Been there, got no t-shirt. And I already was using portupgrade with
BDB4. But thanks anyway, it's already fixed.

RE: ruby-bdb broken somehow?

2006-07-06 Thread Matt Sealey

Mrff.

Okay I rebuuilt from scratch.

First run of portupgrade complained that the DB was not the required
format and completely rebuilt the package database.

It makes me wonder what else broke that used Ruby and put databases
on my disk somewhere.. and is going to explode because it was using
a 1.8x bdb database and not a 4.3?

Conflict between avahi and howl/mDNSResponder

2006-07-06 Thread Willy Picard
Hi,

Currently, avahi conflicts with howl/mDNSResponder. As a user of KDE, I have
plenty of applications that depend on mDNSResponder. But at the same time, I am
a user of OpenOffice.org, Firefox, eclipse and many others that depend on avahi
(mainly because of gnome-vfs). The current conflict has the following
consequence: I cannot update the applications that depend on avahi because avahi
cannot be updated. Therefore, my question is the following: what should I do to
have Firefox, OpenOffice.org and the like updated? Should I delete avahi and
force a dependence of these applications with howl/mDNSResponder? Should I wait
till Gnome and KDE find an agreement on this conflict :) ?

Regards,

Willy Picard

What portupgrade version do you use?

A lock feature still under developing (and exists only in

There is no simple solution to the problem. Now that Kerberos supports plugins, 
static linking is no longer supported, at least not until the Kerberos 
development team has thought through the issue of how to handle plugins in a 
statically linked environment. I will commit the krb5 1.5 upgrade to the port

Question about ports builds

2006-07-06 Thread Charlie Sorsby
Hello,

When one builds (or attempts to build) a port, does the Makefile
know about dependencies and, if necessary, fetch and build any 
that are needed but not found?

Thank you and kindest regards,

Charlie

PS It would be really helpful if each port/package at freebsd.org
had an indication whether it requires the latest and greatest
version of freeBSD.  Put another way, it would be nice to know the
oldest version of freeBSD it will work with.  Perhaps that could be
included in the "Requires" list on the page for the port/package.

Reason for 11 or 1.1 appended to SDL files?

2006-07-06 Thread Dmitry Marakasov
Hi!

I wonder what is the reason SDL has it's version appended everywhere
(include/SDL11 instead of include/SDL, libSDL-1.1.so instead of
libSDL.so, sdl11-config instead of sdl-config). It takes extra time when
porting SDL software, extra patches need to be added. Is there any good
reason for such changes to sdl' file names?

Yes and yes.

The people maintaining the ports attempt to support them on all of the active 
versions of FreeBSD, which means 4.10 or 4.11, 5.3 and later, 6.0 and later, 
and -CURRENT (what will become 7.0).  Support for 4.x is going away soon, 
however, and it will become more common for new ports to not work on 4.x as 
time passes.


For those ports that do not work with an older version like 4.x because of 
features added to more recent versions of the operating system, ports usually 
will indicate this in the Makefile.

I've never had a problem with it, but I've never let it run for more
than 5 minutes at a time while tracking down a problem station.  And
I've always quit it manually using CTRL+C or Q.

Doing a quick test on a 6.0-p4 system, I can reproduce this issue,
though:
  in terminal 1:
ssh to remote system
su - to root
start trafshow

  in terminal 2:
ssh to remote system
su - to root
kill -9 the first instance of csh
check ps to make sure it's dead but trafshow is still alive
check top and see 0% idle, ~66% system and ~33% user, with
trafshow at the top of the process list
kill trafshow in top, get 99% idle

Not sure if this is a bug in csh, trafshow, both, or something else.

As your database was rebuilt (since ruby18-bdb-* didn't like the 1.85
format it found), no need to be scared, it's in 4.3 format now.

Follows generic Berkeley DB 4.2 -> 4.3 upgrade instructions:

Other than that, db43 can handle db42 *non-transactional* databases
(like portupgrade uses).

Transactional databases leave log. and __db.NNN files behind.
If you have *transactional* databases (those to write BOTH
log.NN and __db.NNN), see the application-specific upgrade notes
(for instance, bogofilter has them in README.db). If there are none,
remove the db42-written __db.* files *BEFORE* running the now db43-based
application for the first time, Berkeley DB will then upgrade the
database logs properly.

It cannot hurt to make proper backups before database/application
upgrades though -- be sure to backup the log.* files *AFTER* the *.db
files.

Most likely.  {p,k}trace it whilst it's eating processor time and see
what it's doing.  The most likely scenario is that it's reading stdin
(which has gone away), ignoring the read error and re-issuing the
read.  In this case, fixing it would be a matter of finding the
relevant code (main input handling loop) and implementing the missing
error checking.

Actually "support" for 4.x is gone already. We're only required to mark
the ports broken or incorporate patches from the users. Of curse, we
try to fix broken ports on 4-STABLE but that battle is going to be lost.

The problem is that there are many versions of libtest
(lib/libtest-2.so, lib/libtest-3.so), and I want to select the library
by adding a -L linker flag to the corresponding directory, without
altering the program (each lib/test2, lib/test3, etc. has a symlink
libtest.so which points to the corresponding one; I want the mapping to
take effect at link time).

For example (note that  I didn't specify -ldb-4.2, just -ldb, and
lib/db42 isn't in the linker path):
% cc test.c -L/usr/local/lib/db42 -ldb
% ldd a.out
a.out:
libdb-4.2.so.2 => /usr/local/lib/libdb-4.2.so.2 (0x28077000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x2814a000)

When I try it after symlinking the lua4 library this happens:
% cc test.c -L/usr/local/lib/lua4 -llua
% ldd a.out
a.out:
liblua.so => (not found)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x2814a000)

I would like to achieve the same result as the first case.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Ale

We already have a Bonfire port.

It's not in the mainstream Ports Collection because it depends on HAL
functionality, currently still unavailable in the Ports Collection.

I do wonder, how have you handled this problem?

Hi Sergio!

You have to send it with 'send-pr'. It's described here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/porting-submitting.html


We already have bonfire in MC ports.

http://www.marcuscom.com:8080/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/ports/sysutils/bonfire/

The reason why we didn't put it in FreeBSD ports tree is that there is no  
HAL port, which it exists in MC ports. You will have to talk with ahze  
about it. I personal have no idea if it required HAL support or whatever.


Cheers,

The latest results from the battlefield are not encouraging.  I just
finished another i386-4 build.  Here are the stats of # of packages that
completed versus whether the build is still running or not, compared to
the slightly more than 15,000 possible packages:

i386-4  10,167 (complete)
i386-5  13,064 (still in progress)
i386-6  13,599 (complete)
i386-7  13,412 (still in progress)

For comparison, a complete run of amd64-6 recently produced 12171 packages,
and this was with kdebase3 and docbook-xsl not having finished successfully,
which would have added many more.  (I may try to restart it).

The burden of trying to keep everything working on 4 i386 branches, 3
amd64 branches, and 3 sparc64 branches is too high at this point, especially
with the degree of drift in such things as header files and base compiler
between -4 and -5.  Of course, most of these things can be fixed given
sufficient maintainer and committer interest, but at some point you have
to conclude that you're in the realm of diminishing returns.

(pedantic note: we also try to keep two branches of ia64 running, at a
lower priority.  Even those may be in better shape than i386-4, currently.)

Further note: there may be a recent checkin affecting the linux_base
ports which completely skews this result; I am investigating.  However.
there are 206 legitimate build errors on i386-4 now; that doesn't include
any port already marked as BROKEN.  That's quite high.

Those interested in further research can check out a new statistics
display at http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/packagestats.html.
(Among other things it will prove that you should not trust me to do
web design, but never mind that.)

I noticed a few days ago that the first site at FEDORA_CORE_SITES

Well, we currently also use IGNORE in some cases where the port builds
successfully but then doesn't run (e.g. coredumps).

It definitly installs correctly if you use the port instead of the
package.  It looks like the package is incorrect.

I think you're right about that, and my preferred method of operation for
the ports that I maintain has been to try and test on RELENG_4 whenever
possible, but not let not testing stop me from updating a port that works on
7-current and 6-stable. What I've found is that in those rare cases where
there is an intersection between a port that is broken on RELENG_4 and users
that care about that, I'm notified fairly promptly. If not by users, I
usually get a krismail to the same effect. :) Thus, things in my little
world don't stay broken for too long.

All that said, I'd love to officially drop support for RELENG_4, but I think
that until we drop support for RELENG_4 in the base, dropping support for
the ports would break faith with our users. At the same time, I think that
some bit rot at the edges (of the seldom-used ports) is natural, and not to
be mourned.

The way you break those numbers down is interesting. On i386 there are 206
errors on -4, 277 on -5, 119 on -6, and 151 on -7. I would be interested to
know what the percentage of overlap is ... in other words what percentage of
the 119 ports broken on -6 also comprise the broken ports on the other
releases. Based on a cursory examination of the errors on -4, I'd estimate
that percentage to be quite high. Assuming that it's 90%, that means that 99
ports are uniquely broken on -4, which is a very small percentage of the
packages that actually built (0.097%). IOW, there is actually less bit rot
(in terms of unintended brokenness) than I would have expected.

FreeBSD Port: repeater-0.08_2

2006-07-06 Thread Marc & Debbie Hoaglin
 

 

HI,

Is there a way to get the VNC repeater to run as a daemon or somehow in the
background. I don’t want to have to start it everytime I need to use it.

 

Thanks,

Marc D Hoaglin

 

FreeBSD is awesome!
