FireFox and NFSv4
Hello. For years I've had my home on an NFSv3 server. Finally I decided to move to NFSv4. Now the following happens every now and then (let's say, 1 out of 5 times I launch it): _ FireFox is closed (no process running); _ I open FireFox and, while it works, a red message appears saying: "The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software can cause this problem"; _ I can close FireFox, but I'll have to wait for a while to reopen it, or I'll get the "Firefox is already running but not responding" window. _ After a while I can open it again with no warning. Nothing to really worry about, but I'm curious (and would like to be sure no latent problem is there). Of course I beleive the reference to "security software" does not apply to UNIX systems; I don't think anything is accessing FF files either. What should I check? bye & Thanks in advance av. ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

I keep forgetting about them, because I don't in any way understand how to use them. Hmm, flavors have to be something that can be installed in parallel, right? How does that impact binutils? The approach I would have taken would have been to make the static option in binutils also install an empty file in DATADIR and have GCC check that file. Maybe that isn't ideal.

They don't /have/ to be something that can be installed in parallel. Different flavours of the same package can conflict with each other. Look at the editors/emacs port for a nice little self-contained example. The majority of flavoured packages do support parallel installs, but that's because they're mostly python modules and python allows multiple versions of itself to be installed concurrently.

Re: Bus error while creating a port for GNUStep renaissance
Hello all,
sorry to bother you again, but I was wondering why nobody noticed my
message.
Please do not take this in a negative way, but I would really appreciate
your feedback, one letter is enough:
A. The answer is obvious. If you cannot find it yourself, you should not be
doing this. Continue reading the porters handbook.
B. This is the wrong mailing list
C. Your mail is totally unclear, we cannot do annything for you if you
don't give a clearer explanation.
D. So much to do, so little time We just cannot help everybody. Bad
luck nobody is interested in GNUstep.
E. None of the above: what is wrong with your question is: ...
Kind regards,
Edwin Ancaer

Hi! > sorry to bother you again, but I was wondering why nobody noticed my > message. It's because we are all *very* busy 8-}, sorry for the delay. As far as I understand, you prepared a new port, devel/renaissance, and have problems during the build. I failed to notice that you attached the port files to your first mail, I'm testing them right now. I'll get back to you in a few days. One hint: Please use portlint -AC to test if the port is fine. -- p...@opsec.eu+49 171 3101372One year to go ! ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

After cleaning up the Makefile from the portlint-warnings, it builds just fine on current@r348454M.
