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.

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.

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. -- Polytropon 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
