www/linux-f10-flashplugin10 port has been deleted...........

2012-08-27 Thread Leslie Jensen


I think I missed the information if it's been discussed on the list.



The www/linux-f10-flashplugin10 port has been deleted: Has expired: has 
vulnerabilities and is EOL



How should I do.

Delete it from my machine? How about flash support? Not very important 
but nice to have ;-)

Thanks for the patch (albeit it's incomplete: missing distinfo and

The example from original post of dns/bind99 is rather new,

An older Makefile where MAINTAINER= evolved to no longer repeat Whom:

# ports collection makefile for:hylafax
# Date created: 16 May 1995
# Whom: Julian Stacey j...@freebsd.org
#
# $FreeBSD: ports/comms/hylafax/Makefile,v 1.101 2010/09/19 12:04:42 dinoex Exp 
$

MAINTAINER= din...@freebsd.org


Yes, first line seem disposable, repeating info in PORTNAME PORTVERSION
# ports collection makefile for:hylafax
# New ports collection makefile for:BIND 9.9.x

But Whom  Date are useful on occasion.
  On various other older ports, when I couldnt get response in time
  from MAINTAINER (I don't mean re hylafax), perhaps maintainer on
  holiday,  I couldn't wait for send-pr tiem out,  didnt want to
  invoke send-pr, I fell back succesfully, to contacting the Whom:
  creator, who while no longer regularly motivated to do maintenance,
  could respond without delay  give hints (fallback maintainer).
  
  I presume some other users do that too, but we'd not see evidence
  if people chose not to use send-pr (often a good thing to omit
  initialy, eg when one isnt sure if one has a local mistake or
  misunderstanding, or if there's a generic bug.)

Hiding Whom in meta data would be bad:
  Within a cvs or svn would make it much harder to access. ports.tgz
  comes on CDs etc, all get it.  Less people have cvs, less still
  svn, less svn mirrors, less people (outside commiters) will be
  experienced/familiar with svn compared to cvs.

  Some ports are easy to create, eg my lang/pbasic, but some are
  hard, (eg I'd guess editors/openoffice-3 may have been, One might ask

  comms/hylafax was a lot of work (whatever might show in Makefile,
  getting run time interfaces sorted was Work).

  Let ports creators retain their one line of credit.  Removing it
  would save little  be ungrateful, like removing names out of .c
   .h.  (Some (inc. me) may like noticing in passing who created
  the ports one's working on)).  The credit may encourage some ports
  creators to struggle on, creating sometimes obdurate complex ports
  one might otherwise be tempted to give up on after a not-yet-port
  is just hand built  hand tested localy,

I know several ports where this is the opposite of what the submitter
wants. They've long moved on and do not want to be bothered. Plus it
only adds to frustration to the reporter, who is sending a *2nd* email
to a *2nd* person who may not respond.

   
   I presume some other users do that too, but we'd not see evidence
   if people chose not to use send-pr (often a good thing to omit

You can easily look on freshports.

I actually agree fully with keeping their line of credit. But I disagree
that we should not remove or modify their email address on request from
them.

Which is exactly the reason we should get rid of the whom lines. The
submitter is *not* a fallback maintainer, and some users mistakenly
assume that the whom line is the maintainer. We should be encouraging
users to mail po...@freebsd.org and possibly cc the maintainer if
required.

   Some ports are easy to create, eg my lang/pbasic, but some are
   hard, (eg I'd guess editors/openoffice-3 may have been, One might ask
 # Whom: Martin Blapp

The whom address might be bouncing, the person might be not be using
FreeBSD anymore, or any of the like.

   Let ports creators retain their one line of credit.  Removing it
   would save little  be ungrateful, like removing names out of .c
.h.  (Some (inc. me) may like noticing in passing who created

Interesting argument. But this implies that we should allow the whom
line to be changed by creator request

  # Date created: 16 May 1995
  # Whom: Julian Stacey j...@freebsd.org
  #
  # $FreeBSD: ports/comms/hylafax/Makefile,v 1.101 2010/09/19 12:04:42 dinoex 
  Exp $
  
  MAINTAINER= din...@freebsd.org
  
  
  Yes, first line seem disposable, repeating info in PORTNAME PORTVERSION
  # ports collection makefile for:hylafax
  # New ports collection makefile for:BIND 9.9.x
  
  But Whom  Date are useful on occasion.
On various other older ports, when I couldnt get response in time
from MAINTAINER (I don't mean re hylafax), perhaps maintainer on
holiday,  I couldn't wait for send-pr tiem out,  didnt want to
invoke send-pr, I fell back succesfully, to contacting the Whom:
creator, who while no longer regularly motivated to do maintenance,
could respond without delay  give hints (fallback maintainer).
 
 I know several ports where this is the opposite of what the submitter
 wants. They've long moved on and do not want to be bothered. Plus it
 only adds to frustration to the reporter, who is sending a *2nd* email
 to a *2nd* person who may not respond.

Yes, allow Whom: to request his/her Human name /or email address be deleted.


I presume some other users do that too, but we'd not see evidence
if people chose not to use send-pr (often a good thing to omit
initialy, eg when one isnt sure if one has a local mistake or
misunderstanding, or if there's a generic bug.)
  
  Hiding Whom in meta data would be bad:
Within a cvs or svn would make it much harder to access. ports.tgz
comes on CDs etc, all get it.  Less people have cvs, less still
svn, less svn mirrors, less people (outside commiters) will be
experienced/familiar with svn compared to cvs.
 
 You can easily look on freshports.

I just use what's under freebsd.org domain  (CTM) feeds of src
ports cvs ( now svn).  I've never looked much at Me-Too-For-A-BSD-domains
eg PCBSD freshports etc.  I guessed freshports.org, checked  got
xants type spider gimmick in browser, so closed browser.


Some ports are easy to create, eg my lang/pbasic, but some are
hard, (eg I'd guess editors/openoffice-3 may have been, One might ask 
  # Whom: Martin Blapp
comms/hylafax was a lot of work (whatever might show in Makefile,
getting run time interfaces sorted was Work).
  
Let ports creators retain their one line of credit.  Removing it
would save little  be ungrateful, like removing names out of .c
 .h.  (Some (inc. me) may like noticing in passing who created
the ports one's working on)).  The credit may encourage some ports
creators to struggle on, creating sometimes obdurate complex ports
one might otherwise be tempted to give up on after a not-yet-port
is just hand built  hand tested localy,
 
 I actually agree fully with keeping their line of credit. But I disagree
 that we should not remove or modify their email address on request from
 them.

I always assumed we allowed update  deletion of Whom: via send-pr.
both of human names (which may vary, eg on marriage) /or email

 Which is exactly the reason we should get rid of the whom lines. The
 submitter is *not* a fallback maintainer,

No,
- eg, If MAINTAINER of hylafax had resigned I would have resumed maintenance.
- Creators of others ports have functioned as fallback if asked.
I guess its not an uncommon phenomena, a creator is happy someone
else maintains code, but doesnt want to see a port unsupported
if maintainer response might slip toward timeout  replacement.


 and some users mistakenly
 assume that the whom line is the maintainer.

If global edit is done, we could be more explicit than 
Whom:
 change to eg
Creator (but see MAINTAINER below):


 We should be encouraging
 users to mail po...@freebsd.org and possibly cc the maintainer if
 required.

Ports is high volume; one can get lost in traffic,
sometimes private mail is better, context dependent.


Some ports are easy to create, eg my lang/pbasic, but some are
hard, (eg I'd guess editors/openoffice-3 may have been, One might ask

 The whom address might be bouncing, the person might be not be using
 FreeBSD anymore, or any of the like.

 Interesting argument. But this implies that we should allow the whom
 line to be changed by creator request

I wasnt aware they were not changeable ?. 
I'd assumed it was free text comment, not auto generated ?

The problem seems to be caused by files/patch-gdb-amd64-nat.h, which for some

allows the code to be compilable still (sloppy gdb developers!) but the assumed

Thus, the returned pointer value gets truncated on amd64 and as a result an
invalid pointer is passed to i386_use_watchpoints() from

Oh, looking at the patch in PR ports/165357
(http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=165357), it seems that
amd64bsd_target() should have re-appeared in a new header file

 But that part of the patch seems to be incorrect in that it would create

lang/gcc46 dependency loop on lang/gcc

2012-08-27 Thread Doug Barton
Gerald,

It seems that if lang/gcc46 is installed, and then you attempt to update
it, lang/gcc shows up in the output of build-depends-list,
run-depends-list, or perhaps both. If lang/gcc46 is not installed
already, this doesn't happen.

This would seem to be an error in the bsd.gcc.mk logic, or perhaps an
error in one of the ports' Makefiles, not sure yet. Any chance you could
look into this?

 Gerald,
 
 It seems that if lang/gcc46 is installed, and then you attempt to update
 it, lang/gcc shows up in the output of build-depends-list,
 run-depends-list, or perhaps both. If lang/gcc46 is not installed
 already, this doesn't happen.
 

FWIW, on the machine on which I'm writing this note, I successfully
performed an:

Upgrade of gcc-4.6.4.20120608 to gcc-4.6.4.20120817

yesterday without incident (using portmaster).

The machine is now running:

(and had been updated to that just prior to the portmaster run).

The ports tree is maintained as an SVN working copy; it was @303183
as of the time of the update in question.

The bug is fixed in git and will be in final release.

To workaround you can run make FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=1 install

this will safely reinstall it, and pkg delete will work again.

One limitation I found was if the port has a really long pkg-plist
the `pkg repo' command times are going to the roof.

For example `pkg repo' a folder with metasploit.txz only takes
in a ramdisk and everything else on SSD ~80+ seconds.
Extracting the packages takes ~3s. in RAM or on SSD (pkgng issue #322).

fresh install of kde4 fails - japanese/kiten

2012-08-27 Thread Jim Pazarena

I elected to do a complete re-install of an 8.3 server, and kde4 fails
because of dependencies:
x11/kde4 depends on:
misc/kdeedu4 which depends on:
japanese/kiten  WHICH FAILS

Is there a way to have kde4 -not- use and therefore not depend on
kdeedu4 ? Or not have kdeedu4 depend on kiten?

Can you show the output of `make -C /usr/ports/japanese/kiten -V

This is unrelated to you being the original contributor. It is you,
thankfully, being interested in the port. :)

 - Creators of others ports have functioned as fallback if asked.
 I guess its not an uncommon phenomena, a creator is happy someone
 else maintains code, but doesnt want to see a port unsupported
 if maintainer response might slip toward timeout  replacement.

It is equally common that the creator left the project and the given
address bounces.

  change to eg
 Creator (but see MAINTAINER below):

or just get rid of it, if we are changing things :)

 We should be encouraging
 users to mail po...@freebsd.org and possibly cc the maintainer if
 required.

 Ports is high volume; one can get lost in traffic,
 sometimes private mail is better, context dependent.

this brings up a completely different bikeshed of splitting ports@
into -users and -devel, but not for now. :)

 Alow deletion  update by send-pr

You mean like a maintainer?

If I understand correctly, you want the idea of multiple maintainers.
I am completely for this. It is even trivial to do by adding a comment
just below the MAINTAINER line. This is unrelated to maintaining the
historical originator in the header of the port.

 I wasnt aware they were not changeable ?.
 I'd assumed it was free text comment, not auto generated ?

this is the property which started this discussion. They are currently
the historical address used to submit the port. The address is never
changed.

 have not served a purpose for longer than almost anyone who has a ports
 commit bit has been around. My proposal is simple, let's remove
 everything before the # $FreeBSD$.
 
 In the past when this has been proposed the objection was that it would
 cause too much churn. If we had done this back when we had 5,000 ports
 then we would have solved the problem with less churn, and no drama for
 the 15,000 ports that followed. Every day we don't do this we make the
 churn problem worse, and deepen the roots of something that has no
 relevance.
 
 Can we please just deal with this now and be done with it? ... and yes,
 I am volunteering to help with and/or do the work myself.
