Re: Problems with updating a port due to top directory in tarball
On 2021-03-04 00:00, Kevin Oberman wrote: I'm trying to update a port I maintain. Since I last updated, it moved from ISC to github and it uses unusual naming conventions. The distfile is "irrtoolset/archive/release-5.1.3.tar.gz". I can work around this with a DIST_SUBDIR and DISTNAME, but when the extract takes place, the top directory in the tarball is "irrtoolset-release-5.1.3". Since this is not expected, patch fails. Is there a way to specify the name of the restore directory? Or to rename it after the extract phase? I'd use the post-extract target, but maybe there's a better way. Since loading the "Porter's Handbook" as a single file seems to not be an option any longer, it is harder to search through the whole thing, I may have missed an simple way to deal with this.

Removing sysutils/polkit dependency from sysutils/libudisks?
Several months ago, someone (swills@ IIRC) asked me to look into removing the sysutils/polkit dependency from sysutils/libudisks which I maintain. I just had a chance to look at that request and it would require at least removing the udisksctl utility from the default options and possibly removing it from the build altogether. However, its presence in the default options was expressly requested in https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=240138#c18 when I was initially porting libudisks. Is the request for removal still relevant? I think it was made with an eye toward removing sysutils/polkit altogether. If it is relevant, does it warrant removing udisksctl, which I found useful for port smoke testing and troubleshooting, in addition to the reasons for its presence listed in the Bugzilla comment linked above? ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Well, git help hook says: post-receive This hook is invoked by git-receive-pack(1) when it reacts to git push and updates reference(s) in its repository. It executes on the remote repository once after all the refs have been updated. This hook executes once for the receive operation. It takes no arguments, but gets the same information as the pre-receive hook does on its standard input. This hook does not affect the outcome of git receive-pack, as it is called after the real work is done. [...] But perhaps I'm reading too much about the (lack of) consequences for failures from that specific hook into that. Perhaps we could sweep the tree at certain intervals and notify maintainers when a new entry is added. Perhaps.

RFD: proposed new (likely virtual) category, education
This category would comprise ports that are mainly educational in nature or purpose, such as: - course-writing or course-delivery applications, - classroom or school management applications (eg, scheduling classes), - applications, utilities, or games primarily or substantially designed to help the user learn a specific topic or study in general, like typing tutors, flashcard applications, or educational games. This category would be useful because some of these applications are in non-obvious categories, making them hard to find if you don't already know about them. For instance, if I had not already known about anki or mnemosyne, I don't think it would have occurred to me to look for them under games. Based on a search of the port tree for the strings "educat" and "learn" and weeding out obvious false positives, the following 72 ports appear to belong in that category: astro/marble astro/nightfall biology/figtree biology/py-scikit-bio cad/basicdsp cad/feappv cad/logisim comms/gtkmmorse deskutils/docear deskutils/fet devel/elfkickers devel/raylib devel/thonny emulators/edumips64 games/anki games/colobot games/crashtest games/crrcsim games/gcompris-qt games/kanagram games/katomic games/nimuh games/py-mnemosyne games/robocode games/robocode-naval games/tuxmath games/tuxtype graphics/geomview graphics/libreatlas japanese/kiten japanese/slimeforest lang/kturtle math/R-cran-LearnBayes math/analitza math/geogebra math/geonext math/kalgebra math/kbruch math/kig math/kmplot math/octave-forge-ltfat math/rocs math/timbl math/ump misc/artikulate misc/kdeedu misc/kgeography misc/klettres misc/ktouch misc/kwordquiz misc/lingoteach misc/parley misc/pauker misc/py-orange3-educational multimedia/projectx net/ns3 print/jabref science/fisicalab science/kalzium science/libccp4 science/py-qspin science/step sysutils/hourglass textproc/popup textproc/py-nltk www/efront www/ilias www/ilias6 www/moodle35 www/moodle37 www/moodle38 www/moodle39 Observant readers will notice that there are 10 misc/* ports in that category.
