net/rsync: WITH_FLAGS to be the default?
Dear Emmanuel, why is fileflags patch disabled by default in FreeBSD rsync port? Of course, I have this tweaked on my local package builder, but I do not see any significant downsides on all supported (and even a bit obsolete, like 6.*) branches of FreeBSD. Or, did I missed something obvious? Any comments?

Re: Standard file permissions for /usr/local
Given there is no context as to what these are and belong to the numbers below with the symbolic meaning are useless besides saying the system is Oops, thought I had that noted. They are sort | uniq -c of the permission column of find -ls. Blindly going through installed software with a massively large comb chmod -R anything=anything is a bad idea Bad idea? Not really, I amended my tree as shown. As you can see, I have about 80k files, 2k dirs and 2k links. All provided by 'packages'. And out of those, I only need one divergent perm, that being Xorg, not thousands. I've no sensitive files there. I don't need man to go around making catpages. Nor sticky dirs for games. Nor Schily's stuff in the bin group. Or polkit priviledges. Or whatever else. As any admin, I know the environment and files, so I'm good with the comb and pomade. And it makes linting installs, security checks and other things simpler if say you find / -perm +0044 and don't have to wade through say, symlinks set to go+w. Or have some other install fail because files aren't writeable. I amed it to reduce my working sets, and work, with other tools easier. And to making finding what changes out from under you easier, etc. No big deal, and not a debate about anyone's equally valid local usage. Maybe I should rephrase... is there something, or a movement within ports, to push mass gobs of files towards mode 0444 or 0644? A umask being set in the build system? An install flag? Or is this just the raw result of doing everything [1] unmodified umask 0022, tarring up the tbz's, and putting them on FTP? [1] Say, patch, ./configure, make, make install, hash +CONTENTS, tarball My experience with ./configure, make, make install of original upstream software releases, is that I think the majority of things end up as I've amended, without the amending. So I just wondered if there's a push in ports somewhere. Do you have anything relevant as to a particular port or package ? This was a stats analysis, so particulars do not apply. ___ 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

texi2html problem
Johan, I've run into a problem with the latest version of texi2html. I have this in my environment: LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 Building texi2html without NLS results in this: texi2html Undefined subroutine Locale::Messages::dgettext called at /usr/local/bin/texi2html line 29628. If I build with NLS it works, but I get this repeatedly during the install: msgexec: warning: Locale charset UTF-8 is different from input file charset ASCII. Output of 'msgexec' might be incorrect. Possible workarounds are: - Set LC_ALL to a locale with encoding ASCII. - Convert the translation catalog to UTF-8 using 'msgconv', then apply 'msgexec', then convert back to ASCII using 'msgconv'. The upside is that after install it does work. It would also be useful if you could make real options out of what you have in the file already.

Currently I use portsnap for the ports tree and csup for base-system source and doc (/usr/src and /usr/doc). FYI, csup is faster than portsnap for medium to large amounts of changes (and proportionally faster the older your tree), and with the -s option, which it's safe to use routinely if you don't mess with the files) its also faster than portsnap for small changes. , I am also not sufficiently familiar with the internals of cvs and svn to say which is better and why For users who only are checking sources out, they are comparable. If you're making local changes svn is probably faster, but not enough to make a large difference. Where the benefits of svn come into play are primarily for committers. Although, if we can get buy-in from the PTB to allow projects branches in ports svn then testing things like the new X11 could be as simple as one command to update your main tree, and then one more to merge in the code to test.
