 For inclusion in the ports tree it really does not matter much what license
 you use for your software - it could even be a commercial closed-source
 program.  The reason for this is that the ports tree is just a framework
 for installing and managing software packages, and none of your code will
 actually live in the ports tree.

 If you have various restrictions in the license then it may not be possible
 for the FreeBSD project to distribute binary packages or source files.
 If that is the case the port creator should set RESTRICTED or other
 appropriate variable in the port Makefile to enforce this (see
 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/porting-r
estrictions.html for what variations are possible.)

Frankly I do not see the point. New software would have to be highly original 
not to have its objects fulfilled by a pure open source prokject rather than 
some contrived license. First look at the competitive merits of the software 
against works available -- not at the liocensing!!

 both open and closed source are equally the wrong model).  Now onto
 your actual points:

 The license has received legal review by an IP attorney.

 Again not to be insulting but I think most FOSS people slept through
 econ 101, especially the section on there is no such thing as a

 UC Santa Cruz and has reviewed  the economic aspects of both my
 specific work and the general concept of SIW (see second blog entry

 on a large scale and there are some more minor things we can improve
 on (subject of debate within the SIW community) that we fix many of
 the economic flaws with both open and closed source models.   He is
 currently in the process of writing a book on the matter and said he
 would have a full review after rewriting ch8 (which is on the economic

Current unassigned ports problem reports

2007-09-24 Thread FreeBSD bugmaster
Current FreeBSD problem reports
The following is a listing of current problems submitted by FreeBSD users. 
These represent problem reports covering all versions including experimental 
development code and obsolete releases. 
Bugs can be in one of several states:

o - open
A problem report has been submitted, no sanity checking performed.

a - analyzed
The problem is understood and a solution is being sought.

f - feedback
Further work requires additional information from the
 originator or the community - possibly confirmation of
 the effectiveness of a proposed solution.

p - patched
A patch has been committed, but some issues (MFC and / or
 confirmation from originator) are still open.

r - repocopy
The resolution of the problem report is dependent on
 a repocopy operation within the CVS repository which
 is awaiting completion.

s - suspended
The problem is not being worked on, due to lack of information
 or resources.  This is a prime candidate
 for somebody who is looking for a project to do.
 If the problem cannot be solved at all,
 it will be closed, rather than suspended.

c - closed
A problem report is closed when any changes have been integrated,
 documented, and tested -- or when fixing the problem is abandoned.
Critical problems
Serious problems

Re: sendmal + cyrus imap + ckuser

2007-09-24 Thread Andrea Venturoli

Matthew Seaman ha scritto:


This isn't really a question for freebsd-ports, but...


Sorry! I thought that, since ckuser is not part of sendmail or
cyrusimap, but is in the sendmail port, this would possibly be a good
place. Where should I post instead?





The way to do this is to configure the cyrus smmapd to listen on
a network port -- something like this in /usr/local/etc/cyrus.conf

  # Sendmail socket map daemon  
  smmapdcmd=smmapdlisten=192.168.1.1:smmap   prefork=1

  smmapdunixcmd=smmapdlisten=/var/imap/socket/smmapd prefork=1


This I've already done.




Then you can tell your 2ary sendmails to use that to check for
mailbox existence and quota availability -- in /etc/mail/`hostname`.mc:

FEATURE(`ckuser_cyrus', `inet:[EMAIL PROTECTED]')dnl


Did this too; first time I restarted sendmail, I read:

sm-mta: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): No local mailer defined
sm-mta: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): QueueDirectory (Q) option must be set

I checked everything again and restarted; now I get no errors, but the 
above line does nothing; everything still works as before with incoming 
mail accepted and forwarded to the primary MX, then bounced back.





Oh, and I'd be wary of exposing the smmapd port on the internet:
either arrange for your 1ary and 2ary mailers to have a private
back-end network they can communicate on


This is my case.




Making your 2ary machines speak LMTP to cyrus on your mail box server
involves very similar tweaks. You'll need something like this in your
.mc file:

define(`confLOCAL_MAILER', `cyrusv2')dnl
define(`CYRUSV2_MAILER_ARGS', `TCP your.mail.server lmtp')dnl


I'll try this, if I can't get the above to work.

 bye  Thanks
av.

Re: ports/116050: [NEW PORT] devel/p5-Gearman-Server: Gearman server daemon

2007-09-24 Thread Vivek Khera

Hi... Sorry I've been out of the loop for a while.

Thanks for submitting this new port, but I object to having a new  
port created and assigned to me as the MAINTAINER.  It just seems  
wrong to do that.


Furthermore, since this port replaces devel/p5-gearmand, it should  
have either been repo-copied, or moved, or some such, and appropriate  
entries in UPDATING created so that the various ports tools can  
follow the move.

Well I must say I am not impressed.. the business model, the license 
concept and the arguments in it support appears  half-baked nonsense. All 
models that have tried to keep a foot in both camps have finished up with 
both feet in the grave!!

Also it would inspire more confidence if you began to follow the model set by 
generations of networkers on mail lists and elsewhere. Please do not mimic 
newbies by top posting___ it is an extremely irritating foible.

There are other programs in the ports with much stricter licenses (Java 
for example). I don't see a problem here; you only have to find someone 
who ports and maintains your program ;-)



Just my 2 cents.

Re: nvidia-driver rebooting machine on X startup

  I came across this thread on freebsd-questions after some searching on

  100% fresh install with things compiled from source this weekend.
  However, I did have to install some binary vncserver packages, but
  they have since been removed.
 
  I did the 'xorg' meta port which got me the current xorg-7.3_1. The
  machine I did the install on was running Debian Unstable for about a
  year without issue with the same hardware (two cards for 3 monitors):
 
  Sep 24 13:41:24 falz kernel: nvidia0: GeForce 7100 GS mem
  0xdd00-0xddff,0xb000-0xbfff,0xde00-0xdeff irq
  16 at device 0.0 on pci1
  Sep 24 13:41:24 falz kernel: nvidia0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
  Sep 24 13:41:24 falz kernel: nvidia1: GeForce FX 5200 mem
  0xdb00-0xdbff,0xc000-0xcfff irq 18 at device 2.0 on
  pci3
  Sep 24 13:41:24 falz kernel: nvidia1: [GIANT-LOCKED]
 

 I forgot, but was there one person in the thread that has only 1 monitor
 attached to 1 card? Cause you're the 3rd I see with multiple monitor issues.
 Ironically, we have one system with CRT + TV-OUT through one card, with no
 issues whatsoever (500GB HDD, DVDRW, rock on!). However I turned off Xinerama
 support from the get go and use TwinView.

 With all the Xorg 7.3 issues, I have not gone that road nor plan to anytime
 soon.

 I also think we've had all the different cards by now, a quatro, GeForce 5k,
 7k, 6k...

 Maybe someone can build a WITNESS/DDB kernel, since dumping seems to be
 failing?

I was the single monitor issue, on the single monitor it does not
reboot unless you set probe_all_gpu's *BUT* it does fail to reconize
all nVidia cards (so does nv)... as far I can tell neither drive
understands 64bit io space and PCI/AGP... the clue is the addr
conflicts that everyone seems to get... btw I think it might of fried
my 8k but at least gives me vesa with no werid video probs on the 5200
GT I have now (1024x768 ;-()).

Re: porting software using glibc's getline()

I have a problem porting a piece of software that use
getline(char**, int*, FILE*). This function is only present in
glibc so I wonder what do I do in this case?


Ideally, you'd replace getline()'s usage with something similar, like  
fgets(3).



If this isn't reasonable, get inspired by glibc's sources and write  
your own. Another inspiration might come from here:

 Thanks for submitting this new port, but I object to having a new

 wrong to do that.

You can't just drop your kitten on our doorstep and expect us to
take care of it. If you want us to help you with your kitten you
should take responsibility for it.
