About using setenv within Login.conf, then interpolate

2011-04-02 Thread David Marec
Hi,


I am using the following /etc/login.conf cap-file, that defines the
french class as an interpolate from default:


--- ---
default:\
:passwd_format=md5:\
:copyright=/etc/COPYRIGHT:\
:welcome=/etc/motd:\
:setenv=MAIL=/var/mail/$\
,BLOCKSIZE=K\
,FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=YES\

[...etc.]
french|Utilisateurs francophones:\
:charset=ISO-8859-15:\
:setenv=LC_COLLATE=fr_FR.ISO8859-15\
,LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.ISO8859-15\
,LC_MESSAGES=fr_FR.ISO8859-15\
,LC_MONETARY=fr_FR.ISO8859-15\
,LC_NUMERIC=fr_FR.ISO8859-15\
,LC_TIME=fr_FR.ISO8859-15\
,LC_ALL=fr_FR.ISO8859-15:\
:lang=fr_FR.ISO8859-15:\
:tc=default:

--- ---

But, the setenv tags that are defined for default are not set for
french user:



david:~pw showuser $user
david:*:1001:0:french:0:0:David Marec:/home/david:/bin/tcsh
david:~setenv | egrep -i \(mail\|ftp\)
david:~su -l
Password:

root:*:0:0::0:0:Charlie :/root:/bin/csh
root:~#setenv | egrep -i \(mail\|ftp\)
FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=YES
MAIL=/var/mail/root



What that i missed ?

 File size ~208655K = 5*208655K=1043275K !!!

 When building ports with these files it is extremely slow and not

 Is it possible to transfer the function cleandistfiles to another

 What do you think about this?

Distfiles aren't cached by default.

Uh -- the setenv entry in your french class replaces the capability from
the default class.  You get one or the other, not both.  This is
consistent with what would happen with any of the other capabilities.

I don't think there is a way to refer to a capability setting from a
parent class in the way you want.  You're just going to have to
cut'n'paste the text into your new class.

That is a good thing. But I remember an issue that I never understood. I 
onced set up a system as a mail and webserver and used packages for 
this. Fast and easy I thought and good enough. But although 
lamp/famp/samp is very common I could not install apache WITH php 
support. Why? Because php has no support for apache compiled in the 
precompiled package (it might have been the other way around; not quite 
sure). Anyway, apache+php could not be installed from packages. I had to 
compile them from ports. I hated that and could not understand why a so 
common setting is not on by default.

As Cris sais, setup DISTFILES caching per README.

  Is it possible to transfer the function cleandistfiles to another

  the construction of the entire queue, or do it manually?

There isn't done any distfile cleaning as such.
For each port build, a chroot is created and populated, then cleaned at
the end. For small ports, this takes more that the actual port build;
but no, we can't do without it if we are to have an 100% reproducible
build env.

 See above.  What I want to see is minimal installs with all features

 detection for programs shouldn't be all that difficult or computation
 intensive.  The program would just consult pkg_info or another similar
 but faster database (and maybe somewhat platform independent) of what's
 installed on the system.

It's not a minimal install if binaries are bloated with extra code
to selectively enable _all_ functionality depending upon run-time
configuration options and dependency detection, rather than just the
functionality that is going to be used.  And build times would be
longer, usually much longer, because all functionality in the software
and all possible dependencies would have be built. And of course a lot
of software would have to be rewritten.  And I think that the added
overhead would not always be negligible. So while your idea has
certain advantages, it also has disadvantages.  It does not seem
practical to implement it, even if it were desirable to do so, for
most software at the present time.

Re: FreeBSD' Webcam and DVB Compatibility List

2011-04-02 Thread Juergen Lock
In article 20110331112119.ga21...@sh4-5.1blu.de you write:
Hello,
Hi!

We have started a small documentation project in the FreeBSD Wiki: The
FreeBSD' Webcam and DVB Compatibility List.

http://wiki.freebsd.org/WebcamCompat

The main goal of this page is to give an exact answer about which
application works with a given cam or DVB. Combinations of the hardware
and software mentioned below in the table are known to work. 
Please add more lines to the table or ask me to do so by just sending a
mail with your Cam/DVB information. Please note: you should only add
information you have seen working and not you may think of or imagine
that they could work. The contact information (name and/or email addr)
is optional. 

If you want me to add your webcam or DVB, please send me a structured
ASCII line of the following format:

Cam or DVB type (USB, build-in);Manufactor;Product Name;VendorID:ProductID 
(hex);Driver or kernel module;V4L/V4L2;min. tested OS version(s);Supported 
application(s);Additional comments;Contact

i.e.
-- use ';' as separator of the fields
-- fill out all fields (if you don't know the value use 'unknown')
-- also use 'unknown' for the field Contact if you don't want your name or 
mail in the row
-- you may send it as one line (as shown above) or wraped lines after any ';'

Please use the above format and no HTML (HTML will be silently ignored).
As well, please send it to me and not to the list.

Any hints, comments or questions are welcomed, of course.

 I have added a few dvb tuners that I tested, and I have also added
a Remote Control section and added my mceusb device that I tested
with lirc, vdr, and xbmc.  Hope that's okay... :)

 Cheers,
Juergen

Sorry, I didn't explain very well.  Use mdconfig to create a device 
backed by a dumpfile.  Then factor out the code from restore to treat 
that layout as a filesystem.  Conceptually, it'd be similar to

mount_cd9660.

Which is another way to ask the question: does anything besides 
restore(8) understand the dumpfile format?  libarchive does not, 
unfortunately.


If you want proper interactive backups, I'd respectfully suggest you 
start using rsync incremental backup, for which I have a script sy

  Oh the joy of cloud computing, erm... discussion. :-)
 Wasn't that the a subplot of the hitch hikers guide?  That the sum of 
 human consciousness is just a cloud computer?  New term, old idea.

Basically, yes. The computer IS a(nother) world.



 What I'm saying I'd like to see is minimal installs.  If you need a 
 feature like for instance LDAP or SQL then you need to install that 
 port.  Need another feature? Install yet another port. 

I would like that, too - modularity on the basis of
precompiled packages. The problem would be the integration
of features on runtime base, as you correctly mentioned.
Metaports or metapackages could be used to define common
configurations, e. g. mplayer + mencoder with OSD fonts
and all the codecs or OpenOffice with german localization,
no KDE, no Gnome, no CUPS, but with dictionaries. That
would be very nice to have.



 The program 
 should detect that new programs/libraries are available or at a minimum 
 enable them though uncommenting a line in a conf file.

I would say config file (maybe with good defaults) would
be a good approach. I'm somewhat suspicious about all
the autodetect magic, because in worst case, it just
doesn't work, or is unpredictable.



 And that's the mess I don't like.  It's like the six degrees of 
 separation rule.  Installing one application sometimes means installing 
 100 other ports/packages with features the average user has no need or 
 interest in yet.  I'm just saying we should have to need to 
 install/compile all those packages when we don't need them and we should 
 have to need to recompile ports just to add a new capability.

The difference is we need vs. the program needs. Some
requirements are obvious (e. g. a Gtk program needs Gtk
libraries), but others are debatable (e. g. the Gtk File
Open... dialog defaults to incorporating SAMBA libraries,
but if you're not going to use that, _you_ will have no
use for them).



 Well I decided I wanted to try to setup pulseaudio as a network sound 
 server on a headless computer and it pulled in X. 

Yes, that's a good example. Others have already mentioned
that certain typical server functionality also may incorporate
X or at least some of its components - on a server that
doesn't have a GPU and run any X functionality.



 Sure I could 
 recompile just for that one computer.  But that isn't elegant.  The 
 storage space doesn't matter. 

It's just the most used argument. :-)



 What annoys me is the installation time 
 and the longer compile time as well as to some extent downing time.

Well, that's worth mentioning, but the reply would be: You
have two systems in parallel, while one installs, the other
one runs. :-)

But I see your point.



 The point would be that the programs wouldn't have those features 
 enabled by default, you have to configure them or the program can 
 auto-detect.

So THAT would be understandable - config file is often better,
or maybe a hierarchical desision: if config file is present, use
it; if not, try to autodetect.



 If it worked like like would like then you wouldn't be able to play 
 those files unless you downloaded another package or compiled the ports 
 for the mp3 library.  Same as it works on windows.  Don't have a codec.. 
 then you need to install one...

As I mentioned above, a typical use or full-featured
metaport or metapackage would be good; just imagine you
could pkg_add -r mplayer-full and it would install ALL
the codecs, as well as the mencoder part, without any
further questions or interactions. On the other hand,
the simple default port would install with minimal
requirements (in regards to dependencies), which could
also be very useful in certain cases, especially when
the government wants it that way. :-)



 See above.  What I want to see is minimal installs with all features 
 being usable once you install the optional components.  And run time 
 detection for programs shouldn't be all that difficult or computation 
 intensive.  The program would just consult pkg_info or another similar 
 but faster database (and maybe somewhat platform independent) of what's 
 installed on the system.

Understood and seconded: It sounds like an interesting
approach.

remaining goal.. .

2011-04-02 Thread Gary Kline

excuse the lowercase but my shoulder really is damaged beyond repair.
--last tuesday my new modem =quit= and my even newer wheelchair motor 
[right wheel] =quit=. --i'll spare the details about getting a tech here
because it would fill at least 5 pages. dunno when the shop will get me a
loaner; at least 12 da for the new motor.  [[the modem is from china; no idea
about the motor. but you can guess my opinion of such manufacturers]]

okay: last november i had trouble getting my dns to work upon reboot.  the msg
was only to stdout and mumbled something about how /etc/namedb/named.conf 
could not be found.  i am using scripts i cobbled together to even be able to
ping anyone.  essentially kill -9 the old named pid; and another to run a new
instantiation of named.   i've got ==everything== on my ups. display, modem,
three servers.  so it will be months++ before i have to reboot.  ---well
unless the big-one hits seattle   i just upgraded my 7.3 i386 last
october.  if i upgrade to 7.4 should this named fault go away.  i pretty much
do leave my server alone, but it is time get on the stick.

i'm sure that i bragged about all the ways i've dived into saving energy.
reducing my carbon footprint.  my one remaining 1998 hp kayak that sucks 100+
watts/hour can be replaced by the dedicated processor and 1.0gig of memory.  
this kit draw 4watt/hour.  i have zero knowledge about howto replace the
kayak with this kit ...  but since it is my last energy-saving goal, i'm
willing to pay whatever it costs somebody in the metro seattle area to do it.

i do have some kind of .xml file to upgrade the configuration.  given that, i
figure my computers should hum along until solid state drives are worth
buying.  3, 5 years...

i asked the seattle group of linux users if somebody could help me transfer
pfsense from computer to this kit; they pointed out that pfsense was a bsd
invention 

tia, for any help.

  I think you've misunderstood the term dependency hell [1]. Anyone
  who has spent hours struggling with rpm ... would never dare to
  even think of such terms when using the Ports Collection.
  
  Dependency purgatory?
 
 Dantency Inferno. :)
 


seriously, this is why i want that debian+freebsd that was
discussed recently.  the kernel is ours and number one in the

In worst case, use a normal mail account - either provided
by your own server or by someone you trust, so google is
out of scope. :-)

Using POP/SMTP/IMAP always gives you the required ability
to use the interface of choice, e. g. a standalone MUA that
is accessible, and no requirement to do such stuff via the
web, using the inconvenience and shortcomings of a web
browser.

I can only speak for myself regarding this suggestion, and
I may also admit that I'm not fully happy with it. I would
like to run my own mail server, but corrently I'm using
the one for POP of the provider of my domain. I avoid
SMTP as sending mail from my system (that runs a MTA)
is considered NORMAL by me. Sadly, most others who suffer
from spam do not think so, they reject messages coming from
behind a dynamic IP, so I use my ISP's relay as smarthost
for sending messages. This way, I can still use ANY mail
client program I want - I get the messages using fetchmail
and can then process them with any program, even in
parallel. For sending, I can even | mail -s bla b...@foo.bar
from the command line. It may not be optimal for all
imaginable scenarios (e. g. reading mail from a different
system, sending from a different location), but as I do
not require them, it's no big deal.

Gary, whenever you have the chance to run you own mail
system - DO IT. You have enough knowledge to keep this
kind of stuff running, and it gives you more flexibility
than anything else.

For example, you could install an IMAP interface for mail
stored on the server, so you can access it by any IMAP
capable client you want, and you could even install a web
mail client (e. g. roundcube) to bind to that IMAP inter-
face. In my opinion, this is way better than the POP/no-SMTP
thing I'm currently doing.

How does debian get around all the make config options that we deal 
with?  Such as does such and such package pull in samba...  Or does 
debian just compile with every option more or less enabled?

I hate to ask, but before you started your buildworld, did you make clean?

Also, in case you did, another thing you might try is to add COMPAT_7.  You 
already have back to 4.

Since rpc.lockd and rpc.statd expect to be able to do IP broadcast

Oh, and you can use the nolock mount option to avoid use of
rpc.lockd and rpc.statd.


based on the mount_nfs man page, as well as trying it just in case, this 
option no longer appears to be availalble in the 7.x nfs code ... :(
