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...

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. > > Once I have that working (well enough to build one port at a time) I > > will move on to modify bsd.port.mk itself (and related files) to utilize > > this mechanism for virtual installation of port dependencies during builds. > > > > The full project proposal can be seen at > > https://docs.google.com/document/d/1B30U9csgY299W59tNraSX1LYjzsba2i04OrYAUpdIZs/edit > > > > . > > > > My goal is that this work can be integrated well enough into > > /usr/ports/Mk so that unlike Jail, no set up work should be required for > > using ports tree to build a set of installable packages. > > > > Please let me know if you are interested in this project; feedback is > > appreciated.?

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.

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?"). > > Even if we come up with proper solution it will require cutting off network > > at some later stage than post-extract.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Stop *** [do-install] Error code 2 and I realised that I don't really understand the sequence of commands involved in make install. 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.

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.

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.

So compare all the files in your port's directory with the files from a previous, known-good version of the port, see which are the new ones and if you wrote them or some tool generated them :) If you didn't write them, chances are you can safely remove them and things will work just fine :) G'luck, Peter -- Peter Pentchev r...@space.bgr...@ringlet.netr...@freebsd.org PGP key:http://people.FreeBSD.org/~roam/roam.key.asc Key fingerprint FDBA FD79 C26F 3C51 C95E DF9E ED18 B68D 1619 4553 This sentence was in the past tense. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

One package contains the executable program and the other contains data files. The Data package rarely changes. The idea being packaging them together would use up a lot of extra bandwidth. Which brings me to the question: Since the executable relies on the data files being in place before it's run, how should I handle that in the port? Should I just get the executable to install and let the user manually get the data files? Should I create a second port for the data package? Or should I find some way of making the executable's makefile download and unpack the data package? My instinct is to create a separate port for the Data package and list it as a dependency for the Executable port. I'd appreciate some guidance. Thanks. Hi Jesse, Welcome to the fray, and I'm glad to hear that you're learning how to develop FreeBSD ports! 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
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.

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.

Re: Enforcing library version in a port Makefile?
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.

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 : http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/133815 G'luck, Peter -- Peter Pentchev r...@ringlet.netr...@space.bgr...@freebsd.org PGP key:http://people.FreeBSD.org/~roam/roam.key.asc Key fingerprint FDBA FD79 C26F 3C51 C95E DF9E ED18 B68D 1619 4553 This inert sentence is my body, but my soul is alive, dancing in the sparks of your brain. pgpLxmMiry5xu.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: serpentine port forces dependency on muine
- 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.

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

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...

The program has to be installed in the 'cgi-bin'. 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.

Not sure if this is a critical bug, just a bug or not a bug at all (so, no PR yet). 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 :) G'luck, Peter -- Peter Pentchev [EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP key:http://people.FreeBSD.org/~roam/roam.key.asc Key fingerprint FDBA FD79 C26F 3C51 C95E DF9E ED18 B68D 1619 4553 No language can express every thought unambiguously, least of all this one. pgprZ8yIal68Y.pgp Description: PGP signature

I've got this problem when did pkg_add -r mod_musicindex and for some reason mod_musicindex didn't build the flac and libogg when $ make package-recursive specified. When the pkg_add get to these packages and they were not found on the web server, I've had to delete all installed packages by hand... uhh... 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.

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.

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.

This is a list of ports as stored in PKGORIGIN, or as pkg_info -o reports them. I was thinking about having it embedded in every port's Makefile directly, instead. Something like 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! :) G'luck, Peter -- Peter Pentchev [EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP key:http://people.FreeBSD.org/~roam/roam.key.asc Key fingerprint FDBA FD79 C26F 3C51 C95E DF9E ED18 B68D 1619 4553 This sentence every third, but it still comprehensible. pgpQYpDRoDPEY.pgp Description: PGP signature

[xnet] /usr/ports/irc/unreal# 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?
