Re: svn checkout head or stable
Ed Flecko schreef: My goal is to simply have a production server that's fully patched, but I will be running custom kernels (which is why I'm not using freebsd-update). I've seen a lot of subversion references to checking out the head branch and the stable branch. I understand the head branch is the most current, so that's the same as the current branch, right? If I understand correctly, most people will not follow the current branch for production servers. My goal is to have all of the files I need to rebuild my kernel and my system after security updates have been released, therefore I should do something like: svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/9 /usr/src svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/ports/stable/9 /usr/ports svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/doc/stable/9 /usr/doc This will give me everything I need to recompile and have a fully patched system, right? I do not make changes to the src, ports, or doc directories. From that point forward, as new security patches are released, I can simply: svn up /usr/src svn up /usr/ports svn up /usr/doc and once again rebuild my kernel and system. Does this sound correct? Ed ___ 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 It sounds correct but is not :D If you use svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/9 /usr/src then you are tracking stable. Stable is a not a release that receives patches. Stable receives code from head(current) that has been tested in Current(head), but did not get real exposure in the stable branch which is now 9. Stable is the code that is altered between releases. So Stable might contain some bugs from head that are only exposed in the current code base. So if you want a production system which only receive patches you need to track release. svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/releng/9.1 /usr/src To sum it up: (please correct me if i am wrong) So for the latest and greatest use head which is FreeBSD 10 Current svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/head /usr/src If you want the stable branch use svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/9 /usr/src This will give you FreeBSD 9 Stable If you want to track release with patches use svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/releng/9.1 /usr/src This will give you FreeBSD 9.1-px where px is the patch level if any.

Re: PC-BSD 9.0 in VirtualBox
[ Mike Jeays wrote on Thu 27.Sep'12 at 22:56:42 -0400 ] I have been running PC-BSD 9.0 with the KDE interface in a VirtualBox VM, and notice that it uses CPU resources when idle, driving up my CPU temperature about 15 degrees on an otherwise idle machine. (It is an Intel i5 quad four). Is this to be expected? Purefuly a guess, but I would imagine that's KDE for you. From what i've read on forums and such-like, KDE is very memory intensive in terms of using it all up! I tried PC-BSD on my current machine, I found it to be slow because of the Desktop. I've only ever used BSD on this machine and have never experienced that problem when using my preferred minimal window manager. The machine in question is a 2 core Pentium K8 class, with 2G of ram.

Re: How to use subversion to keep source, system and doc files up to date?
[ Warren Block wrote on Thu 27.Sep'12 at 14:11:39 -0600 ] Yes. If a new version of a file conflicts with your local changes, svn will complain and try to help resolve those conflicts. When I changed to svn, I completely remove or moved (mv(1)) the /usr/ports tree. Created a new /usr/ports and then used svn to pull in the collection. The same for the base course tree in /usr/src. It's my understanding you need to do that first. You can't use a mixed file system tree comprising cvs/csup and svn files. I'm sure Some will correct that if i'm wrong, but that's what I did and i've experienced no problems with it. The only noticeable difference is when updating my ports collection with svn, it's slower to update than say portsnap or cvs/csup. But it's not a major issue for me. ___ 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

percona xtradb server cluster for FreeBSD
Hello everyone, A couple of days ago I contacted percona (http://www.percona.com/software/percona-server) about the possibility of them maintaining a port of the XtraDB server cluster software. Their reply was that they didn't see too many downloads for *BSD platforms and they've taken this to mean that there's a lack of interest in seeing the software running on *BSD. If you would like to see their software conveniently available as FreeBSD ports, I encorage you to contact them @ http://form.percona.com/ContactMe.html As long as there's user/customer interest, they appear to be receptive to the idea.

Any chance the CPU load actually drops when you are doing something? I remember some issues a while back with FreeBSD in VMware consuming 100% CPU when idle. Possible this could be related. The other thought would be screen savers, if you are running one in the VM, the VM has to use CPU to process the graphics, and that could be cause. KDE itsefl does use a decent amount of memory, but while idle it shouldn't be stressing the CPU. -- Thanks, Dean E.

On Fri, 28 Sep 2012, Jamie Paul Griffin wrote: [ Warren Block wrote on Thu 27.Sep'12 at 14:11:39 -0600 ] Yes. If a new version of a file conflicts with your local changes, svn will complain and try to help resolve those conflicts. When I changed to svn, I completely remove or moved (mv(1)) the /usr/ports tree. Created a new /usr/ports and then used svn to pull in the collection. The same for the base course tree in /usr/src. It's my understanding you need to do that first. You can't use a mixed file system tree comprising cvs/csup and svn files. I'm sure Some will correct that if i'm wrong, but that's what I did and i've experienced no problems with it. Right, but conflicts are what happen if you change files after the checkout. For example, I have a couple of custom patches to source. If new versions of the source are checked in to the FreeBSD svn repository, and they conflict with my local changes, svn will give a warning and help try to resolve them. The only noticeable difference is when updating my ports collection with svn, it's slower to update than say portsnap or cvs/csup. But it's not a major issue for me. This seems to be highly variable, possibly depending on how often you update. For me, svn is at least as fast as cvs, and it feels faster. Might just be a lot of fast screen output. portsnap is easily the slowest on my systems.

You can download a pre-built INDEX by 'make fetchindex' which will be perfectly adequate for the vast majority of users. What you don't get by using the pre-built INDEX is the effect of any local customizations or options settings. This means that the INDEX may disagree in detail about exactly what dependencies some ports have. However, the INDEX is not used as part of actually building anything, so those discrepancies are mere annoyances rather than real obstacles. And, indeed, you can build and install ports very happily without any sort of INDEX on your system at all. Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.

Kernel asks only for the first GELI passphrase
Hello, I have two partitions encrypted with GELI: ada0s2 and ada0s3. The loader (located at an unencrypted part of the harddisk) loads the kernel and the kernel asks me for the passphrase for ada0s2 to attach it afterwards. However - my root file system is not at ada0s2.elia but on ada0s3.elia. Since the kernel did no attach ada0s3 (but the ada0s2 partition) it is also unable to mount the root filesystem which is somewhat bad. So - is there a way (i.e. a loader.conf entry) how I can tell the loader which partition I wanna have attached with a passphrase? I tried to look at the code from the loader but did not find the source file where the attaching is done.
