That isn't where you look from my experience. I have /usr/local/jdk1.4.2/bin/java and it changes with the version. That is what I add in mozilla.

In order to use current versions, both require maintaining an uptodate port structure. You just have to determine which method is an optimum for your usage. I have some doubts in port upgrade 1) I think that if I upgrade a port, first the current package will be removed and then new package will be installed.Let us assume that I am running a web server and apache needs to be upgraded. In this case, if the current apache is removed and the new apache 'll be installed, then what abt my existing configuration? What abt the down time? Well, you have to kill apache to stop the httpd processes. The problem with apache is that the install creates its own /usr/local/www/data link. If you use apache, you can create something like ln -sf /.../data data. Then, you can upgrade apache. The install is very fast and I immediately unlink the link that the apache install created and link to my data directory. I have all of my web data on /usr2/data. The link to /usr2/data is gone for less than 30 seconds. Then, you need to stopapache and startapache. There has to be many choices on the order of doing things. You aren't running the updated apache until you do the down/up toggle. Your downtime will only be a couple of minutes and apache goes down gracefully. Toggling apache is less than 30 seconds on my slow system. I think my web server is down for less than 2 minutes from the time the upgrade destroys my data link until everything is back in order and is using the new version of apache. Network congestion can cause problems longer than that :). 2) What is the best method to upgrade ports without any downtime for my live servers? There isn't any to my way of thinking. You have to stop the process and restart it. Some processes you can kill -HUP but ports are mostly different. You can reduce the down time to a small number but there will be a period when that process won't be available. One of the problem with live databases is that management thinks they need to be up 24x7. You need to be able to do maintenance and you may have to schedule downtime. For security reasons, you may not want to wait for a component failure to do the upgrades :). FWIW, everyone I have known that was involved with system work did their upgrades on weekends or between 2 am and 6 am. Hollidays are also handy times for upgrading. 3) Even after upgraded my all ports, 'portaudit' says still problem with 'perl'.So what should I do? I don't have any suggestion. Perl 5.8.5 just showed up on the list. I already have cups-base, mozilla, and linux-tiff. I don't have any daemon processes that use perl.

XFree86 was giving me everything I needed, back under FreeBSD 5.1. Xorg, in contrast, is one huge hassle. Xorg -config produces an xorg.conf.new file that doesn't work (I have ATI Rage 128). Then, reading some of the traffic on this mailing list I see talk about preloading AGP and ATI from /boot/loaders.conf, and I know I'd be getting in way too deep if I did that. To further confirm my ignorance, I'll ask this: what exactly is Xorg? Is it just a different X server (and associated configuration tools)? Or is it something more broad-based than that? As I understand it, Xorg is the follow on to XFree86. You can read about it at X.org. The new versions will be Xorg. FWIW, I still use XF86Config. I may have had to tweak the video card but that was it. I use xdb to switch between en/es and that works on 5.3 but xorg on 4.x doesn't switch. If I succeed in building an XFree86 server, can I just make the appropriate symlink -- /usr/X11R6/bin/X --, install my old XFree86.conf file in /etc/X11, and run with that? Or is it going to be more complicated? You have to change /etc/make.conf to include X_WINDOW_SYSTEM=xfree86-4 You have to remember that any packages you downloade for 5.x will want xorg instead of XFree86.

The default number of parallel jobs is 2. Increasing this to, say, 8, will save some time in building the index. In my testing 4 helped on a dual SMP machine but 8 didn't, because the process was I/O bound already at 4. There isn't a make index that can compete with downloading an INDEX.bz2.

It, along with some other equipment, runs off 2 x 50 kW diesel generators which are swapped by a mechanic once per week. The swap-over takes less than a minute. The computer runs off a UPS, which easily holds its charge during the swap. All of the UPSes that I have used come with a warning that the battery will eventually need to be replaced. Are you sure the UPS is still good? But, unlike the other windows systems that run up there, the FreeBSD system seems incredibly prone to disk corruption. Often the system will not reboot, and hangs while it asks for a file check. I can't do that remotely - it has to be a person. I frequently need to run fsck, and that does not always work. It is hard to instruct a diesel mechanic on such matters from such a distance. fsck -y usually does not work either. I had a power outage 4 days ago. When I got into the room, the 4 computers were still running. Since the power outage was supposed to last more than 3 hours, which was well beyond their capability, I shut them all down. They were running just fine when I shut them down and the all booted normally. I would tend to agree with the suggestion that your computer is failing. If fsck -y doesn't work, my HD has always developed bad sector(s) and the HD needs to be replaced.

Are you using something like bash on 5.3? If not, what is the envirornment.
You should have seen a line like

Haven't you had problems with rcmdsh: unknown user in the past. I would
think that is was similar to a signal 11 on a buildworld but I wouldn't bet

Re: updating packages
On Monday 18 October 2004 11:27 am, Duane Winner wrote: Hello, Is there a simple way to upgrade packages on machines with packages built on other machines? Example: I have eight machines that have jdk-1.4.2p6_4. On one of the machines I have done a portupgrade jdk, and now have jdk-1.4.2p6_5. I then did a pkg_create -b jdk-1.4.2p6_5 and have a jdk-1.4.2p6_5.tgz. I copied jdk-1.4.2p6_5.tgz to the other seven machines. Now how can I upgrade jdk on the others? I have noticed for at least a few months now that pkg_update is no longer with us, and found a message somewhere that it has been removed do to problems/non-maintainence, and that most people are using portupgrade these days. Is there a way I can upgrade the packages on other machines without having to a pkg_delete first, then a pkg_add? You /usr/ports needs to be a copy of your install system along with a current set of INDEX*. Then, all you do is portupgrade -P jdk. The have to be the same OS version. For example, you don't upgrade a port on the 5.x machine from a 4.x build or vice versa.

Re: Is there a way to clean up the ports database without a lot of manual intervention?
On Saturday 02 October 2004 11:49 am, Doug Lee wrote: I have reason to believe I've made some mistakes trying to run pkgdb -F to clean up a couple ports trees on different FreeBSD systems I run. I confess I've never fully understood how to answer some of the prompts during that process. Also though, my ports tree was formed before portupgrade/portinstall were available, so I have some ports that were installed via a simple make install, some by portinstall/portupgrade, some I installed first with make install and then tried to upgrade with portupgrade, etc. I like the information provided by portsearch. You can find it in /usr/ports/Tools/scripts. I created an alias called search, which is equated to 'portsearch -n $1'. It is handy when you are told to run pkgdb -F because you can see what the index thinks the port should be linked to and not the strange link you are provided with as a choice at times. I only see the strange choice when the port it needs is not installed. The easy way out for me is to install the missing port manually. Is there a process I can run that will make the database consistent again so I can install/upgrade ports without error? I don't care if it takes two days to run. :-) I also know I may be asking the impossible here, but I figure it doesn't hurt to try. I think that pkgdb -fu is going to be the only automated recovery.

Before you worry about what you have, you might read Chapters 4 and 19 of the Handbook at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html There are a number of possibilities. You might not have installed all of the sources and features that you needed when you created the system. There is a cvsup tag of RELENG_4_10 that will follow the security tree for 4.10. Most of these operations are easy once you have a basic understanding of the process of maintaining a system. There is a freebsd-newbies list that might help get you started. Since the system can't find the library you are having problems with, it becomes a function of what is the easiest way to get it working. It looks like you chose to little when you did the install. Being a control freak is ok but when you are getting started, a custom install may not work. Using cvsup to grab the latest code and then following the instructions in Chapter 19 is one way of doing this. Other people may have different ideas and I don't know what would be the fastest on your end.

*** Error code 1
but it seemed misleading because I thought that portupgrade(1)
pkg_delete-ed the old version (after first backing up the files) -
obviously not.
What you have is a similar
problem to the old problem with XFree86-server and -libraries. You
update -libraries, which contain the new files, and then you delete
them when you update -server. Then, nothing would update because
files were missing.
There were a number of comments on -questions or -ports when this
first happened.
Yes, I'd searched the mailing lists (for KDE problems, not XFree86)
but didn't find anything that seemd relevant, although after your
reply some of them make sense now.
You might get by just deleting kdebase.
Delete kde-libs surely?
Kdelibs has the new files and when you try to update kdebase later, it
messes up the install. That is why you have to delete kdebase first. If
the files had been moved from kdelibs into kdebase, it wouldn't have
mattered.
Is this a limitation/shortcoming/bug of portupgrade(1)? Is the whole
point of it ot that it handles, often complex, dependencies for you?
Portupgrade doesn't deal with the situation with large projects such as
KDE when files or tools are moved from a lower port into one required
as a base port such as kdelibs. I don't think it could deal with it.
I always build packages and can just reinstall the one that I just
trashed.

A number of ISPs in the past, when I've had problems and called, they say, do this with Windows and when I say I'm not using Windows they reply that they don't support anything but, and therefore can't help me. That's been in spite of the fact that I've done everything reasonable to determine that the problem is _NOT_ on my end, they simply refuse to do _any_ diagnostic work if I wasn't using Windows. The situation seems to be getting better, and nowadays, I just lie and say I'm using Windows and execute the equivalent commands in FreeBSD and explain the result. I don't know what OS my ISP uses but I do know that they only support Windows and Mac platforms. I've run OS/2 and FreeBSD using their email services and never really needed technical support. As long as you never need tech support, you'll probably never have a problem, nor care what OS your ISP uses. After all, the Internet was designed to be OS-independent ... when everything is working correctly! Now, I'm considering a new ISP primarily due to cost.

Otherwise, you could give your location and if someone knows a FreeBSD friendly ISP in your area, I'm sure he'll let you know.

I am not sure if it was there before) and so the portsdb -Uu run
fails with the error message shown above.
My FreeBSD version is RELENG_4 (FreeBSD-STABLE).
What is the fix for this please? Waiting until a new cvsup corrects
the error above, or...?
If you follow ports, I was told you also should also follow cvs-all. It
was fixed about an hour ago. So, it should have made it to your
favorite cvsup-mirror.
A faster fix is to edit the drweb_postfix make file and change the
drwebd entry on the PORTSDIR entry to just drweb.

I tried running the ftp daemon that ships with FreeBSD, as well as Proftpd and they both exhibit the same performance issues. Most settings on this machine are at their defaults. I've tried tweaking send/recv sizes, as well as toggling delayed_ack. None of these have made any difference so far. Suggestions? Is anyone else seeing this? I want to add that I have a machine that did that once in awhile. As soon as I see it, I look at my switch and the NIC has switched into half-duplex. An ifconfig still shows full-duplex. I would power down and reboot and it went away for awhile. After having done this 3 or 4 times, I powered it down, reseated the NIC and it has been a little over three weeks since it flipped modes on me. Kent But even if it is an 10 MBit NIC running half duplex, it should still be capable of handling internet traffic at normal speeds (200 - 300 KB/s or something, depends on your line of course) My first insight of those problems is probably bad DNS settings. What about FTPing to your ip address? Is that giving you the bad speed as well? That only occurs when both ifconfig and the NIC are set at half-duplex. The system is on a local network and all systems are in the hosts table. The network is 100Mb/s but the ftp xfer rate would drop to 8KB/s. It is my test system and the drop from 11MB/s to 8KB/s was noticeable.

You can read comments about it on http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/sysutils/portupgrade/Ma kefile see the commit message for version 1.78. Well, I don't track -ports, so, yes I missed that. I'm not trying to be combative here, I was wrong, a bit. I gave the portsdb man page a quick once-over a while ago (when I started using portupgrade) and thought I understood what it was doing. I didn't realize the -U was regen'ing INDEX from the current ports tree, as I didn't realize that INDEX was updated with less frequency that the tree, so I didn't realize that was even needed, though it's obvious once I think about it. I think obvious is a hindsight thing. The mind is really good at making bad assumptions. I was the on-site rep for a remote computer service center in Dallas. People would would have problems running computer programs because they would see what they thought they had typed and not what was in the data file. The INDEX you were cvsuping was an ancient one and that is why it pays to refuse ports/INDEX[-5]. Cvsup knows that the one you built isn't the one on the mirror and redownloads it. It takes several minutes to generate even from a mirror over a 100mps network. Then, you spend a lot more time generating the new one by running make index. It also explains why portsdb -Uu takes so freekin' long sometimes, which had been bugging me. Yes, it takes quite awhile to generate. That is also why people are suggesting that the refuse comments in the HANDBOOK be changed to reflect that by using those refuses you will affect the generation of a proper INDEX. There is also the problem with MASTER/SLAVE ports. A SLAVE port is one that depend on information from the MASTER. If you have refused the MASTER, you are continuing to use ancient data when you build the SLAVEs. Now, if you want to fetch a current INDEX[-5], you can run make fetchindex from /usr/ports. The problem is that the script occassionaly dies and what you get may not be current. You can tell by looking at the date on INDEX[-5]. If the script is working, the date will be less than an hour old. I generate all of my local ones on a test machine and it doesn't matter if I fetch or make the INDEX. I can make almost as fast as I can fetch. FreeBSD.org is a busy site and the transfer rate may not be that fast at times. I also back up and compress the old INDEX and keep about 5 previous days worth. Bz2 will compress a 5.5 MB INDEX file into 548 KB file. The port update is a cronjob and I had been without a working INDEX on those rare occasions when make index totally fails. The backup copies make that more difficutl to happen.

In terms of megs/gigs 80% of 120 gigs still has a lot of work space left. 80% of 4 gigs is not much. I would think with a larger drive/partition, one could run at a higher percentage before trouble started. It makes sense to me anyway :) That's what one would like, but UFS doesn't work that way. It's allocation algorithm assumes 10% of the disk is free -- regardless of actual size. Or so I've been told (multiple times). IMHO this is a bit ridiculous -- I mean, given 1 TB of space (nearly feasible for a home server right now), why would an FS allocator need 10% of that if the files on the volume are averaging 10 MB? But then again, and this is worth noting -- I'm certainly nowhere near as clueful as others on how to design a stable fast file system. Seeing as UFS1 is still in use, and has been for the last 20 years (think about it!), I think maybe the tradeoff might make sense to an expert... BTW, note that you really need to consider the perfomance drop for yourself -- like others said, if the files on the volume change infrequently, performance matters little, and space more so. I think you've missed the point. The designers of UFS/FFS did not design the filesystem to require 10% free space in order to perform well. They developed the best, fastest (thus the name fast file system) filesystem algorithms they could come up with. Then, during testing, they found that these algorithms started to perform really poorly when the filesystem got really full. Thinking this might be important, they tested further until they knew exactly what point the performance started to drop off at. They then went one step further and developed another algorithm in an attempt to maintain as much performance as possible even when the filesystem got very full. This is why you'll occasionally see the switching from time to space message when your filesystem starts to fill up. The filesystem drivers are doing their best to degrade gracefully. Now, I'm not going to say that there is no more that can be done. I think the fact is that the two algorithms work well enough that nobody has bothered to invest the research into improving them. (That combined with the fact that disk space keeps getting cheaper and cheaper, makes it unlikely that anyone will invest much $$$ into researching how to use that last 10% while still maintaining top performance). I really agree with what you said here. With what they paid me an hour before I retired, I could buy a large HD. Now 2 hours would buy a REALLY large HD. People seem to have the tendancy to bleed the last few drops of perfomance or space and, I think that they don't understand basic economics. I think this is similar to expecting to do a portupgrade -fa on a P-200 in a reasonable amount of time. I saw a t-shirt one time about soaring with eagles when you worked with turkeys I laughed at the time..Now I think that soaring with eagles has a price and you just can't do it when your system is on the low end performance wise. My basic system has 3x30GB HDs. Why 30GB? Well, they were the smallest ata-133 HDs that I could buy locally. Why 3 HDs?. Processes such as buildworld work faster when your locale is spread across 3 HDs.

No, but 3.2.3 is out and you might just cvsup ports-all, rebuild the iindexes, download the packages from FruitSalad into ports/packages/All, delete the old 3.2.2 packages, and cleanly install the new ones. The packages at FruitSalad will out of date in a little while but right now they are as current as you can build.

On Tuesday 08 June 2004 12:37 am, Bruce Hunter wrote: Thanks for your help Kent I read something about using portversion -c with the portupgrade command to upgrade installed pkgs that needed to be updated. When I run portversion -c :: I get a print out of things needed to be upgraded and at the end, it shows a 'if' statment. How do you use this command with portupgrade so it just updates them instead of just showing me. Just do it dang it... just do it! ;o) I'm not the one to ask because I use the -c and do them one at a time. The portupgrade option -rRa will do some of it. I just want it to do it at my convience and choosing :). I also have an AMD 2400+ that sits off to the side of my computer desk and I build everything on it. The problem with the -c list is that it doesn't build dependancies first. The -rRa will do that but I also create packages and adding p to build packages creates a lie. Portupgrade repackages everything but doesn't rebuild everything. So, you think you have a current build but only have a current package. They aren't the same thing :). One point I was going to make about the booting. It is as clean and mean a process as you can create. Anything you add will only slow it down. Given a choice of a quick boot or a pretty one, I will go for speed everytime :). Kent Bruce..

Recently I installed /usr/ports/www/linux-mozillafirebird to experiment with some of the plugins. Something that I noticed was that linux-mozillafirebird is blazingly fast compared to firefox. I'm talking about the speed at which it loads pages is _significantly_ faster than that of firefox. Can anyone suggest reasons for this ? Not without seeing the build. One of the mozilla options is WITH_OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS, which sets -O2. That could be one of your reasons. I don't know if that option works on the port you are interested in. I also don't have any other ideas. I'm tempted to use /usr/ports/www/linux-mozillafirebird permanently ! I use the FreeBSD native version of Mozilla-1.6 and not any of the Linux versions.

What practical minimum size required to install freebsd and XP I have not idea how little a disk Windows XP will fit on, but I doubt 2G will be big enough. I agree. My WinXP directory by itself is 1.8 GB and the applications are exponential from there :). How much space you need for FreeBSD depends entirely on what you want to do. If you just want to use it as an internet firewall, you can do a minimal installation of less than a few hundred meg. If you want to do C-language development for servers or console applications, you could probably get away with less than 1G. If you want a full-blown graphical interface with web browser and office suite, you're going to need at least 10G. I am not sure that is enough. For example, just updating java-1.4, you need 1.7+ GB free. I think there are other ports that need much more. I have /usr/ports as a stand alone mount point and created a 15 GB filesystem just for the ports. It is currently running at 20% used.
