Re: Share SVN or something for people working on the ports together
On Sat, 22 Jan 2011 19:50:52 +0300, Subbsd wrote: Hello. I think - maybe it's a good idea to create something like sourceforge place but only for FreeBSD ports. A place online where some people can work together for port, not individually as it is now. For example, I decided to port libXXX on FreeBSD. One of the problem - i do not know -does over this someone. So I created a project and start some work. No matter - can I finish it or not - has registered and begun work. Other people see - cool, someone has already started work on it. Once registered, they can also correct or add to my work. This is to prevent a situation where a dozen independent people start trying to port libXXX and everyone stumbles on its own problems. Not all of us are professionals and have the same knowledge, but work together more efficient. That's why it is always good to search first if someone has already worked on porting libXXX. Sometimes there is already a PR with a new port that just hasn't been committed yet or people stopped working on it at a specific build problem. Most of the time i see this happening with small ports that are not that much of work. For bigger projects I try to keep the wiki page http://wiki.freebsd.org/WantedPorts up to date. There you see the status of such a port and who is working on it. I won't cover all of them but I can always add more if people tell me. But it only makes sense if people know about that page and check it before starting to work on a bigger porting effort. -- Bernhard Froehlich http://www.bluelife.at/ ___ 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

HPLIP 3.10.9 problems on FreeBSD 8.1

Before I committed this update, I have tested lsof 4.85A on 8.1 and

I don't think it is reasonable to remove the patch and prevent 8.1
users from using lsof.
At least, tinderbox running 8.1 requires lsof to work.

fwiw, lsof is optional for tinderbox, the port just happens to list it

Very Important Note on HP LaserJet P1102 on FreeBSD
Hi dear FreeBSD people, After spending a lot of time on making my HP LaserJet P1102 work on FreeBSD, I found out what the problem is!!! Please tell this to anybody who has problems with HP P1102 on FreeBSD! The problem with this HP model is that it has a fake CD-ROM which contains the Windows drivers. The USB must actually be switched from the CD-ROM mode to the Printer mode in order to work. Otherwise, the printer will not work whatever you do. /dev/ulpt0 will not show up either. --- The workaround is this: You must (unfortunately) connect the printer to a Windows system and run SIUtility.exe or SIUtility64.exe from the UTIL folder in the Driver CD-ROM (physical CD-ROM that comes with the printer not the fake one) and completely disable this HP Smart Install feature. After disabling this feature, everything will be fine on FreeBSD and life will be more beautiful. * Please pass this info on blogs, wikis, ... . I do not want other FreeBSD fans suffer this pain. Good luck ___ 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
