted.org.

Upgrade from 12.1 to 12.2 from 20201221 to 20201222

First, did a patch upgrade of 12.1. freebsd-update fetch install, reboot, pkg audit went smoothly. portsnap fetch update went smoothly. portmaster -a failed due to conflict.

Worked around this for awhile by running the generated update command while excluding mesa-libs and py-mako.

Performed web search for freebsd error code 70 registering installation. Answer found in FreeBSD forum topic py-markupsafe reinstallation error code 70.

If you are getting an error with code 70 while trying to update the py-markupsafe port, the reason could be a recent change in the portname (revision 557064). This has the effect that a make deinstall won't find the right port any more. To work around, you have to make sure to deinstall the py37-MarkupSafe (camel case) port first, before you install the py37-markupsafe (lower case) port. The standard make deinstall would try to deinstall the lower-case portname which isn't there (yet) and the following install fails because the new and old port versions collide.

and:

Use pkg-delete(8) to delete the package with the old name. Which is what a make deinstall ultimately does.

Did that, reran the remaining build command, and upgrade complete.

Next, upgraded to 12.2 by running # freebsd-update -r 12.2-RELEASE upgrade. The last output of each of the commands told me what command to execute next, which was reassuring. Ran pkg-static upgrade -f but it wanted to roll back some of my ports to earlier versions, so declined. Ran portsnap fetch update, then portmaster -a to update 4 ports.

Upgrade on 20190526

Developed set of instructions based on what I learned here:

pkg audit -F to see if there are any current ports that now have known security vulnerabilities
freebsd-update fetch
freebsd-update install
shutdown -r now
pkg audit to check again (don't fetch new database this time)
pkg-static upgrade
portsnap fetch update
portmaster -a

Running pkg audit -F, freebsd-update, and shutdown -r now

pkg audit -F showed 7 vulnerable packages.

On rebooting after the shutdown, got lots of Controller Timeout messages before finally booted:

Running pkg-static upgrade

pkg-static upgrade failed:

[1/57] Installing polkit-0.114_2...
===> Creating groups.

===> Creating users

pkg-static: PRE-INSTALL script failed

pkg upgrade failed in same way.

Tried rerunning pkg audit - still have 4 vulnerable packages.

Running portsnap

Tried running portsnap fetch update - succeeded

Running portmaster

Tried running portmaster -a. Got some errors, my guess from me running pkg-static upgrade.

Rerun portmaster -a; get same error for that port.

See this warning message:

WITHOUT_X11 is unsupported, use WITHOUT=X11 on the command line, or one of
these in /etc/make.conf, OPTIONS_UNSET+=X11 to set it globally, or
x11-toolkits_pango_UNSET+=X11 for only this port.

Edited /etc/make.conf to remove WITHOUT_X11 line, and add line with OPTIONS_UNSET+=X11.

Rerun portmaster -a; get same error for that port.

Ran pkg delete x11-toolkits/pango; succeeded, deleting 3 packages:

pango-1.42.4_1
gtk-update-icon-cache-2.24.32
gtk2-2.24.32

Rerun portmaster -a; reports all ports up to date.

Made notes to set OPTIONS_UNSET+=X11 in future when setting up non-GUI server.

Upgrading FreeBSD 11.0 to 12.0, or from 12.1 to 12.2, or any point release upgrade

Summary

This section contains the sanitized summary of what I would do next time.

for a non-GUI server, edit /etc/make.conf to specify OPTIONS_UNSET+=X11
pkg audit -F to see if there are any current ports that now have known security vulnerabilities
freebsd-update -r RELEASENAME upgrade where RELEASENAME is a value such as 12.0-RELEASE
freebsd-update install
shutdown -r now
freebsd-update install
pkg-static upgrade -f
pkg audit to see if there are any current ports that now have known security vulnerabilities (don't fetch new database this time)
portsnap fetch update if need to collect any fixes to vulnerable ports
read /usr/ports/UPDATING for any special notices about non-standard upgrades
portmaster -af -d - this may take a long time since there are often conflicts
freebsd-update install

Resolving conflicts/problems Updating Ports

Some stuff to try:

remove packages that aren't depended on by any other package - run pkg info -r package_name to find out about an individual package
for a headless server, ensure that make config for ports don't require X11

Log

This section shows all the stumbles I made/encountered in the process of upgrading.

Upgrade from 13.0-RELEASE-p8 to 13.1-RELEASE from 20220520 to 20220521

Reading /usr/ports/UPDATING, see that ruby updated from 2.7 to 3.0. Notes at entry 20190420 in that file state (paraphrased for this update):

If you use portmaster, install new ruby, then rebuild all ports that depend on ruby:

# portmaster -o lang/ruby30 lang/ruby27

# portmaster -R -r ruby-3.0

Ended up not needing to do this; portmaster upgraded to ruby 3.0 without special attention.

graphics/freeglut build failed because libGL.so not found. Skipping it for now; resuming without -R option.

Restarted twice due to undownloadable source archives.

Not going to specify the force argument on any future runs for this update.

Keeps failing to download a file I can easily download on main computer.

Can't connect to another computer via ssh, which I recall the hint to reboot computer before connecting (although I've got an existing SSH connection that stayed up).

Running freebsd-update install, but no additional work done. Rebooting.

After reboot, able to scp files between computers.

Rust build deletes the archive file I just copied, so had to go to lang/rust and run make install.

Building devel/rust-cbindgen via make install since can't download archives.

After rust-cbindgen, ran portmaster -a to build 6 ports; completed without error.

12.2 to 13.0p4, ended on 20210828

Using current recipe developed during previous upgrades.

No current ports with known security vulnerabilities, probably since I had updated 12.2 recently.

46,400+ patches, 13,501 files.

Ran freebsd-update -r 13.0-RELEASE upgrade, freebsd-update install, shutdown -r now, freebsd-update install with expected result.

Ran pkg-static upgrade -f, and saw following in beginning of output:

pkg-static: Warning: Major OS version upgrade detected. Running "pkg bootstrap -f" recommended

Not sure if should do this instead, or before, the pkg-static command.

Man page on pkg says:

bootstrap
This is for compatibility with the pkg(7) bootstrapper. If pkg
is already installed, nothing is done.

If invoked with the -f flag an attempt will be made to reinstall
pkg from remote repository.

pkg is already installed. I will do this before since this warning appears before committing to the pkg-static upgrade operation.

Seemed to succeed with some notices about specific ports, mostly to say that there is no maintainer for some of the ports.

Ran pkg audit - pkg-static had downgraded the ruby package among others, so warned about ruby.

Ran portsnap fetch update command - seemed to run successfully without downloading much, maybe due to my recent point release update.

Searched web for pkg-static unable to access file cairo-glx.pc found 257091 - graphics/cairo: cairo-1.17.4 failed to build.

It said:
the pkg-plist entry check
%%OPENGL%%%%X11%%libdata/pkgconfig/cairo-glx.pc
fails because you have X11 on for graphics/cairo, but cairo-glx.pc
does not build. In most cases, this is caused by a GL provider
(libglvnd and/or mesa-*) built without X11. Ports framework doesn't
check the required provider OPTIONS for consumers.

What are you trying to achieve, a headless server or a desktop?

Since I'm trying to achieve a headless server, and am trying to not build anything with X11, I changed directory to /usr/ports/graphics/cairo, ran make config and deselected the X11 X11 (graphics) support choice, then ran make clean then make install, which completed successfully.

I lost the temp file that had the continuation command, and the make config command overwrote the continuation command in stdout, so I started from beginning with portmaster except without -G flag.

portmaster asked me the same two questions as before, as well as confirmation for the reinstalls etc. to be done; I answered them the same way. I also kept default configs for the remaining ports that asked.

portmaster run failed

Ran make config on x11-toolkits/gtk30. Deselect the X11 GDK X11 backend option. Ran make clean install on it; still failed. Maybe don't need it. What depends on it?

pkg info -r package_name shows list of packages that require this package. pkg info -d package_name shows list of packages on which this package depends.

vim depends on it, and I want vim.

vim's config shows it isn't dependent on x11 - it uses console only.

Running the above portmaster command resulted in

libglvnd at graphics/libglvnd

Check config for libglvnd - X11 graphics support is disabled already.

Deinstalled and reinstalled; resuming portmaster.

Over 100 ports to rebuild, including the libglvnd port. If this stops again, I may run separate builds for the remaining ports.

Stopped for same reason. Reconfig graphics/freeglut to not try to make examples, since those may pull in graphics I don't want. Running make install on graphics/freeglut gets to the same block, though.

Tried looking at dependencies on packages by pkg info -r packagename. Found freeglut isn't depended on by any other package, so deleted it.

Rerunning portmaster -f -d with the previous port list, except excluding graphics/freeglut, and now it wants to build a lot fewer ports:

Re-install libglvnd-1.3.3
Re-install meson-0.58.1
Re-install ninja-1.10.2,2
Re-install python38-3.8.11
Re-install gettext-runtime-0.21
Re-install libiconv-1.16
Re-install pkg-1.17.1

Re-install readline-8.1.1
Re-install mpdecimal-2.5.1
Re-install gmake-4.3_2
Re-install py38-setuptools-57.0.0

meson depends on libglvnd, so looks like I'm stuck, unless I analyze meson for dependencies. meson is a build system, so should be OK. make config shows no options to configure.

Running it anyway - it is working well. It completed without error.

Ran freebsd-update install and I am done.

11.0 to 12.0

Based on instructions in the FreeBSD Handbook, here's the steps I'm taking:

freebsd-update -r 12.0-RELEASE upgrade
freebsd-update install
shutdown -r now
freebsd-update install
pkg-static upgrade -f
portmaster -af
freebsd-update install

I had to modify what I did based on what I found during the process. When I ran pkg-static upgrade -f, it generated a message recommending that I run pkg-static install -f pkg due to a major OS version upgrade detected, so I stopped the run and ran the program as suggested. When I then ran portmaster -af, the run failed because devel/cmake-modules had been deleted and merged into devel/cmake. I tried running portmaster -a, which resulted in devel/cmake-modules appearing in the list of ports to be deleted, and devel/cmake appearing in the list of ports to be upgraded, which seemed good. The command completed, and I ran the last freebsd-update command to complete the set of commands.

Reran portmaster -af to see if I could rebuild everything. One nice enhancement is that config options for all packages are presented at the start of the operation, so they can be all answered separately from the build process, so the build process doesn't get stopped in the middle by having to answer config questions.

Unfortunately, there are lots of blocking messages asking if I want to delete old archive files, which has a similar effect.

The run failed because openjpeg-2.3.0_2 has security vulnerabilities. /tmp/portmaster.fail has the command line command that will resume the rebuild.

Review vulnerabilities in ports by running pkg audit -F.

OpenJPEG got fixed on 20190105, so resuming. /tmp/portmaster.fail has <flags> instead of the needed flags. I only used -af for flags, so maybe doesn't need any (or just -f). Running - working so far. Asked to confirm the changes, then builds as specified. However, I needed to update the ports tree first.

Trying pkg-static upgrade -f which has new packages, but maybe isn't what I want. Next, try portsnap fetch update Next, rerun the command saved in /tmp/portmaster.fail, using the -f flag.

Failed due to:

Installing check-0.12.0_1...

pkg-static: check-0.12.0_1 conflicts with libcheck-0.10.0 (installs files into the same place). Problematic file: /usr/local/bin/checkmk

*** Error code 70

Run pkg delete libcheck-0.10.0.

Then, rerun the command saved in /tmp/portmaster.fail, using the -f flag. This completed.

Next, run freebsd-update install.

At the end of this, see if there is a portmaster command to clean out any old build products, including those archives from older builds. Also, look for a command to check the installed ports to see if there are any mismatches.

Need to read /usr/ports/UPDATING after updating the ports tree and before rebuilding ports.

Warning: Old Stuff Ahead

The following sections are pretty old (for 4.x to 7.x releases).

Dancing Kayak - FreeBSD - Full Release and Security Upgrade

Security Upgrade

Here's what to do to upgrade an existing FreeBSD installation to the latest security release of that same version.

Preparation

Understand which value you will pass to the -j option in make. -j4 is good for a single CPU. -j6 to -j10 is good for multiple CPUs.
Prepare /etc/make.conf as follows
- Set CPUTYPE variable to specify the machine's CPU.
- Set KERNCONF to the name of the kernel configuration file (this is often the same name as the machine). This step is optional since you can set this value on the command line during the upgrade.
install the sysutils/fastest_cvsup port - this requires the devel/p5-Time-HiRes port.
run fastest_cvsup with the appropriate arguments to find out which is the cvsup server with the shortest response time. For me, the command line is # fastest_cvsup -c us
copy stable-supfile and ports-supfile from /usr/share/examples/cvsup to /usr/src
mkdir /usr/sup
copy /usr/share/examples/cvsup/refuse to /usr/sup
edit refuse to remove sendmail file reference since haven't configured it yet
cd /usr/src
mv stable-supfile security-supfile
edit security-supfile as follows
- s/stable/security/
- tag=RELENG_#_#, where #_# is the release number of your release (e.g., 4_9).
- set host to cvsup#.us.freebsd.org, where # is a number from 1 to 18 (as of February 2004) that references the cvsup site you identified when running fastest_cvsup.
Put the security-supfile under source code control, e.g., mkdir RCS; ci -u security-supfile - I have started a practice of storing OS and port upgrade supfiles within the root user's home directory (specifically, /root/supfiles) so that I keep personal configuration files in a directory I'm more likely to back up.

Upgrade Installation

perform backups, especially of /etc
cvsup security-supfile - if you are running X, the gui client will appear; click the green arrowhead at the lower left to start the process, and close the window once the process completes
look at /usr/src/UPDATING
check GENERIC, LINT for changes and integrate them into the configuration file for your machine as needed
cd /usr/src; make buildworld - can use the -j6 flag on dual-processor machine - a build of 4.x takes about 2 hours on dual PPro200, about 90 minutes on dual P3/450 - builds of 5.x and 6.0 take (a rough guess) at least twice as long
make buildkernel [KERNCONF=filename] to build the kernel; the KERNCONF setting is optional if you have already put a value for this in /etc/make.conf. This takes about 10-20 minutes (for 4.x) and (rough guess) an hour (5.x, 6.0) on the previously-mentioned machines.
make installkernel [KERNCONF=filename] takes about a minute
reboot
check out the system for basic sanity. If the upgrade has changed sizes of kernel structures, you may get weird behavior doing stuff like ps.
go to single-user mode by shutdown now
run mergemaster -p to do a merge before running make installworld
cd /usr/src; make installworld - takes about 4 minutes.
Run mergemaster to review and choose changes to configuration files in /etc. Don't proceed without this step, even though you likely will want to decline some of the changes it points out. For example, I always decline the change to /etc/motd because the build entered the correct FreeBSD version information into that file, and the generic one does not have that information.
reboot
check SCSI devices - you may have to run MAKEDEV

Upgrading to the Latest Full Release

Upgrading to the latest full release (e.g., upgrading to 4.9 from 4.8) is similar to upgrading to a security release, but you will want to upgrade the ports tree by ensuring the appropriate lines exist in the upgrade supfile.

After upgrading the machine as instructed above, complete the update of the ports tree as stated in the section entitled After Upgrading the Ports Tree

If, instead, you updated your ports tree before updating source, building, and installing a major version upgrade to the operating system, (e.g., from 4.x to 5.x or from 5.x to 6.x) you will need to rebuild the ports indexes as specified below, since the name of the ports database file differs among major version numbers.

Notes on Upgrading 4.x to 5.x

This was a more complicated upgrade. Instead of performing a source code upgrade like for minor version number releases and security updates, I had to install 5.x from scratch (a clean install) and then restore my data from backups.

Notes on Upgrading 5.x to 6.x

6.x uses SHA256 as well as MD5 to validate the integrity of source code archives downloaded when building a port.

This was an easy upgrade, just like a minor version or security upgrade. There was no need to install from scratch and restore data from backups, like I had to do when upgrading 4.10 to 5.x.

Notes on Upgrading 6.3 to 7.0

Root Partition Size

I had made a 256 MB root partition - that size served me well for 4.x, 5.x, and 6.x. When I built 7.0 and tried to install it, it filled up the root partition. Here are various hints to reduce size:

comment out the line makeoptions DEBUG=-g so that the debug versions of kernel objects won't be installed
I have the original kernel from my 6.0 installation on my root partition, so I will move that to another partition
add STRIP = -s in /etc/make.conf
remove from the kernel configuration file any devices I don't need

Next time I build a FreeBSD box, it will have a 1 GB root partition now that disk is cheap.

Ports Upgrade

To do this right, run the following command:

portupgrade -afR

FreeBSD 7.0 uses version 4 of the GNU compiler collection; FreeBSD 6.x uses version 3 of GCC. This means that every port must be rebuilt (actually, every port that uses that compiler to produce binaries or shared libraries, but not many of us want to spend the time to track that as opposed to having the ease-of-use of a single upgrade command. GCC version 4 uses different shared library numbers than does GCC version 3.

That said, I didn't do it that way! Since I had so many old ports to upgrade, I did portupgrade -aR. I regret it somewhat because I later had to:

go through /usr/local/lib and look at the build dates of the shared libraries
run pkg_info -W /usr/local/lib/sharedlibname to find out what port had installed that library
run portupgrade -f thePortName to rebuild the port

However, I discovered aspects of my ports dependencies that might not have been upgraded even if I had done it the correct way. I had to rebuild the devel/gvfs port with CDDB support disabled so that libgnomeui would not depend on it, in order to get libgnomeui to build. I also had to hack into the tests for GraphicsMagick and disable the exceptions and attributes tests in order for the port to build and install. These tests in the GraphicsMagick port would fault and exit the program when an exception was thrown. I'll have to work on this later, now that I have my computer in a usable state again.

Updating the Ports Tree

Updating the ports tree is useful to keep up on the latest versions of third-party software.

Do not remove the following directories in /usr/ports, or any other directories there - I tried this to save space in /usr/ports, but this resulted in a broken make index result because other directories have dependencies within these directories

chinese
japanese
korean
ukrainian

Here's how to update the ports tree

portinstall -R portsnap
portsnap fetch extract - read the man page - if you have any files within /usr/ports that you modified or created copy them elsewhere before running this command because this command will delete them (this doesn't apply to files within /usr/ports/distfiles)

Here's a much slower but still proper way to update the ports tree

edit ports-supfile as follows
- ensure the value for the tag parameter is . - find and heed the warning in the file about setting the value of tag
- Modify the host parameter to reference the best cvsup server for you (just like you did for the security-supfile above) as the value for the host parameter (or you can use the -h argument for cvsup to override what's in the ports-supfile)
Put the ports-supfile under source code control, e.g., mkdir RCS; ci -u ports-supfile
cvsup [-h cvsup??.??.freebsd.org ] ports-supfile

After Updating the Ports Tree

Follow these instructions after updating the ports tree (either directly or as part of an operating system version upgrade) to complete the update of the ports tree.

portsnap fetch update

If you used the much slower way above, do the following:

cd /usr/ports
portsdb -Uu - this rebuilds necessary indexes
make readmes

You can also use the command make index && make readmes this takes a long time, but don't use the -j argument for make index - you can use the -j argument for make readmes since this part is amenable to parallel processing

Upgrading a Port

The big hint here is to use portupgrade to help you upgrade (and possibly portinstall to help you install something new). Otherwise, make install clean will often get you what you want, unless there are conflicts (which portupgrade will often resolve.

Run pkgdb -F after you run portupgrade or portinstall, (or if you can't run these programs because of inconsistencies in the index used by these programs).

Warnings

Read the following files in /usr/ports for special instructions and notes before building or upgrading a port. These files contain information you need in order to upgrade certain ports.

CHANGES
MOVED
UPDATING

You can also read /usr/ports/LEGAL and /usr/ports/README(.html) if you are so inclined.

Apparently sometimes you will have to watch out for cases where a recent upgrade in a port is dependent on something that's in the STABLE or CURRENT branch.

Read the release notes for the FreeBSD ports of GNOME and KDE before upgrading either of these meta-ports

Upgrading KDE from 3.1.4 to 3.2

Here's what I did (the first steps enable portupgrade to work automatically - see FreeBSD KDE page for why:

# pkg_delete kdebase-3.1.4
# pkg_delete kdenetwork-3.1.4
# pkgdb -F (answer yes to fixing up dependencies for the packages deleted in the previous two steps)
# portupgrade -R kde (I had to restart this because one of the fetches failed - I had to manually download the archive being fetched before restarting)
# pkgdb -F (detected nothing to fix)

Upgrading KDE from 3.2.1 to 3.2.3

This upgrade was lengthy (about 3 days), but had no problems. A simple portupgrade -R x11/kde3 did it.

Upgrading Gnome from 2.4 to 2.6

There is an FAQ and a shell script pointed at by the FreeBSD Gnome Project that you must follow when upgrading. Even with all that help, my upgrade broke. The problems related to step 4, which performs an upward-recursive portupgrade of glib2*; there were some dependent ports whose upgrade required a downward-recursive upgrade of other ports on which they depended.

gstreamer-plugins required an upgrade of libmusicbrainz
sdl12-plugins required an upgrade of nas

Also, the upgrade of one port left a patch file in the files subdirectory, but the file had been obsoleted and was in the Attic subdirectory.

Here are the steps I took and what happened. All of the below is done as root

copy the upgrade script from FreeBSD Gnome project (downloaded as a non-root user) to /root
cd /usr/src
cvsup ports-supfile
cd /usr/ports
make index && make -j4 readmes
cd /root
sh ./gnome_upgrade.sh - this failed after about a day and a half because of a single reason: what apparently is a bad patch in multimedia/gstreamer-plugins. There is a patch at files/patch-gst-libs_ext_ffmpeg_ffmpeg_libavcodec_alpha_simple_i that apparently doesn't correspond to any source file.
cd /usr/ports/multimedia/gstreamer-plugins
mv files/patch-gst-libs_ext_ffmpeg_ffmpeg_libavcodec_alpha_simple_i .
portupgrade gstreamer-plugins - this failed because libmusicbrainz needed to be upgraded and I didn't use the -R flag to upgrade ports on which gstreamer-plugins depends
portupgrade -wR gstreamer-plugins - this failed because the upgrade to libmusicbrainz wouldn't upgrade even with the correct flags, making me doubt that I entered the correct flags!
portupgrade -wR libmusicbrainz - this succeeded
portupgrade -wR gstreamer-plugins - this succeeded
cd /root
sh ./gnome_upgrade.sh - this is going through another day-and-a-half, because step 4 in the script is a huge portupgrade -r -f glib2* forced upward-recursive upgrade (forced rebuild of glib2* and everything that depends on it) which rebuilds just about everything on my machine including evolution, firefox, and KDE. This succeeded.

I also upgraded my work machine, and I had to manually update the port nas because an upgraded version was required by the port sdl12 as well as manually updating the libmusicbrainz port (although without having to do a downward-recursive update). I also had some problems with upgrading KDE to 3.2.1, but that is not relevant to the Gnome upgrade discussed here except that the KDE upgrade was a consequence of the upward-recursive Gnome upgrade.

Upgrading GNOME from 2.6 to 2.6.2

This upgrade was lengthy and also went smoothly, but broke some additional functionality. When launching GNOME after the upgrade, I got a number of error messages including for the clock display. This resulted in some missing items in the task bars, including the clock. When launching Evolution, I got four error messages involving CORBA of the following format:

Cannot active component DAFIID: GNOME_Evolution_Mail_Shellcomponent INV_OBJREF:1.0

The other three messages involved components with similar names, substituting Addressbook, Calendar, and Summary for Mail.

Rebuilding Evolution was no help. Killing the wombat server and the timer server did not help. What helped was killing the bonobo_activation_server, which apparently is a CORBA server, and restarting Evolution. Since the libbonobo package was apparently upgraded to 2.6.2 as part of the GNOME upgrade, it's likely I needed a new server instance.

Upgrading GNOME from 2.6.2 to 2.8 and KDE from 3.2.3 to 3.3.1

On November 18, 2004, I decided to upgrade the X desktops of my workstation. This includes upgrading GNOME, KDE, and windowmaker, as well as X. Here's what I had to do to complete the job.

portupgrade -R x11/XFree86-4 - this went smoothly
portupgrade -R x11-wm/windowmaker - this went smoothly
download the GNOME 2.6 to 2.8 upgrade script - ok
run the GNOME 2.6 to 2.8 upgrade script - failures as follows:
- My system didn't have devel/desktop=file-utils 0.9 and I couldn't build it because I couldn't download the source because the freedesktop.org web site was being rebuilt after suffering a hack. The latest version of devel/desktop-file-utils/Makefile has an alternate download location (www.marcuscom.com), but I didn't have that Makefile in my ports tree because it had been checked in just a couple of days prior, and I had updated my ports tree earlier than that. That resulted in a number of ports building but not installing, including
  - games/gnomegames2
  - editors/gedit2
  - graphics/eog2
  - mail/evolution
  - graphics/gpdf
  - archivers/fileroller
  - print/ggv2
- x11-fm/nautilus2 failed to build due to an error detected by the compiler in the source code: nautilus-image-properties-view.c:134: macro 'exif_content_get_value' used with too many (4) args
- x11/screensaver-kde failed to install due to an installed package conflict (kdepim-3.2.3_1), for which the likely solution was to upgrade KDE.
- www/mozilla failed to build due to "fetch: libart_lgpl.tar.bz2: local modification time does not match remote"
- other downstream errors caused by the above errors
I downloaded the devel/desktop-file-utils source code from www.marcuscom.com and saved it in /usr/ports/distfiles. I did this during the late portion of the above GNOME upgrade script run, so that my list of failed installs above may not be a complete list of all the installs that would fail.
portupgrade --noclean games/gnomegames2 to resolve the missing devel/desktop-file-utils port source
portupgrade --noclean editors/gedit2 to resolve the missing devel/desktop-file-utils port source
portupgrade --noclean graphics/eog2 to resolve the missing devel/desktop-file-utils port source
portupgrade --noclean mail/evolution to resolve the missing devel/desktop-file-utils port source
portupgrade --noclean graphics/gpdf to resolve the missing devel/desktop-file-utils port source
portupgrade --noclean archivers/fileroller to resolve the missing devel/desktop-file-utils port source
portupgrade --noclean print/ggv2 to resolve the missing devel/desktop-file-utils port source
portupgrade -R x11/kde to resolve the conflicts encountered updating KDE as part of the GNOME upgrade - this hung building graphics/sane-backends because the build presented the configuration screen, and I was redirecting stdout to a file, and I wasn't running the command with the batch-mode flag
portupgrade graphics/sane-backends
portupgrade -R x11/kde3 - upgrading x11-toolkits/open-motif from 2.2.2_2 to 2.3 failed because I have portaudit installed and 2.3 has a security problem (2.4 doesn't but it isn't in the ports tree that I have, and the FreeBSD ports system has 2.3 as of 7:30 AM PT November 21, 2004)
Rerun the GNOME upgrade script, adding the -restart argument
pkg_delete kdeutils-3.2.3_1 because kdebase-3.3.1 installs files into the same place
portupgrade --noclean kdeutils to install the built kdebase
Rerun the GNOME upgrade script, adding the -restart argument
Rename /usr/ports/distfiles/libart_lgpl.tar.bz2 to libart_lgpl.tar.bz2.old to attempt to resolve a checksum mismatch and local modification time does not match remote error on this file
Rerun the GNOME upgrade script, adding the -restart argument. This time it completed step 4 and partially completed step 5 (reinstalled gdesklets and gnomeapplets2, failing reinstallation of gnome2). The gnome2 build failed building ximian-connector-setup-2.0.2 for port mail/ximian-connector-setup. The error messages included
- libexchange.a(e2k-kerberos.o): In function 'e2k_kerberos_change_password':
- e2k-kerberos.o(.text+0x231): undefined reference to 'krb5_free_data_contents'
- e2k-kerberos.o(.text+0x241): undefined reference to 'krb5_free_data_contents'
- gmake[3]: *** [cptest] Error 1
- gmake[3]: Leaving directory '/usr/ports/mail/ximian-connector/work/ximian-connector-2.0.2/lib'
Give up on GNOME upgrade for awhile (maybe I have to update security/krb5, which isn't installed on my system) and focus on KDE.
portupgrade -R -x x11-toolkits/open-motif x11/kde3 - excluding open-motif because a version without the security hole is not yet in the ports tree. This succeeded.
Run pkgdb -F three times to remove old versions of autoconf and automake.
portupgrade kdegraphics-kamera kdegraphics-kooka kdegraphics-kuickshow
portupgrade x11-clocks/kdetoys
pkg_delete -f kdeaddons-kontact-plugins-3.2.3
pkgdb -F to remove obsolete links between the kontact plugin and other ports
portupgrade -R -x x11-toolkits/open-motif misc/kdeaddons3 - excluding open-motif because a version without the security hole is not yet in the ports tree. This succeeded.
pkgdb -F just to check
portupgrade -R -x x11-toolkits/open-motif kdebase-konqueror-nsplugins-3.2.3 kdeutils-klaptopdaemon-3.2.3 kdemultimedia-mpeglib_artsplugin-3.2.3
At this point, KDE works, so I'm taking a break after a few days of console-only operation
Back to GNOME - install security/krb5 in hopes of resolving the missing function for the gnome2 portupgrade
Run portupgrade -f -m "GNOME_UPGRADE_SH_VER=280" -O gnome2 to manually resume step 5 of the GNOME upgrade script. This succeeded, building the ximian-connector-setup port without error.
Run portupgrade -f -m "GNOME_UPGRADE_SH_VER=280" -O gnomevfs2 to manually resume step 5 of the GNOME upgrade script.
Run portupgrade -f -m "GNOME_UPGRADE_SH_VER=280" -O libgnome to manually resume step 5 of the GNOME upgrade script.
Run portupgrade -f -m "GNOME_UPGRADE_SH_VER=280" -O gconf-editor to manually resume step 5 of the GNOME upgrade script.
Try it out - seems to work

At the end, upgrading KDE adds fonts to the system, so

add the font path /usr/local/share/fonts to the XF86Config file, either in /etc/X11 or /usr/X11R6/lib/X11
to make the path known to fontconfig, add the line <dir>/usr/local/share/fonts</dir> to either /usr/X11R6/etc/fonts/local.conf or ~/.fonts.conf and running fc-cache -f (as root if you edited local.conf)

Upgrading GNOME applications from 2.10 to 2.12

Due to the changes in gnomehier, I followed the instructions in the entry dated 20071024 in /usr/ports/UPDATING, namely:

forcing the package database to be consistent (pkgdb -Ff) - I had to force the deinstall of old automake and autoconf because of duplicate entries in the package database.
portupgrade -f -o textproc/rarian textproc/scrollkeeper - this was easy and quick
portupgrade -a - this took a day and a half. I did the fetch of all archives first, then did the build. The build of multimedia/kdemultimedia3 failed during installation due to a known problem with the path_dps.m4 file (the location is obvious from the build errors); I had to deinstall the x11/dgs (display ghostscript system) package; no package was depending on that package, so that made it easy. Then, I resumed the build of kdemultimedia with the -w option to skip the clean before build to save all the work.
