It doesn't seem to have been added at all - the advice still stands,
however. :-)

I've attached a patch that fixes the errors, for what it's worth.

installing partially translated man pages

2006-11-17 Thread Nick Barkas
I've been working on an update to the archivers/dpkg port (see PR  
105560) and am having some trouble with installing translated man  
pages. The latest version of dpkg includes and installs translations  
of *some* manual pages to several languages, but not all of the pages  
are translated. Using MANLANG and MAN in the port's Makefile  
doesn't work so well for the partially translated languages, as make  
will try to compress or remove the man pages that are still  
untranslated, and hence didn't ever get installed.


Currently my updated port uses the default MANLANG of "" to only  
track the English versions of the man pages using various MAN  
variables, and simply notes the translated man pages in the pkg-plist  
file. This is less than optimal since the non-English man pages do  
not get compressed. Portlint -A will complain, too.


I looked through the list archives and saw that this sort of problem  
has been brought up a couple of times before. One potential solution  
was presented here: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd- 
ports/2005-May/023688.html. I decided to go ahead and implement  
something like that, and it seems to have worked out ok. In addition  
to using MANLANG and MAN to specify a group of man pages  
installed for all languages, I added a MAN_PARTIAL_TRANSLATIONS  
variable which can be used to list languages for which you have some  
man pages, but not all those listed in MAN. Also, I added  
support for using MAN_pages the port does install for a given language. Here's an example:  
if you have English man pages foo.1 and bar.1, and only foo.1 in  
German, you could do this:


MANLANG=""
MAN1=   foo.1 bar.1
MAN_PARTIAL_TRANSLATIONS=   de
MAN1_DE=foo.1

I've tested this change with the partially translated man pages  
provided with dpkg, and it seems to work. Attached is a patch to  
bsd.port.mk that makes this work. It should be completely backwards  
compatible. I have not (yet) added any support for MLINKS in the  
partially translated man pages. Also, there is currently no support  
for installing English man pages with MAN_PARTIAL_TRANSLATIONS, but  
this can be worked around by just using MANLANG and MAN for  
English translations and MAN_PARTIAL_TRANSLATIONS for whatever your  
port's primary man page language is, if that isn't English.


Any thoughts on whether this would be a good change? I will file a PR  
with my patch tomorrow unless someone has a better solution.

I've found php to be very sensitive to trivial issues like the order of

Unbelievable. I left only sessions module to be loaded and it doesn't
segfault. another test - i moved session to the beginning and it worked
too.

This is actually a known problem, documented on the PHP site.

My nasty solution to deal with this is to have a "good" copy of extensions.ini 
saved, and I just copy it over after each update. I only need to modify it 
after adding or removing extensions.

I don't see the point of adding special treatment of amd64 in all
my ports that use gcc.  Why this is not handled by the ports
infrastructure?  Is it satisfactory to copy/paste the three needed
lines in all ports?

Well, actually there is some bug within the application I guess:

Can't call method "get_widget" without a package or object reference at

Can you provide the documentation to this known problem?

Also, ale@, is this issue/known problem handled decently when
installing a php5 extension via ports?  (It doesn't sound like it).
It almost sounds like we need some additional framework to give
each extension its own priority, thus when extensions.ini is edited,
sorting the extensions loaded by their priority.

Asset Tracker

2006-11-17 Thread Paul Pathiakis
Good day Ports!

I have a high interest, along with several others, to see Asset Tracker be 
made into a port.  I have contacted the software author, Todd Chapman, 
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and he has given me permission to pass on his name and the 
software address.

Asset Tracker is an overlay to RT (Request Tracker) and tracks assets (ok, 
duh... :-) ) I'm slowly converting the infrastructure machines, in a company 
that provides Solaris and RH as platforms to customers, into FreeBSD.  Their 
accounting department and IT department are having problems tracking 
locations, addresses and specification of the platforms (PCs, workstations, 
servers, switches, etc) and keeping them in a centralized, platform 
independent repository.

I believe Asset Tracker may be the extensible tool we need.  Please assist.  
If someone from ports could contact the author (CC address) about getting 
this into ports it would be most appreciated.

Thank you!

Paul Pathiakis

PS - Thank you for the solid responses to all the previous requests for 
software.  -and 'no' I don't have time to be the porter. :-(

See:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.recode.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mysql.php

for a couple of examples, see the "warning" sections. There are probably 
others too, I haven't dug much further.

I _might_ be interested in this. Could you please drop me a link to the
project ?

Thanks Todd and Matthew for the URL.

OK, it looks like something we could use, so I'm interested in it.
However, I never used RT and I'm low on free time, so if someone else
wants to step in please drop me an email. Matthew ?

Paul, if you don't here for me about this till the middle of next week,
please ping me.

error building desktop-file-utils

Hello all,

I'm getting a failure when portupgrading desktop-file-utils from 0.11 to

Hi Anna,


I'm a FreeBSD ports commiter and while I can't speak for the hole
project from a legal point of view, I'd be happy to keep in touch with
you so that we can sort things out.

Please note that you sent your email to our general questions lists.
Since Opera is a a third-party application for us the more adequate
list would have been [EMAIL PROTECTED] (CC'ed, please drop questions@
from CCs on further replies).

As other pointed out in a rather rude way, for which I apologise,
FreeBSD (and *BSDs in general) are not Linux. Since we're rather proud
of our unix heritage  people do tend to get inflamed when someone talks
about BSD as being an some Linux distro.

Opera is in our ports framework, both the native version and the linux
version (both maintainers CC'ed). I don't know offhand if we distribute
the binaries on our CD images; from reading the licence I don't see the
any requirement to have a signed agreement for this, but if this is not
the case please let me know.


I am using Opera as my primary browser since v3 or something, but I am
a little disappointed the the problems we're seeing on FreeBSD are
rarely addressed. And indeed the binaries you're producing are for
FreeBSD 4.x and 5.x while we will release 6.2 in a month.
