Re: portupgrade-devel: 2 feature requests
Doug Barton worte: I'm going to respond to these from the portmaster perspective to try and give some additional context. No criticism of portupgrade is intended, since I've said many times that they are not completely overlapping in feature sets. Doug, I feel no resentment on criticism of portupgrade. I know it's not perfect. You know too, otherwise you did not start portmaster I think :) My purpose is to fix portupgrade with as little modifications as it's possible just because I have no time (and motivations) to rewrite algorithms completely. Moreover, I think somebody who have more time and ruby skills should support it. But for three years I've got it, only two little patches (a few lines) was sent to me. If somebody wants to help, sources are on SourceForge. Send me patches and ask a write access if you feel you can. I'm also responding since I think these are interesting questions and I've put a lot of thought into my solutions for them. :) Thank you. I can't add much to your answers. -- Dixi.

No, but a tool can give me a good guess by telling me what's to do. I've often wished I could tell portupgrade to write a file in /tmp with a summary list of what it's going to do in order, with pointers to what happened. So, I could cat /tmp/foo at any time, and see something vaguely like: --- www/apache22 DONE lang/php5DONE lang/perlFAILED security/mhash Currently Building emulators/mtools www/firefox x11-servers/xorg-server --- The x/y it shows in argv is vaguely useful, and it DOES gives a little X total, Y done, Z ignored, A failed list before each build (at least, with -v, which I always have on), but that doesn't tell me what's left to do, what's already done, what failed, etc. And it doesn't tell me anything unless I happen to be watching the terminal at just the right time, and read quick before it scrolls off. I have to wait 'till the end for any details that. Rewriting a file at the beginning of each build that I could cat WOULD tell me a lot, and I could start looking ahead of time at what failed (perl usually fails, for instance, because I mount / readonly, and it tries to rewrite make.conf), or have some idea how much is left to do just by my general knowledge of what things build fast and which take ages.

Now you can just use less on /tmp/portupgrade.log and still have the
on-screen stuff. Of course, stuff like curses option screens look a bit
weird viewed in less, but if all you want is to find the last summary,
that should be easy with less and you could even write an alias to do it
automatically, I'm sure.
You can also go old-skool and just use ^S to stop the output, scroll
your xterm back up to see what you want, then ^Q to restart output. If
you ^S for too long the builds will pause when the output buffer fills
up, so you do have to remember to ^Q. [2]

This may only exist in later versions of portupgrade. Its possible to create your own database of port build times by creating a list of ports to be updated and running it thru pkg_sort so that they are in correct dependency order, then using /usr/bin/time you can build each port individually and record each port's build time (seconds) in some flat file, for ex: devel/glib20|140.85 devel/gmake|45.16 devel/gnome-vfs|289.34 devel/gnomevfs2|338.94 devel/libIDL|50.06 devel/libbonobo|162.98 devel/libglade2|81.53 It would be more accurate than any build times from someone else since it would be based on your machine's environment. I went all the way and used Xdialog to display a progress bar and other such frills. In the end, I stopped bothering since it added needless complexity to the process and it still took however long it takes to finish.

pkg-plist and WWWDIR
Hello
I've been updating sysutils/nut from 2.2.0 to .1, and I've
hit some issues there.
First of all, bsd.port.mk sets WWWDIR for the actual port,
which is very nice of it. OTOH the CGI support is optional
in nut, which results in a conditional entry in pkg-plist.
the NUT_CGI plist variable is only set if the CGI support
is enabled, and WWWDIR is an absolute path. If the CGI
support is enabled, then NUT_CGI is set to an empty string.
And WWWDIR is added to the PKG_PLIST variables.
The resulting lines in pkg-plist is the following:
%%NUT_CGIWWWDIR%%/file
And when the pkg-plist is processed it preprends /usr/local,
since that's the PREFIX, so it will end up looking for ${PREFIX}/${WWWDIR},
which will result in /usr/local/usr/local/www/nut/file .
I've checked other ports, %%WWWDIR%% is used directly at other
places, so I think when an entry begins with a slash that will
transform to an absolute path, without prepending the PREFIX.
As i think the conditional %%NUT_CGI%% messes this auto-logic
up, and the double-prefix happens.
For now I've fixed this with a workaround, by not setting
the WWWDIR plist variable to WWWDIR, but to www/nut.
I don't consider this a solution, but just a workaround.
My qestions are, how should these situations be handled?
Shouldn't bsd.port.mk export a version for WWWDIR suitable
for PLIST variables?
Sincerely,

obexftp - call for testers
Hi, today I discovered that the RC of obexftp now seems to work on freebsd. I've been able to sync the phonebook and calendar of my SE K750i from the telecom/* sources (which needs synch which in turn is the reason a can not use obexapp). This is a 'works for me' port. I've only been able to test it with 6.2-RELEASE on i386 with only one mobile over bluetooth. I did not test anything else (usb, IR ...). As the working version of obexftp is still unstable, I'm not shure it's even a candidate for a commit. So this call for testing is also a call for comment and feedback.

This situation is already handled in bsd.ports.mk:
WWWDIR_REL?=${WWWDIR:S,^${PREFIX}/,,}

WWWDIR_REL strips off the PREFIX from WWWDIR, and then adds it to
PLIST_SUB. The problem is that sysutils/nut/Makefile has redefined
WWWDIR in PLIST_SUB:
.if !exists(${PREFIX}/www) exists(${PREFIX}/share/apache)
CGIDIR?=share/apache/cgi-bin
WWWDIR?=share/apache/htdocs
.else
CGIDIR?=www/cgi-bin

PLIST_SUB+= NUT_CGI=

PLIST_SUB+= CGIDIR=${CGIDIR}
PLIST_SUB+= CGIETCDIR=etc/nut/
.else
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--without-cgi
PLIST_SUB+= NUT_CGI=@comment
.endif
If you do a make -V PLIST_SUB you'll see the double entry for
WWWDIR. My guess is the WWWDIR defined in sysutils/nut/Makefile is
before the WWWDIR defined in bsd.port.mk, and since substitutions
occur in order, %%WWWDIR%% is being replaced with the wrong one.
The port needs to remove PLIST_SUB+= WWWDIR= from its Makefile.

Don't start kde or konqueror as root either, not even as a file manager. Use ls(1). It's really not reasonable to start more processes than really needed as root. It's one of the most basic Unix credos and there are reasons for it. The primary Unix directive though is to empower the user and let them do whatever they like, including shooting themselves in the foot :) Besides, any (X) desktop should be properly firewalled and occasionally running X or certain X apps as root on it shouldn't be harmful. Though of course, generally I agree that you shouldn't run X or any X app as root. In this particular case, it seems that changing permissions on the appropriate directories (maybe for one special group only and add the user to that group) would be the proper way to solve this. But that's not what the OP asked.
