Standard questions:

1. O which architectures did you test this?
2. Did you send a PR?
3. The port currently has no maintainer. Would you like to take it? :-)

pkg_create: replace files in package?

2008-10-10 Thread clemens fischer
hi,

I am packaging up a few ports for a nanobsd based USB stick.  Some of
the programs are "quite right", but I need to replace or add files.  For
example, the elinks text browser port version is often lagging, so
I build it manually from newer sources and use the resulting binaries
instead of the packages'.

Since the MD5 checksum of my modified binary doesn't match, nanobsds
pkg_add command might fail.  What I want to do is find a simple way of
using some form of pkg_create invocation as easy as "pkg_create -R -b
...", but at the same time replacing or even adding some files.  How can
this be done?

FreeBSD Port: opera-9.60.20081004

2008-10-10 Thread Nikolaj Thygesen

When running the new opera 2.60 on fbsd, it will try to launch:

   /usr/local/share/opera/bin/operapluginwrapper.linux

which doesn't exist. Another wrapper:

   /usr/local/share/opera/bin/operapluginwrapper.freebsd

does exist though. I guess this is the one to really call?!

   br - N :o)

Re: VirtualBox looks for FreeBSD developer

2008-10-10 Thread Dmitry Marakasov
Hi!

Little time ago I was misleaded by the certain people and got an
idea that VirtualBox actually works on FreeBSD, so I've made a draft
port for it. It doesn't actually work, but since I've spent several
hours hacking it and made bunch of (likely) useful patches, here
it is, feel free to use it for any purpose. I hope someone of kernel
hackers will make it work actually ;)

Summary:
- installation doesn't work
- only 7.0 (7.x maybe) / i386 is supported
- VM doesn't run
- You'll be able to run QT4 GUI and some tests if you're lucky :)

See README.txt inside for additional details.

This suggests that firefox3 is using the non-threadsafe db functions in libc.

Is it possible to build firefox3 without them, or replace them with a newer
version of Berkeley DB that is threadsafe?

UPDATE: claws-mail-3.6.1 has now been released. Waiting a few days
before releasing the initial 3.6.x version seems to have been a good
idea. Several annoying bugs apparently were squashed.
