The only problems I've ever seen with installing packages is that
at times the package-building farm gets a bit behind, when you
might need to build a desired newly updated port from source, and
that in some cases a package built with default options may not be
what you want. php5 is one example of the latter, as the default
options do not include mod_php5 which (I gather?) is why most
people install php at all.
The main issue is assuming that certain things are installed because
that is the way the developers recommend it then you install a package
and find out that the maintainer had different ideas. A very good
current example is boost vs. boost-python in regards to the
requirements for deluge and miro respectivally. An other example is
the entire Java tree.
And yes there are some ports that don't have packages for licencing
etc reasons, though I can't recall ever having to install one of
those.
I am the author (but not the maintainer) of such a port
(devel/thistest) and there is often very legit reasons for not
allowing packages... for example my license requires explicit
agreement before you can download the source and/or binaries (because
it has specific provisions regarding execution vs. source usage [see
my blog for more details...
http://www.flosoft-systems.com/flosoft_systems_community/blogs/aryeh/index.php]).
Not everyone has fast hardware and good bandwidth, so installing
from packages for really big ports - such as X, KDE or Gnome,
j{dk,re}, OO and such - is almost mandatory on smaller systems.
Release CDs install at least the former three as packages of
course, for obvious reasons, and at least around release times, up
to date packages can be expected.
My experience has been every time I have attempted to make the two
play together well it blows up. It has been so long since I have used
a package vs. a port I can't site a specific example.
I just think saying it's better to use all ports or all packages
is poor and maybe misleading advice, particularly expressed without
'IMHO', as it implies problems that RE should know about -
especially right now!
This is more of a long term issue that is being worked on by several
groups including the ports 2.0 team that I am member of [see long
set threads in -ports@ regarding ports system re-engineering]... much
of the stuff I hint at in this thread is better spelled out there.
cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup-without-gui make install clean
or after doing the above do a pkg_delete -a (assuming that
your working with a clean machine [no ports/packages
instaleld except cvsup]
Why wouldn't pkg_delete -a remove your just-installed
cvsup-without-gui?
Sorry for not being clear I meant before the reinstall (besides
make install would fail if you hadn't done a pkg_delete -a)
Hmm ok - thought you might be suggesting that port installs don't
update the package database in /var/db/pkg just the same as pkg_add
does.

FreeBSD machine: /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile
Preferring cvsup to portsnap is kinda like preferring vim
over emacs... It's a holy war and the vi/cvsup side uses

'official'.

for my mistake that portsnap is not in the base system it is no where

Hello all,
I'm very new to FreeBSD, just installed it for the first time maybe
a week ago. I've redone it several times since, so feel
comfortable in the VERY basics. I've got things like ntp, ftp, and
ssh configured, no problem. Not worried about mail.
I'm setting this machine up as a local internet test server. I need
to get Apache, MySQL and PHP installed, and I'm worried if there's
a preferred /required order to get it to work right / at all. FWIW
- I've checked the handbook, apache.org, php.net, and mysql.com. I
keep feel like I'm going round in circles.
There is officially no preferred order... each port will pull in what
it needs. For example just selecting the apache module when
installing php will automatically drag in a configured and working
version of apache (at least if you want stuff on port 8080 [std port
is 80 so you will need to edit the config file slightly {you may also
want to move docroot to a more convient place also}])...
Now there are some known (very rare) exceptions to the above for
example if you install net-p2p/deluge and multimedia/miro you should
install deluge first (while hand configuring boost to compile with
boost-python [actually just some make flags] instead of plain boost)
Also, I've noticed that some of the port versions on this site are
a little newer that in my 6.2 release. Will I have problems
installing these instead?
You shouldn't have an issue since almost all ports have existed (and
largely unmodified) since 6.2... that being said you should still
consider up grading to 7 if at all possible since it adds a lot of
stuff that makes general operation much smoother.
Thanks in advance.

An other way is all the data to a spare disk and then just put it in the new machine once it is all setup. BTW unless there is some extremely good reason why your sticking with 6.0 you should consider at 6.3 What is your opinion on this? What should be the best approach ?

Re: rough method of cleaning the ports tree
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Erich Dollansky wrote: Hi, after noticing how large my ports tree grows while compiling, I thought of simply deleting it and do a CVSup to get a new one after the compilation is finished. This should be much faster and also should do some kind o defragmentation. I simply cannot believe that the huge ports tree will still be very well organised after some months. What does the list think of this method? Even though it will take quite a bit longer you should just do a make distclean in /usr/ports that way anything you hand modified will be retained (also you might want to consider keeping a local cvs repository if this is an issue) - -- Aryeh M.

That's probably ok if you plan to accept incoming SMTP connections on _any_ interface, i.e. because you are running a Sendmail server accessible from outside. On my laptop this would be replaced by: /usr/sbin/sendmail -L smtpd -bd -q30m \ -ODaemonPortOptions=Addr=localhost Note the use of the -O flag to make sure Sendmail is only listening on the localhost:25 port for mail submission requests. Then you have to start a *second* Sendmail instance, to flush the local `clientmqueue' and forward the messages you see as `Deferred' when you run the `mailq -Ac' command: monster-freebsd# mailq -Ac /var/spool/clientmqueue (8 requests) - -Q-ID- --Size-- -Q-Time- - Sender/Recipient--- lBAEQDUM0772289 Mon Dec 10 09:26 aryeh (Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Now you have to run a second Sendmail instance, i.e. with: /usr/sbin/sendmail -L mailq -Ac -q10m NOTE: The `smtpd' and `mailq' arguments to the -L options are not the standard names FreeBSD assigns to these processes. They are just the ones I use on my laptop. Since you are using a custom, local sendmail startup script, that's about the best I can write to get you kickstarted. For more help with the way Sendmail operates, you can always refer to the ``Sendmail(TM) Installation and Operation Guide''. A copy of the guide is conveniently installed by the FreeBSD installation process at: /usr/share/doc/smm/08.sendmailop/* Good luck with the startup scripts.

results of ports re-engineering survey
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 *PLEASE ONLY REPLY TO ME OR [EMAIL PROTECTED] A few disclaimers: Neither I or anyone else is asking for FreeBSD to incorparate any modifications to the current base system and/or ports collection. If and when any code is developed from this process it will be committed using normal commit and review processes. The following summary of results is based on my eyeballing of answers and should not be interpreted as being any sort of mathematically and/or scientifically valid in any manner. Number of responses: roughly 30 Summary of results: 1. Most respondents stated that both the underlaying OS and the ports collection are equally important. When a preference was shown it was for the underlaying OS in most cases. 2. On average people tend to interact with the port system once or twice a week 3. The single best aspect of the ports system according to respondents is dependency tracking when installing new ports 4. The single worst aspect of the ports system according to respondents is dependency tracking when updating or deleting existing ports 5. Most respondents would not change there answers tothe survey if they where new to FreeBSD 6. Almost all respondents would use a new system if it fixed their personal worst aspect of the current system 7. About 50% of respondents would use a new system if it broke the best aspect of the ports system but fixed the worst aspect 8. Length of FreeBSD usage: rough avr. of 8 years with roughly 3 year std. dev. 9. Prefered install method: ports 10. Usage roughly evenly spread among desktop, development and servers 11. Subsystem ratings (rough avr's): UI: 6 Constancy: 9 Dependancy tracking: 7 Record keeping: 9 Granularity: 9 12. Most users are either sysadmins and/or developers Orginial Survey: As has been hashed out in -ports@ over the last few days there is at least a need to examine weither or not the current ports system should remain as is or potentially be re-engineered in the future (estimates if and when needed vary from ASAP to 10-15 years). I have volunteered to undertake a feasibility/pilot project to examine what changes (if any) are needed in the system (for the purposes of this thread I will not venture any of my own suggestions). I have the following broad questions for people: 1. What is more important to your personal use of FreeBSD (the ports system, the underlaying OS, some other aspect)? 2. How frequently do you interact with the ports systems and what is the most common interaction you have with it? 3. What is the single best aspect of the current system? 4. What is the single worst aspect of the current system? 5. If you where a new FreeBSD user how would your answers above change? If you where brand new to UNIX how whould they change? 6. Assuming that there was no additional work on your behalf would you use a new system if it corrected your answer to number 4? 7. Same as question 6 but for your answer on question 3? 8. How long have you used FreeBSD and/or UNIX in general? 9. That is your primary use(s) for your FreeBSD machine(s) (name upto 3)? 10. Assuming there is no functional difference what is your preferred installation method for 3rd party software? 11.

results of ports re-engineering survey
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 *PLEASE ONLY REPLY TO ME OR [EMAIL PROTECTED] A few disclaimers: Neither I or anyone else is asking for FreeBSD to incorparate any modifications to the current base system and/or ports collection. If and when any code is developed from this process it will be committed using normal commit and review processes. The following summary of results is based on my eyeballing of answers and should not be interpreted as being any sort of mathematically and/or scientifically valid in any manner. Number of responses: roughly 30 Summary of results: 1. Most respondents stated that both the underlaying OS and the ports collection are equally important. When a preference was shown it was for the underlaying OS in most cases. 2. On average people tend to interact with the port system once or twice a week 3. The single best aspect of the ports system according to respondents is dependency tracking when installing new ports 4. The single worst aspect of the ports system according to respondents is dependency tracking when updating or deleting existing ports 5. Most respondents would not change there answers tothe survey if they where new to FreeBSD 6. Almost all respondents would use a new system if it fixed their personal worst aspect of the current system 7. About 50% of respondents would use a new system if it broke the best aspect of the ports system but fixed the worst aspect 8. Length of FreeBSD usage: rough avr. of 8 years with roughly 3 year std. dev. 9. Prefered install method: ports 10. Usage roughly evenly spread among desktop, development and servers 11. Subsystem ratings (rough avr's): UI: 6 Constancy: 9 Dependancy tracking: 7 Record keeping: 9 Granularity: 9 12. Most users are either sysadmins and/or developers Orginial Survey: As has been hashed out in -ports@ over the last few days there is at least a need to examine weither or not the current ports system should remain as is or potentially be re-engineered in the future (estimates if and when needed vary from ASAP to 10-15 years). I have volunteered to undertake a feasibility/pilot project to examine what changes (if any) are needed in the system (for the purposes of this thread I will not venture any of my own suggestions). I have the following broad questions for people: 1. What is more important to your personal use of FreeBSD (the ports system, the underlaying OS, some other aspect)? 2. How frequently do you interact with the ports systems and what is the most common interaction you have with it? 3. What is the single best aspect of the current system? 4. What is the single worst aspect of the current system? 5. If you where a new FreeBSD user how would your answers above change? If you where brand new to UNIX how whould they change? 6. Assuming that there was no additional work on your behalf would you use a new system if it corrected your answer to number 4? 7. Same as question 6 but for your answer on question 3? 8. How long have you used FreeBSD and/or UNIX in general? 9. That is your primary use(s) for your FreeBSD machine(s) (name upto 3)? 10. Assuming there is no functional difference what is your preferred installation method for 3rd party software? 11.

All the different methods people have suggested to me for doing this has blown up also since I use a nvidia card it is almost pointless unless I can run the nvidia kernel module. That's odd. The laptop I'm typing this is amd64-capable, but installing from the FreeBSD/i386 release CD-ROMs worked like a charm. Which methods have you tried? With 4GB and a E6850 (P35/IHC9(R)) almost all the pci devices I had where reconized *EXCEPT* any nvdidia card under i386 this was instantly fixed as soon I switched to amd64. Even though I don't feel like rehashing all the stuff that I had to go through to get some stuff working (do a search for threads started by me) suffice it to say that when I first got the box 90% of the devices that the machine came with either where not functional and/or had driver issues. After working with the people on -current (and learning a fair amount about the guts of FreeBSD) there are only 3 issues left: 1. The NIC slowly dies (see re(4) slowly dies) 2. Problems reading/writting from dvd/cd (see the many threads on ihc9 issues on -current [note to Jeremy the Phillips just arrived but I am in the process of doing a portupgrade -afk so will test it tommorow]) 3.

Dear listmembers.
When browsing: http://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual.html#INTRO
It says: The size of a DSA key must be between 512 and 1024 bits.
It also says: The ElGamal key may be of any size.
Who and why has defined this? In my opinion, the size of a key is a
question for the user.

If your concerned about security the best thing to do is get involved
with various efforts to develop 2nd/3rd generation public-key algorithms.

SMP kernels on STABLE (6.x) are going to perform worse than SMP kernels on CURRENT (7-RELENG / 8-CURRENT), depending on the scheduler used (4BSD vs ULE scheduler), as well as a variety of other factors. Remember... performance not only depends upon clock speed or the number of cores you have, but also what caching/prefetching scheme FreeBSD uses (not sure if it's fetches large amounts infrequently or small amounts frequently), how much memory is available to make and its spawned processes (gcc, awk, etc), as well as the number of processes active on the machine, and host usage (high disk usage, high memory usage, etc).

have been told that this solution works fine out of the box on

Works right out of the box for all versions of FreeBSD 6 I just
did it on a 8-Current machine doing the following port installs in
this order:
firefox
linux-flashplugin7
acroread7
after you install acroread run nspluginwrapper -v -a -i.
So did I. When I run firefox then, I get an error message as follows:
freebsdangel# firefox
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library
/usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/libflashplayer.so [Shared object
libdl.so.2 not found, required by libflashplayer.so]
But the library is existing:
freebsdangel# find / -name libdl.so.2
/usr/compat/linux/lib/libdl.so.2
freebsdangel#
And even adjusting the path does not help:
freebsdangel# setenv PATH ${PATH}:/usr/compat/linux/lib
The result is the same:
So basically the question is:
How can I tell FreeBSD where to find the requested lib??
Did you do it from packages or ports?
