Our package system: Fundamentally Flawed - A Linux User.
Hello all, I have a few questions about our package system. Many would agree that the FreeBSD ports system can be quite efficient and easy to use. Upgrading ports isn't usually a problem (unless something breaks), and installing them is usually only a command away. Many would also agree that building massive amounts of software from source is NOT efficient for a desktop user and binary packages are a more suitable alternative. My question regards our binary package system. I have always avoided using it due to dependancy conflicts and outdated software packages. Keeping an up-to-date system with our packages does not seem to be a likely possibility at the moment. I would like to elaborate on what I mean by dependancy conflicts for lack of a better description. When using 'pkg_add -r package' to install a port and its dependancies, pkg_add will check to see if you already have some of the dependancies before downloading and installing them for you. If there are version differences, it will warn you but the installation will still proceed. This is where the problem lies. Say for example I have a copy of gettext-0.13 on my system and one of the binary packages I'm attempting to install was compiled and linked against gettext-0.12? Instead of downloading and installing the other version of gettext along with the existing one as to not break the linked libs (because gettext-0.13 uses a different library name) like it should, pkg_add only gives a warning and an assumption that the install went well. Now, the user goes to run the package and gets a big fat error: libintl.so.X not found. For a user like myself, this is no problem. I can recognize the error and figure out how to fix it manually. For a user considering switching to FreeBSD from Linux, this is considered a fundamental flaw in our package system and may lead to a very annoying flame war. Can this be fixed? Why hasn't it been fixed? Am I doing something wrong? Has it been fixed? Another issue. What about upgrading? How often are packages rebuilt and can they be easily upgraded without worrying about issues such as the one described above? I've been told they are rebuilt about once a month or so. Are these new packages that are being rebuilt automatically defaulted to by pkg_add -r? With my experience, I usually end up with very old packages when using this method. I hope I've made myself clear, and please correct me if I'm mistaken about any of the topics I've mentioned in this email. I'd like to know the answers to these questions so I can answer questions brought up by those who may be future FreeBSD users.

Why hasn't it been fixed? Am I doing something wrong? Has it been fixed? Portupgrade should handle this correctly; when deleting old packages during an upgrade, it moves the shared libraries to compat/pkg so old binaries can still use them. If passed -PP, portupgrade will only use packages (with one -P, it will try and fetch a package but if it can't or the package is too old, it will build from source). Portupgrade is not in the base system because it requires Ruby, and scripting languages (apart from Bourne shell script :) change far too often to be in the base system. They're better off as ports so they can be updated more frequently. I'll let someone else answer your questions about frequency of port builds and why pkg_add doesn't fetch the latest ones. You can take a look at http://bento.freebsd.org and/or http://pointyhat.freebsd.org to see when the last full package buld was. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

As you probably know, it's mainly considered a server OS, but it's become popular as a workstation for many people as well, myself included.

However, I'd never consider using OpenBSD as a desktop OS, and it isn't suitable for my workstation purposes due to its lag in hardware support.

A workstation can be any of a number of OSes, including FreeBSD, Win2k, many distros of Linux, Mac, Solaris, and many more. Most workstations have some sort of window manager (or in the case of Win, it's not a choice), as do desktop systems. On my FreeBSD workstation I switch between KDE and IceWM, depending on what I want to do at the time. I differ with your opinion of KDE, as I find KMail to be one of the best gui email clients I've used, though some of the rest of the stuff doesn't matter to me that much. I can also use KMail in any other window manager, but it does tend to be a resource hog because of the way KDE is designed. Like I said, my choice of wm depends on what I'm doing at the time. anyway - good use of FreeBSD (or other unix) is to be a server with graphics terminals (X terminals) connected through ethernet. then it could be managed only in one place by qualified admin, while used by many people. Well, sure, this is one use. I use it for a workstation, but I'm planning on setting up FreeBSD on some other machines as servers, though not in the way you describe.

It seems odd to me that there's no way of overriding the logic in

for packages. Before I go and try and chip some of the rust off my C

Add another environment variable 'PACKAGECOLLECTION' that pkg_add(1)
refers to. This should be set to the name of one of the

It inevitably introduces confusion. Ok, I feel better now... When I have the network set up in this manner (packets coming in via two external lines plugged into the same switch), I can only access the network that is on the same network as the default router. In the example above, I can access the server by 1.2.3.4, but not by 2.3.4.5. If I change the defaultrouter to 2.3.4.1, I can access the server by 2.3.4.5 but not 1.2.3.4. Access the server from where? Let me test my understanding. You have a server with one NIC and two addresses, plugged into a single switched network along with two ethernet connections to external ISPs, and you're trying to connect to the server from a remote network via the different addresses? If both addresses can reach the network you are connecting from, it should work via either address. Note that the RESPONSE may come to you from a different address, and if that confuses your application THAT may break. For example, if you come in on 2.3.4.5, the reply will still return via 1.2.3.4 - your server can only have one default gateway, and if that's how it knows to reach you, that's where it will go. If your two networks can't both reach your source network, then yes, it will break. There are workarounds, most involve either a dynamic routing protocol that can assign priorites to the different paths, or introducing an external device (firewall, router) that basically does the same thing. Essentially you need more elaborate routing that takes availability into account.

Each of the Makefiles in /usr/ports/Mk has a long pre-amble documenting the various settings available. The convention is that variables starting 'WITH_' 'WITHOUT_' or 'WANT_' are user-settable; variables starting 'USE_' are for the port maintainer to deal with. Any section marked 'OPTIONS' causes the port to generate a popup menu allowing you to set the various flags listed either as 'WITH_FOO' or 'WITHOUT_FOO' -- those values are retained under /var/db/ports so you won't get the menu popup the second or subsequent times you make that port unless you specifically run 'make reconfig'. Note too that there are a number of ports that have variable settings which pre-date this convention: in those cases, you'll have to figure out from context what is user-settable and what isn't. Also note: most people find that using portupgrade(1) and friends to manage their ports gives best results. In which case, you can enter those make variables into the MAKE_ARGS array in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf -- one big advantage of doing that is it allows you to apply the make argument to building a specific port. I don't think there are any such conflicts, but there's no guarrantee that two ports won't use the same make variable with conflicting meanings.

How to install a custom built world+kernel to a machine with no OS?
I have a number of machines onto which I want to install a custom-built
world, kernel and set of packages, all of which have been built on another
machine. The target machines presently have no OS on them and can only be
booted by CD.
Installing a minimal FreeBSD and then mounting /usr/src and /usr/obj via NFS
isn't attractive because of the extra work and uncertainty involved with
removing and changing files left over from the initial install. I tried
using discs 1 and 2 from a FreeBSDMall CD set to run install{world,kernel}
directly, but they don't seem to have the necessary bits. The ports system
has the package make target. I couldn't, however, find a make target to
turn a built world and kernel into the distribution chunks sysinstall can
use to do a binary install.
The solutions I've come up with so far are:
- Create a custom CD that contains the necessary bits to partition, label,
newfs, and run installworld/installkernel.
- Do my own release engineering.
- Some third option I haven't thought of yet.
What do I need to us to accomplish the above?

However the problem he's facing is rather more intractable than it first appears. In general, you're going to need a mechanism for dynamically routing packets in order to make this sort of setup work. For most setups, you'ld need the co-operation of your ISP to make things work as well. There's two areas where you can use this dual setup profitably. The first is failover -- should one of the connections go down, you'll automatically switch to using the other. About the simplest way of doing something like that is to run a script periodically (say once every 5 minutes) that sends a ping down the active channel, and if there's no response, it switches the default route to the other channel. This means that normally all your traffic will go down one of the connections, and there won't be any bandwidth advantages but you will get increased resilience. The second is 'policy based routing' -- which is a good term to google for. Under FreeBSD this is implemented using the ipfw(8) 'fwd' command which lets you dynamically redirect packets down one channel or the other. That means you can do things like select out HTTP traffic and send it via one channel, leaving all of the other traffic to go by the other. That lets you share out your bandwidth between available channels, but doesn't give you any advantages in terms of resilience.

tun0, firewall, natd
Somehow I haven´t yet managed to get my FreeBSD 5.2 current system boot up smoothly with initiatiying the network properly. I´m running ADSL and tun0 doesn´t seem to be initialized when the firewall rules are being applied and when natd ist started. I´m getting an error socket not available or cannot bind or something like that early on tun0. Also sendmail (kqread) hangs very long after it times out due to DNS not being available. When I start natd manually after the system has come up that way (with the DNS timeouts and all that) it works fine but this situation is not tolerable in the long run since manual intervention isn´t possible in all situations. I´d appreciate some help here. Thank you. -- Chris Christoph P. U.

But, the main thing I would add is before you do the mount /usr you probably want to cause root to be remounted read/write so you can edit rc.conf.

install problem
I downloaded the ISO from LiveBSD that installs 5.2.1: http://www.livebsd.com/livedesktop/ And I'm having problem when trying to boot the CD-ROM. I get the following errors, after it loads for a while: Mounting root from cd9660:acd0 setrootbyname failed iso_mountroot: can't find bootvp Root mount failed: 6 And then I get put into this : Manual root file specification: And it asks me for a partition to boot. Any ideas what could be going wrong? Is the ISO broken? There's nothing too weird about the computer. The CDROM drive is the secondary Master. There's a tape drive that is the secondary slave, while the 80gb hard drive is the primary master.

FreeBSD and WinNT
I have a FreeBSD 4.8 and I need to install on the same machine WindowsNT-like
operating system. I tried to do this and installed it. But after recovering of BSD
bootstrap loader using sysinstall I found that I cannot load Windows. Namely, there
was two question signs ('??') in the second string of BSD loader menu (the first was
'FreeBSD') and after selecting it by F3 my computer rebooted. Windows should run on
NTFS partition, not FAT. Can I do something and if yes, what?
Thank You.

So, I gave up with 4.10 and downloaded 5.2.1 and installed on the same machine, good news is, it installed perfectly. Thanks to you guys for great support.

Would the situation be any easier if I put one of the networks on a separate NIC? Is there any way to determine what IP/interface a connection came in on, and continue to use that IP/interface for the outbound packets? Maybe with static routes or something of that nature? The thing is, I used this exact setup (albeit on two different network cards) on a FreeBSD 2.x box quite a ways back, for the same purpose (switching networks), and it was working fine. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Right -- in which case, you've actually done everything right, Is there any way to determine what IP/interface a connection came in on, and continue to use that IP/interface for the outbound packets? Maybe with static routes or something of that nature? That should happen automatically whenever anyone connects to one or other of those addresses. It's setting the origin address on outgoing connections that's usually the difficult bit, but in this case, that shouldn't be a problem. Really all you need to do is at some point change the default route to point to the new gateway, and then wait until any traffic to the old addressess dies away. Then edit /etc/rc.conf to make the new ip address the only one configured on the interface and whatever else needs fiddling with similarly, a quick reboot and you're done.

ahd driver on 4.9 has problem with more than 3 drives.
Hello All, I am trying to run FreeBSD 4.9 on a server that has 4x146GB ultra 320 SCSI drives. The motherboard is a Tyan S2720 with an Adaptec 7902 Ultra 320 onboard. (Also tried it with 4x73GB drives). The systems works fine when there are 3 drives in the system. As, soon as I plug in the 4th drive and boot the system in starts to 'dump card state' after the 'waiting for 15 secs for scsi devices to settle' line and never boots up completely. It just repeats dumps card state. I then loaded FreeBSD 5.2.1-REL and even that dumps card state, but it boots up fine. I have included the dmesg in the mail. (Sorry for including everything. I didnt know what might be important). I havent changed anything in the kernel, its a standard install. Does anyone have any clue as to why this could be happening on 4.9. Am I missing some parameter or something here. Or, is it possible to load the 5.2.1 ahd driver on 4.9. If so can somebody give some instructions on how to do that. I would appreciate any kind of help. Please let me know if you want me to do anything else or provide any other information.

Why are my filters not applied to incoming messages of IMAP accounts? Because KMail currently does not support this. You should use server-side filtering (ask your admin for how to install filters on the server and in which format), since IMAP is all about managing your email on the server. Unfortunately, although there exists a mail filter language (Sieve, defined in RFC3028), there is no standardized access protocol for installing or editing server-side Sieve scripts. If such a protocol becomes available in the future, KMail will most probably include support for it. There is a kio slave to upload Sieve scripts to the server, but you still have to have access to enable the script. I think the kmail in kde 3.3 will have additional support for server side filters. - -- Jonathan Fosburgh -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFA/DfEqUvQmqp7omYRApiQAJ9hFAu52VF6xmgaAxaQ8HJVu9QtjQCeMqoM 41WB+iTOSyo8qyeCHZCBkwU= =f3j1 -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
changing card in a reader (revisited)
Aloha I had previously started a thread with this problem and although I received several suggestions the problem was never solved. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-June/050819.html Below I have included more information. If I change an 8MB card for another 8MB card everything works as it should. If I try a different size card it fails. In addition, if I boot with no card in the slot, I cannot get a slice to initiate in /dev. i.e. I will see /dev/da0 - /dev/da3. When I boot with a card in the slot I see /dev/da2s1 as seen below. This problem has been reported by others (found through google) but again there was no solution. Is there a friend that I am unaware of? I have tried various attempts with camcontrol without any good results. If I unplug and replug the USB cable both of the above problems are corrected. I don't feel that is a viable solution. My wife has WXP on her computer and it will update with the changing of a card. I really need a friend that will rescan or update the USB connection.

Card reader problems (was: changing card in a reader (revisited))
Hi, Sorry to disturb, but do you get panics with your card reader? I see someone posting about such device for the first time here (except me). What kernel are you using? I have a 4-slot reader/writer too and each time I plug it in, I get a panic instantly on CURRENT. I've always thought that it is because of four devices attaching at once, but it seems to work fine for you.

I spoke with one of the FreeSBIE people (Drizzt) and s/he said a FreeSBIE CD would have the necessary tools for installing via makeworld so that looks like a good option. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
OpenOffice on a diskless workstation
After running through a stack of little pitfalls in trying to get a diskless client running from a 5-CURRENT server I'm down to the last nasty here. Hopefully someone might be able to help out. OpenOffice apparently doesn't want to run across an NFS share unless a link_relative option is given in the exports file. http://digitaldistribution.com:8080/oocommunity/FAQs/faqinstall/faqinstall/35 Sure enough, OpenOffice simply won't run from an NFS export on my diskless client. Unless I can get this part of the equation playing this diskless client project is dead in the water for me. OpenOffice is just too critical an app. Is there some way to get a similar behavior to link_relative working? Is there a better route to take with getting OpenOffice to work across NFS?

Re: Card reader problems (was: changing card in a reader (revisited))
From: Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Monday, July 19, 2004 12:10 pm Hi, Sorry to disturb, but do you get panics with your card reader? I see someone posting about such device for the first time here (except me). What kernel are you using? I have a 4-slot reader/writer too and each time I plug it in, I get a panic instantly on CURRENT. I've always thought that it is because of four devices attaching at once, but it seems to work fine for you. Martin Aloha Martin I do not get any panics. I was running current but then I went back to 5.2.1. I had current running to try ndis but I am not where I can use that card so I went back to see if there was any difference with the card reader. Alas, they work the same way. %uname -a FreeBSD hp.hawaii.rr.com 5.2.1-RELEASE-p9 FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p9 #0: Thu Jul 15 10:14:33 HST 2004 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/HPLAPTOP1 i386 % Good luck Robert ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[OT] Apple's contribution to OSX
Dear All, First off, apologies for this off-topic post, but I think this is the only place I'm likely to get an intelligent (and well-informed) answer to my question. I tried searching the web, but found a confusing and contradictory bunch of poorly-informed opinions, which wasn't helpful. I'm writing a news article about Apple's contribution to open source. In particular, I'm interested in finding out the following: 1) How much of FreeBSD did Apple actually use in OSX? If I'm not mistaken, the Darwin kernel is not related to FreeBSD in any way (or is that wrong?). Basically, what exactly did Apple gain from FreeBSD? 2) What exactly has Apple contributed back to FreeBSD? (money? equipment? source code?). Nowadays, does Apple still continue to give anything back to the FreeBSD community? 3) How much of OSX today is open source (or shared source)? Can you actually see the OSX source code? Can you use any of it? Because this is off-topic, it might be better if people responded directly to my email address rather than this forum. I can be reached at [EMAIL PROTECTED] I know that I could ask these questions on an OSX forum, but then I'd probably receive 1000 replies from people telling me that OSX is the greatest thing since sliced bread - which, even if true, has nothing to do with the article I'm writing. And yes, I'm running FreeBSD (and Linux) at home, not OSX, but that also has nothing to do with the article. I appreciate any help I can get on this, and as always I'm happy to acknowledge anyone by name in the article for their assistance. thanks in advance and best regards, Robert ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [OT] Apple's contribution to OSX
Robert, OSX is the greatest thing since sliced bread ... now that that is out of the way. to question (3): try http://developer.apple.com/darwin/ http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.3/ it uses a lot of FSF, FreeBSD, etc. just check the header files. gcc is a GNU licensed product (mac os x/darwin is built with the gcc compiler). I *think* the Apple compiler group is trying to fold all their code back into the gcc main stream version. Don't know about (2). thanks!- -lance Lance Bland mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] VVI 888-VVI-PLOT http://www.vvi.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
2nd try - new rc script won't start on boot
I've written a very simple rc script, using the new method, and the
script works fine (start|stop|restart|rcvar|status|poll|) except for one
thing. It won't start the daemon when the server is rebooted. I'm
wondering if anyone might be able to help me.
Here's the details
1) FreeBSD 4.8 RELEASE, 450 MHz processor, 128 MB ram
2) rc script permissions:
ls -lsa /usr/local/etc/rc.d/extractor.sh
2 -rwxr-x--- 1 root wheel 1154 Jul 17 01:07
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/extractor.sh
3) rc script:
head /usr/local/etc/rc.d/extractor.sh
#!/bin/sh
# $Id$
# PROVIDE: extractor
# BEFORE: LOGIN
# KEYWORD: FreeBSD
. /usr/local/etc/rc.subr
name=extractor
rcvar=`set_rcvar`
command=/usr/local/bin/${name}
load_rc_config $name
run_rc_command $1
4) rc script enabled?
bash-2.05b# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/extractor.sh rcvar
# extractor
$extractor_enable=YES
As you can see, the script is enabled in /etc/rc.conf. But it absolutely
won't start. There are no error messages in /var/log/messages or in the
daelmon's log, and the daemon doesn't allow me to set a verbose or debug
mode that would give me more information.
I've written a small cron script to make sure the daemon stays running, and
I'm using that now to start the daemon after rebooting, but obviously I'd
prefer to do it the right way.
Here's the cron script:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/extractor.sh status test1
sed -e 's/\.//g' test1 test2
PID=`awk '/extractor/ {print $6}' test2`
if [ $PID 0 ]; then
exit 0
else
echo Extractor was not running.
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/extractor.sh start
fi
This works to start the daemon after a reboot (and if it should ever stop
running, but I'd prefer to have it start up properly.
Anyone have any ideas what might be causing this? This is the first script
I've ever written using the rc.subr system, so it could be something very
simple that I missed in the docs.

Missing 30 Gig in -Current after cross-install
I have an 8Gig drive and a 30Gig drive on my PC. the 8Gig drive is known as /dev/ad2* the 30Gig drive is known as /dev/ad0* I've been running 4.9 STABLE since December on ad0, and I have been using ad2 for SWAP and TMP and other crap. Today I ran fdisk,disklabel, and newfs on ad2 and successfully completed the installation process to upgrade to 5.0-CURRENT. However, when I booted into -CURRENT, ad0 did not appear in /dev. The boot manager properly offers the option to boot from ad0 or ad2, and FreeBSD properly boots on either drive - -STABLE boots on ad0 and -CURRENT boots on ad2. When I boot into -STABLE I can still mount slices from ad2 as before, but I *cannot* mount slices from ad0 when I boot into -CURRENT. I first tried to auto-mount ad0 slices in -CURRENT by including them in /etc/fstab. When that failed I commented those entries out and rebooted and then tried to manually mount a slice from ad0 ... to no avail. ls -al /dev | grep ad0 reveals that there are no entries for ad0*. Furthermore, there are no entries in the new /dev which resemble a disk device other than those for ad2. What is I'm gonna do?
