Hi all,
Summary of below. I have started an effort to get TeXLive into the FreeBSD
ports. See github.com/DragonSA/texlive for details. Volunteers welcome.

Hi,
I've found a problem in FreeBSD's implementation for threads, pth does not
have this problem.
The following test case consistantly reproduces the problem:
--- start ---
#! /usr/bin/env python
from subprocess import Popen, PIPE
from threading import Lock, Thread
def runner():
process =

Hi,
I've created a patch that increases the performance of mtree. This is of
particular use during a port install. In an extreme case I have experienced a
~20% increase [1].
For a full discussion see PR bin/143732. This arose out of [2] where I
experienced the increase.
For your conven
Hi,
Apologies for the delayed reply.

Hi,
As some may have noticed on -current I have been working on using
stacked unionfs
to implement a 'tinderbox' type build system. I have successfully
used the scripts to
build x11/xorg (and have compared the results to using the traditional
approach using
pkg_add). The build system is stable e

Hi,
The question first: init does allow a chroot before booting the system however
does it allow the first device to be unmounted and use the new chroot as the
root device. If it does how can that be achieved.
My motivation for this: Allow a USB device or CDROM to boot the system, then

Hi,
I was wondering if there was any tool available in freebsd for handling
information, specifically configuration files, package information and such.
I know all information is available via text files however in order to access
the information the program might have to hard code the retreva
Hi,
I have been having a very annoying problem with fetch and the ports distfiles

Hi,
Thank you all for your responses, it has given me much to think about. I
guess there is consenses that there is room for improvement in the current
pkg system. Attached are some of my initial ideas about what is required and
expected in any (and all future) package systems.

Dear Jordan
Recently I stumbled across a document you wrote in 2001, entitled "FreeBSD
installation and package tools, past, present and future". I find FreeBSD
appealing and I would like to contribute it its success, and as your article
describes, the installation and packaging system is lack
