Testing p5-DBIx-Simple upgrade to 1.32
Hi Ports, Initially when I submitted the databases/p5-DBIx-Simple port, committer had to make some changes. So, could somebody please test before I submit a PR to upgrade the port to version 1.32? Here is the patch ... http://www103.pair.com/parv/comp/unix/freebsd/ports/patch-upgrade-p5-DBIx-Simple-1.32 FWIW, port test, from porttools, seems to be happy with the changes. - Parv -- ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It had been installed in some subdir of /usr/local/lib. Are you sure that you didn't use some non-default paths to install a linux_base port? I'm asking the question because: - % locate libdl.so /usr/compat/linux/lib/libdl.so.2 % pkg_info -W /compat/linux/lib/libdl.so.2 /compat/linux/lib/libdl.so.2 was installed by package linux_base-fc-4_10 - I'm a little behind in answering my mail, I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long. Yeah, you're right, you had it right. If and when I finally get ports-management to comment on my thesis, and IF they finally agree with me, I guess I'm going to be forced to completely zero out my entire system (damn, what a PITA) and get things fixed right from the beginning. Back some years back, when I was very active in ports last, I had to maintain my system in an extremely clean status, because otherwise, one can never really guarantee that what builds fine one your system won't break on everyone else's. Anyhow, I said I made no effort to record what I did, and if in this case I misremembered, please don't take it as an insult to your work, which does look like you did a fine job of it. This, at least, is one port that DOES do things as I would have them. _All_ pure infrastructure ports install into LINUXBASE. Just so I have an example of things doing the install badly (I mean here, as I define badly, mreans not using /compat), I just checked the very first linux browser I found in /usr/ports/www, that's linux-firefox, and it does it badly, using /usr/local only. I was wrong in pulling yours out of my heaad (altho, in my own defense, I prefaced it with I think it was, because I wasn't sure. Didn't realize you would take it as an insult, and sure didn't mena it thast way. I just want to eliminate all ports installing Linux type things outside of /compat/linux. There are just so many reasons that it's bad news (see other mail, I won't repeat it all over again here). This is not a nice to have-style requirement, it is a _hard_ requirement. Anyone violating this gets a slap on the hand from me as sonn as I discover it. So in case you talk about ports which only install libs and they are not in LINUXBASE, I would say your system is fucked up It's not fucked up, I just gave a hard example of one that definitely does it bad. I was wrong in misremembering you, not wrong in misremembering the action. Go check that yourself, sir. There are indeed many Linux ports that stick there stuff in /usr/local. and you should install from scratch to have a good basis for discussion. So far you just point fingers in a generic direction without giving hard facts. A lot of this finger pointing is for libs, as far as I understand your posts. So please, install a clean system and tell us about concrete port names. Hard facts are a good base to talk about, the oh, I don't remember what I did but my current setup is not satisfying is leading nowhere.

The problem is, if you don't actively use the port yourself, while you can easily make the port build, you may not be fully aware if the port is not functioning properly. For this reason, I fully endorse the other poster's recommendation that you either do it yourself, or at least have someone who actually uses the software to write the port. As the other poster said, you can find information at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/index.html I also recommend you look at an existing port that has similar functionality.

# * If the upstream distribution already installs .desktop

# * If you require a more elaborate .desktop file than this

Limited Freeware License question
Hi!
I want to port a game which requires data released under Limited
Freeware License
(http://liberatedgames.org/licenses/Limited_Freeware_License.txt)

The owner of this software reserves all rights granted by copyright.
However, the owner grants the following rights to users:

2) The right to distribute the software for free (at no cost) to other

No further rights are granted or should be assumed. This includes, but

---
The question is: does FreeBSD port fall under `derivative work'?
I.e. may the data files be installed by it (or should I ask users
to download files themselves instead) and may the package of such
a port be created? Port does not modify any datafiles, it just needs
to download zip and install them to ${DATADIR}.

OK, this is a fairly classic restrictive freeware license.
The question is: does FreeBSD port fall under `derivative work'?
So long as you do not need to make any patches to the software, no.
I.e. may the data files be installed by it (or should I ask users
to download files themselves instead) and may the package of such
a port be created? Port does not modify any datafiles, it just needs
to download zip and install them to ${DATADIR}.
The following section of the Porter's Handbook describes the variables
you should set to comply with this license:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/porting-restrictions.html
You should definitely set NO_CDROM and probably NO_PACKAGE, as
creating a package would be making a derivative work. However, you
might consider asking the authors of this software for additional
permission

The port itself (i.e. the Makefile, the patches, the pkg-descr) is
your property, you own the copyright.
A person who installs the port on his computer (who runs make
install) doesn't make derivative work, he just makes personal
copies.
A person who creates packages for further distrubution could creates
a derivative, and therefor is not allowed. See
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/porting-restrictions.html
how to disable that package building part (NO_PACKAGE=foo)

Port of SVN snapshot, PORTVERSION choice
Hi!
Another question: I'm going to make a port based on SVN revision of
certain software - what PORTVERSION should I use? Authors suggested
r${REVISION}, but that seem uncommon for FreeBSD ports, so I think
more of 0.0.${REVISION}. Any examples of ports of SVN snapshots?

Fw: Regarding the X509v3 Certificates patch
Hello Mr. Port Maintainer,
How do I get PKI capability added to the WishList for OpenSSH in FreeBSD. I
am just a devoted user... who would like to have PKI security capability built
into my FreeBSD system like it is in Windows. SSH would be a great start.
Is this something that can even be considered?? Thanks!

Mr. Petrov,
Thank you for responding to my message...
I was wondering if you knew of anyone who has implemented your SSH / PKI
solution in FreeBSD??
I am not a programmer and am not sure about all that is involved with adding
a patch in the code for a FreeBSD Port. (in this
case openssh-3.6.1_6) Also, FreeBSD comes with OpenSSH already installed
so I think I would need to remove a System component, add in your patches
and reinstall it(OpenSSH) as the base system expects to see it.
For this reason I was hoping for a few more steps from someone who has
successfully performed this -upgrade- to the security system within FreeBSD
(PS. Would you consider adding a port of your patched version of OpenSSH
to the FreeBSD ports system??? http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html )

It should be question to maintainer of FreeBSD port of OpenSSH since I
don't use FreeBSD.
I could help him to resolve incompatibility problem with different patches.
Roumen
P.S.: The OpenSSH team ignore all patches from OpenBSD team. The reasons
could be found on openssh dev. list but I think that all code written by
other than core OpenBSD members will be ignored forever.

FW: ports/116222: editors/emacs: files installed with wrong owner
Hi ports fellows, As part of the investigation for ports/116222 we found that installing a port after a plain `su' may install files with the wrong uid:gid.

Re: sysutils/cfengine: invalid use of USE_BDB
This makes sense. The current code FYI does require 4.4 or higher, so 44+ is accurate.

If someone were to read this Makefile, they would get the wrong impression that they should set USE_BDB in there /etc/make.conf, ports.conf, or portupgrade.conf file. When they should instead be setting the WITH_BDB_VER variable. The USE_BDB should be set to the minimum version of Berkeley DB that the port will build with. USE_BDB= 44+ And left up to the person installing the port to specify a higher version. If you want to take the choice away from the installer and have the port always use BDB 4.6, then the port should use: USE_BDB= 46 Which will prevent the use of BDB 4.4 and 4.5 from ever being used by this port. I think the proper use of *_BDB variables is that: WITH_BDB?= 46 (An advisory usage), and USE_BDB=yes as in the attachment.
