Good idea, I’m on it.

The only documentation is the README.md file. You might drop the
maintainer, vi...@karlsen.tech, a note suggesting that it be installed into
/usr/local/share/doc/foid-zone-tools and a line to that effect be added to
pkg-descr.

You can find the file at https://github.com/cyclaero/void-zones-tools. It
tells you pretty much everything you need to know.

FreeBSD Port: void-zones-tools-1.0.2

2017-08-26 Thread Ernie Luzar
Installed the port today. No manual included or any information about 
how to use it. The port really should have man pages and a pkg-message 
file containing info about where to look for usage info.

Call for testing VMware open-vm-tools update

2017-08-26 Thread Josh Paetzel
VMware has been contributing to making FreeBSD a first class citizen for
their open source vmware tools.

As a continuing part of this contribution there's a new version of
open-vm-tools in the works.  The INO64 work in FreeBSD HEAD broke
building open-vm-tools for HEAD/i386, and there was a kernel panic that
affected HEAD/amd64.  That has been addressed and vmware has started QA
for the tools for FreeBSD 11.1-R and 10.3-R  amd64 and i386.

I've given this update a fair amount of testing and it gets a "works on
my machine" certification from me.

The new version is available as a port at
https://people.freebsd.org/~jpaetzel/open-vm-tools.tar.gz . Feel free to
give it a spin and please report any issues by filing a bug at
https://bugs.freebsd.org/   If you tag the bug you create as ports
emulators/open-vm-tools it will get auto-assigned to me.

Thanks,

Re: screen, ncurses and ncurses.mk

2017-08-26 Thread Walter Schwarzenfeld
I removed the ncurses port. Had to recompile a lot of ports (but not all 
411).


(Conky pulled ncurses:ports in. I compiled conky only

with USES=ncurses. It seems to work).

Solved.

Re: screen, ncurses and ncurses.mk

2017-08-26 Thread Walter Schwarzenfeld

I think ncurses.mk set the default to ncurses:base.

There is no entry in for ncurses in /etc/make.conf.

If the default is base, I think I don't need a entry in /etc/make.conf.

But it seems my system uses ncurses:ports.

Why this?

It is not clear what means onyl Uses=ncurses.

If I try pkg delete ncurses I got:

umber of packages to be removed: 411

No, python uses ncurses,  it doesn't require the one from ports.
Only 3 or 4 anecdotal ports require ncurses from ports.

screen, ncurses and ncurses.mk

2017-08-26 Thread Walter Schwarzenfeld

The maintainer of sysutils/screen changed to USES=ncurses:base.

This will not work if ncurses:ports is installed (python uses it).

Ncurses.mk has:

if exists(${LOCALBASE}/lib/libncurses.so)

followed by a warning and exit.

So no port can install ncurses:base if ncurses:ports is installed.
