contributing to the ports collection
Hi everyone, After several years of using FreeBSD, I have decided it is time to start contributing my time to the project. I have read through the relevant page on freebsd.org and intend to look into contributing in a couple of the ways listed there. However, my main interest is contributing a port to the ports collection. Specifically, I want to add WordShell (http://wordshell.net/) to the FreeBSD ports collection. I want to install it for myself, and I generally don't like using software outside of some sort of software manager wherein I can keep everything neatly up-to-date. How would I get started in adding something to the ports collection?

Can I compile sendmail simply through the ports collection?
Hi, I was wondering if I can simply recompile sendmail from the ports collection for FreeBSD 7.1 server. I need to recompile the sendmail on the server to add Cyrus SASL2 support. The instructions on FreeBSD point to src /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail which doesn't exist and I was wondering if I could simply recompile using the ports collection.

I'd suggest that you don't use the tree from sysinstall, unless your intent is not to update the tree until the next release. If you use portsnap the tree gets overwritten with the "extract", so you might as well not bother with the on-disk version. If you use csup then the steps are 1. Set the tag to match the port snapshot on the disc and run csup 2. Set the tag to "." (the current tree) and run csup again Step 1 does nothing to the tree, but if you skip it you may end with some stale files left in your tree, which could cause serious problems. IMO this is more trouble than it's worth unless you have a dialup connection. ___ 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 can use csup as explained in section 4.5.1. This will update the Ports Collection you installed from CD/DVD by fetching only the required newer files Or, you can use portsnap too like this: First time: portsnap fetch extract Subsequent times: portsnap fetch update If you are starting with an empty Ports tree (for example you skipped installing it from CD during sysinstall) portsnap will be faster than csup. (Note you can start with an empty tree and csup as well) Anytime you decide to switch from csup to portsnap, always perform an 'extract' > > Q2: Is this explained in the handbook?

The obvious solution is for you to upgrade perl. Is there a specific
requirement for the perl version you're on?

Re: Ports Collection
Quick question Why are you using 6.4 instead of the latest (7.1)? Keep in mind that gnome2 has a lot of dependencies. That's just the nature of gnome2. When you say it didn't finish, did it stop and give you an error? When compiling gnome2 on FreeBSD, depending on your hardware, it can take quite a while to complete and sometimes it'll take up to a few hours to finish. I recommend you take a look at http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/index.html as it will give you a lot of helpful information on installing and running gnome2 on FreeBSD. -- Jacques Manukyan Mario PNH wrote: I really liked the FreeBSD running on my ASUS desktop, until I tried to install gnome2 and I was surprised that it never finished it, during which it created some 20 and more user groups like 'nobody', 'anonymous', 'aiviah', 'games', etc ... and I am wondering if that was a normal process. # cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome2 # make install clean I have burned the DVD of 6.4 version lately and I don't know if that's all I needed to install gnome2 instead of using Ports Collection.

That's odd. Are you sure this is a bug in 6.2, and not some local
networking setup problem?
If you have tcpdumps and/or other useful data to track this down, then
please open a bug report, as 6.2 is used by _many_ people and a bug like
this would be annoying.

This is fine unless 2 ports depend on the same one -- i.e the glib related ones esp. The makes will "rm -f the .o" files and confuse one another.

Well, I already considered to fork/exec an external program to do the job (although I would use ppmtogif from the netpbm port, which seems a lot less heavy-weight than ImageMagick). But my program will be used to create a huge number of small graphics, so I would prefer to avoid the additional overhead of fork/exec. I also noticed that libMagick is 4 MB ... I don't really want to link that into my 30 KB program just to get GIF support.

I'm not sure if there are any, but csup is simply a reimplementation
of cvsup in C, as manpage says.
I'm using it as a replacement, here's a snip of my update-src.sh
script (I was previously using cvsup):
% [...]
% CSUP=/usr/bin/csup
% CVSUP=/usr/local/bin/cvsup
%
% CVS_UPDATER=${CSUP}
% [...]
% ${CVS_UPDATER} -L 2 -h ${SERVER} /root/supfiles/standard

Plus, if you do run into a seriously issue with a driver or interface, you're sort of stuck into upgrading anyhow.. Backwards compatibility is good though, even at the cost of going into unknown territory by yourself as (almost) everyone else has updated their versions to something a bit more current :). Plus, I'd be sure that any issues that existed security-wise do or don't affect the version you currently have if it's out of date. For instance, the OpenSSL buffer overrun issue that was discovered 2 months ago I think. I believe that the issue was fixed and patched in a few CVS source trees, but not in others. So related to my previous comments, in general these are 2 important questions to consider when administering your system: 1. Is it or is it not secure, due to lack of support? 2. If not, how much is it worth to me to manually update and patch the source (assuming it's possible) to fix the vulnerabilities present in my system instead of just upgrading? - -Garrett -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFQa5q6CkrZkzMC68RAv1rAJ94e4hw5HLL4cAvvwUuzD7xqwVAWwCeJxKp ZRfmjACmNZ6C4485/BGdtuQ= =dt+I -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

You've asked a question, given some clarification as to what you are referring to, and I can tell you I don't have anything other than possibilities - which may be far from the truth - as to why this is. You're referring to a 4 CD set, that can't be downloaded from FreeBSD.org, that has to come from somewhere else, such as the FreeBSD Mall or somewhere else. I would use that if I couldn't connect to the Internet at all. Maybe, I should say: I can't tell you why it is that way. I've never been very concerned about it, just understood that it was that way and lived with it. I've never had a problem with an up-to-date ports tree not playing nicely with a RELEASE or a STABLE install. I suspect the reason is that I just never happened to up-date the ports tree at a time when there were problems. It does happen at times, but then... You've probably heard the advice "somethings wrong with your ports tree, blow it off and re-install it." It's not a big problem to deal with, the problem comes when you need to do it and don't. Sysinstall only asks if you want to install the ports tree. If I was going to update it with cvsup, I would install it from there. I use portsnap, so I don't install it from the CD. Yes, I have a hi-speed connection. It makes things easier. I wouldn't be without it.

This is the approach I took. All looked like it was going well until the point of needing to switch cdroms. Couldn't do it. My cdrom would not eject so I could switch CDROMs. Not sure what the problem was/is, but got to thinking because it was mounted, i.e., mount /cdrom manually initially by me before starting the "sysinstall" command. Anyone I just ignored trying to install those packages that I had selected and eventually finished up, but when finished, I could not find the /usr/ports directory ... even though sysinstall reported individually the selected packages were installed properly during the process. Oh well, something went awry. I'll try again with hopefully only selecting items from one cdrom to try to control the process in that regard and see if I experience the same result.

I cannot with certainly vouch there is nothing wrong with my system. It hasn't locked up; it hasn't conked out on me; I've been able to do a number of things (albeit they are cursory type things ... nothing big ... executing various Unix commands, creating a few small C programs and compiling them with gcc tool, etc) thus far, without incident. JR> BTW, I would delete your manually-created /usr/ports JR> directory and everything in it, just in case. I did this prior to the above steps. The release I have installed is FreeBSD 6.1 Release #0 May 07 ... perhaps this is part of the problems I'm experiencing. I bought the FreeBSD Mall 4 CDROM, May 2006 set. May be I need to try to get a newer version. I think I saw where there is some release #2 mentioned by various list members. I suppose I could download it from the web site and burn it. I'd only need the first cdrom, right? Thanks in advance. While I may not be making "leaps and bounds", I do feel I'm making some headway! Take care. This sounds like a bug to me; before you do anything else I would: 1. Make sure there is no /usr/ports directory; 2. Insert the FBSD CDROM, *without mounting it* 3. Run sysinstall and attempt to install the ports tree again. If this doesn't work, I would download the FBSD 6.1 CD from a mirror (it was 6.1 you were using, wasn't it?), burn it, and reinstall. If you are sure you don't need any packages from CD2, you can forgo downloading and burning that one. In fact if you have the net connection (and the patience), you can download a "bootonly" iso that, when used to boot the system, downloads everything else needed from the net. HTH (especially as if it does not, I'm out of ideas! :-/) BTW, if you DO end up reinstalling, make sure you reformat your partitions, as I have sometimes run out of space when attempting to reinstall on partitions with data still on them.

Perhaps, The ports collection is a set of recipes that enable the the ports system to automatically fetch the source, extract it, patch it, build and install the result. You can do all this manually, but it's often not straightforward. And the added advantage is that software that's installed through the ports system is also registered in the package database- making it easier to deinstall and upgrade.

I too took this same approach as the box I installed FreeBSD 6.1 Release is not hooked up to the Internet. I bypassed installing the Ports collection. The installation went well and I have been refamiliarizing myself with Unix CLI commands and reading bits and pieces of documentation here and there. FreeBSD is pretty neat and has quite a few subtle differences from systems I worked on some years back, i.e., Solaris, HP-UX, etc. Anyway, now I would like to install the ports collection without having to reinstall the whole system again, if possible, thus my interest in this thread. For instance, I decided I wanted to install sudo ...

Resultant message I received was: "make: Don't know how to make install. Stop" Obviously I've done something wrong here ... misstepped or tried to do the impossible, huh? LOL! Perhaps, sudo can only be installed via the pkg-add route per your mention below? I invoked sysinstall, but didn't see right away anything clearly indicating the "path to take" in resolving my dilemma. I'll keep reading and trying and may be stumble across the proper way to accomplish this, but all the while monitoring this email list for further enlightenment.

Try running this to clean up any crud left from you old builds. portsclean -CDDLP Now run: portsnap fetch && portsnap update Now you can run the portupgrade command.

Is gd library in the ports collection.
I have reviewed the ports list for a port called gd and could not tell from the names if any were the gd library talked about here. http://www.boutell.com/gd/ Can any one point me to the correct port name if its really in the ports collection. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Ports collection via portupgrade
Hi everyone, I just wanted to pass on how I've had so much success using portupgrade to install new software under FreeBSD 6.0 I build my previous installations into packages and backup them up to the location specified by PKG_TMPDIR=/usr/local/temp/ports_pkgs.bak (which I never remember but have it set in root's shell env. anyway) I just installed the native Flash plugin for Mozilla which works great. #portupgrade -bNr flashplugin-mozilla I love portupgrade's "globbing". Can't use it blindly but almost. I'd love to hear what other users are having good success with for this or other tasks.

Michael C. Shultz wrote: First of all I just noticed your running portmanager ver 0.3.8_2, the current version is 0.3.9_5, wish I caught that earlier. For now try this: pkg_delete -f jre-1.1.8 check in /usr/local/etc/pkpkgtools.conf and /usr/local/etc/portmanager/pm-020.conf and see if you have java/linux-sun-jdk14 marked as ignore, if so undo that. The log isn't very complete in this version of portmanager so send the output of the status screen also like you did the last time after running portmanager -u -l -p so I can see what is up with the kde ports. Don't update the ports tree just yet or you will have to do the manual deinstall/reinstall of nvidia again, better we clean out the old crud like compat3x-i386-5.0.20020925 and things that depend on it first.
