MegaCLI port is ports-only -- how would you deploy it?

maintained (replaced by StorCLI), but there's no port for StorCLI, and...there are multiple raid-card specific versions? Jeez. Feels even more dirty. https://support.siliconmechanics.com/portal/en/kb/articles/storcli-for-freebsd-and-other-operating-systems Ideas welcome? -Dan Mahoney

Python version dependencies in pkg

All, A quick question: If a pkg depends on python, but not a specific version, it will simply pick a version to install (I guess, whatever version was the default when the pkg was built, 3.8 right now), correct? If you have 3.9 installed, that will satifsfy dependencies, and it won't install

pkg question: how to patch a startup file, but make it so that an upgrade to the package still overwrites it

All, At the day job we've found a bug in an rcfile (for open-vm-tools), that conflicts with our puppet install. We've already told the pkg maintainer, pointed out the problem, might also go ahead and file a pr so there's an available patch. In the mean time, all our puppet runs are reporting

Default versions and pkg (slight rant)

Hey there all, I recently asked about default versions in pkg, and if it was possible to tell a pkg (without building it yourself) "no, don't conflict with that", for example to point bind-tools916 at python3.9, because it's just a shebang line. That thread went a lot of places, but only serve

p5-dbd-pg

Hey there, On doing a routine pkg upgrade at the dayjob, the perl module p5-DBD-pg forced an upgrade from postgresql12-client to postgresql13-client (which uninstalled postgresql12-server). This in turn required a full dump and restore of the DB to make things compatible (after first re-downgr

All, Now that FreeBSD seems to be handling root ssl certs internally, will the ca_root_nss port/package go away at some point? (Or rather, stop being a dependency of other packages? I.e. if you want to trust ca_root_nss you can install it, but the OS baseline is what things like "curl" defaul

Forking a couple of python ports to tauthon versions

Hey there all, I’m looking at *attempting* to get Mailman to play nice with tauthon, but the dependency chain is kind of fierce: dnspython, cython, setuptools. I’d like to do this in a ports-compatible way if at all possible. /usr/ports/Mk/uses/Python.mk will never include tauthon as a version

Another morning lost to bad ports choices (perl upgrade, plus postgres)

All, I’ve lost another morning to a bad choice made by ports/pkg. Maybe this is a dumb question/rant, but recently, a routine pkg upgrade of the dayjob’s RT VM (which included an upgrade to perl) decided to leave me with no ability to connect. After following the rabbit hole, I hit a database

Re: Regarding port(s) you maintain in FreeBSD ports collection

Using a combination of ports and pkg

on the platforms I'm not testporting on like ARM. For 99 percent of that, I'm just building the same exact things I could pkg install, which poudriere gives me no way to do in a jail. Is this...normal? Is this what one expects a new porter to do? Or am I making too much work

Please shed some wisdom on how autogen/autoconf works? Also, how to build a port from github.

Hey there all, I’m debugging an issue with FreeIPMI that you can go read about on the freeipmi-users mailing list if you care, but as part of that, the developer has asked me to git checkout the “master” branch from their github mirror and build against it, including running autogen to create a
