Please, use new RSS feeds for FreeBSD UPDATING files.

AFFECTS: users of comms/smstools3

Fri, 21 Nov 2008 00:00:00 GMT

The startup script of comms/smstools3 has changed. For increased security 
smstools now runs as user uucp / group dialer by default. The script 
commands like sendsms etc. should be executed as user uucp.
To restore the old behaviour, set smsd_user="root" and smsd_group="wheel"
in your /etc/rc.conf. 
Hint: use security/sudo for running smsd scripts as user uucp

AFFECTS: users of editors/tamago

Sat, 08 Nov 2008 00:00:00 GMT

The Wnn backend of editors/tamago port now uses unix domain socket
to communicate the server by default.  If $[CJKT]SERVER environment
variable is defined, the value is used as the server host name.  In
JSERVER case, for example, the server name is determined in the
following way:
 
$JSERVER --(if null)--> wnn-jserver --(if null)--> "unix"
 
If the server host name is null or matches "^unix$", unix domain
socket is used.  The path name of the socket can be specified in
wnn-[cjkt]udpath custom variable.

Please, use
http://download.pluxml.org/plugins/migration-blog-beta3x-beta4.zip to
migrate. It's strongly advised to backup your blog before updating.

AFFECTS: users of devel/git

Sun, 02 Nov 2008 00:00:00 GMT

The location of git-shell has changed to
${PREFIX}/libexec/git-core/git-shell.  Please remove the old entry from
/etc/shells.

AFFECTS: users of japanese/FreeWnn-server

Thu, 30 Oct 2008 00:00:00 GMT

The jserver daemon in japanese/FreeWnn-server port now uses "127.0.0.1"
as the default listen address for security reason.  If you need
the wildcard address (INADDR_ANY), you have to explicitly set
"listenaddr" to 0.0.0.0 in ${PREFIX}/lib/wnn/ja_JP/jserverrc or
add "-a 0.0.0.0" to ${wnn_flags} in /etc/rc.conf.

AFFECTS: users of www/asterisk-gui

Sun, 26 Oct 2008 00:00:00 GMT

The upgrade to version 2.0 will modify your asterisk dialplan when login
to the page. Hardware autodetection will not work, pending update of
misc/zaptel.

AFFECTS: users of www/codeigniter

Tue, 28 Oct 2008 00:00:00 GMT

For certain installations, the following steps should be performed
after the CodeIgniter 1.7.0 upgrade (taken from:
http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/installation/upgrade_170.html).

>>> Update your Session Table

If you are using the Session class in your application, AND if you
are storing session data to a database, you must add a new column
named user_data to your session table. Here is an example of what
this column might look like for MySQL:

  user_data text NOT NULL

To add this column you will run a query similar to this:

  ALTER TABLE `ci_sessions` ADD `user_data` text NOT NULL

You'll find more information regarding the new Session functionality
in the Session class page:

  http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/sessions.html

>>> Update your Validation Syntax

This is an optional, but recommended step, for people currently
using the Validation class. CI 1.7 introduces a new Form Validation
class (http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/form_validation.html)
which deprecates the old Validation library. We have left the old one
in place so that existing applications that use it will not break, but
you are encouraged to migrate to the new version as soon as possible.
Please read the user guide carefully as the new library works a little
differently, and has several new features.

AFFECTS: users of japanese/sj3-server

Sun, 26 Oct 2008 00:00:00 GMT

The sj3serv daemon in japanese/sj3-server port now uses "localhost"
as the default listen address for security reason.  If you need
the wildcard address (INADDR_ANY), you have to explicitly set
"servername" to 0.0.0.0 in ${PREFIX}/etc/sj3/serverrc.

AFFECTS: users of japanese/Canna and japanese/sj3

Sun, 26 Oct 2008 00:00:00 GMT

The japanese/Canna and japanese/sj3 port have been split into
japanese/canna-server and japanese/canna-lib, and japanese/sj3-server
and japanese/sj3-lib, respectively for more fine-grained dependency
management in the Ports Collection.

AFFECTS: users of www/squid30

Fri, 26 Sep 2008 00:00:00 GMT

The Squid developers decided to disable COSS support in 3.0, cf.
the discussion starting here:

	http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-dev/200809/0067.html

The corresponding port configuration option WITH_SQUID_COSS is still
available but is a no-op for now.  If you currently use COSS storage with
Squid 3.0 you need to disable it in squid.conf.

AFFECTS: users of ftp/proftpd

Wed, 24 Sep 2008 00:00:00 GMT

proftpd now stores its .delay and .scoreboard files in /var/run/proftpd
instead of /var/run.  If you are updating an existing installation,
adjust the following in /usr/local/etc/proftpd.conf:

	ScoreboardFile	/var/run/proftpd/proftpd.scoreboard

Also of note: The third party modules, mod_codeconv, mod_comb, and
mod_sql_tds are not compatible with this release and have been removed.
They will be re-added when the respective authors provide updated versions.

AFFECTS: users of security/logcheck

Tue, 09 Sep 2008 00:00:00 GMT

logcheck now stores its configuration files in /usr/local/etc/logcheck
instead of /usr/local/etc.  If you are upgrading the port from version
1.1.1 to version 1.2.54, copy the following files to a temporary location,
in case they are removed during the upgrade:

	/usr/local/etc/logcheck.hacking
	/usr/local/etc/logcheck.ignore
	/usr/local/etc/logcheck.violations
	/usr/local/etc/logcheck.violations.ignore

e.g.:

	cd /usr/local/etc
	mkdir /tmp/logcheck.saveconf
	cp logcheck.hacking logcheck.ignore logcheck.violations* \
	   /tmp/logcheck.saveconf

After the upgrade, integrate your local changes to the files listed
above into the new configuration files found in the following directories:

	/usr/local/etc/logcheck/cracking.d
	/usr/local/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.paranoid
	/usr/local/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server
	/usr/local/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.workstation
	/usr/local/etc/logcheck/violations.d
	/usr/local/etc/logcheck/violations.ignore.d

Please consult the following files for more information about
logcheck rules and reporting levels:

	/usr/local/share/doc/logcheck/README.logcheck
	/usr/local/share/doc/logcheck/README.logcheck-database

Also note that the upgraded port installs a crontab file for user
"logcheck" that executes the logcheck script every hour and emails
the results to root.  If the installation process cannot install
the crontab file, it can be installed manually from
/usr/local/share/examples/logcheck/crontab.in, e.g.:

	crontab -u logcheck /usr/local/share/examples/logcheck/crontab.in

AFFECTS: users of www/mediawiki

Sun, 07 Sep 2008 00:00:00 GMT

www/mediawiki version is 1.13 now.  1.12 version was preserved as
www/mediawiki12 port.

AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/nagios and net-mgmt/nagios-devel

Tue, 02 Sep 2008 00:00:00 GMT

The stable Nagios port has now been updated to version 3.0.3.  Upgrading
to this version shouldn't require any configuration changes, but note that
most sample configuration files were moved into objects/ directory.

Nagios 2.12 is still available as net-mgmt/nagios2, use the following to
remain on this legacy stable branch:

	portmaster -o net-mgmt/nagios2 net-mgmt/nagios

or, if you're using portupgrade:

	portupgrade -o net-mgmt/nagios2 net-mgmt/nagios

Nagios 3.x development continues in net-mgmt/nagios-devel, users of this
port in production use should consider switching to the stable branch:

	portmaster -o net-mgmt/nagios net-mgmt/nagios-devel

or, if you're using portupgrade:

	portupgrade -o net-mgmt/nagios net-mgmt/nagios-devel

AFFECTS: users of math/ploticus

Tue, 02 Sep 2008 00:00:00 GMT

This is a major update.

Deprecated: server-side image maps (use client-side instead); definition
of categories within proc areadef (use proc categories instead); proc print.

Discontinued attributes: proc processdata's stack; proc usedata's element,
proc getdata's rotate, and proc defineunits (use the $changeunits()
function instead).

proc rangebar has been renamed proc boxplot and there are major
functionality changes.  Any script that uses proc rangebar will need
maintenance.

See http://ploticus.sourceforge.net/doc/news.html for more information.
