Re: FreeBSD Port: amule-10275
Hi, I am here again with a consideration about the choiche to use a snapshot for the amule port. I understand maintaing a port is an huge gift to the FreeBSD community, and gratitude goes to those, such as you, that do this job. It is not my goal to ask you to steer the port in the direction that would be useful to me alone, but please consider what I am going to write. I have built and installed the port on SPARC64, on an headless Sun server (Fire V100) to run amuled and amuleweb only. Everything gone fine. I then installed amulegui from the Ubuntu Repository on a laptop I would use to manage the amuled on the server. Since the amuled on the SPARC server was based on the snapshot and the amulegui on Ubuntu on the 2.2.6 release, the gui refuses to connect to the server saying the protocol version isn't the same. So everyone who wish to use amuled and amulegui on different platforms needs to do one of those two things to ensure they are the same protocol level: - use an older port on the server based on the 2.2.6 or earlier release and then use an amulegui from a repository (for Ubuntu or another linux distro) - use the current port based on the snapshot then build the amulegui on linux from the same snapshot instead of using a build from a repository I still haven't decided what to do yet.

Re: FreeBSD Port: amule-10275
Nice to know that amule will get more frequent updates, and the new knobs are great as well, but isn't risky to use snapshots for a port? Are there any policies about what to base a port upon? And yes, you are correct about the availability of the sparc64 packages. Can the new knobs be used to do a gui-less build of amule?

Re: FreeBSD Port: amule-10275
Double answer: The functions you see in amulecmd should be in wxbase and wx is not a problem. My goal is not to build the gui version, just amuled and amulecmd, and I think this can be done in amule calling configure like described in this howto http://wiki.amule.org/index.php/HowTo_Compile_aMuled So, I think a knob for passing to configure those flags would do the job. This way X11 should not be needed.

Re: FreeBSD Port: amule-10275
Of course this would be useful to those who do wish not to install/start X on a server, whether it be a i386/amd64 or a sparc64 or other architectures that does not have a graphic card on the server (an headless machine) . In this case would be useless to do a very long build of X11 and amule gui, along with amuled+amulecmd, then never use the X part.

Re: FreeBSD Port: amule-10275
No, never looked at wxgtk28 port and I understand it would be non trivial to split it. Building it as part of amule would be better. But I am not here to ask you to do that, just suggesting what might be useful to people wishing to use amule on servers. On the other hand it is true that compiling with X11 and not to use it isnt dangerous nor exceedingly troublesome, just boring and a waste of disk space (and might mess packages db a little). Doing this might be a nice feature of the port for future releases. Or maybe making another port, like amuled or amule-core that builds just wxbase and amuled+amulecmd. If I ever can afford the time I might try doing that after reading the porter handbook far more deeply that what I have done up to now... Thanx for your time.
