new package system proposal
Hi all I was thinking about the waste of energy and time involved in lots of people around the world all compiling the same code such as openoffice, firefox, kde etc and wondering how the package system could be improved. Ports is rightly a flagship element of FreeBSD. The benefit is configureability and consistency. The obvious downside is it takes so long to update a desktop machine with a normal set of ports installed, particularly lower spec hardware or laptops. pkg_add somewhat addresses this but it doesn't work quite as well as ports because of possible version mismatches. The suggestion below is not aimed at servers because they have completely different requirements. My suggestion is to start with a ports tree that is fixed in time. Make that ports tree available as part of this package system and compile a typical desktop set of ports, particularly choosing ones which are large or have many dependencies. When it is all complete release it and start again. Surely quite a wide selection of desktops, wm's and apps could be compiled in a couple of weeks? Modify pkg_add so that it can be told to use this 'snapshot' including downloading the fixed ports tree that was used. Some benefits to this system are - much easier for lower power or laptop users to keep their desktop machine up to date - problems with particular ports can be centrally fixed by knowledgeable people, possibly reducing time on lists. - reduced energy use for everyone. - the ports system is still available for those who do want to change the config options - ports which are not included in the snapshot are still available - since this system has already provided the larger ports as packages, the remaining ones would be less onerous to install - ports that are installed with make install would maintain compatibility with the other installed packages. - don't need to mess with portupgrade etc. - it could (I think) be fitted fairly well into the existing package building process. - it generally increases the useability of FreeBSD as a desktop system. I think this could work because I think the default config options are probably suitable for most desktop users so it wouldn't be necessary to create loads of different binaries for the same port, and security considerations are not so important as for server admins. I would probably limit it to i386 architecture initially as that is probably by far the most common desktop system. It might be possible to distribute the actual compiling to users with spare cpu cycles, a bit like the s...@home projects etc. Chris ___ 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: new package system proposal
Compiling applications in general will lead you into one main problem: Many ports have different options that need to be set at compile time. For a set of n options, 2^n packages would be created, if I consider the WITH_SOMETHING options only. One example is mplayer. Its various options select which codecs to include or if / if not to build with mencoder. In regards of different national law, it may even be prohibited to include a several codec, so it needs to be installed afterwards manually. Another example is (you mentioned it) OpenOffice. In the past, I was happy to do # pkg_add -r de-openoffice or something similar. Today, I'm happy that someone put a precompiled package of OpenOffice online and announced it on the de- mailing list. The topic internationalization comes into mind here. I'm not sure how OpenOffice decides which language to use, maybe this is to be set at compile time, too. (Side note: I prefer good english language in my programs instead of poor german translation which is quite bad. OpenOffice, and in the past StarOffice, is the only exception for me.) As you see, I am a big fan of pkg_add, but it doesn't work in every case.

It's always good to use an integrated tool such as portupgrade or portmaster to get rid of such problems (like pkgdb -aF).

Well, when we're talking about desktop systems, there are the both two big philosophies: (a) install it once, use it then (b) always upgrade There are (reasonable) needs for both concepts, and they may even mix. Thinking about the problems / difficulties that came up with the recent X.org update, my X is still in (a) state. :-) I think this could work because I think the default config options are probably suitable for most desktop users so it wouldn't be necessary to create loads of different binaries for the same port, [...] I may disagree and bring (only) one example: mplayer.

In the past, I was happy to do # pkg_add -r de-openoffice or something similar. Today, I'm happy that someone put a precompiled package of OpenOffice online and announced it on the de- mailing list. Hmmm... I was thinking about this the other day. There are two classes of behaviour where OPTIONS functionality could be passed down to the compiled pkg level. The first is where choosing an option /only/ affects the dependency tree for a package. The phpMyAdmin port I maintain is like this: by setting OPTIONS you can avoid installing some php modules -- the phpMyAdmin code automatically detects the presence or absence of those modules and does the right thing automatically. Adding an interactive options menu to provide the same functionality when installing from packages seems to me to be do-able, although I admit to no great expertise at C programming. However, aside from meta- ports, this sort of OPTIONS behaviour is probably fairly unusual in the ports tree. The second case is far more common and far more interesting. This is where toggling an option controls whether some sub-set of files get installed or not, without any changes to other parts of the port. Adding different localizations in many programs, or choosing which out of a set of drivers for different pieces of hardware to install (eg. in print/ghostscript8) are cases in point. Now, one answer to providing the full flexibility of such a port when installed via packages is simply to split up the port into a lot of smaller ports, which reduces the problem to the previous one of using OPTIONS to control the dependency tree. The various different php5 modules are a good example of this sort of approach in practice. The disadvantages are exploding the number of directories within the ports tree, requiring maintainers for all of the newly created tiny little ports and generally increasing the amount of work it takes to maintain everything. Now, one way of alleviating some of the the maintenance burden would be a fairly simple idea I had. At the moment, there's a one-to-one relationship between port directories in the ports tree and the packages installed from them. But that doesn't have to be so: why can't typing 'make install' in a port directory end up installing several different packages? Seems quite feasible to me to install a number of sub-ports as one operation. One final note: there's a degenerate case of this behaviour for virtually all ports in the tree. When installing from ports, you can set 'NOPORTDOCS' and 'NOPORTEXAMPLES' to avoid installing documentation or examples respectively. When installing from packages you don't get that capability. Having foo-docs-n.nn.nn and foo-examples-n.nn.nn sub-ports would give you that. cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate Kent, CT11 9PW signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Re: new package system proposal
Chris Whitehouse cwhi...@onetel.com wrote: My suggestion is to start with a ports tree that is fixed in time. Make that ports tree available as part of this package system and compile a typical desktop set of ports ... Isn't this exactly what is currently done as part of a release? The ports tree is tagged so that a snapshot can be retrieved using csup, and packages are built for publication on (for example) ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7.0-release/ Granted this includes all package-distributable ports rather than a typical desktop subset. Modify pkg_add so that it can be told to use this 'snapshot' including downloading the fixed ports tree that was used. AFAIK pkg_add currently does not download the ports tree at all -- that is done using csup or portsnap -- but it can be directed to a release set or other remote package repository via the -r flag. My only issue with that approach is that, last I knew, there was no way to specify a mix of local and remote repositories (to deal with the case where I have already downloded some subset of what I end up needing, so I want pkg_add to search locally first and use the remote repository only for packages that it can't find locally). ___ 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

I got the impression from the 2nd and 3rd non-quote paragraphs here: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2008-November/026898.html that what you want is a full svk mirror, and since it was being advocated I presumed that it could be set up by a reasonably simple, if initially time/bandwidth intensive, mechanism.

Re: portupgrade fu... AKA there has to be a better way

It's not as easy portupgrade -af because of all the special handling instructions of many ports. I have not found an easy way to keep track of the ports that need to be forcibly updated but have not undergone a version change. Because I approach the upgrade in steps, I need to run portupgrade several times but want to exclude stuff already compiled under 7.x. What I need is a command like: # portupgrade -af -x already compiled on 7 Suggestions, comments, rebukes welcome. Assuming you start the upgrade today, then: # portupgrade -af -x =2009-04-04 hmmm, I don't think it gets much easier than that.

Updating Perl..
Hello list. When one updates perl, one should rebuild all ports dependend on perl according to the UPDATING file. I'm just wondering, isn't the script perl-after-upgrade supposed to do the work needed, so that one can save the time of upgrading the ports?
