Ports: Apache openoffice build eats all /usr and fails
Rebuilding and upgrading to apache openoffice on my main desktop fails because the procedure consumes all my 17 gbs of available /usr space, which still is not enough apparently. The build routine says 11gb is more than enough. Libreoffice will not build on this machine for some reason so at this point that is not an alternative. Anyone here have ideas what is wrong ( some nob must be turned the wrong way ;) ) Blessed be...

In cshell I use this prompt: set prompt = %B[%@]%b %m[%/]
The problem I face now is that if I use this prompt with symbolic links,

Is there a way of preventin this?
Yes, a very ugly way which I just found out:
alias precmd 'set WD=`pwd`; set prompt = %B[%@]%b %m[$WD] '
Example:
[3:21pm] r56[/] cd /sys
[3:21pm] r56[/usr/src/sys] _
It redefines the whole prompt at any command that could
affect the current working directory (not only cd can
do that). This is needed as any call to `pwd` stored into
a variable will only affect $prompt once - this is when
it's set, only at this time $WD would be evaluated. So
that's why this strange command. :-)
Oh, and I just improved it. How about this?
alias precmd 'set prompt = %B[%@]%b %m[`pwd`] '
Much better. :-)
I've butchered it further, but thanks for doing the *real* work:
user:
alias precmd 'set prompt = \n%{\033[32m%}%m [%h] [%@]%b%{\033[0m%}
[`pwd`]$ '
root:
alias precmd 'set prompt = \n%{\033[31m%}%m [%h] [%@]%b%{\033[0m%}
[`pwd`]$ '
Allow me a final note:
It's normal to denote non-root access with % (for csh) or $ (for
sh, bash and many others), and root access with #. You can easily
configure that to be automatically instead of $ if you like.
Example:
set promptchars = %#
set prompt = %n@%m:%~%#
For root, # will appear at the end, and % for non-root. Of course,
you can easily apply this to your setting if you like, and you can
define other characters if needed (e. g. $# or #).
Even though in your prompt shown above, root is shown by red color,
that important attribute _might_ be missing when using a non-color
terminal or a misconfigured emulator, so the user might not be
aware of the immense power currently active (as no user name is
shown in the prompt). Maybe this inspiration is useful to you.

Re: Building FreeBSD to install or update in two DESTDIRs
I would like to build FreeBSD to install in two places: regular hard drive and also on a USB stick, probably 8 GB. USB stick install would be for backup, in case something goes awry with a later update, then I have something to fall back on; could also install tools such as gdisk to use on hard drive. I tried make installkernel and make installworld, but those didn't fully work right the second time, with DESTDIR=/mnt (USB stick main partition). REALLY can't help you without any info attached. As from your description it just have to work and you did all fine. anyway i usually just do installs to DESTDIR=/something, then tar.gz it up, and untar whenever i need (but separately tar.gz for /boot/kernel subdir) use --unlink option when untarring on live system. ___ 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

Hi, I have used FreeBSD since 2002, first on i386-arch-machines and from October 2010 on an (Intel i5 750) amd64-arch-machine. On this new computer, a Dell Precision T1500, I now have three operating systems on /dev/ada1s1-3: FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE, FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE and FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE. Only the last release have the problem described in the following text. For the first time I got a problem after a kernel is recompiled. Below one can see that what now, after a recompilation should be FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE #1 still is #0, and with a faulty date/time stamp.

I guess after the first installkernel, to default location, I should immediately make installkernel again, this time with DESTDIR=/mnt? Better to make buildkernel and make installkernel as two separate steps, rather than make kernel? After rebooting single-user, do mergemaster -p, then mergemaster -p -D /mnt, and then make installworld and immediately following that, make installworld DESTDIR=/mnt ? After that, I would do mergemaster -i followed by mergemaster -i -D /mnt? And then make delete-old followed by DESTDIR=/mnt make delete-old? Would I need to do make distribution? First time, make installkernel DESTDIR=/mnt only installed part. I installed to USB stick only after fully upgrading on main installation, finally copied /boot/kernel directory, and that USB stick is now bootable. So now I know how to make a USB stick bootable with GPT. Maybe some of the files were cleaned out? It is surely useful to have a rescue backup, considering the possibility of an update going awry on the main installation.

(I think the client is the biggest part, but still, do not need the server part hanging around if it would work happily that way) The upstream OpenAFS build system is not condusive to just building the client; I have asked about this. It is fairly easy to just build the server, but since my interest was mostly in the client I did not add an option for doing so. Thanks for the report, and sorry to have been so slow at catching up to 8.3/10.0. -Ben Kaduk ___ 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
