Okay. No sweat. I'll work on getting a port patch going as that seems
it would be the easiest way to push this out. I'll provide a download
as
soon as I have something available for testing.
Sounds good, thank you for your work on ports!
-Reko
So, after a bit of testing (and not being able to update the port
for PHP7 due to Smarty issues), below is a simple patch that will keep
the current port version of Maia (1.0.4_3) working with PHP7 (testing
with PHP 7.2). Please let me know if this does not work or if there is
anything else that needs to be added or changed. Hopefully, I'll get the
Smarty issue(s) sorted out soon and have a new port submitted.

Essentially, you just need to remove the "[]" from "rectmp" on
line 558 in your /usr/local/www/maia/cache.php file.
Also, if you're interested in seeing/testing the new port (from
the latest Github commit for technion's maia_mailguard), you can
download the patch from the link below [1] and let me know if it's
successful for you. Everything seems to work except for the WebUI due to
a fatal call to Smarty which I cannot figure out (I'm not a PHP
developer). However, once that is sorted, I should be ready to submit
the new port so Maia can be updated to the latest version.

Hi Paul,
Not finished yet! Sorry. I was actually working on this the other
night (after the port freeze) but ran into a snag of sorts. I'll
submit it today, though.
I'm actually looking forward to using this software myself.

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for all of this info. regarding the port changes that
should be done. I haven't played with the port system in a while so
I'm definitely a bit rusty and I'm sure there have been many
changes (Hence the Apache 2.0 bit... :o!) Anyhow, I had to skip
town for a few days for something EXTREMELY important (golf...) but
I will try to get this fixed and submitted within the next few
days.

I've attached a port (in tar.gz form) which is the
FrontAccounting port for FreeBSD. I've tested it a few
times and it seems to work perfectly fine. If someone wants
to test this before I submit, that would be great.
Otherwise, I'll submit some time tomorrow.
Thanks for porting, install works well.
On de-installing before running the install wizard there are
unable to delete errors for www/frontaccounting/config_db.php
www/frontaccounting/config.default.php
Yup, the plist has the correct @unexec and @exec lines, but of
course the @exec lines only apply if installing from a package.
For installation from the port;
post-install: .for conf in config%.php config_db%.php ${CP} -np
${PREFIX}/www/frontaccounting/${conf:S,%,.default} \
${PREFIX}/www/frontaccounting/${conf:S,%,,} .endfor
will do nicely.
After a full install including the web install wizard there
are delete errors for

Perhaps @dirrmtry might be of help
Also unable to build a package as cannot find config_db.php
Trying the usual portmaster reinstall fails to create a backup
package and so has to prompt to ignore the error, the
reinstall succeeds successfully.
Should be a great addition to the ports, Alan
I think these errors can mostly be traced to the missing
Makefile lines :)

Re: Why Are You NOT Using FreeBSD?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi Erich, FreeBSD is in no way intended to be used by computer newcomers. If they're comfortable with Windows, then they should use it. If someone wants to try using FreeBSD and runs into issues, that is what the forums, mailing lists, FreeBSD Handbook, and many other resources are for. That being said, there is no reason for FreeBSD to be more user-friendly when it comes to installing older ports. That just sounds ridiculous in itself. If someone wants to use an older port, they can download it manually or using something like portdowngrade. Of course, this becomes a serious security risk (depending on the port) but FreeBSD will still allow anyone to do this. If this simply isn't good enough, then perhaps the user should think about trying to use a different OS.

If they're comfortable with Windows, then they should use it. If someone wants to try using FreeBSD and runs into issues, that is what the forums, mailing lists, FreeBSD Handbook, and many other resources are for. a person who operated Windows for some years does not see him/herself as a newcomer but still fails on FreeBSD. The word goes around then that FreeBSD is bad. This is fine, actually. As mentioned, it's not intended for individuals that want everything handed to them on a silver platter. Anyone who labels FreeBSD as bad because they aren't familiar with it is an idiot, IMO. This isn't Microsoft, no matter how much people might want it to be. And, it never will be. Use this list if you have questions about ports. Is that really so difficult for people to do? If so, no big deal. The FreeBSD developers, contributors and maintainers are not here to hold people's hands. We're here to help people help themselves... That being said, there is no reason for FreeBSD to be more user-friendly when it comes to installing older ports. That just sounds ridiculous in itself. If someone wants to use an older port, they can download it manually or using something like portdowngrade. Of course, this becomes a serious security risk (depending on the port) but FreeBSD will still allow anyone to do this. If this simply isn't good enough, then perhaps the user should think about trying to use a different OS. You are really working hard to keep the FreeBSD installations low. It does not help FreeBSD if it is believed to be an elite operating system. Linux is by no way less complex and still many more people us it. Why? FreeBSD *IS* an elite operating system. By elite I don't mean what most people will think I mean. I'm simply stating that it takes a reasonable amount of time to grow comfortable with it. Along with any UNIX-like OS. If it were really simple to use, everyone would be using it, right? And Linux, as far as I'm concerned is more complex than FreeBSD. Especially it's package management. I don't like the idea of having no choices when I install an application. Of course, I could go WAY out of my way to create, build, and install an SRPM, but bugger that! It's not easy! Linux is only thought of as easy because of the graphical installer and the fact that it installs X out of the box. FreeBSD used to do that, actually. Back in the 4.X days you could choose to install XFree86 and KDE, Gnome, etc... But, that was a waste of valuable disk space in the long run.

Re: Introducing fpart - a file partitioning tool
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi Ganael, On 01/06/2012 03:36 AM, Ganael LAPLANCHE wrote: Hi everyone, Have you ever wondered how you could split a file tree into parts of the same size, or into parts with a limited size or file number ? I have developed a small BSD-licensed tool called fpart that can do that for you (see http://contribs.martymac.org and https://sourceforge.net/projects/fpart). This small C program will crawl a given set of file or directory paths, organize them and print resulting partitions. This can be useful to e.g. launch several rsync(1) in parallel or store files on media of limited size. Here are some examples : 1) Produce 3 partitions, with (approximatively) the same size and number of files : $ fpart -n 3 -o var-parts /var 2) Produce partitions of 4.4 GB, containing music files ready to be burnt to a DVD : $ fpart -s 4724464025 -o music-parts /path/to/my/music 3) Produce partitions containing 1 files each by examining /usr and /home : $ find /usr ! -type d | ./fpart -f 1 -i - /home | grep '^0:' The tool is already available in ports (sysutils/fpart) but has also successfully been used on GNU/Linux. Enjoy ! Best regards, PS : comment and patches are, of course, welcome :) Awesome! This seems like a great idea! Thanks!

In normal English 'X is a dependency of Y' means Y is necessary for X (X depends on Y) I'm not sure why you believe this to be true. Because it is a fact. Can you give examples from non-technical English prose, and some dictionary definitions to back up your claim? I am a little hurt that my own authority does not suffice for both the New York Times Book Review and the Time Literary Supplement (that's in London, y'all) have remarked on my mastery of the English language. But much more than that, I am appalled at the state of education in this country that you do not immediately recognize for yourself that my point is correct, once I have made it. There are two senses of 'dependency' in normal English. One means 'the state of dependence, (MWCD11th expresses this as being a synonym for DEPENDENCE; this is the oldest sense in English because MWCD11th lists senses in historical order), and the other is something that is dependent on something else. Well, okay, there are three senses, as there is a relatively recent one meaning a small building (such as a stable, garage, or bike shed) adjacent to a larger one. Almost all of the examples I turn up from grepping my corpus relate to international relations except for the most recent entries where it is bound to 'Chemical.' Well, 'chemical dependency' is perfectly common modern English and of course it does not mean the chemical depends on the user, but just the opposite. So in normal English, if I write myperlscript.pl, it is a dependency of perl. My script cannot run without perl, but perl can go on happily without my script. Perl does not depend on my script, so it is not the dependency. My script does depend on perl, so my script is the dependency. The correct word for what computer people call a dependency is 'requisite.' Perl is a requisite of my script. My script is a dependency of perl. Why is there such a thing as emacs cramp? Because the person who wrote it considered himself such a genius that he did not have to think of ergonomics and so bound just about everything to ^X and ^C and combinations thereof (and subsequent geniuses have made the possibly of remapping merely theoretical). Why are most editors and word processors just about unusable (out of the box) for writers? Because programmers are such geniuses, the idea of consulting working writers before they begin such a project seems laughable to them. And that is why ports uses 'dependency' exactly backwards -- the authors are such geniuses that they cannot be bothered to open a dictionary for themselves. I can think of a case in point. Now it is possible that once upon a time there was a programmer who knew what dependency meant, and he might have said something like My script has a dependency on perl. That is accurate, but very awkward compared with Perl is a requisite of my script. And perhaps that awkward expression was passed around among the programmerlings, as in the game gossip, until it became Perl is a dependency of my script, which is dead wrong, so if my script is a port, and perl is missing, the report stale dependency is entirely misleading. My script is the dependency. It is not stale. It is missing its requisite, namely perl. It is a constant source of confusion for native speakers of English, and to a degree a source of amusement that documentation which has not yet been expressed in correct English is being translated into dozens of languages which take up space in machines that accept the default install.
