Possibly unbuildable ports reminder
Dear porters, This is just a reminder to please periodically check the list of unbuildable ports at http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/ . A list by MAINTAINER is http://people.freebsd.org/~fenner/errorlogs/ so you can easily check the status of ports that you maintain. In addition, the list of ports with no MAINTAINER with build problems is http://people.freebsd.org/~fenner/errorlogs/po...@freebsd.org.html Since no one is responsible for these ports, the problem won't get fixed unless someone on this list takes the initiative. Thanks for your help!

The idea is that if we log all writes to the fulesystem during port installation, we don't need intermediate directory at all. Okay, so if we go with your approach, then can you tell me how do you plan to go about logging writes to filesystem with your .so which you're planning to preload as you mentioned in one of your mails in this thread ? The idea is to redefine functions that execute syscalls which will modify the filesystem add add loging there. Here's a test code http://www.amdmi3.ru/files/ldpreload.c. Compile it into shared lib and run `LD_PRELOAD=path_to_lib.so someapp`. Cool, this works great :) . It turned out to be not the best solution as it relies on environment heavily, and some apps may clear the environment (scons does this by default), or call syscalls via syscall(), instead of libc wrapper, thus it's not reliable enough. Another way is ptrace, which should intercept syscalls without fail. So, we're going with ptrace way, lets hope this way is foolproof :) .

APNG patch for graphics/png port
Hello,
I recently played with building Thunderbird 3.0b1 from source (it works
pretty well, btw). I was playing with some of the options to enable
using the system versions of a number of libraries, rather than relying
upon statically linking them into the project.
One thing that I noticed was the APNG patch from here:
* http://littlesvr.ca/apng/.
This seems to be expected by Thunderbird and is part of the latest
source tree. Mozilla has been maintaining a format spec here:
* https://wiki.mozilla.org/APNG_Specification
Sadly the patch has lagged behind the latest releases of libpng. I
merged the patch into the latest version (1.2.33) that we use, and have
made an appropriate change to the port files of graphics/png. I think
that APNG support from libpng may be useful in other software as well.
I am attaching the patch, to apply in /usr/ports, for anyone to test. So
far it doesn't seem to regress anything for me, and I can use
thunderbird 3 with --with-system-png=/usr/local in my .mozconfig. I'd
like to see some other testers, and get a comment from the graphics/png
maintainer.

Problem using GNU autotools
Hi, I'm in trouble updating a port. The configuration / compilation and install manually from the console works fine. When I try to integrate it in a port Makefile, some configure scripts fail whit this message : [...] configure: warning: build_alias=amd64-portbld-freebsd6.3: invalid host type configure: error: can only configure for one host and one target at a time [...] As I can see this is caused by configuration scrpts generated by 2 versions of autoconf (2.13 and 2.61), who doesn't handle the same options. Looking inside the subdirectories I discover few Makefine.am or config.ac, but not all are in. So I can't use the alternative way to generate the makefiles... It looks weird, but how can I handle this properly ? - I remember you ./configure without options works fine - Cheers, Rodrigo OSORIO ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Porter is poor replacement for developer, especially considering lots of security holes libpng long history. That is a good point, though the author of libpng suggests the MNG format for animated graphics (and JNG as a jpeg version). This leads me to believe that he's probably uninterested in actually incorporating the APNG patch into libpng. Honestly, I don't understand why the mozilla people have decided to push this APNG standard now. Maybe I'll just go and post into that mozilla issue a complain about wasting development time on an unfinished spec that seems like a reimplementation of MNG. I'll write to Greg (author) and see what he says. This is one of those annoying points in software evolution where big entity A begins spreading around a patched version of Author B's software, which may end up rivaling Author B's implementation of the patch's functionality. -- Coleman Kane signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
