2014Q4 ports SVN branch

2014-11-14 Thread J David
The 2014Q4 ports tree has been doing very well with getting security updates in a more timely fashion. It seemed worthwhile to point out that that hard (and tedious) work is being noticed and (much!) appreciated. Thanks! ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org ma

Quarterly ports trees not getting security updates?

2014-08-26 Thread J David
Hello, When the quarterly ports trees were introduced, they were described as including security, build, and runtime fixes for 3 months. This is a great idea, and with 2014Q2 it seemed to work pretty well. However, it doesn't seem like 2014Q3 is getting security fixes. For example, the openssl p

2014-05-20 Thread J David
Whenever I build a ports list with Haskell modules in it, poudriere insists on rebuilding those Haskell modules every time, claiming the options have changed. The options haven't changed; it will happily report this even if run twice in a row on a system with no other activity in between: >>

Updating less-than-everything with poudriere & pkgng

2014-04-01 Thread J David
Poudriere and pkgng have been great tools for managing large numbers of FreeBSD ports. However, we would like to optimize the build in some cases. Consider a poudriere-generated pkgng repository with about 10,000 packages in it. Now, just because the FreeBSD ports collection is the way it is, ab

pkgng vs random port moves

2014-03-16 Thread J David
Is there a best practice for what to do with pkgng when ports maintainers randomly rename ports? (E.g. mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin being moved to mail/spamassassin a few days ago without notice or warning or documentation in UPDATING.) Prior to pkgng, we used to use pkg_replace for this. portmaster

We recently freed up a couple of machines to start moving toward helping test and using pkgng. For testing purposes, we have two parallel build machines running 9.1-STABLE, one running poudriere, and one running portmaster. While building converters/libiconv with portmaster we hit the following:

How to see errors with poudriere?

2013-03-22 Thread J David
We are rapidly converting all of our ports-building infrastructure to poudriere, which is a fantastic tool and has been a huge improvement for us. However, I do run across the occasional stubborn ports that refuse to build (example: lang/ghc) under poudriere, and I'm not sure how to debug this. I
