net/haproxy doesn't stop all processes
Hi all,
I recently installed haproxy and I am in the process of configuring
redundant load balancers and I discovered a bug in the haproxy shutdown
sequence. For some reason the first PID in /var/run/haproxy is the only
one that gets a kill signal when you shutdown. In order to reproduce this
behavior you will have to increase the number of haproxy processes with
the following setting:
nbproc 4 # Number of processes
I can get it to kill cleanly from the shell but when I modify the
pre_stop() it still doesn't work. Any thoughts?
Current rc script for those who don't have it installed is below.
Regards,
Mark

Re: ports/158179: some packages do not fully honor -P dir option in pkg_add(1)
1. Spell out very clearly its purpose - is it to populate a jail, for example? Populating a chroot/jail is one purpose. Whoops, it occurs to me that using -P to populate a chroot/jail would only work for simple cases. There is the -C option, but it needs to be a fairly complete file system, including everything normally needed by pkg_add to run which could be problematic, as you may want the chroot/jail to have the absolute minimum possible. So to populate a chroot/jail we'd want to be able to specify two directories: one for the real path, and one for the after-chrooting path. The -c option is available. Say a package has the binary bin/foo and the config file etc/foo.conf. 1) Pkg_add would install /usr/local/bin/foo and /usr/local/etc/foo.conf. 2) Pkg_add -P /bar would install /bar/bin/foo and /bar/etc/foo.conf. 3) Pkg_add -c /chroot would install /chroot/bin/foo and /chroot/etc/foo.conf. 4) Pkg_add -c /chroot -P /bar would install /chroot/bar/bin/foo and /chroot/bar/etc/foo.conf. In cases 2 and 4, the foo binary would have to have some way to know to look for foo.conf in /bar/etc rather than /usr/local/etc. Perhaps CONFIG_PATH ? But in the general case, we'd need a lot of *PATHs. Or a way to set PREFIX at install time. (But how?)

I agree about the chroot option, though; I do not see any reason that one would ever use -P rather than -C for populating a jail from the outside. Another is to test a new version of a package without messing up the existing version. it will mess up the database either One would just use a different database. As I said, that makes sense.

a) libgcrypt b) perl
Apologies for two subjects. 1... After rebuilding ports recently, a ldd recursing of usr/local/bin discovers a whole slew of ports which should have also had their versions minor bumped. Most of those, libgcrypt.so ... although maybe fewer than those found in actuality, though maybe not. Examples: grip, brasero, epiphany (the latter also missing the icu bump), 2... Disheartened by the perl 5.12.3 5.12.4 bump; I've figured how to upgrade (for some reason perl-after-upgrade does little on these machines), but the time to do so seems excessive. perl5/5.12.3 perl5/site_perl/5.12.3 in the past have had files remaining after upgrade. Additionally, running pkg_which on all those files at those two locations, shows only one-fifth of the ports found by grepping /var/db/pkg/ for p5. (reason unknown). So while I can plan to forestall or solve slowly the upgrade, for persons wishing to install freebsd, and eventually have a lot of perl ports installed, some easier more foolproof upgrade method may be desired. ... Usually I'd recc. portmaster, but two issues with it upgrading perl (fetches hanging forever, and wholesale upgrades halting midway, partway etc,) seem to sometimes make it less useful if one has many p5- ports installed. ... Neither really a problem here, but someone has run into the same issues and can cobble together a fix (or both) of some sort? towards making a desktop more recommendable... J.
