Yes, I am quite aware of it, but I am merely the messenger. Until other subversion mirrors are made available in other parts of the world, only the two in the US are available. I'm sure that will change in time, but for the moment, only the two US mirrors have been announced. why stop a system then when the replacement is not up and running? Do you want to kill the infrastructure to distribute FreeBSD? Looking at it from the practical side if the replacement architecture isn't ready yet then it sounds like this needs to be delayed until such a time that it is. Only having two mirrors and both in the US is not really practical, many of us, in other parts of the globe, will suffer from stupidly long update times; BDP would really have a bad effect on updates, and that's assuming the two servers don't just die under the load of everyone using them. So again please consider delaying the switch over until a decent mirror set is available, in order to prevent serious amounts of frustration from your user base. I think people are getting needlessly worried. There is another six months before this happens; more mirrors should be set up by then.

[patch] Portaudit and PKGNG
PR ports/171406 contains a patch I submitted to make portaudit work with PKGNG: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/171406 It works on my systems, but definitely needs further review. The patch just replaces pkg_info by pkg info and pkg_version by pkg version. This works fine, since PKGNG apparently supports all the required options and kept the output format unchanged compared to the old framework.

For the sake of compatibility a Subversion to CVS exporter is in place which has some limitations. For CVSup mirroring cvsup based on Ezm3 is used which breaks regularly especially on amd64 and with Clang and becomes more and more unmaintainable. What exactly is the motivation again for moving from things which work like cvsup and gcc to things that are broken or lame like subversion and clang? They're not broken. I've recently been using them and they're fine. There has been plenty of discussion about the reasons for the changes so have a read from the various sites and list archives. Looks like a troll to me. No one who has worked with subversion for a project of any size would ever want to go back to CVS. While still having some of CVS's limitations, it does far, far more and is much easier to work with for most things. I really miss the forced commit and, for one application, RANCiD, I use CVS so I can grep through the ,v files easily. But I can't see any reason for FreeBSD not to move the the more advanced system. As to clang, there is no choice there. The license on newer version of gcc (GPLv3) is simply not acceptable to the community, so gcc is stuck forever at 4.2 which is getting very old. clang has excellent development support, an acceptable license, and early tests show that it generally compiles faster and MAY even generate better, faster code. -- R.

I searched quite a bit upon this announcement to find csup svn equivalent guides and found little applying to ports... hopefully they will appear prior to the changeover?, something easily learned? Good point. I found the handbook information adequate, but not as easy to follow as it might be. Guess I'll write one. It's really quite easy and much faster then csup. 1. Install devel/subversion 2. Select US east coast or US west as your server. Pick at random or pick the one closer to you. 3. Rename (mv) ports/distfiles and ports/packages out of /usr/ports 4. rm -r /usr/ports/* 5. svn co http://svn0.us-west.freebsd.org/ports/head /usr/ports OR svn co http://svn0.us-east.freebsd.org/ports/head /usr/ports Ports will now be checked out of the repository and written to /usr/ports 6. make -f /usr/ports/Makefile fetchindex 7. Move ports/distfiles and ports/packages back into /usr/ports. Since these directories are not in the repository, they will be ignored by updates. 7. Update ports as needed with 'svn up /usr/ports' and 'make -f /usr/ports/Makefile fetchindex' This step does the equivalent of csup. 8. Use the Subversion manual from http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ to learn how to other things with svn. Of particular interest is 'svn info /usr/ports and setting up the .subversion file to do things like ignore some directories. If you add private ports to /usr/ports, they will be ignored by svn as they don't exist in the repository. If anyone has suggestions on other things that belong in this list, please let me know.

www/libxul 10 upgrade confusion
I've just updated my ports tree and was about to rebuild updated ports... www/libxul has just been updated from 1.9.2.28 to 10.0.7. There is an entry in UPDATING explaining that the old version has been moved to www/libxul19 for those who want to continue to use it. That's fine. I launched portmaster to kick off the build of updated ports and was presented with an options config screen for www/libxul. All still good. I was then preseneted with an options config screen for www/libxul19. Huh?! It turns out that ports which were dependent upon www/libxul have been updated to depend upon www/libxul19 which, obviously, conflicts with www/libxul. All this appears to have been done in the one commit (r304053) but doesn't make sense to me. It looks like if I want to use any ports which depend upon libxul, then I need to migrate to www/libxul19 and rebuild dependent ports. So, if the new www/libxul is unsuitable for use in libxul-dependent ports, why was the main port upgraded and the new version not introduced as www/libxul10 or something? I must be missing something fundamental but I just can't see the point of this churn/confusion if dependent ports are being pointed at the migrated old port www/libxul19. Thanks to the folks who maintain these complex ports. I'm guessing there are sound reasons for all of this which just haven't been communicated, or I need more caffeine. /me waits to be educated. -- John Marshall pgpvBz9r74LE2.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: Clang as default compiler November 4th
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 As of last week, 4,680 ports out of 23,857 failed to build with clang on 9-amd64. That's almost a 20% failure rate. Until we have better support for either building ports with clang, or have better support for the idea of a ports compiler, this change is premature. The ports are an important part of the FreeBSD Operating _System_, and pulling the trigger on the default compiler before the ports problems are addressed robustly seems like a big fat FU. That said, I agree that this issue needs to be addressed. In fact, 9 months before the release of 9.0 I said on the internal committers list that there was no point in making a new release until we had thoroughly addressed both the default compiler for the base, and resolving the ports compiler issue. While there has been some movement on the former, there has been nothing done on the latter for years now, even though everyone agrees that it is an important issue. I'd like to request that rather than moving the default compiler prematurely that you call for volunteers to address the problems with the ports. Both the issues of fixing more ports to build correctly with clang, and the issue of defining a ports compiler version of gcc (and appropriate infrastructure) for those that can't. Once those issues are resolved there would not be any further obstacles to moving the default. Until they are, the change is premature.

We intend to ship FreeBSD 10.0 with Clang as the default compiler on i386 and amd64 platforms. To this end, we will make WITH_CLANG_IS_CC the default on i386 and amd64 platforms on November 4th. What does the mean to you? * When you build world after the default is changed /usr/bin/cc, cpp, and c++ will be links to clang. * This means the initial phase of buildworld and old style kernel compilation will use clang instead of gcc. This is known to work. * It also means that ports will build with clang by default. A major of ports work, but a significant number are broken or blocked by broken ports. For more information see: http://wiki.freebsd.org/PortsAndClang What issues remain? * The gcc-clang transition currently requires setting CC, CXX, and CPP in addition to WITH_CLANG_IS_CC. I will post a patch to toolchain@ to address this shortly. * Ports compiler selection infrastructure is still under development. * Some ports could build with clang with appropriate tweaks. What can you do to help? * Switch (some of) your systems. Early adoption can help us find bugs. * Fix ports to build with clang.
