My first assumption was, that the patch had already been integrated
into portmaster, when it failed to apply to the updated port. But the
resulting portmaster script did not support PKGNG, which made me look
for an updated patch and finally try to apply the previous patch to
the renamed file fetched by the port.
I just wanted to point out, that while the patch from October 2nd
does no longer find the file to patch (since it has been renamed),
that it still is required (with the changed filename). It took me
some time to resolve this issue and I just wanted to spare others
from wasting their time ...

Buying recommendation for silent router/fileserver
Hey guys, I need to replace an aging Pentium IV system that has been serving as my router, access point, file- and mediaserver for quite some time now. The replacement should have: - amd64 CPU (for ZFS, obviously) - 2x GigE (igress, egress interfaces) - some form of wlan interface (I currently use an Atheros based PCI card) - eSATA for attaching a backup disk where I stream ZFS snapshots to - serial port is always nice, for when I mess up an upgrade - fan-less if possible So far, this here seems to fit the bill perfectly http://www.fit-pc.com/web/fit-pc/intensepc/ but pricing seems to defy any reality. It does not state directly which chipsets are used for Wifi and Ethernet, the block diagram claims Ethernet chips to be Intel 82579 and RTL8111D, but I don't trust that fully. For Wifi I can always fall back to sticking in a supported USB stick, although that's kinda hacky. So how well is networking going to be supported by FreeBSD? Should I just bite the bullet and find out?

I have made changes to ports/Mk/bsd.gcc.mk that allow the addition of USE_GCC=any to a port's Makefile, and then committed that change to various ports. In most (but not all!) cases this will tell the port build with gcc instead of clang (*) . Why not USE_GCC ?= any for the poor guys like me who build (some) ports with USE_GCC=4.6 ? For those users with CC installed as gcc (including -stable), this patch should have no effect. Variations of combinations have been heavily tested on pointyhat-west.
