I am in a very bad situation and my mail forwarding has been down for over a week -- no response from ZoneEdit support. I found references to people getting help from Dan here: http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/questions/2011-01/msg00504.html My issue(s): 1.) I can't login to zoneedit.com's new interface. I used to be able to log in to the legacy interface -- but apparently I'm in the same boat as Mr. Jack L. Stone was -- in that you can no longer manage zones from the legacy interface. The legacy interface tells me my account is active at the new interface, but the new interface tells me my account does not even exist. 2.) My mail forwarding service provided by zoneedit.com stopped working approximately last week monday. It has been working fine since 2002. Don't you just love it when this stuff happens. 3.) I can't change my DNS / mail forwarding service, because the email I used for my domain registration at my registrar is one of the emails that gets forwarded (and the forwarding is not working). If Jack L. Stone or Dan from ZoneEdit can get in contact with me I would be very grateful. I don't know what else to do at this point. The company that currently owns ZoneEdit (Dotster) won't help me -- they say they don't have the ability to provide support for ZoneEdit customers. This is my last hope pretty much. Dan or Jack if you're out there, please get back to me. Nick, we've had some rouble with zoneedit recently also.

Can anyone direct me to some information about what WITHOUT_PROFILE=YES actually means.
I have ran into a recent issue, after a lot of trouble shooting I have narrowed it down to something in my /etc/src.conf the full file just has: WITHOUT_BIND=YES WITHOUT_NTP=YES WITHOUT_FLOPPY=YES WITHOUT_FREEBSD_UPDATE=YES WITHOUT_PROFILE=YES Of course bind and ntp are added in by ports after the system is built, everything compiles, I have a very specific issue with one thing not working on an installed port, with no apparent error. To make a long story short though one of my build attempts, I forgot to copy the /etc/src.conf file to the new system. And well the problem was gone, when I discovered that's what I did differently, I commented out all lines on a different system rebuilt and installed, sure enough it worked. Looking at the src.conf options that I was using, I can't see how any option other than the WITHOUT_PROFILE could possibly be causing the problem. Though I am in the process of building systems with different options removed in an attempt to find out for sure. The WITHOUT_PROFILE was added from a help document I read some time ago about upgrading from source, and hasn't caused any problems before now. I know it instructs the build process to avoid compiling profiled libraries. But my searching hasn't been able to lead me to what the difference is between a profiled and non-profiled library is. -- Thanks, Dean E.

Is this any different for i386? It used to be that there's
no i386 pkgng repository.
I ran pkg and it fetched and setup pkgng. That was easy.
Is it possible that the November 2012 security incident means
there's still no installable packaged via pkg-install?
I was going to install rsync.
If you're interested, we've set up an unofficial but public pkgng format
repository at
http://mirror.exonetric.net/pub/pkgng
To use these packages, just set your PACKAGESITE variable in
/usr/local/etc/pkg.conf like so,
PACKAGESITE : http://mirror.exonetric.net/pub/pkgng/${ABI}/latest
These have FreeBSD 8 and 9, i386 and amd64 kernel pkgng format packages for the
whole ports tree,
build failures notwithstanding.
You'll have to explicitly make the decision to trust or not these
builds, of course, but all are welcome to use them until the official
ones are available.

parallel/simultaneous portinstall ?
One question about portupgrade has been nagging me, in the back of my mind, for some time now. Assume for the moment that on some given system, the root user has two terminal sessions open, i.e. either two instances of xterm or else two console sessions. Also assume that there exist three ports, `A', `B', and `C' such that both port `A' and port `B' both depend on port `C'. Assume further that port `C' has not yet been installed. My question is just this: Is it possible that Something Bad might happen if, in one terminal session, the root user does portinstall A and if, which that instance of portinstall is still running, he then immediately switches to his other terminal session and then does portinstall B ? Another way of stating my question is this: Might anything bad ever happen if there are two simultaneous, or nearly simultaneous attempts to build install any given single package (e.g. port `C' in my example above) ? (I am concerned about the possibility that the two simultaneous attempts to build and install the same single package might possibly trip over one another, resulting either in a mangled build tree or else a mangled installed port, or possibly both.) ___ 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
Mapping Perl module names to corresponding FreeBSD port names
I am, at long last, moving my main system over onto a new drive where I have just installed a fresh copy of 9.1-RELEASE, and where I have built and installed essentially all of the ports I had on my old (8.3-RELEASE) system... at least the ones that I am actually still actively using. A problem arises however in the case of the various p5-* (Perl) ports that I have installed on my old 8.3 system. How can I know which of these I really need to install on my new 9.1 system, you know, in order to make sure that all of my existing/old Perl scripts will continue to function? pkg_info says that I currently have 84 different p5-* ports installed on my old 8.3 system. The list of these is attached below. (I suspect that many/most of these I installed temporarily, just for some one-off task, and that I no longer need to have them installed, e.g. on my new system.) I keep all of my personal scripts and compiled programs in a directory I call /usr/local/rfg/bin. I have gone into that directory and done: grep '^use ' | sort -u in order to find all the the Perl module names that my various personal Perl scripts are using. The result is the following (which has been trimmed a bit to remove irrelevant fluff): use CGI::Lite; use Cwd; use Email::MIME; use Encode; use HTML::TreeBuilder; use IO::Handle; use LWP::Simple; use List::Util qw(min max); use Net::CIDR::Lite; use Net::DNS; use Time::localtime; use URI::Escape; So basically, on my new system, I need to install all of the p5-* FreeBSD ports that correspond to the above set of Perl modules. In order to do this, I need to somehow derive the corresponding FreeBSD p5-* port names from the Perl module names listed above. In some cases, the mapping is both straightforward and obvious, e.g.: CGI::Lite = p5-CGI-Lite Email::MIME = p5-Email-MIME Net::DNS= p5-Net-DNS however in many other cases the correct mapping is not immediately obvious. So, I need to ask: Is there some simple automated way to map each of the above Perl module names into a corresponding FreeBSD p5-* port name? If not, is there a map published somewhere that I could just refer to in order to find the name of the specific FreeBSD port that corresponds to any given (CPAN-published) Perl module? List of currently installed p5-* packages = p5-AnyEvent p5-Authen-NTLM p5-CGI-Lite p5-CPAN-Meta p5-CPAN-Meta-Requirements p5-CPAN-Meta-YAML p5-Cairo p5-Compress-Raw-Bzip2 p5-Compress-Raw-Zlib p5-Convert-BinHex p5-Digest-HMAC p5-Email-Address p5-Email-Date-Format p5-Email-MIME p5-Email-MIME-ContentType p5-Email-MIME-Encodings p5-Email-MessageID p5-Email-Simple p5-Encode-Locale p5-Event p5-Event-ExecFlow p5-Event-RPC p5-ExtUtils-CBuilder p5-ExtUtils-Depends p5-ExtUtils-ParseXS p5-ExtUtils-PkgConfig p5-File-Listing p5-Font-AFM p5-Glib2 p5-Gtk2 p5-Gtk2-Ex-FormFactory p5-Gtk2-Ex-Simple-List p5-HTML-Form p5-HTML-Format p5-HTML-Parser p5-HTML-Tagset p5-HTML-Tree p5-HTTP-Cookies p5-HTTP-Daemon p5-HTTP-Date p5-HTTP-Message p5-HTTP-Negotiate p5-HTTP-Server-Simple p5-IO-Compress p5-IO-Socket-INET6 p5-IO-Socket-SSL p5-IO-stringy p5-JSON-PP p5-LWP-MediaTypes p5-Lchown p5-Locale-gettext p5-Locale-libintl p5-MIME-Base64 p5-MIME-Tools p5-MIME-Types p5-Mail-Tools p5-Module-Build p5-Module-Metadata p5-Net-CIDR-Lite p5-Net-DNS p5-Net-HTTP p5-Net-IP p5-Net-LibIDN p5-Net-SSLeay p5-Pango p5-Parse-CPAN-Meta p5-Perl-OSType p5-Socket6 p5-Storable p5-TimeDate p5-URI p5-Unicode-Map8 p5-Unicode-String p5-WWW-Mechanize p5-WWW-RobotRules p5-XML-NamespaceSupport p5-XML-Parser p5-XML-SAX p5-XML-SAX-Base p5-XML-SAX-Expat p5-XML-Simple p5-libwww p5-type1inst p5-version ___ 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

Yes this does apply only to system. With the above options buildworld / buildkernel / install kernel / install world/ mergemaster / reinstall all ports, I have my problem. Remove all options, repeat no problem. Remove just WITHOUT_PROFILE repeat again, problem is back. So I was wrong as to that line being the cause, at least by itself. I did a lot of initial testing with port option changes, and changes to make.conf on my system, thought maybe it was clang, etc. Didn't get anywhere, the system is running on a ZFS boot partition, and as a last effort I tried on UFS. It worked, but I also realized I forgot the src.conf settings. I copied my ZFS systems boot environment and rebuilt without src.conf, it now works as well. Currently doing a fresh install on ZFS to build from ground up with the same process used originally, except without the src.conf and confirm I can repeat its success. Then I can do some more testing with adding options back into the src.conf to try and narrow down which of those options is causing the problem. If I can figure out which one, or combination of them is the cause, then I will hopefully have something that can lead to someone with more knowledge than I have being able to discover why its having the problem. The port doesn't fail to compile it installs fine, and 99.5% of it runs perfect, just one little thing that I need to work hangs up for about 5 minutes, before timing out, but doesn't log an error, even with insanely verbose debugging, it acts as if it completed but it didn't. I posted another message about the specific problem several days ago, before I had it figured out to be caused somehow by something in the src.conf file. I am trying to run Squid (version 3.2.6 is the current port) in reverse proxy, the problem is only when doing a post via HTTPS above a certain size, somewhere between 2k and 3.2k is where it begins. -- Thanks, Dean E.

I'm also doing this since I have sufficient CPU and RAM. :-) However, for systems that are low on capacity, using precompiled packages is a really comfortable way to initially install software. The traditional pkg_add -r stuff was possible for most of the available software with two exceptions: 1. software that needed compile-time options to make them work as intended (e. g. mplayer with mencoder and all codecs), 2. software that had no packages (e. g. german OpenOffice which had a pkg_add -r de-openoffice way in the past). With pkgng and the new pkg command set, not just installing would be possible (as known from pkg_add), but also updating (like with freebsd-update, but for ports). At the moment, this functionality is not provided, but it should become possible in the future, obsoleting the traditional pkg_* tools, while the use of ports, either with the bare make framework (make update, relying on SVN instead of CVS, make install, make deinstall and so on) or by the use of a port management tool (like portmaster) will of course still be possible. I know even pkgng can't deal with the two exceptions mentioned above, but it will add the binary updating and therefor make system _and_ software updates easier, especially when you're low on resources. It's also a welcome means if you need to perform an offline installation, i. e. you don't have Internet connection to obtain binary packages or sources, but you can install from optical media instead. The only problem I see (or which I hope not to see) is the upcoming Linuxism of repositories. Plural: many of them. By the use of the traditional pkg_* tools and the make framework for ports, you don't have to deal with selecting repositories. The correct files will be served. I hope there won't be a situation in the future where arbitrary or contradicting repositories free and non-free, vendor-provided, private, development, different in priority and content, will be required to be chosen by the user just to make basic things work (again). For those who have ever tried to explain repositories to a novice user in regards of a Linux distributions: You probably know what I'm talking about. :-) -- 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
