[RFC] NO_INSTALL in meta-ports considered harmful
Some metaports (like print/cups) use NO_INSTALL. This will prevent such port from registering its installation in /var/db/ pkg, which is different behaviour from installing it from prebuilt package (where it registers just fine). IMHO not registering installation makes no sense and serves only to confuse users (I've installed cups yet pkg_info claims I didn't!) and causes unnecessary differences between software installed from ports vs pkgs, which may lead to other unexpected problems (like missing RUN_DEPENDS). Thus I advocate for more uniform handling of ports and packages by treating it as a bug and replacing any such use of NO_INSTALL with empty do-install target. Maybe even add a note to Porter's Handbook (though I see no reference to NO_INSTALL there). If anyone has some insightfull comments why NO_INSTALL is not evil then I'm all ears. ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Unless you solve plist problem (and completely automated plist generation
would be a fantastic thing to have!), such functionality should not be
available (or at least advertised) to end-users.
You may also consider moving it to separate file (bsd.maintainer.mk).
I don't quite get the logic behind ${USER} == ${SVN_USER} conditional.
Why do you assume that if my username is the same as username for svn
checkout then I want to upload snapshot to freefall ? In addition not
every maintainer has @freebsd.org account. Uploading should be
customizable (maybe UPLOAD_CMD - like FETCH_CMD).
Other than that I really like the idea (maintainer part) since I had to
do something similar recently with smartmontools and having a
standardised way to prepare ports for svn snapshots would have saved me
some time. FWIW here is how I did it (in port's Makefile):
PORTVERSION=5.38.r${SVNREVISION}
SVNREVISION=2924
# no prebuilt files in svn
USE_AUTOTOOLS= aclocal:110 autoheader:262 automake:110 autoconf:262

Awww crap, whole package thing on FreeBSD is broken by design :( I guess the only possible fix for upgrades in the middle of mirroring would be to have completely immutable repositories with timestamp in their name and then some file that points to latest complete repository.

Currently to really upgrade packages I must do something like: rm -rf /usr/ports/packages pkg_upgrade -af to make sure rebuilt packages are refetched. But it's obviously suboptimal.

Unfortunately no scheme involving global lock files will really work.
I've read http://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSDMirrors that you linked and it mentions
TIMESTAMP files that it uses to monitor mirrors quality.
You just need to visit $random[1] freebsd mirror and look at that file
then check packages directory. You will find that it can have latest
timestamp yet many months old files.
In other words, mirrors cannot be trusted.
For now however I've found and suggested in sibling post a workaround
that should mostly work assuming INDEX file gets mirrored before packages
(and it looks like it is).

Solving any of this, in a way that does not require intervention of user if it
happens, requires that file content at given url is immutable (or doesn't
exist).
There is simply no other 100% reliable way.
You can however do some sanity checks and fail early if failing is acceptable.
Some ideas:
1. if (mtime(pkg) > mtime(INDEX)) fail("Mirror sync in progress");
2. Fetch timestamps of all requested packages in one go before fetching
contents;
do it again and compare to be sure nothing changed;
fetch actual packages and fail if mtime/size does not match.
3. Do 1 or 2 but fetch timestamps from well known source or multiple sources.
You may also find most up-to-date mirror this way.

Actually I'd rather have less data in INDEX.
Some columns have no use in case of packages
({BUILD,FETCH,EXTRACT,PATCH}_DEPENDS).
Additional data can be stored in separate files as long as there is some way
to verify they all belong to same build. It could be some information
in header (does INDEX support comments?) or some assumption such as that
modification times may not differ by more than a couple of seconds
(just touch them all at the end of build).
I think storing all columns in separate files would be better and allow
future extensibility.
For example consider PKGINDEX subdirectory with following files,
each having one entry per line:
# PKGINDEX/format:
MANDATORY org.freebsd.PKGINDEX 1
OPTIONAL com.mycomany.PKGINDEX 1
# this one actually has custom format
# list base format and extensions
# mandatory must be supported by client, optional can be ignored
# i'm probably overengineering here a little ;)
# PKGINDEX/packages.list:
bar-2.0
baz-3.2
foo-1.0
# *.list files are just lists (ordered alphabetically)
# PKGINDEX/run-depends.map:
foo-1.0 bar-2.0
foo-1.0 baz>=3.1
# *.map files have " +" pairs (ordered alphabetically)
# in this case foo needs bar & baz
# in future it could support boolean operators
# e.g.:
# foo-1.0 (bar-2.0 || bar-alternate=2.0)
# foo-1.0 (baz>=3.1 && baz<4.0)
# where '-' is "soft" requirement like currently implemented in pkg_add
# new operators would be strictly enforced
# PKGINDEX/category.map:
foo-1.0 sysutils databases devel
# sysutils is primary category of foo-1.0
# additional categories follow in alphabetic order
# PKGINDEX/origin.map:
foo-1.0 sysutils/foo
# PKGINDEX/description.map:
bar-3.2 Bar is better than foo
foo-1.0 Foo is great
etc...
I have some awk scripts to produce something like that from INDEX ;)
General idea is to have sorted files where first column is always a key.
You can then operate on them using utilities like join(1) and tsort(1).
Having potentially large but rarely used attributes like description
in separate files greatly reduces amount of text needed to be loaded and
parsed by utilities in common operations.

That's why list of alterations have to be recorded and relevant tools would mark such packages appropriately. Using filters would be considered unsupported (unless maintainer of particular port/package says otherwise). It's no different than doing unsupported things right now, just giving user more tools.

How to uninstall pkgng
I've made a mistake of installing pkgng on 9.0-amd64 but since there is no up-to-date repository I want to remove it. What would be the correct procedure to achieve that ?

You will need this patch: http://patch-tracker.debian.org/patch/series/view/mail-notification/5.4.dfsg.1-8/disable-werror.patch from which you have to strip first directory in file name.

OK, I've sent patches to PR. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=126114 As suggested, .warning was removed, option description improved and KEYRING will force PAM. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=126115 Like above, gnome-screensaver has similar .warning, but because of partially broken pam support, the logic is reversed: lack of pam will disable keyring.

Don't like it, want to delete all packages installed during the operation. This could be achieved by tracking which ports were installed explicitly by user. I.e. when I type: (cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome2; make install) or pkg_add -r gnome2 It will install gnome2 along with it's dependencies but in some way mark gnome2 package as installed by user, say, by creating /var/db/pkg/ gnome2-2.22/+USER_INSTALLED or even easier, by maintaing some special unremovable dummy package that would depend on all packages installed explicitly. Then when you decide you want to get rid of gnome something like this could be implemented: pkg_deinstall -Ru gnome2-2.22 where option 'R' (already exists in pkg_deinstall but could be added to pkg_delete) means "Deinstall all those packages required by the given packages as well." and option 'u' would be something like "keep packages installed explicitly". I think similar solution is/was used in Gentoo. You can even approximate this behaviour with existing tools like pkg_rmleaves or pkg_cutleaves, though you will need to manually maintain a list of packages to keep. * Install a newer version of postgresql, have an OMG moment and remember you need to dump the database with the old version and reaload it with the new version. Revert the install by deleting the new packages and reinstalling the old ones (i.e. undo a removal). pkg_deinstall -R posgtresql-8.4.0; pkg_add postgresql-8.3.0 but you still need to figure out how to get old packages (portupgrade/ portinstall with option -P keeps all packages on disk). Also if not all dependencies of postgres84 could be removed (because some other package needs them) then you could have a problem in either of schemes (yours and mine). ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Would be nice if there was also INDEX.bz2.
Also to be able to write an effective pkg upgrade tool one would need
