Well, there is the option of running a pkg query before and after
the upgrade and comparing the results... especially if you write it in
a higher-level language than the shell, it Should Not Be Too Hard(tm) to
figure out which packages have changed their version, what new ones have
appeared, which ones have been removed...

But, yeah, it is certainly easy for me to suggest that somebody else
write something "simple" :)

Hmm, I could be wrong, but isn't ${LOCALBASE} supposed to be where
ports find stuff *during the build*, and ${PREFIX} where they
install the built files?  Of course, I haven't actually touched
a FreeBSD ports build in years, so I might very likely be wrong.
I also seem to remember a series of test port builds done a long
time ago with a different value for LOCALBASE, specifically to catch
ports that do not honor the policy in this regard.

Errr, ICBW (one needs to look at the history of the port), but in
FreeBSD a -devel version of the port is usually created when somebody
wants to be able to install a version that is currently under
development and yet keep the ability for normal users to use the stable
version.  In these cases, a second port is created (once upon a time
this was done by a repository copy to preserve the port's history) that
is exactly the same as the first one, and then the port maintainer
updates the second port (the -devel one) to a newer version.

G'luck,
Peter

FWIW, this is my personal opinion, too.  The FreeBSD Ports Collection is
supposed to be self-sufficient:
- anything a port needs should be available as, well, another port
- any changes to what a port needs should be vetted by the maintainer at
  the time of updating the port
- anybody should, at any time, be able to find out what a port depends
  on and what other ports depend on it using only "static" information
  from the ports tree

That last point is pretty important for people who maintain ports of
libraries or other widely-used software: sometimes, when preparing an
update to a new upstream version with important changes, it is very nice
to be able to test by yourself if these changes will break other ports
that depend on yours (or, of course, drop an e-mail to the maintainers
of these other ports saying "hey, here's a proposed update to my port,
could you check if it'll break yours?").

This sounds like the way to go.  The Debian Perl group has a tool that
goes by many names, but in at least one of its incarnations, cpan2deb,
it does exactly that - downloads a package from the CPAN archive,
examines its metadata files to find out what it needs, looks for these
dependencies in the Debian package archive, and outputs a skeleton of
a package that has these dependencies listed in the proper fields.
Of course, it may also do this later, after the package has been updated
and its dependencies have changed.

G'luck,
Peter

 The issue is that BSD make (in stable/10) passes set -e to the shell

 I submitted the details and a fix:
 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=184170

Hmm, even if this is so, I wonder if there would not be another funny
problem later: for ports that actually use staging, bsd.stage.mk tries
to pass a DESTDIR of its own to upstream's build system, so the DESTDIR
specified on the make(1) command line might not be passed to upstream's
build system at all.  So bsd.destdir.mk might do its thing, but then
bsd.stage.mk would override the DESTDIR setting during the actual build
and installation of the upstream sources, so I wonder if anything at all
would be installed into the chroot.

 Could we have this as an example what not to in the Makefile. It is

 This breaks stuff that edits scripts in place trying to replace paths
 that depend on the value of PREFIX.

The proper way to do this - and the way it's done on other OSs and other
packaging systems that have the staging directory feature - is to:

1. Pass ${STAGEDIR} as a separate build option to the actual build;
   it's traditional to pass it as the DESTDIR option:

   MAKE_ARGS+=  DESTDIR=${STAGEDIR}

2. Make sure that the actual build honors DESTDIR.  Yes, this does mean
   that in some cases you have to patch the upstream build system; please
   do this, and please forward the patches to the upstream authors, so
   that their piece of software builds properly everywhere and is that
   much easier to package for everyone :)

Yes, this does involve a bit more work for the port maintainer in cases
when the upstream build system is not yet DESTDIR-aware.  Yes, this is
actually a good thing, this is practically an omission of the upstream
authors that will be corrected sooner or later by somebody, either
the FreeBSD port maintainer or some other packager :)

  If you use ZFS, it's possible to take snapshot, then install new
  ports, then if something blows up, you can rollback.
 
  With UFS, it's still possible to take snapshot but rollback is not
  atomic.
 
 I'm aware of filesystem snapshots, but I only want to checkpoint the
 ports and packages, not the whole filesystem -- a rollback needs to
 be fast, easy, and obviously correct; preserve the failure logs; and
 not undo changes that may have been made elsewhere in the meantime.
 (BTW I don't use ZFS:  the machine doesn't have enough memory, and to
 me ZFS -- especially on 8.x -- doesn't yet seem sufficiently proven.)
 
  If you use portmaster, it can save packages (I think portupgrade
  can do it too).  But this approach depends on the fact that the
  port is well written, and is not atomic in terms of package set.
 
 And then a rollback requires re-installing the saved packages, which
 is surely slower than moving a few directories and/or files around.
 
 The question is, what (if anything) else -- besides /usr/ports,
 /usr/local, /var/db/ports, and /var/db/pkg -- needs to be checkpointed?

Some ports might store run state in /var/db/portname or a similarly
named directory.  The thing is, the decision whether to save this and
restore it or to keep it across runs actually depends on the port: for
database management systems such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc, you'll
probably want to keep the databases even if the ports themselves are
reinstalled, rolled back, restored, whatever.  For some other systems,
you might want to remove the current state information of the version
that you are about to replace.

Peter

  It is quite simple to create the patch.
 
  If you have a working copy checked out with svn, then it would be:
 
  cd /usr/ports/[category]/[port]
  - Make the necessary changes to the port
  - After testing the port make sure to do a 'make clean'
  svn diff  port.diff
 
  Otherwise make a copy of the port:
 
  cd /usr/ports/[catagory]
  cp port port-orig
  cd port
  - Make the necessary changes to port
  - After testing port make sure to do a 'make clean'
  cd ..
  diff -ruN port-orig port  port.diff
 
  Then just submit the port.diff in a PR using either send-pr or
  http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html.
 
 
  Is there a way to manually make a patch that will say :
 
  --- MyFile
  +++ MyFile
 
  Even if these files are in two distinct trees ?
 
  There is always a way to do that:
  
  diff -u /path/to/original/port/MyFile /path/to/modified/port/MyFile 
  /place/to/save/patch/port.diff
  
  or if you modifed several files:
  
  diff -ruN /path/to/original/port /path/to/modified/port 
  /place/to/save/patch/port.diff
  
 Hum yes but what I mean is that we'll have, for example:
 
 --- /home/florent-gentoo/patch/old/one2013-03-24 14:04:20.757200724 
 +0100
 +++ /home/florent-gentoo/patch/new/one2013-03-24 14:04:08.541201548 
 +0100
 […]
 
 And what I want is:
 
 --- /home/florent-gentoo/patch/old/one2013-03-24 14:04:20.757200724 
 +0100
 +++ /home/florent-gentoo/patch/old/one2013-03-24 14:04:08.541201548

 […]
 
 SCM make patches like the second one and I'm no sure it is possible to
 do without modifying by hand the patch generated.

Well, one way to do it would be to actually *use* an SCM :)  My
preferred way would be a Git copy of the Subversion repository - then
you do your changes in your local Git tree and periodically pull down
the changes from the FreeBSD Subversion repo and merge them into yours.

But really, is there actually a reason why you don't want two separate
directories?  To be honest, before the advent of Subversion and Git
everyone did their patches that way (well, there *were* local CVS
repositories and checkouts from there, but most of the patches were
diffs between two side-by-side directories) - and I don't think anyone
ever complained.  Are there any problems you are seeing with two paths
in the diff headers, or is it just aesthetic?

Peter

It cannot be broken, since it is not going to change.  It's a tag,
not a branch.

A tag is a snapshot of the tree at a specific point in time, mainly
for reference purposes later.  A branch is a copy of the main part
of the tree (the trunk, which also happens to be a branch, even if
the main one) that can - and probably will - be updated by further
commits.

RELEASE_7_EOL is just a snapshot of the last version of the ports tree
that was guaranteed to work with FreeBSD 7.x.  It is not suitable as
a csup/cvsup/svn up target - once you check it out, there is absolutely
no point in updating to it later, since it is not going to ever change.

 This is true. But what is the bug, that the port's Makefile.bsd was
 not updated on the introduction of src.conf to DTRT (and no-one
 noticed for 7 years), or that the purpose of src.conf has been
 mistakenly documented for 7 years?

To be brutally honest, and at some cost to myself, I would have to say
both :(

There are some people - and some of them are well-respected long-term
Free-and-other-BSD developers - who are of the opinion that the
/usr/share/mk/bsd.*.mk infrastructure is meant for the base system build
only.  I do indeed understand this point of view - and from this point
of view, the port's Makefile.bsd is buggy because it allegedly abuses
internal parts of the base system.

At the same time (see the last paragraph) I do quite understand the
other point of view - that FreeBSD is not merely an operating system or
a combination of an operating system and third-party software adapted to
work on it consistently, but that it is a software distribution (what,
after all, does BSD mean? :).  Hence, its source code is meant to be
adopted, adapted and used in everyone's software projects when everyone
feels like it (under the conditions of the respective licenses, of
course).  If this is taken to mean that if we have bsd.*.mk, we are
free to use it, then it will turn out that bsd.*.mk is not really an
internal part of the base system, and that the documentation for
src.conf maybe ought to mention that the settings there may affect the
build of third-party programs that use the bsd.*.mk infrastructure (and
of course there would be no way to list all such programs).  However...

However, there is then the argument of well, if you want to use the
bsd.*.mk infrastructure, then why don't you just copy it into your
project and include it from there - just like many, many projects do
with, say, the sys/queue.h header, or parts of libc, or whatever?
And it is, indeed, a very good argument, since this is how a software
distribution's parts are supposed to be used - you copy them into your
project and use them even when they are not available on the host
system.  So one might argue that the port is, indeed, buggy, that the
src.conf documentation is, indeed, correct, and that the proper way for
people to use the bsd.*.mk infrastructure in their own projects is to
take a snapshot, remove the include /etc/rc.conf part, change the
include statements to be relative to the current directory or something,
and then include the bsd.*.mk files from their own project's source
directory.  I'm not sure if there are any projects that actually do
that, but IMHO this is the correct way to do it :)

Now, in this particular case, we have a slightly different situation
when the code that uses the bsd.*.mk infrastructure is not part of the
upstream software source code, but is part of the FreeBSD port - that
is, it is supposed to work mostly on FreeBSD, and the port is supposed
to keep up with the times and work around any incompatible bsd.*.mk
changes.  So... with all due respect to Mikhail, I do believe that in
this case the port's Makefile.bsd ought to add the without src.conf
definition before including the bsd.*.mk parts.

The at some cost to myself part at the start of this message is
because some of my released software uses the bsd.prog.mk/bsd.lib.mk
infrastructure, with the unspoken assumption that I'll update it when
the bsd.*.mk infrastructure changes in incompatible ways (this has not
really happened for the past twelve years, mostly because my Makefiles
do not try to use NO_MAN or similar options - they define everything
they need, and it is not a whole lot :)  So... yeah, I've been lazy, and
yeah, some weird src.conf settings might confuse the build of some of my
software on FreeBSD.  And, of course, my software might very well not
build at all on other BSD-like host platforms.  But... yeah, well, I've
been lazy ;)

...thanks for reading so far, I guess :)

Peter

  I suspect that you are missing the fact that all ports which lack a
  specific maintainer (most of them) are maintained by ports@. So the
  messages to ports are only for the vast array of ports that are
  unmaintained. There is no one else to contact.
 
  Ideally, if someone has a little free time, they can look at the list
  and pick a couple to update and submit the update in a PR to ports
  with a category of update. Or even better, become the maintainer,
  yourself. I have been maintainer for a couple of ports that were
  critical to my work, so I could be sure that they would be updated
  promptly.
 
 
 Not exactly :) My suggestion about including current maintainer contact
 info was about this part of discussion:
 
  Probably more to the point is that it shouldn't get sent to the ports
  mailing list - just to port maintainers.
 Did you ever think that sending it to the list might motivate someone else
 to take over the port?
 There's a reason ports get out of date. One of the reasons is because the
 port maintainer has lost interest or no longer has the time. If people on
 the list see it, someone who is motivated might update the port and end up
 being its new maintainer.
 
 So, my thought was, if you ever came to sending portscout messages with
 alive maintainer to all ports@ list, would be nice to see contacts
 immediately.
 You could learn that some maintainer is inactive last time, and next time
 you see update for his port, you could get it to work.
 Something like that.

But this is exactly the point - portscout *only* sends messages to the
e-mail address listed in the port's MAINTAINER line.  If portscout's
message goes to the po...@freebsd.org list, then there *is* no active
maintainer - what Paul means is that the maintainer has lost interest
(or the ability / resources / time to work on the port) and somebody has
reset the port's maintainership to po...@freebsd.org.

I've looked through the porter's handbook,
but still not clear.

I see lots of post-install targets in
Makefiles, but never just install.
I presume it should be pulled into by
.include bsd.port.mk

Still, if I have a set of source files,
generated object files, and just one
executable I want to install, I probably
have to specify somewhere in the Makefile
the name of this executable, right?

Or are PLIST_FILES and PLIST_DIRS used
to let make know what to install?
 
   The ports 'make install' generally does one of two things: either it
   runs appropriate make install commands from $WRKDIR -- ie. what the
   ported software provides itself -- or it has a list of files,
   directories etc. from within $WRKDIR which it copies into place itself,
   which is usually only done if the ported software doesn't provide its
   own installation routines.  As I recall, if you don't provide an
   explicit install target yourself, the default is to run 'make install'
   from $WRKDIR.
 
   PLIST_FILES, PLIST_DOCS or the pkg-plist file don't tell the ports what
   to install.  Instead, they document what the installation process should
   be installing, and so what files to include in a pkg tarball and what to
   delete at pkg deinstallation time.  Hence the effort required to make
   sure your plist is accurate.
 
 Ok, I think I get it.
 All I need is the install target
 in $WRKDIR/Makefile.
 If I make this target empty, then
 I can add the real install commands
 under post-install in the port's
 Makefile.
 
 However, it seems if there is no
 install target in $WRKDIR/Makefile,
 then I must add install target to
 port's Makefile.

Actually, since the install target in bsd.port.mk does a lot of other
things (generating/handling package lists, registering the package
installation, etc), what you need to override is the do-install
target (in the port's Makefile).  For the upstream's Makefile (the one
in $WRKSRC) it is the install target that is looked for.

This is true for almost all of the high-level bsd.port.mk targets (the
ones that the user invokes with make in the port's directory) -
bsd.port.mk does some magic, determines whether anything needs to be
done at all, and if there is indeed a need to do something, it invokes
the do-* target.  Thus, if bsd.port.mk determines that it needs to
fetch an upstream tarball, it will invoke the do-fetch target that, by
default, tries to fetch ${DISTFILES} from ${MASTER_SITE} and so on.  If
it determines that it needs to build a program, it invokes the
do-build target that, by default, goes into ${WRKSRC} and does make
all (but of course, you can also override the all part using another
variable).  For the install target, if bsd.port.mk determines that it
needs to install the already-built-in-${WRKSRC} files to ${PREFIX}, it
will invoke do-install; if you don't override do-install, it will
change into ${WRKSRC} and run make install - and then it will go on
with the rest of what the install bsd.port.mk target does.

In general, you don't really need to do this very often - most of what
you might need to do in the do-* targets is already configurable by
other variables.  I guess that's why nobody felt the need to document
this in the Porter's Handbook so far :)

Peter

 Really? I thought it was supposed to be standard

 While I totally understand why we do this, I have to say it's VERY
 VERY annoying behavior especially when one upgrading a remote system
 with multiple server daemon ports.  One have to watch the whole
 process carefully and restart the daemon manually.
Yep, and even more annoyingly is that it is completely inconsistent:
   some daemons are stopped, some not, etc.
 We do not currently have a standard procedure for that, nor do we record
 the necessary state -- perhaps we should just discuss, vote, and add a
 paragraph to the porter's handbook.
 
 We also need to bring the authors (or volunteers) for the de-facto
 standard upgrade tools into the loop.
 
 My thoughts:
 
 - give the user a choice to configure whether to restart services
 
 - optional: give the users a chance to configure this per-service
 
 - discuss whether we want/need to support this (a) in the framework that
 we currently use, (b) only in pkgng, (c) in portmaster and portupgrade
 where necessary.
 Or we could have a facility to check whether services are running.
 For example, I have some cron scripts, which are similar for all
 of the services that I'm watching. They run periodically and
 restart services if they are down. It does not matter if they are
 down because of an upgrade or a failure, so this solution is more
 general. Here's an example that I have for MySQL:
 
 
 Before we go that way, we should consider using runit by Gerrit Pape
 (smarden.org), Upstart, or port systemd.

I think that Andriy is referring to the following case which has bit me,

2. The port is updated to the new version.
3. The user fetches the new version, builds and installs the port.
4. Upstream makes a change without bumping the version.
5. The port maintainer curses a bit and updates the port, possibly
   bumping PORTREVISION if upstream changed something important
6. The user tries to fetch the new version of the upstream tarball
   and stumbles into fetch(1)'s outright refusal :)

In this case, NO_CHECKSUM would be quite... counterproductive, in case

 There are always hosts out there that still have old port Makefiles

 E.g. on cpan, the files just are added to the directory, not moved

Well, in truth, the port's Makefile may be trivially configured to look

 Indeed - they seem to be identical. Perhaps somebody made a typo?

Well, to me they seem to be identical, including the CVS history.
I would guess that this is a repo-copy in progress, nothing to be
concerned about; one of them will probably be removed soon, and
the other will be updated.

  The Real AnswerTM is that we need a tool with striking similarities to
  portaudit. The basic idea would be that UPDATING entries would be done
  in xml, and then the user can either run portupdating (or whatever the
  name ends up being, that's a really bad name but I suck at naming tools)
  either by default for their whole system, or vs. a specific port. I
  would strongly recommend that the behavior, command line options, etc.
  be consistent with portaudit. Download it and check the man page if
  there are any questions. :)
 
 There are two questions that arise with this approach:
 
  - we should find a way to keep an old UPDATING file in place;
obviously, it can be easily created from the XML file, but
currently UPDATING is delivered via CVS and it will be good
to allow this behaviour even with the XML'ized version;
but keeping the plain-text UPDATING in CVS while UPDATING.xml
will be used is a bad idea -- UPDATING will be non-master
file, so its history will be redundant.  From the other hand,
we have no XML tools in the base tree, so UPDATING can't be
easily created from the XML version at the user machine;

Two quick thoughts here:

- I personally would prefer a human-readable file (and yes, I *can*
  read XML; that doesn't mean it's easy or I *want* to :)
  ...so how about a JSON representation?  Human-readable, human-editable,
  but still capable of being formalized and validated

- ...and as for an implementation, there is a mini-JSON library in
  NetBSD's netpgp implementation -
  src/crypto/external/bsd/netpgp/dist/src/libmj/ in NetBSD CVS

  - currently, UPDATING has only port names, but not their versions;
one takes the entry timestamp and if he had not yet upgraded
the relevant port(s) after this timestamp, then the corresponding
entry is for him.  I see there two cases:
a) there is a specific port version at which some crucial change
   that demands the UPDATING entry had happened; if the version
   specification will be included in UPDATING, then we won't
   even need the timestamp -- one should just take the currently
   installed version and the version to be installed; the the
   entry's version lies between those two, user will surely need
   to read the UPDATING entry;
b) there is a infrastructural changes that affect all or some ports
   that will be built after some date; again, the logics of choosing
   the entry to be presented is the same as above, but one should use
   timestamps, not ports versions.
 
 But having thinked about this a bit, now I am favoring another approach:
 one should not rely on the portmaster/portupgrade/OtherTool to present
 the UPDATING entries: the best place is the ports infrastructure itself
 (or pkg_install suite).  This way, any tool that will do upgrades will
 receive the UPDATING stuff for free.
 
 Currently I am trying to figure out if it will be sufficient to have the
 appropriate machinery in the pkg_delete tool: the old port version and
 timestamp are already there; the new timestamp is more-or-less the
 current date; the only needed piece is the new port version.  It can be
 provided via the environment variable by the portmaster-like tool; such
 variable will trigger the processing of the UPDATING file.  This is
 rather rough plan, feel free to correct/criticize it or show why it is
 not doable using such approach.
 
  The other thing this entails is portmaster actually storing
  information of its own completely aside from /var/db/{pkg|ports}. I'm
  really sort of nauseous about that whole idea since it's a slippery
  slope that I don't want to travel down. But I'm not seeing any other
  way to accomplish the task of make sure that the user knows that they
  should read UPDATING without doing something very much like this. Of
  course, if someone else has a better idea, I'm all ears. :)
  
  What I do _not_ want to do is write an UPDATING text file parser
  myself. Not only do I think that's a bad idea generally, it's not a
  project that I am at all interested in, and I don't see it as
  something that should be part of portmaster to start with. I could be
  talked into the UPDATING.xml project if someone were to come up with
  funding for it, but (just being frank and honest) it's too big a
  project for me to tackle on a volunteer basis atm.
 
 I had shown the simple shell script that will parse the UPDATING and
 present the entries for the given port if the fall into the last N
 days category.  If you had missed it -- ping me, I'll show it to you
 once again.

 timelimit-4.2 instead ? or maybe another name so these can coexist ?

I'm glad that you think that timelimit's functionality is better than
that of its netpipes equivalent, but if others don't share that opinion,
I could change the port so that the user may specify a program prefix
at build time.  Still, I'd prefer to leave the default prefix empty :)

Oh!  Of course, I, as the upstream author, would only be flattered if

Imagine your DNS server is running as a service.  You want it to start

 Also, if I have a program(s) that are routinely restarted via USR1,
 such as clamav, should I activate the SIGQ12 option? I am not even
 sure exactly what support it enables.

It adds the -1, -2, and -q options to the svc(8) command-line tool,
and yes, that's pretty much exactly what you want - if you're running
clamav as a service, you can now do svc -1 /var/service/clamav and
it'll get a USR1 signal.

 To answer your question - your port Makefile can download multiple
 distribution files from the upstream download site.  For a couple of
 examples, see these Makefiles:
[snip]

All good points, and good examples.  However... :)

Well, I do believe that if the Data package rarely changes, then it
would be unnecessary not only to distribute it each time as a port's
source distfile, but also to include it (unchanged) in different
releases of the *packages* that the port builds.  Thus, IMHO it would
be best to make a separate port for the data file and have the main
program (port) depend on it.  This would make sure that not only people
who build the port by hand do not download the data file more often
than necessary, but also the people who use packages do not download
needlessly big packages for each program update with no data change.

Hope that came out clear enough; I know I'm not thinking straight today.

[CFT] security/stunnel update to 4.33

2010-04-09 Thread Peter Pentchev
Hi,

It's been a long time and four upstream releases since stunnel-4.29
which is in the Ports Collection now.  The reason I've not updated
the port is that there were user reports of various instabilities
and regressions in the logging, chroot support, and some other newly
introduced features.

Now, with stunnel-4.33, it seems all of those are resolved, and
the new features are worth upgrading.  So here's the patch to
update the security/stunnel port; if anybody is willing to test it,
it'd be great.  If no problems should arise, I intend to commit it
in a couple of days.

The patch is also available at
http://people.FreeBSD.org/~roam/patches/stunnel/stunnel-4.33-01.patch

Peter

curl, c-ares, and IPv6

2010-03-22 Thread Peter Pentchev
Hi,

If this is of interest to anybody, I just committed an update to
the c-ares asynchronous DNS resolver library, and also a little change
to the cURL port, finally allowing it to do async DNS lookups when
IPv6 support is enabled.

I intend to turn IPv6 support on by default for the upcoming
curl-7.20.0 update in a couple of days.  If anybody has any strong
reasons why this should not be done[1], please speak up now :)

G'luck,
Peter

[1] I mean, besides the obvious one more DNS query and a failed
connect() call - too many other applications have done this by
default for the past five, if not ten, years, and there's a growing
number of instalations (well, okay, still a minority, but still...)
where the connect() call will *not* fail :)

IPv6 support *has been* turned on for the cURL port for quite some

 I can't find it in the latest ports collection.
 
 Others have explained how to contact the maintainer of a port, and how
 to determine that it has no maintainer.
 
 But perhaps some expectation-setting is needed here.  
 
 Bluefish 2.0.0 was released a mere ten days ago.  Before it will appear
 in the ports collection, two things have to happen.
 
 First the maintainer must modify the port as needed to get it to compile
 on FreeBSD.  Sometimes that's trivially simple, sometimes it's
 diabolically complex.  If the port is depended upon by others, for
 example, there might be a need to coordinate the update with them.  So
 it's not unusual for the maintainer's part of the porting process to
 take several days or even weeks.

That's true - and yes, there are port updates that take weeks sometimes.
(although, well, some of *my* updates in the past have been known to
 take weeks for other reasons, not just the review and technical work)

 Second, after the maintainer has submitted a PR with the update, the
 committers need to test it. That takes time.  Also, judging by what I
 can see in the list of currently-open PR's, many committers always have
 a dozen or more in process.  It's not uncommon (or unreasonable) that
 this part of the porting process will take several days or even weeks in
 addition to the time the maintainer needed.

Well, in this particular case, the maintainer of www/bluefish is
a FreeBSD committer himself, so this part might take a bit less time :)
But in general, it's true enough.

G'luck,
Peter

 Hi Kevin,
 
 There's a lot more backslash escaping required in the :C suffix above
 when running the make command directly in the shell.  If you remove some
 of the backslashes in the equivalent line in the Makefile, should be all
 set.  Then you can check to make it's working by running make -V
 PYEASYINSTALL_UNINSTALLARGS.

A bit off-topic, and a bit late, but you can avoid the need for those
additional backslashes by simply placing the string in apostrophes
(single quotes).  It's the shell that tries to interpret the string
before passing it to make itself, and the single quotes tell
the shell to not even try to interpret the string.

So, just do:

  make -V 'PYDISTUTILS_PKGVERSION:C/([[:digit:]]\.[[:digit:]])\./\1_/g'

...and you'll see what make(1) thinks of the quoted string, just as if
you'd put it in the Makefile.

Peter

  Ok, I think I'm starting to get a hang of this. Personally, I prefer the
  static pkg-plist.
  
  There's one last minor detail, though. The where's the final packing
  list located? Is it in /var/db/pkg/${DISTNAME}?
  
 
 While you're building the port, the packing list is assembled as
 ${WRKDIR}/PLIST where ${WRKDIR} is by default /usr/ports/foo/bar/work/
 although it's not uncommon to locate it somewhere else by modifying
 $WRKDIRPREFIX.
 
 Once installed the PLIST is turned into /var/db/pkg/${DISTNAME}/+CONTENTS
 which adds information about the ports this one depends on, plus the
 md5 sumes of all of the installed files.

Just a small correction: it's /var/db/pkg/${PKGNAME}, not ${DISTNAME} :)
A slight difference, but important sometimes, most often when
PORTREVISION  0, but also when there are differences between
the representation of the version in the upstream distribution and in
the FreeBSD port.

Peter

Subversion's checksumming makes sure that you get exactly the same files

The Ports Collection's distfile checksums make sure that you get exactly
the same files *as the port maintainer examined at some previous moment

The difference is crucial.

 More importantly it guards against maliciously modified source code.
 Someone might break into a legitimate mirror or use dns poisoning to
 distribute malware.

That's the whole point :)  That's also why the maintainer is supposed to
examine the files before submitting (or committing) a port update -
to guard against source code that has been maliciously modified on
the master sites (or on fake master sites that the maintainer has been
redirected to).

Re: Enforcing library version in a port Makefile?

2009-10-16 Thread Peter Pentchev
 to lots of other ports updating their
LIB_DEPENDS lines and, usually, bumping their PORTREVISION.  Thus,
when the end user updates her Ports Collection, she just sees that
she needs to update both the curl and scons ports, and everything
Just Works(tm) :)

 
 
   If you are relying upon some feature of a port that may change while
  it's relevant shared library versions remain the same, then you should
  add the port to the other *_DEPENDS as needed, with appropriate checks
  on the port version number in those variables.
 
 I suspect this is what I shall have to do. Is this what all other port
 authors do in similar circumstances? It seems kind of a hackish
 workaround, especially if the library in question doesn't have a
 corresponding executable to list in RUN_DEPENDS. Do I force a library
 name into RUN_DEPENDS?

It is, indeed, a hackish workaround, and it should only be used in
extreme cases, when the build really fails *and* you, as the maintainer
of the port, really see a need to allow the users to build it with
older versions of ports that it depends on - see my comments about
the synchronized ports collection above.  In general, it should be
really, really rare.

 It would be nice to be able to express the real dependency as precisely
 and accurately as possible, say I want = X.Y (in numbering scheme Z) of
 this library, rather than have to obfuscate intent by using some proxy.

True, it would be nice, yet it might require some more work to implement,
since it would change the way the checks are done.  Somebody(tm) ought
to do the work to implement it - maybe :)

Peter

Re: Open discution for a fakeroot support for the ports infrastructure

 Hi,
 
 I've written some patches for the ports infrastructure importing the
 fakeroot implementation from midnightbsd ports.

That's actually a good idea.  I'm quite used to fakeroot already from
some work I've been doing in Debian.

 In my first implementation the fake directory was enabled by default, no
 ports had to be modified to support it.
 My second implementation added a knob to add to make.conf (USE_FAKE) to
 enable it for people wanting it and want to tested. still no ports to be
 modified (except perhaps some buggy one)
 
 Now the patches are quite old (they won't apply cleanly) so I'm on updating
 it again.
 
 Before rewriting it, I think it is a better idea to first discuss about it,
 to improve it, see if there are interests, etc.
 
 So basically here is what is done and how it works.
 the changes are only in the infrastructure not in ports themselves (except
 that some will be able to benefit some cleanup)
 
 do-fake (with post and pre) replaces do-install (pre/post) it creates a
 $WRKSRC/fakeroot where the binaries are copied by the ports (during  the
 do-install of the port)
 
 then do-package create a package using pkg-plist (or the generated one)
 using the binary in fakeroot.
 
 do-install (ie make install) now only does a pkg_add of the created pkg.

Just one comment: there are some ports, and not quite so few, either,
which override the do-install target to do some maintenance of their own.
A trivial run of

  find . -mindepth 3 -maxdepth 3 -name Makefile -type f -print0 | 
  xargs -0 fgrep do-install

...from /usr/ports gives just about 6000 results here, and most of them are,
indeed, real cases of port Makefiles doing the install thing for themselves.
This is done either for very, very simple programs where it would be
unnecessary overhead to recurse into the upstream's Makefile and run
its install target, or for programs where the upstream doesn't even
*have* an install target, or for programs where there is, quite simply,
no upstream - like devel/portilnt :)

So the fakeroot implementation should take that into account, too -
and that could be a problem, since most of the do-install targets
actually do install their files directly into ${PREFIX}.

This could actually be easier if DESTDIR were implemented first :)

 What is the interest of that :
 the installed files will now always respects the pkg-plist which simplify
 the QA work.
 the developpers will have to focus on the pkg-plist to choose which file
 will be installed according to the desired KNOBS/OPTIONS : no more ugly hack
 to respect NOPORTDOCS and NOPORTDATA for example.
 certainly a lot more that i don't see now.
 
 what could be seen in the future is an equivalent of the update-plist target
 of openbsd ports infrastructure.
 it will easier implementation of multipackage ports (if ever wanted :)), one
 port with multiple pkg-plist.
 
 the discussion is open :)
 
 here is the PR concerned :

Peter

(and yes, I know that some of them are mine ;)

[snip]
 OK. I totally mis-read the Makefile and got most of my comments wrong.

Nah, it's really not that hard to mis-parse a port Makefile - there are
many knobs controlling many aspects of the build, and some of them are
quite alike and can be mistaken for each other.  Happens to everyone :)
(and before someone misparses this, I'm *not* criticizing the Ports
Collection - it's great, it just takes some getting used to - continually -
as any more-or-less complex thing in constant development should)

 I do hope that ahze will fix this so that it behaves as people are most
 likely to expect it to behave. I will go ahead and update the PR I
 submitted on this to simply suggest the removal of the 
 || exists(${LOCALBASE}/bin/muine.
 
 Thanks for you patience in this.

No problem, and apologies if my last message has struck you as maybe
a bit confrontational.  It was meant as a friendly explanation, and
the reason it started off with a couple of No, that's not right
points is that I wasn't thinking too clearly at two in the morning.

Thanks for *your* patience and understanding!

Re: serpentine port forces dependency on muine

2009-08-26 Thread Peter Pentchev
 - now there *is* an easy way for the user to specify
whether she wants muine or not.  This part I agree with, and I think
that it should be removed now.

I'm just writing all of this to try to explain the point of view that
led to this situation in the first place, in revision 1.2 of the
Makefile, four years ago.  At that time, the options framework was
not completely finished yet, and users still had to specify WITH_*
and WITHOUT_* variables manually, either on the command line or in
elaborate config files; thus, the autodetection of muine was, indeed,
considered by some to be a useful thing.  Now, I think it's outgrown
its usefulness.

 As serpentine is a part of the gnome2-power-tools metaport and a LOT of
 folks are likely to be re-building a lot of ports due to the V8.0
 release, I'd really like to see it fixed.
 
 This does not effect me any longer as I have commented out the part of
 the configuration that enables  the muine plug-in, rebuilt serpentine,
 and deinstalled muine, but I am sure it will cause problems for others.

G'luck,
Peter

I strongly doubt that this is the reason for your problems.

Actually, this is exactly how the Ports Collection's options framework
is supposed to work: the OPTIONS variable lists just the names of
the options, then bsd.port.mk prompts the user through a dialog
(or just uses the options' default values) and sets either WITH_name
or WITHOUT_name.  The port then checks for WITH_name or WITHOUT_name,
just as it does in this case.  The option is named MUINE, but
the bsd.port.mk framework will set WITH_MUINE if the user wants it,
or WITHOUT_MUINE if she doesn't (or building in batch mode, since
the option defaults to Off).

So the Makefile check is actually correct.

I find it a little bit hard to believe that it is exactly this change
to the Makefile that helped you get a serpentine build without muine.
Could it be that, in the meantime, you had also removed the muine
port itself?  The Makefile check will be satisfied if the MUINE option
is enabled *or* if the muine executable is present in /usr/local/bin.
This is most probably because the serpentine configure script looks for
muine itself and uses it unconditionally if it finds it.

So... maybe you just had a /usr/local/bin/muine, and that made
the serpentine port always build with it?  Because the Makefile check
is actually correct as per the ports options framework :/

Peter

 Ack. You are correct.
 
 If muine found in /usr/local/bin/, it will be built with the plug-in,
 regardless of which way the MUINE configure option is set because:
 .if (defined(MUINE) || exists(${LOCALBASE}/bin/muine))  ${ARCH}==i386
 
 As a result, you can't deinstall muine as serpentine depends on it, but
 you can't build serpentine without a dependency on muine until you
 deinstall muine. I am confused as to the whole point of this structure.
 If muine is installed, serpentine will be built with the plugin...end of
 story. The configuration option does nothing. The only effect it has is
 to force the installation of muine on the initial install muine is not
 already installed.

This structure is probably targeted at the case of the port being built
on a clean system (or at least a clean-ish system).  From your
explanations, it seems to me that you are considering the case of
the port being built while a previous version of serpentine is still
installed on the system.  While this is, indeed, convenient, and
maybe it is the way it's done by some port building helper tools,
IMHO it's a bit risky: I always prefer to build ports without having
another instance of the port installed to avoid the danger of
the port picking up some of its own pieces from the older, currently
installed version.  I've had trouble in the past with ftp/curl -
for some reason or other, the test suite sometimes picked up
the libcurl.so from /usr/local/lib/ and not the one it was *supposed*
to use (its own, in its own build directory) - thus the tests for
*newer* features failed.  There could be other ways in which this
could pose problems.

Of course, this is merely my humble opinion, and I do realize
the convenience of still having the port installed while you build
its newer version - the old-fashioned way I do things leaves me
X-less and Firefox-less for hours at a time on big upgrades :)
Still, I'm saying this in the hope that you will see the case that
the port maintainer had in mind when writing the Makefile :)

(it's valid for the automated package build systems, too)

 I guess the right way is to change the statement to read:
 .if defined(MUINE)  ${ARCH}==i386

MUINE is never defined, or at least not by the Ports Options framework.
It's either WITH_MUINE or nothing.

In this particular case, removing the check could work.  In my
previous message I mentioned the possibility

I think that there are two problems here.

This should take a couple of hours, a day at most.

Second, the security/openssl/Makefile is indeed referring to
${MASTER_SITE_LOCAL} in PATCH_SITES, but it is missing a subdirectory
there.  Thus, even after the patch propagates to the FreeBSD FTP mirrors,
the port's Makefile will still be looking for it in the wrong place.
The following trivial patch should fix that; Dirk, I could commit it

 Any ideas?

Did you run exactly the make command?  The mplayer port uses
the GNU version of the make utility, which is installed as gmake on
FreeBSD systems.  Try running gmake instead.

Note that this might still fail, since the mplayer port has quite
a lot of patches to the mplayer source, some of which may fix build
failures that you may run into when building the pristine SVN source.
Other patches may influence the mplayer behavior later on :)
Those patches are in the files/ subdirectory of the mplayer port;
you might want to try to apply them to the source after checking it
out of their Subversion repository (or after extracting the snapshot).

Re: Honoring NOPORTDOCS with GNU_CONFIGURE?

 Is there a standard way to write ports which use GNU_CONFIGURE to follow

Not really.  What I usually do is have a post-patch: target that
does a REINPLACE_CMD on all the Makefile.in's found in the port's
directpry and just removes the install-doc target; something like:

.ifdef(NOPORTDOCS)
@${REINPLACE_CMD} -E -e 's/ install-docDATA/ /; s/^(SUBDIRS.+)doc/\1/' \
${WRKSRC}/Makefile.in
@${REINPLACE_CMD} -E -e 's/([^n])install-examplesDATA/\1/' \
${WRKSRC}/tools/Makefile.in
.endif

This is taken from the security/stunnel port; you may need to fit it
for your specific port's needs, or, if there are many Makefile.in files,
use ${FIND} | ${XARGS} to process them all at once.

 Hi,
 
 I've CC'd Gerrit Beine (the actual maintainer of the irc/unreal port :)

 Some time ago, I sent my proposed c-ares update for testing to all
 the maintainers of ports that depend on c-ares directly.  My patches
 made the ports compile, but I didn't have the proper setup to actually
 test them working, since I'm not quite familiar with the programs

 However, I need to install binary to PREFIX and some files should go to
 /usr/share/gens (paths are hardcoded, checked with ktrace, gens is
 trying to open /usr/share/gens/file or
 /compat/linux/usr/share/gens/file), and installing to /usr isn't
 really an option, so LINUXBASE/usr/share/gens looks like an only choice.
 Installing everything under LINUXBASE doesn't look like option too -
 /compat/linux/usr/bin isn't in path by default.
 
 Is it possible at all (and welcomed) and how would I create pkg-plist in
 this case or are there any other solutions?
 
 I've attached shar of what's there at the moment (with incorrect
 pkg-plist).

You could install to $LINUXBASE and just make a symlink for
the binary itself into $PREFIX/bin/.

 Hi,
 
 I'm the maintainer of the www/squidguard port.
 
 Some time ago I have been asked to try not make the port remove the
 blacklists when, after installing the default ones, they were modified
 by the user.
[snip]
 I have few options at this point:

The usual approach is to install them as .dist or .sample or something
like that, copy them with their real names, and only remove the real
ones if they are the same as the sample ones.  This involes several
steps:

- modify the upstream source to install them with a .dist or .sample
  extension, or install them in a different subdirectory if the program
  will process them even with a different extension;

- modify pkg-plist to refer to the sample files, not the real ones;

- when installing, use either pkg-plist's @exec directive or a pkg-install
  script to check if the real files exist and, if they don't, copy
  the .dist file to one with the real filename;

- when deinstalling, use either pkg-plist's @unexec directive or
  a pkg-install script to check if the real files are the same as
  the sample ones and, if they are, remove them.

For an example of doing this with a .dist extension, take a look at
the mail/vpopmail port's handling of the etc/vpopmail.mysql and
etc/vlimits.default files:
- files/patch-Makefile.in installs them as .dist files;
- pkg-plist contains the .dist files;
- pkg-plist contains an @exec if [ ! -f ... ]; then cp...
- pkg-plist contains an @unexec if cmp -s ...; then rm...

   I was thinking something like:
   $(WWWDIR}/apache${APACHE_VERSION}/cgi-bin might be the way to
   direct the install to the correct directory. Is there a better way?
   I cannot find a macro that directly references the cgi-bin.
  
  We have a policy against installations that would automaticlly be on
  the network.  You need to install it elsewhere (often a directory
  under WWWDIR) and tell people how to add the appropriate configuration
  directives to http.conf or to copy the file into cgi-bin in
  pkg-message.
  
  
  The program is DADA Mail. It installs a 'mail.cgi' in the cgi-bin and
  then installs the rest of its files, perl modules, etc. in a hierarchy
  several layers deep in the cgi-bin directory. We are talking
  about a lot of files here. Expecting the end user to properly move the
  files from a temporary directory to the cgi-bin and then properly
  changing the file(s) properties would seem a little extreme. However,
  if that is the only way I can do it, I will investigate writing a
  script that the end user could invoke to accomplish this feat. It does
  seem a little over the top however. Due to the way DADA Mail is
  written, the author does not believe it can be run from other than that
  directory along with its associated files.
 
 Sounds seriously broken. :)  I might suggest installing in www/dada and
 providing a script to make appropriate symlinks along with an instruction
 to enable following symlinks in cgi-bin.  It seems like shockingly bad
 design to require that it live at http://.../cgi-bin/mail.cgi, but
 that's certainly not uncommon. :(

Jerry, take a look at how other ports do it - e.g. mail/qmailadmin
or devel/viewvc.  Both of those install files into separate directories
and then expect the user to symlink the CGI directory to something
within the user's real cgi-bin directory, and possibly symlink a data
directory into something within the user's real data directory.
Thus, the CGI script is at http://hostname/cgi-bin/qmailadmin/qmailadmin.cgi
with the option of someday adding e.g. cgi-bin/qmailadmin/somethingelse.cgi
by simply placing it within the symlinked directory.

Of course, the symlinks may also be avoided by using Apache's Alias and
ScriptAlias directives :)

Either way, the major point is that once you learn to live with all
files being in cgi-bin/progname/ instead of just cgi-bin/, it's just
a matter of symlinking (or aliasing) a single directory instead of
each and every file within it.

G'luck,
Peter

That's from the building user's point of view.

 This is definitely a bug, so better send-pr for this issue not to be
 lost while we're in freeze.

I think Alexey's point might have been that this should be fixed during
the freeze, before 6.4 and 7.1 ship with the ports tree - and I think it
might be a good idea, if libtool uses sed (resp. gsed) in any files in
the already-built target application / library.  From a quick look,
that does not seem to be the case, but if it is, it's important.

What I mean is the following scenario:
- libfoo uses libtool for its build
- libfoo depends on libbar which depends on GNU sed
- during libfoo's build, libbar is built, thus gsed is installed
- during libfoo's build, libtool detects gsed installed and remembers it
- in libfoo's binary package, there is a shell script that uses gsed,
  because libtool knows gsed is present on the system
- an unsuspecting user installs the libfoo binary package without previously
  building libbar
- the unsuspecting user gets a shell script that tries to run gsed and
  fails.

Of course, this all hinges on the idea that libtool uses gsed in any
files that are part of the binary package.  From a quick look, the .la
files do not contain any shell commands apart from variable assignments,
but I'm not too familiar with libtool and I don't know if there are any
other files that it might generate in the binary package.

If libtool may put gsed into libfoo's binary package, this should be
fixed before the freeze.  If libtool only uses gsed during libfoo's
build, then it is not a critical problem.

Of course, if Dmitry is more familiar with libtool than I am, and he
knows that libtool does not leave any such files, then I've just wasted
everybody's time with unneeded idle speculation, for which I apologize :)

  When doing pkg_add [-r] wouldn't it be better if pkg_add checks if _all_

  -r), etc. checks _before_ installing the packages, because if you get
  3-4 packages broken/missing when one package depends on 30-40 (X apps

  When the pkg_add get to these packages and they were not found on the

  so, what would you say about that?
 
 I'd say it's a great idea (and an ideal idea), but it's not easily
 implementable.  Where would pkg_add get its list of dependencies from?
 The port Makefile?  And what if the user doesn't have ports installed?
 
 This is one of the many quirks of the ports vs. package system.

Well, pkg_add *already* gets the list of dependencies from the .tbz file
that it is either passed on the command line or it downloads.  I believe
that Anton is asking for a bit more separation between the fetch all
packages to be installed and the install all fetched (fought?) packages
phases of pkg_add's operation.  However, given the way that pkg_add
operates by invoking itself recursively, it might not be easy to do this
without a major rewrite and algorithm change.

 for listening to audio files look at mpg123 for mp3 or at mpc for any
 kind of audio format.

Actually vlc does a great job of transcoding files and providing
streamed movie playing (rtsp:// and stuff), and it definitely does not
need an X display for that :)

 Use a combination of find with the -mtime flag, and pkg_delete.

Not really.  This is a bit dangerous.

The dangerous part is the mtime of the directory.  It would be much
better to use the mtime of the +CONTENTS file, since it never changes
*after* the package has been installed.

It is possible, though not certain, that the mtime of the directory may
change if another package is installed later which depends on this one -
pkg_add(1) then updates some files, most notably +REQUIRED_BY, to
reflect the new dependency, so that pkg_delete(1) may warn you later if
you try to delete something that other packages depend on.  Of course,
the part with the mtime of the directory may change depends a bit on
the filesystem used, but I find it easier to just rely on the +CONTENTS
file that I'm sure should never change - unless I edit it by hand, but
then all bets are off :)

Novembre, you might want to try something like:

# Change the working directory for easier path handling
cd /var/db/pkg

# Create a temporary file with the modification time set to the date
# that you want to examine (in this case, May 15, 2008, 11:00am)
touch -t 200805151100 /tmp/stamp

# Find all +CONTENTS files that have a modification time later than that
# of the stamp file
find . -type f -name '+CONTENTS' -mnewer /tmp/stamp

# Extend the previous command - get only the second component of the
# file path, which is the name of the package directory, which coincides
# with the name of the package :)
find . -type f -name '+CONTENTS' -mnewer /tmp/stamp | cut -d/ -f2

That should give you a list; you may redirect it to a file or, if you
are feeling really adventurous, just pipe it to | xargs pkg_delete :)

 The existence of ports with a -contrib suffix suggests you may need to 
 create a distinct port for the contrib files.  databases/postgresql-contrib, 
 for example.

Actually, that is not strictly necessary.  There are other ports that
do things in slightly different ways:
- some things in contrib/ are merely documentation snippets that
  belong in share/doc/$PACKAGE, as Jeffery suggested
- some things in contrib/ are sample additions, implementations, clients,
  add-ons and such that *might* belong in share/examples/$PACKAGE
- some things in contrib/ are scripts, clients, add-ons and such that
  might also belong in libexec/$PACKAGE (if they are executable files)
  or share/$PACKAGE (if they are not... I can't think of any examples
  right now, but there might be)
- some things in contrib/ are really best left in a separate port :)

For rsnapshot itself - erm, I don't see a contrib/ directory in
its source; do you mean the utils/ directory, or are you looking at
some version that is not in the Ports Collection yet? :)  If it is
utils/ that you mean, then, well, it's actually your choice - the things
there seem to be little scripts that may live in $EXAMPLESDIR, may
live in libexec/rsnapshot/, and may live in a separate rsnapshot-utils
port.  Either way would be fine, at least IMHO.

 Hi everybody,
 
 I try to understand what happens here :
 
 http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/i386-errorlogs/e.7.2008032407/grsync-0.6.1.log
 

 Since yesterday, my net/grsync port seems to refuse to build on i386.
 The configure script uses (expanded) :
 
 pkg-config --exists --print-errors 'gtk+-2.0'
 
 which leads to the error 'No package 'gtk+-2.0' found'.
 
 This error message is clear. What I don't understand is that the
 dependency against gtk20 is explicitly specified in the Makefile, so why
 has gtk+-2.0 not been installed during the build process (and does not
 appear in the log file) ?
 
 Am I missing something ?

It is quite possible that you caught the small time window just
after the GNOME upgrade, in which bsd.gnome.mk was missing two
lines that recorded LIB_ and RUN_DEPENDS.  Thus, even though you
specified gtk20 in your port's Makefile, bsd.gnome.mk just didn't
add a dependency on libgtk - so your port's build did not find it.

Since this was corrected a couple of hours later, I strongly suspect
that the next automated build will go just fine.

Peter

 Actually, I've already had an idea of utility with pretty similar
 functionality for a long time. The utility would copy directory
 hierarchies recursively based on file include/exclude list, like this:
 
 +/{etc,bin,sbin,lib}
 +/usr
 -/usr/local
 +/usr/local/{bin,sbin,libexec,share,lib}
 -/usr/share/locale
 +/usr/share/locale/ru_RU*
 
 so `my_cool_copy_utility / /path/to/jail` will copy /etc,/bin,/sbin,/lib
 and /usr dirs to jail, but in /usr/share/locale will only copy
 russian locales, but no others, and in usr/local it won't copy
 man, include and other dirs not needed in a jail.
 
 The purpose is similar - creating jails out of host system in fast
 and easy way, possibility to strip everything unneeded (useful for
 secure minimal jails or flash/livecd/embedded installations of
 minimal size) and add something extra, like stuff from /usr/local
 without installing full packages in a jail, or, say, copying over
 additional tree of jail-specific changes (mostly stuff under /etc
 and /usr/local/etc).
 
 Such an utility is something I still might start working on.

Err... why not use rsync for that?  It works locally, too -
I use it to copy directories all over the place all the time.

Come to think of it... oh, just go install net/rsync, take a look at
its manual page and the FILTER RULES section in particular - it even
supports rules with prefixes, - for exclude, + for include, just
like you want them :)  Well, okay, you might need to list separate
directories on separate lines (it doesn't seem to support the {bin,sbin}
syntax), but other than that, it seems to fit your requirements pretty
well :)

  If you look at security/cyrus-sasl2/pkg-install, it checks to see if
  the username exists, if it doesn't exist, then it checks if the uid is
  available, if it is not available, it increments the uid until it
  finds an available uid.
  
  Both ports should be using a similar routine to check if the uid/gid
  they are requesting is available.
 
 Actually, that's old hat.  The current standard is that you should
 pick an otherwise unused UID (and/or GID) from /usr/ports/UIDs and
 register that as belonging to your port.  Submit a maintainer update
 with patches to UIDs and GIDs plus modifications to the way the port
 is installed so that it uses the allocated numbers, and you're golden.
 
 If another port has a UID clash with yours and you have established
 rights by registering the uid in this way, then you can insist that
 the other port is changed to not clash with yours.

...and that's precisely what I did with the stunnel port five months
ago, in rev. 1.48 of the ports/UIDs file :)  Before that, stunnel
just invoked pw groupadd and then pw useradd without any specific
ID's, but now it always uses 341.

Hmmm, that might indeed be a problem if this user ID is already taken
by another account on the user's system; I'll see if I can work something
out on the autodetection front, but my advice to Nikolay would be to
pick another user ID and register it in the ports/UIDs file, at least
for the benefit for people who have not yet installed openfire and shall
do so for the first time in the future :)

 That should be a build dependency then. I'll take a look at the example you

Erm, nope...  A build dependency is not meant to modify anything
on the user's system, but the installation process may need to, say,
rebuild indexes or otherwise update some kind of configuration.
Think add-on packages - some of them might need some kind of
registration in the main package's configuration.

At least that's the way I see it, and ICBW, but I think that there are
various legitimate cases when a run-time dependency ought to be installed
before the package installation itself.  For more examples, take a look
at the plist of most X11 fonts (@exec fc-cache), most JDK implementations
(@exec registervm), most docbook-* ports (@exec xmlcatmgr), some GNOME
ports like gnomevfs (@exec gconftool-2), and many others.

 I was thinking about having it embedded in every port's Makefile

 USE_MAKE_JOBS=2

Funny that this discussion should come up here at about the same time
as a very similar discussion on a Debian list :)

IMHO, hardcoding the number of jobs in the port's Makefile would not
be the best approach.  I think a port should only flag whether it
supports parallel building at all or not - and leave the number of jobs
to either the ports framework or the administrator's choice.

The ports framework may pick a value - ncpus, or ncpus+1, or ncpus*2, or
something like that - but, again IMHO, the administrator ought to be
able to override it in any case.

Other than that, it's great that y'all are actually doing something
about supporting parallel builds! :)

  Ideas?
 
 I've discussed the problem on #bsdports on IRC in the past; dvl brought
 it to my attention.
 
 The problem, from my perspective, is this:
 
 dns/c-ares was modified to support an OPTIONS knob for CONFIG_INFO.
 This option *must be on*, and adds the ares_config_info patch, which
 provides the necessary header information for type inf.  irc/unreal
 depends on this information.

Yep, I added the patch to c-ares especially for irc/unreal :)  As a matter
of fact, I *took* it from the irc/unreal sources :)

 The knob itself defaults to ON.  However, for people who have built
 dns/c-ares in the past (prior to this knob being added), there will
 obviously be no support for ares_config_info.
 
 Thus, you need to pkg_delete or deinstall dns/c-ares, and either rebuild
 it (make clean  make install) or let irc/unreal rebuild it for you.
 
 I'm about 90% sure this is the problem, because when I heard of the
 issue, I tried to reproduce it on two of my systems (neither of which
 had ever built dns/c-ares or irc/unreal before), and I had no issue.
 
 Ideally, what needs to happen is that the irc/unreal port needs to
 check to make sure that the appropriate storage type (inf) is
 available prior to irc/unreal being built.  Usually this is done in
 autoconf (and that makes it the responsibility of the authors of
 Unreal).  If there's some way the port itself could check to see if
 dns/c-ares was built with CONFIG_INFO enabled (otherwise refuse to
 build), that would be a workaround.

A run-time check would be nice, indeed.  However, how about this as
an additional check at the dependencies' level?

Do you have the c-ares library installed?  What is the output of
  pkg_info | fgrep -e c-ares -e curl

If this does not display a line saying c-ares-config-1.3.2, then
you need to either upgrade or reinstall your c-ares library, with
the ares_config_info patch.  To do that:

- deinstall anything that provides a libcares.so in your path (you can
  find out what it is by first running ldconfig -r | fgrep cares to
  find the library itself and then
  pkg_info -qW /usr/local/lib/libcares.so.1 to see which package has
  installed it)
- cd /usr/ports/dns/c-ares
- make config (as root)
- make sure the CONFIG_INFO option is checked
- make all install clean

After that, try building unreal-ircd again.

G'luck,
Peter

Or maybe VAD is talking about a precompiled *package*, not port;

 If gpg binary consumer is ports-installed one and have explicit

 security/gnupg *AND* security/gnupg1.  But if is is not from ports,
 just only users from command line or have implicit dependency (like
 mail/mailcrypt which I'm using), only gpg2 binary is exist after
 portupgrade.
 
 I have no clue about last problem for now (only pkg-message or
 UPDATING).  This maybe critical for casual portupgrade users.

Err... I wonder...  How about repo-copying (or rather, repo-moving)
the current security/gnupg to security/gnupg1, and creating a new

That's a good suggestion.

Mark, as to the portlint problem - well, portlint cannot really be
expected to handle each and every corner case in a port Makefile :)
It is doing a wonderful job as it is, but every now and then you have
to make a choice between a working port and a clean port ;)

To make the OSVERSION check work, you do indeed need a bsd.port.pre.mk
inclusion before it.  Then... just ignore the portlint warnings.

And... thanks for a great utility! :)

 the bsd.port.pre.mk, then the port could have been made to work as you

 be defined before this *.mk file.  If it could be moved into
 bsd.port.post.mk, then the ports Makefile could be changed as follows;
[snip would-be-nice patch moving USE_OPENSSL after the OPTIONS processing]

Yes, this was indeed the main problem I had with OPTIONS'ifying the curl
port - the fact that USE_OPENSSL cannot be reconciled with the options
handling framework, simply because it needs to be defined before including
bsd.port.pre.mk.  Your patch is good, and it would really be nice if it
could be applied, but unfortunately, it is not possible for the present :)

And to Andrew - as noted above, unfortunately, for the present it is not
possible to only use OpenSSL if WITH_GNUTLS is *not* specified, simply
because the USE_OPENSSL processing is done before any options processing,
and it has to be that way :(
