Someone once posted a shell script that obtained a list of installed ports
from the package database system and fed the results to pkg_create, which
would create binary packages. Unfortunately, I can't locate the script.
cd /var/db/pkg
mkdir /var/tmp/packages
for DIR in *; do
if test -d ${DIR} -a -f ${DIR}/+CONTENTS; do
pkg_create -vb ${DIR} /var/tmp/packages/${DIR}.tbz
fi
done
This will create a package for all installed software in /var/tmp/packages.
Adjust accordingly.
Once ssh is in place on target:
scp -rp /var/tmp/packages target.machine:/var/tmp
On target:
cd /var/tmp/packages
for FILE in *; do pkg_add ${FILE}; done
Then all that's left is /usr/local/etc/ and possibly some
dirs /usr/local/share.

If you're maintaining servers, that could cause an outage while you try to remember what your edits were. one has to remember the port's configuration whichever method is used. my memory isn't good so i keep detailed notes. recording in these notes which checkboxes in the config pseudo-gui were checked and unchecked is not convenient. i'm not sure i wouldn't prefer editing a file and keeping a diff with my notes, as i do for the other config files i change. Your choices for the config of a port are saved in the ports system. (Look in /var/db/ports/ if you're curious.) Unless you need to make some changes, they will be pre-selected each time you update the port. (There are some exceptions to this, where ports will always prompt for the config.) If you think a port is incorrectly built (unnecessary dependencies, for example) there's nothing wrong with submitting a PR and asking the maintainer to update the port. If the maintainer rejects your changes, you can always edit locally later, but your submission could benefit thousands of people. IOW, if you're the smartest guy on the block, please don't keep it to yourself. i'm certainly not smart enough to know what might be a better way to design ports like php. but one thing seems odd to me. i ended up with dozens of ports installed that appeared to use nothing but the same php-5.2.8.tar.bz2 distfile. relative to what i'm used to with php (i.e. manual configure, compile, install) this seems a bit untidy and i'm nervous what it might mean for maintenance. Php used to be one monolithic port. The problem was that it required a gazillion options, and many people didn't want anything but the base install. So php#-extensions was created to simplify the install of the base port and make the options more flexible. For example, if a new extension comes out, you can simply install it. No need to reinstall the entire php port. You needn't worry about updating. That's all taken care of in the ports system. When you run portupgrade or portmaster, the extensions ports that need to be updated will be. my guess is that this approach allows the ports framework to handle conditional installation of dependent software on a relatively fine-grained basis depending which options the user chooses. that's a nice feature to have. but wouldn't it be nicer if were just one port with dependencies based off its configuration? I think you can make a solid argument either way. seems that would reduce clutter in the ports tree too and maybe effort for the ports maintainer. I don't think we are worried about clutter in the ports tree. There are over 16,000 ports (and rising), so another 10 or 20 in php is a fairly insignificant increase. -- Paul Schmehl (pa...@utdallas.edu) Senior Information Security Analyst The University of Texas at Dallas http://www.utdallas.edu/ir/security/

Absolutely not. Don't be confused that the various php5-foo ports all use the same distfile: it's a big lump of code, and the individual modules selectively compile bits of it. Don't be perturbed that you have a large number of ports installed -- after all a port is ultimately just a set of files treated together as a block. This just means you're getting finer grained control over what you've got installed on your machine. No -- the current design of the way PHP is dealt with in ports is brilliant. Consider the alternative -- in fact the way it used to be done. As the maintainer of the port of a PHP application I need to ensure certain functionality is compiled into PHP for that application to work. Unless the functionality I need happens to be a strict subset of what is provided by default, I have to create and maintain slave ports of php4 and php5 with the appropriate configuration flags. Which is a PITA. Now, ask yourself what happens if I want to install two different PHP applications simultaneously? OK, now we need another set of PHP slave ports to support that combination. Before you know it, the ports tree is buried in a combinatorial explosion of different PHP slave ports all with slightly different combinations of options. No one understands quite what they really should be installing in any particular circumstance. Because the ports are now too difficult to use, standard advice on mailing lists is 'compile and install by hand.' Oh, the embarrassment! Compare this to the system we have now. PHP application depends on the foo, bar and baz modules. php5-foo and php5-bar are already installed, so now we just get php5-baz installed automatically to fulfil the dependencies as a routine effect of installing the app. Now add yet another app that depends on baz and quux. php5-baz is already installed, so just the php5-quux module is installed as a dependency. Everyone is happy. From the port maintainer's point of view, the setup is particularly sweet too. At a minimum to declare that your port uses PHP and needs modules foo, bar and baz, all you need to do is add a line: USE_PHP = foo bar baz to the port's Makefile. In a lot of cases, that really is /all/ you have to do. Even the more complicated stuff with OPTIONS dialogues or that use different module sets for php4 vs. php5 are only slightly harder to deal with.

I then build packages based on this information in a clean environment; typically a dedicated jail. Because all configuration is declarative, and nothing is a function of interactive dialogs, I know I can reproduce the package set + config at any time.

Hello, Answering my own mail ;) Ott Köstner wrote: Still, something locks up in the system, when I increase the number Python threads with http://grub.org/?q=en/node/204 [...] The frequency of these messages increases with 70 threads. And with 200 threads the system locks up totally -- almost no access from web. [I can still access the system and kill the process :) ] Clearly, there is some limit in the system. It is not memory, cpu or bandwidth. If the number of threads is also not limited, it must be something else. What might it be?

Though a lot of things can be handled by: 1) environment variables (temporary) 2) /etc/make.conf (permanent) 3) Makefile.local (permanent, inclusion is at bsd.port.pre.mk stage which allows you to override hardcoded settings) It is needed in some cases to edit the makefile to fix things or remove dependencies that the maintainer didn't find necessary to remove or even to fix bugs. I agree with you with one caveat. Make sure that you know what you're doing before you do this, and be prepared for the consequences. For example, if you edit any files in a port, they will be overwritten when you update your ports. That means you'll have to make those edits again. thanks. i was going to ask about that. If you're maintaining your own workstation, that might be an educational experience. If you're maintaining servers, that could cause an outage while you try to remember what your edits were. one has to remember the port's configuration whichever method is used. my memory isn't good so i keep detailed notes. recording in these notes which checkboxes in the config pseudo-gui were checked and unchecked is not convenient. i'm not sure i wouldn't prefer editing a file and keeping a diff with my notes, as i do for the other config files i change. If you think a port is incorrectly built (unnecessary dependencies, for example) there's nothing wrong with submitting a PR and asking the maintainer to update the port. If the maintainer rejects your changes, you can always edit locally later, but your submission could benefit thousands of people. IOW, if you're the smartest guy on the block, please don't keep it to yourself. i'm certainly not smart enough to know what might be a better way to design ports like php. but one thing seems odd to me. i ended up with dozens of ports installed that appeared to use nothing but the same php-5.2.8.tar.bz2 distfile. relative to what i'm used to with php (i.e. manual configure, compile, install) this seems a bit untidy and i'm nervous what it might mean for maintenance. my guess is that this approach allows the ports framework to handle conditional installation of dependent software on a relatively fine-grained basis depending which options the user chooses. that's a nice feature to have. but wouldn't it be nicer if were just one port with dependencies based off its configuration? seems that would reduce clutter in the ports tree too and maybe effort for the ports maintainer. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: looking for a secondary.
Gary Kline wrote: well, i've certainly asked more ignorant q's, so hrer goes: what is a ``zone''? i do my own dns and have since 04/2001. A zone is a group of related DNS records all under the same administrative control. 'Related' meaning they all end in the same sequence of labels. Zone boundaries are determined pretty much by delegation to another set of DNS servers. So there's a '.org' zone containing primarily the NS records for all the domains registered under .org. This is distinct from the 'thought.org' zone you control and here all the sub-entries like www.thought.org or plato.thought.org are part of the same zone. It's not an entirely cut and dried definition, but you can think of a zone as 'the chunk of the DNS space that one person controls.' thought.org is my one domain, altho i've got several virtual websites. 'domain' in DNS-speak is any sequence of labels[*] known to the DNS. So even if the DNS data is a host name, an e-mail address, the name of a whole network, a crypto key for DKIM or DNSSEC or some aggregate service name hosted across several different servers via SRV records, they're all domains. Domains can be absolute (ie. from the root of the DNS) or relative to some intermediate domain. ie. 'thought.org' is your only zone, although you've got several domains within it for virtual websites. Cheers, Matthew [*] And a 'label' is a sequence of characters not including the separator character '.' -- a domain is hence a sequence of labels joined together by '.' characters.

This is the site i have been following ... http://www.freebsddiary.org/apsfilter.php According to your printer model, I think you're best off using CUPS (common UNIX printing system). Don't get me wrong: I've used apsfilter myself for several years now without problems, HP and Lexmark laser printers attached, but since I needed to install FreeBSD 7 from scratch, including new apsfilter version, the printer don't duplex anymore. Furthermore, CUPS is known for supporting more printers than apsfilter does. In some way, it seems that it can even support printers that claim to be Windows only. Basically, you should read the handbook's section about printing and then follow the CUPS documentation about how to set uo your particular printer. Printing on FreeBSD can be described as consisting of three parts: the printer queue (spool) which is managed by the OS itself, the printing converter control (CUPS, apsfilter) and finally the particular drivers or converters for the printer. If everyone would have a PS capable printer, only the first part would be needed. :-) -- Polytropon From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
RE: PHP5 as apache module using packages
Hi all; Ok so i've reinstalled fBSD-7 and i'm running apache 2.2 installed using pkg_add I need to also run php as a module for apache (the web software i'm using requires php as module no cgi). Curious: what software and why? The only valid reason is that the sofware writes php_value/php_flag options to .htaccess files. This has many other implications and I would carefully examine the software and all other websoftware I have installed, before allowing this. The software is elgg.org, it is social software, i'm working on a project for a world of warcraft guild (yes this is a money deal), they are looking for a facebookish type site with some custom world of warcraft stuff done. I haven't really looked too much at the software yet although I'm going to. This is going to be on a dedicated server, not doing anything else.

To find the files changed on serverA between snapshot0 and snapshot0+1,
any current dump or equivalent will have to read all file records of
1TB partition, inside snapshot0+1 complete view of partition, to find 1
changed file. Even on nice day, it may take more than 1mn.
But the beauty and efficiency of snapshot concept is that snapshot0 file
(internal structure) contains a reference to all data blocks changed
between snapshot0 and snapshot0+1 : this is why a snapshot file is so
small and efficient.
It is certainly possible to find in snapshot0 file inside structure the
list of blocks changed until snapshot0+1 was made, and then find which
file is the owner of the changed blocks.
Then it will appear that only 1 file has been changed on whole partition
and we just have to send this changed file from snapshot0+1 view to
serverB.
So using the internal structure of snapshots file is far more efficient
than reading all directory records for last change time...
Please note that i try to use the expressions snapshot file and
snapshot view very cautiosly, because they don't mean the same at all :-)
And what snapshots do you mean? As in mksnap_ffs? Cause that's described
in /usr/src/sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_snapshot.c:
127 TAILQ_HEAD(snaphead, inode);
128
129 struct snapdata {
130 struct snaphead sn_head;
131 daddr_t sn_listsize;
132 daddr_t *sn_blklist;
133 struct lock sn_lock;
134 };
135
and not exposed to userland.
Thanks, this is a good hint ! Just needing some doc and help to
understand how to use it : i'm more in design now, programmation skills
are far away :-(
Best regards,

I encourage understanding the system and editing to suit your needs. It's a transparent system, unlike many others out there, so you might as well make good use of it. Though a lot of things can be handled by: 1) environment variables (temporary) 2) /etc/make.conf (permanent) 3) Makefile.local (permanent, inclusion is at bsd.port.pre.mk stage which allows you to override hardcoded settings) It is needed in some cases to edit the makefile to fix things or remove dependencies that the maintainer didn't find necessary to remove or even to fix bugs. I agree with you with one caveat. Make sure that you know what you're doing before you do this, and be prepared for the consequences. For example, if you edit any files in a port, they will be overwritten when you update your ports. That means you'll have to make those edits again. If you're maintaining your own workstation, that might be an educational experience. If you're maintaining servers, that could cause an outage while you try to remember what your edits were. If you think a port is incorrectly built (unnecessary dependencies, for example) there's nothing wrong with submitting a PR and asking the maintainer to update the port. If the maintainer rejects your changes, you can always edit locally later, but your submission could benefit thousands of people.

Absolutely not. Don't be confused that the various php5-foo ports all use the same distfile: it's a big lump of code, and the individual modules selectively compile bits of it. Don't be perturbed that you have a large number of ports installed -- after all a port is ultimately just a set of files treated together as a block. This just means you're getting finer grained control over what you've got installed on your machine. fair enough. this seems analogous to the long list of options i used to use on ./configure when installing from the php tarball. No -- the current design of the way PHP is dealt with in ports is brilliant. Consider the alternative -- in fact the way it used to be done. relative to other ways of designing ports i can accept that the current one is better. my point of view, however, is someone transitioning from manual install to using lang/php5-extensions. it's new to me and i need to learn. the conversation here has been very helpful (thanks again, all). at the same time i'm transitioning from 6.2 to 7.0 and learning how to use freebsd-update and portmaster. previously, upgrading freebsd was such a big project that i'd do it on the production servers very infrequently and reinstalling all the apps from scratch after os upgrade seemed acceptable. but now it seems silly not to take advantage of the new automation tools for freebsd and ports updates. hence learning to use ports for everything seems like the way to go. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Someone once posted a shell script that obtained a list of installed
ports
from the package database system and fed the results to pkg_create, which
would create binary packages. Unfortunately, I can't locate the script.
cd /var/db/pkg
mkdir /var/tmp/packages
for DIR in *; do
if test -d ${DIR} -a -f ${DIR}/+CONTENTS; do
pkg_create -vb ${DIR} /var/tmp/packages/${DIR}.tbz
fi
done
This will create a package for all installed software in /var/tmp/packages.
Adjust accordingly.
Once ssh is in place on target:
scp -rp /var/tmp/packages target.machine:/var/tmp
On target:
cd /var/tmp/packages
for FILE in *; do pkg_add ${FILE}; done
Then all that's left is /usr/local/etc/ and possibly some
dirs /usr/local/share.

Grant Peel wrote: I have a somewhat broken installation of php 4.4.7 and the extensions and want to completely remove them and reinstall them. How does one conpletely remove php4 (from ports) and the extensions to ensure a clean install? Make sure you have good backups. Also make sure you have a handy list of all the ports you started with: # pkg_info -Ia /root/initial.ports Now, delete the lang/php4 port and everything that depends on it. The easiest way to do this is with the pkg_deinstall program which is part of portupgrade(1): # pkg_deinstall -dfr php4 'php4' is actually a packagename glob, so this will delete any package mentioning 'php4' in its name, plus every thing depending on those ports. So it will delete pure PECL or PEAR code modules and end user applications as well. Then regenerate the list of ports you've got installed and diff it against the initial list as a sanity check: # pkg_info -Ia /root/final.ports # diff -u initial.ports final.ports That should be pretty much it. If you've stripped out everything PHP related then /usr/local/lib/php/ and /usr/local/share/pear/ should be empty or gone completely, and there should be no ports left with 'php', 'pear' or 'pecl' prominently in their names. Nor should you have 'eaccelerator' or 'zend' related stuff still there. You'll still have some PHP related files in /usr/local/etc/ which you can delete or not as required -- they all have php in the name or directory path making them quite easy to identify. Note however that if you're intending to upgrade to PHP5 then you must delete /usr/local/etc/php.conf first, as that's the file that tells bsd.php.mk which version of PHP you're using.

linux_base question
I'm trying to keep all FreeBSD servers in my net as I have since the late 90s. I have a requirement to get a quickbooks enterprise server running so I was going to attempt to use compat_linux. It struck me that if I knew the following list of supported linux implementations, I should be able to figure out the best port to use. So far, it doesn't seem too clear to me. Here are the linux versions supported by the 2 daemons Intuit puts out: CentOS 5 Debian (Lenny) Fedora 6 / 7 / 8 Mandriva OpenSuSE 10.2 / 10.3 Ubuntu 6.06 / 7.04 / 7.10 / 8.0 Here are the components needed. Gamin - 0.1.7.7 or newer or Fam – 2.7.0 or newer Glibc – 2.5-3 or newer, or Libc6 – 2.5-3 or newer Libgcc – 4.2.1 or newer Libstdc++ - 4.2.1 or newer Which of the linux_base* ports would be best to attempt to run these two daemons. I just updated ports and have the following shown linux_base-f7 linux_base-f8 linux_base-fc4 linux_base-fc6 (and several Gentoo) Freshports shows fc4 as what you need to support a 2.4 kernel and the others as Ignore? What little I could figure out suggests at least some of those linux versions above are 2.6 something kernels. I guessed f8 but then found threads saying it was experimental. I'm just not getting it. Is there an easy answer or will this be a trial and error?

And what snapshots do you mean? As in mksnap_ffs? Cause that's described
in /usr/src/sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_snapshot.c:
127 TAILQ_HEAD(snaphead, inode);
128
129 struct snapdata {
130 struct snaphead sn_head;
131 daddr_t sn_listsize;
132 daddr_t *sn_blklist;
133 struct lock sn_lock;
134 };
135
and not exposed to userland.
Thanks, this is a good hint ! Just needing some doc and help to
understand how to use it : i'm more in design now, programmation skills
are far away :-(
I'm still wondering if you're not better off with ZFS, but this does seem like
a useful app in it's own right.
The TAILQ_HEAD statement means it's creating a tail queue(3) (double linked
fifo/stack) of inodes. The snapdata structure contains the start of the list,
the size and a lock. The sn_blklist pointer, I will have to look up.
I think i'm gonna have fun with this for a bit ;)
