FreeBSD Release Date Challenge, plus other stuff the project needs
On topic... We do have these... http://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.1R/schedule.html http://wiki.freebsd.org/Releng/9.1TODO which serve well to illustrate at least a few parts of the problem: - Different dates listed for the same events. - Two different sites/pages for the same type of info. - Neither particularly utilized for/to their purpose (release commits this month not yet noted for the public, blanks in tables) - Ineffective decisions as to which of the two pages to adopt and to delete the other as a waste of commmunity resources and confusion as to which is authoritative. This is not meant to single out 9.1, but the aggregate of all releases, 9..8..7..6... viewed in sliding windows if need be to identify particular problem areas. And whatever 'other stuff' the project needs. A little criticism or kudos now and then is a good thing. I've used FreeBSD fulltime since at at least 10 years, it's that good. Off topic... No we don't. Really? Nothing wrong with this being a survey thread. Go back to posting your pictures of kiddie porn I prefer adults, exclusively.

FreeBSD Release Date Challenge, plus other stuff the project needs
We, the users of FreeBSD, *do hereby challenge* the FreeBSD project to meet its future release dates. Why: Because the FreeBSD project has not met a significant number of its release dates. It's an apalling state of affairs and makes you, the project, look silly. Business and personal users plan elements of their schedules, budgets and capabilities around OS updates. And the continual failure of FreeBSD to deliver causes us to have no alternative but to look at our bosses and just shrug. We've taken to padding it out a week, two weeks, a month, two months... just to cover the random slippage. Since there seems to be no public statements about this ongoing situation, we might as well pad it to a quarter or a half... FreeBSD's already a half behind on status reports. No one is asking for a commercial dictatorship here. But please FreeBSD, coordinate better amongst yourselves!!! Be honest about what is and isn't going to make it. Grow the wiki as your central coordination center [ie 1] and start moving dynamic docs from www to there (the community). Replace GNATS (omg, ugh), SVN, and even MoinMoin so the world can interface with some things that it has some (good / market leading) experience with [2]. Other than that, FreeBSD is great :) [1] http://wiki.freebsd.org/WhatsNew/FreeBSD10 [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_wiki_software https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_issue_tracking_systems https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_help_desk_issue_tracking_software http://www.bestpractical.com/rt/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_forum_software_(PHP) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_forum_software http://www.simplemachines.org/ ___ 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: compare zfs xfs and jfs o
I think that XFS JFS are more mature filesystems than ZFS This is not up for discussion. but the feature set of ZFS i ahead in the future. Too many iPads, iPhones, etc? For a NFS server first I'll go with ZFS because the consistence in disk If not spelling, or grammar... and speed will gonna be the differentiator. A high-school education may well have been the differentiator, but that's not important right now. Journaling filesystems are not known for speed. EXT2 will probably outperform ZFS as far as NFS servers go. -- Speed Will Gonna Be The Differentiator ___ 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: CLANG vs GCC tests of fortran/f2c program
Besides, NetBSD and OpenBSD has already selected and using pcc now. And they are fine with that one. I wish that or something like that were true, but pcc is dead even in OpenBSD packages/ports.

Re: Why Clang
GPL protects the freedom of the programmer who licensed his code under those licenses: He wants it to be free for use, but not to be turned into closed source products. What a lying sonofabitch. That is not called freedom. That is called forcible, viral open source. I think we can all see the difference. Open your motherfucking eyes, communist goofball... A programmer who does not want to raise this barrier will typically use the BSD license which is more free. No, it's just plain free. BSDL in opposite is often criticized a rape me license. No, it is not, except perhaps by lying atheist Marxist bastards and his religious adherents. It explicitely (!) allows creating derivates in a closed source manner. This means that parts of BSD licensed code can be a key component in a proprietary closed source product that is for sale (e. g. a firewall appliance), and nobody will find out about that fact. Now you got it! GPL is about forcing people to do what /you/ want and BSD is about letting them do what /they/ want. Let's see if you can guess which one of those licenses is about freedom. Hint: freedom is not defined as forcing people to do what you want. ___ 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: UEFI Secure Boot Specs - And some sanity
Isn't there a lot of needless handwaving going on when the spec is pretty clear that installing your own complete PKI tree will all boil down to what is effectively a jumper on the motherboard? No, considering 99.99% of of current Windows victims can't even install a fresh copy of Windows. Users could fully utilize the UEFI Secure Boot hardware by say: - Using openssl to generate their keys - Jumper the board, burn it into the BIOS in UEFI SB SetupMode - Have all the MBR, slice, partition, installkernel, etc tools install and manage the signed disk/loader/kernel/module bits - Have the BIOS check sigs on whatever first comes off the media Yeah that's trivial for 99.99% of users. I have no idea what everyone is on about. I just program my own PROM and make my own motherboards. Now back to reality, most people don't know how to use openssl. They don't want to break the seal on their PC and void the warranty. They don't want to play with jumpers. They don't know how to use Linux fdisk or BSD disklabel. They can't set up their BIOS. They may not be the typical BSD or Linux poweruser but they represent most users. And sadly even a significant percentage of BSD and even a more significant percentage of Linux users (thank you Ubuntu) aren't capable of doing these things. And if they really were that dumb, there's Gigabyte, Asus, Msi, Supermicro, Biostar, etc who will not be so dumb and will soak up all the remaining sales gravy. We're going to see if that happens but it won't. The WinTel Mafia controls more than what you think and these vendors know they get many magnitudes more money from selling Windows commodity shitboxes than they ever will from all the BSD and Linux users multiplied together. ___ 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

Certainly with computers that never have hardware faults and assuming ZFS doesn't have any software bugs you may be right. That was part of their assumption.

Yes, that would be the expected behavior.

This suggestion won't do the job as the list of words is very long, maybe 50-60. This is why I asked how to place them all in a file. One reply dealt with using a file with egrep. I'll try that. Gee, 50 words, that's about a 300 character pattern, that's not a problem for any shell or version of grep I know. But reading the words from a file is equivalent and as you note most likely easier to do. The question is what is more efficient. This might be important if that kind of grep command is run very often by a script, or if it's run on very large files. My guess is that one large regular expression is more efficient than many small ones. But I haven't done real benchmarks to prove this. BTW, not using regular expressions is even more efficient, e.g. $ fgrep -f /usr/share/dict/words /etc/group When using egrep(1) it takes considerably more time and memory. ___ 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

You'd lose `-O2' compiler-specific optimization. If you want to retain
it use DEBUG_FLAGS, e.g.
DEBUG_FLAGS = -ggdb
CFLAGS += ${DEBUG_FLAGS}
Ports that build using bsdmake don't really need the second line as well

Besides symbols some ports enable compile-time debugging and disable

echo it's a \`$size' without suffix

$ strip 33g
it's a `33' without suffix
$ strip 25gm
25gm has invalid suffix
I plan to strip just the m or g if its there and the result should be
