Re: My interactive version of pkg_add

First, congratulations to Marin Atanasov for having completed his program! As far as i understand, Marin's goal was simpler that an upgrade tool for binary packages, it was simply an install tool, allowing to choose interactively on various repositories. I think this goal is fulfilled and is useful. For upgrading, the situation is vastly more complicated, indeed one needs to read MOVED and use information here, in particular follow the name changes of ports. For example you may have a port whose proper upgrade has a different name, etc. or ports have disappeared, etc. I am not even sure that a completely bullet proof system can be written within the limits of the present FreeBSD ports system. I am quite sure that one of the keys of Marcin's success is having limited his aims. Similarly the excellent portmaster tool for upgrading owes its success to strict limitation to upgrade from source, using the available preexisting pkg_* tools - plus a lot of polishing. Yeap, as Michel Talon noticed I'm not trying to create a package upgrade tool, but just a tool for installing packages in an interactive manner. I think that there are already enough and good package upgrade tools - portmaster for example would do the job. My program is designed to make easier the process of finding and install the packages. I've written some functions which search for a file pattern when we are performing a local and remote search - then the information is being stored in a stack and at the end of the code we have a single system() call which executes `pkg_add [pkgname]'. So if one have looked at the code will see that actually my program gives the interactive interface and for installing - it uses the existing pkg_add tool. Other pkg_* commands could be supported by the program, but I don't see a use of it - except maybe the purpose mentioned above for a package upgrade tool. Btw, what would you say about this name `pkg_add_it' - 'pkg_add Interactive Tool'? :) Cheers, Marin -- Marin Atanasov dnaeon AT gmail DOT com daemon AT unix-heaven DOT org ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Call for Testing KDE-4.1.2
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Howdy! The KDE team released KDE-4.1.2 two days later than planned. We are in a ports slush and can?t update KDE until it?s ended. If you can?t wait to get KDE 4.1.2, you can now download it from our area51 repo. The full KDE changelog can be seen here [1]. We removed FAM support completely.

Re: My interactive version of pkg_add - finished!
Hi, list - it's me again :) I was wondering how to create a man page for my program. I was looking over the web, and found similar questions already posted, but they all suggest that you take an existing copy of a man page and edit it for your needs. Isn't there a guide or something on how to create you own manual page for FreeBSD?

Request Tracker 3.8.1
I created a new port for version 3.8.1 of Request Tracker. Before I submit a PR and get it added into svn, I want to see if I can find some people to help test it out since RT is a fairly complex application. I have had it up and running for a little over a day and so far I seems to be working as expected. Also, I stripped out the MULTIPLE_INSTANCES support, mainly because I don't use it and needed to get rt38 up and running as quickly as possible. As time permits, I will add it back it, but its not as simple as it seems because, mainly because the patches no longer cleanly apply.
