Re: pkgng and the old pkg_* programs
I have tried it. There's my report ;) Without pkg_*, pkg2ng doesn't work. pkg info shows only himself (pkg-1.0.1). And I have no idea how to register all this stuff which I have already into pkgng database. New [re]installations from ports and directly from pkg work fine. So for new installation it seems to be fine, for old you have to run pkg2ng before you will remove pkg_* binaries.

Is there any reason to keep the old pkg_* programs around, or can I delete them and add WITHOUT_PKGTOOLS to my /etc/src.conf? I'm running RELEASE-9.0 on amd64 and will update to REL-9.1 as soon as it arrives if that matters. There is no particularly good reason to keep pkg_tools around once you've made the switch to pkgng. pkgng should provide replacements for all the pkg_tool functionality and slot into its place quite smoothly. However, I'm not sure that there's been adequate testing on a pkg_tools-free setup, so it is not entirely outside the bounds of possibility that you might run into some odd problems. If you do, please report what happens, as that's definitely a bug that needs fixing.

Freebsd without swap
Hi there. Now I'm using FreeBSD 9 without swap, and without additional swap - related configurations. Ξ ~ → gpart show = 34 234441581 ada0 GPT (111G) 34128 1 freebsd-boot (64k) 162 234441453 2 freebsd-zfs (111G) Ξ ~ → pstat -T 3857/12328 files 0M/0M swap space And all work perfectly or that seems to me :). My working machine is ThinkPad T61 with 4G ram. I'm typically desktop user. And the question is: Does it correct to use freebsd like this? Or I need specific setup? Option NO_SWAPPING if I understand right not for this purpose. Sysctl vm.swap_enabled=0 seems to be useful. ___ 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
