options used to compile packages
Hi, I want to compile packages from the ports collections with exactly the same options that have been used to compile the official packages from the official freebsd package collection. Is the var/db/ports directory used to compile the official freebsd package collection available somewhere ? If not, it would be very good to make it available as ports default options seem to be different from options used to compile official packages.

Re: can't build teTeX port in FreeBSD 8.2 amd64
Yes, I'm aware of this, but texlive is not an option for me, unless and until it appears in the port tree. But I'm also aware of the step up or shut up reality, so I shut up. As Frank pointed out, It's common to have more than one TeX distribution installed. I have had TeTex and TeXlive installed for quite some time and indeed multiple versions of TeXlive can live together in /usr/local. Maybe that would work for you. Anyway it sounds as though you're happy with your setup which is the main thing. I'll probably only ever use a small subset of the TeXlive distribution, there is so much there.

Personally I wouldn't want to be the one ot try it out. :-) I also have a bunch of ports in this server (e.g. apache, postfix, etc.) Once the OS is updated, should I just portupgrade them all? Doesn't work reliably across major version updates. When updating to a newer major version, the best way is to delete all ports (save their config files of course), scrub the /usr/local tree clean and then re-install them.

Did the usual make kernel / world stuff mergemaster prebuild in the middle and mergemaster after the update then I rebuilt all the ports. I recently did a 6.4-STABLE 8.2-RELEASE-p2 migration to another server, but without using only some initial old config files from the old system because I had to build a better environment with other software for the same role (almost the same thing that Matt recommended you). For me this is a longer procedure then updating all the software and checking for maybe now deprecated options and other problems. So I think its down to your level of knowledge and personal preference ( whether you want to check what is to problem in case something goes wrong- I like this because I get to know the system and the inner workings in more detail). I personally don't like freebsd-update, and if your are new to the build from source way, you should really go with building up from scratch, then migrate. In case you want to update have a WORKING backup, and do a test run for the update (restore your 6.4 on a test machine and try to update it) before you bring down the productive system. Good luck!

Its kind of anoying in my opinion that lang/php can be php v4, 5.2 or 5.3 depending on what version of the os you run, when there is stall a php52 port in say 8-stable. Makes keeping consistent php versions more difficult. In my experience portmaster is better than portupgrade as it doesnt have to mess around with binary dbs of the ports ___ 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: options used to compile packages
Hi, well I don't actually now which package it was, but I compiled gdm (so it should be one of it's dependencies). A compilation resulted in a non working gdm (something with pam support not found on execution). Upon installing gdm and is dependencies from packages, everything worked correctly. Therefore I thought there might be other default options. I am sorry that I cannot be more precise, but I tried it 2 months ago, so I do not remember exactly. I think I will try it again from scratch with latest ports tree and give you more precise information.

Re: Multimedia
I use FBSD mainly as a server so I don't have much experience on these devices for FBSD. This is just an idea, but maybe with this WinTV stuff you may have better luck using the Linux compatibility layer (take advantage of software and drivers for V4L UVC, etc.). People run stuff like Skype through that and it seems to work very well albeit a small performance penalty. Before going through the trouble, make sure it actually works in Linux and then figure out if the linuxator layer can actually help you out.

Re: options used to compile packages
I want to compile packages from the ports collections with exactly the same options that have been used to compile the official packages from the official freebsd package collection. Is the var/db/ports directory used to compile the official freebsd package collection available somewhere ? If not, it would be very good to make it available as ports default options seem to be different from options used to compile official packages. As far as I know, the default options are used to compile the standard packages. Where did you think that there were differences? The official builds use a vanilla ports tree, and the scripts at http://svnweb.FreeBSD.org/base/projects/portbuild/ . b. ___ 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: gcc 4.4.7
I decided to switch from portmaster to portupgrade and pkddb -F show many stale dependencies on gcc-4.4.5.20110503 (lang/gcc44). Do I need to put new dependencies to gcc-4.5.4.20110630 or something else, please? For portmaster I put IGNOREMI+ line and it works but I don't know how to do with portupgrade. I am not sure what you mean by using +IGNOREME here. Unless you have a good reason to use lang/gcc44, you should replace lang/gcc44 with lang/gcc45, and rebuild or otherwise obtain newer versions of the packages that formerly used lang/gcc44 at runtime, so that the newer packages use the libraries from lang/gcc45 at runtime. The bookkeeping in the portupgrade database and in /var/db/pkg, and the updating tool(s) that you choose to use, are relatively minor details. If you choose to use portupgrade to do this, you should probably do something like: portupgrade -o lang/gcc45 lang/gcc44 portupgrade -rfx lang/gcc45 lang/gcc45 (although it has been a while since I used portupgrade). You may want to first try the steps with an added -n. b. ___ 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: options used to compile packages
well I don't actually now which package it was, but I compiled gdm (so it should be one of it's dependencies). A compilation resulted in a non working gdm (something with pam support not found on execution). Upon installing gdm and is dependencies from packages, everything worked correctly. Therefore I thought there might be other default options. I am sorry that I cannot be more precise, but I tried it 2 months ago, so I do not remember exactly. I think I will try it again from scratch with latest ports tree and give you more precise information. In addition to the obvious possibilities that your test was faulty, or that you somehow polluted your build environment, It is also possible that: -at least one of your ports was a different version than used in the default packages, and had a bug; -there was a transient build error; or -you were using a different version of FreeBSD than that used to build the default packages that you used, and there is a problem with one of the ports on that version of FreeBSD. b. ___ 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: how to force a hard reboot remotely
When bottom replying, please clear the header and signature - thanks. You can set up a BIOS boot time, if you can get onsite... that would allow you to power it down at, say, 11:59PM and have it power back on at Midnight. Or a UPS that's controlled by another machine. Or the magic packet WOL option... but those require another machine. Maybe a switch or router than can send WOL packets would be a possibility? -- Ryan On Jul 16, 2011, at 10:31 PM, Bill Tillman wrote: WOW! That's a tall order.

Get a microcontroller and a relay, and tell the microcontroller to kill power to the system. Make sure in the BIOS you're set to restart when the power comes back on. If that fails you'll need another relay to short the on button. I don't know of anything in the computer that could be easily used instead of a microcontroller. You might be able to find something that'll work related to home automation.
