Hi Polytropon. I did have a look inside and I did pkg_add -v which gives enough information combined with my meagre knowledge to guess that it had something to do with source. I'm so unfamiliar with pkg_add I'm not sure if that is normal. I'm very new here. Certainly it's not in a suitable format for pkg_add to deal with. I guess pkg_add is the preferred option for firmware installation. I'll contact the maintainer.

I did have a look inside and I did pkg_add -v which gives enough information combined with my meagre knowledge to guess that it had something to do with source. A port (as you can find it inside the archive) is a recipe for dealing with sources, e. g. where to obtain then, how to compile, where to install to and so on. The ports collection of the FreeBSD OS is used to deal with handling software based on sources: configure, patch, build, install, deinstall, upgrade and similar tasks. See man ports for a better explaination. I'm so unfamiliar with pkg_add I'm not sure if that is normal. The pkg_add utility installs programs from binary packages. Those packages are created by compiling a port - typically with its default options. Those packages are built for the FreeBSD ports collection and made available by the FreeBSD team. External packages, created outside the world of FreeBSD ports, are possible. See man pkg_add for details. I'm very new here. Certainly it's not in a suitable format for pkg_add to deal with. Correct. A pkg_add package typically contains compiled stuff, i. e. binaries, and a packaging list for installation and later removal. Additional tasks can also be scripted. I guess pkg_add is the preferred option for firmware installation. It's used to install programs (or libraries) to the FreeBSD system. The use with firmware is also possible. Basically, ports (from source) and packages (precompiled binaries) have the same purpose: Get things installed. If the maintainer would compile the port (that he provided for download) and give the proper URL of the result in the manpage, pkg_add would work as intended. I'll contact the maintainer. That would be a good idea as the description you quoted from the manpage is technically not correct. Option 1: Provide a pkg_add-able package. Option 2: Provide instructions on how to deal with the port. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ 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

Is that right? I'm not sure. (To be frank, I hadn't looked at the advisories so far. Since no one's answered your question yet, I just had a look at them to see if I can throw some light). The reason I say I am not sure is that if you click on the FreeBSD-SA-07:04.file.asc advisory for instance, you'll see that it applies to *all* FreeBSD releases. So if you are on the 6.2 release, this is one patch you have to apply. I'd suppose there are other patches too that similarly might apply to the 6.2 release. If you are on FreeBSD 6.2, use the freebsd-update tool to keep your system up-to-date. That automatically fetches the patches necessary for your system. If you are on FreeBSD 5.5, install this tool from ports.

Ok, so you may want x-org-server deleted, by what about some other dependency that your unwanted app shares with some port you really do want to keep around? I find pkg_cutleaves handy. It will loop through all the leaves of your dependency tree (all ports that do not have any other ports dependant on them), and asks if you want to keep or delete it. After the ports tree is cleaned up, it will ask you to repeat the process for any ports that may have become leaves as a result of the previous iteration. When I look through the pkg_info list, I usually don't know what all the installed ports do, I why I need it. But i usually do know if I need a leaf or not.

Re: simple question...how to show packages which depend upon
Graham Bentley írta: And ... how to remove a package and all the packages it sucked in ? All I get from pkg_delete that it isnt even installed when I know it is because that was the previous command I just ran !!! Can you please send us the commands that you have executed? If you used pkg_add -r package name then the name of the package can be a general package name, without version number. This is useful since usually you are not sure what is the latest version, you just want to install it. Here is an example: messias# pkg_add -r mc Fetching ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.1-release/Latest/mc.tbz... Done. pkg_add: package 'mc-4.6.1_3' or its older version already installed However, if you add a package that is saved locally, you need to type in its full name (or path): pkg_add mc-4.6.1_3.tbz or something similar. Once you have the package/port installed, you can lookup its full name with pkg_which: messias# pkg_which mc mc-4.6.1_4 When you need to delete a package, you need to specify the full name (including the version number). The reason for this is easy: it is possible to have different versions of the same package installed at the same time. (Well, this is not true for some packages, but it is true for others...) So instead of doing: pkg_delete mc you should use: pkg_delete mc-4.6.1_4 I hope this answers your question. If it does, then probably reading these man pages will help you a LOT: portupgrade(1) pkg_add(1) pkg_deinstall(1) pkg_delete(1) pkg_glob(1) pkg_info(1) pkg_sort(1) pkg_update(1) pkgdb(1) ports_glob(1) portsclean(1) portsdb(1) portversion(1) pkgtools.conf(5) ports(7) Best, Laszlo ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

simple question...how to show packages which depend upon a particular port
Hi peeps, I'm almost ashamed to ask this BUT I really don't know how to find the packages which depend upon a particular port. In this case, a portversion -l showed mysql-client in that list. I can't recall having installed it by myself I wanted to know what the packages are which depend on it.

Did you install mysql-server with default options? Actually, in
mysql51-server port, there is no option to disable install of the
client portion.
I wanted to know what the packages are which depend on it. Can
somebody show me this command..and if it will be a RTFM
answer, please tell me which FM:-)
Here are some of the ways not requiring connection to Internet I
know ...
- running make -V {LIB,RUN,BUILD}_DEPENDS in a port directory
also lists the appropriate type of dependency list, so would
running make pretty-print-{run,build}-depends-list;
- pkg_info(1) w/ -[rR] options lists the dependencies for given
ports|packages;
- ${PORTSDIR:-/usr/ports}/INDEX* lists dependencies for each port
(which may need post processing to be human readable);
- sysutils/pkg_tree port creates text tree of the dependencies;
As for FM, see ...
- pkg_info(1) pkg_tree(7) man pages;
- ${PORTSDIR:-/usr/ports}/Mk/bsd.port.mk
- Parv

simple question on portupgrade
Good evening, I am looking at the downward recursive option of portupgrade. Does this option (-R) only include the immediate dependencies of the port in question or is it truly recursive in the sense that it will upgrade dependencies of dependencies as well? Secondly, I see that the features of portupgrade for upward and downward recursiveness use opposite lettering to that of pkg_info: portupgrade -R is like pkg_info -r portupgrade -r is like pkg_info -R Example: # portupgrade -Rn bash --- Listing the results (+:done / -:ignored / *:skipped / !:failed) - converters/libiconv (libiconv-1.9.2_2) - devel/gettext (gettext-0.14.5_2) - shells/bash (bash-3.1.10) # pkg_info -rx bash Dependency: libiconv-1.9.2_2 Dependency: gettext-0.14.5_2 This seems pretty silly.

To change things so that it does not start on the next boot, removing the symlink in the appropriate runlevel (the default is 2, I believe) would do the trick. If you're concerned with managing services on boot in general then I highly recommend a program such as sysv-rc-conf or rcconf to manage the symbolic links for you.

Where are those sources? 2) The questions' question: where can I read what are the options I can use with a certain source package and how can I use them when make(-ing) the program? 3) It goes without saying that many freebsd commands are the same as in linux but I cannot find the freebsd command equivalent to the linux command 'free' giving info about the size of memory used by the system's cache, buffers, swap, etc. Please help.

Now, while i I know how to compile an application in /usr/ports I cannot find sources of the base system I had to install when starting the first installation from scratch. Where are those sources? The system sources are normally installed in /usr/src if they are installed. If they are not, you can install them from sysinstall, or keep up with the latest sources on any of several branches of FreeBSD. See the FreeBSD Handbook section on The Cutting Edge. 2) The questions' question: where can I read what are the options I can use with a certain source package and how can I use them when make(-ing) the program? Not clear what you mean, but man ports will give you some information about how things work in general. Many ports have a config target (so you can make config and set some config options). I often look at the port makefile to see what variables it supports. If you're not using the ports system, then naturally you're on your own; every third-party program can set its options any way the author wished. 3) It goes without saying that many freebsd commands are the same as in linux but I cannot find the freebsd command equivalent to the linux command 'free' giving info about the size of memory used by the system's cache, buffers, swap, etc. Try top(1), swapinfo(8), vmstat(8), and so on (and see the SEE ALSO sections in their manual pages). Also, if you're not highly knowledgeable in Virtual Memory architecture techniques, see the FAQ entries titled FreeBSD uses far more swap space than Linux. Why? and Why does top show very little free memory even when I have very few programs running?. Good luck. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The sources for the base system are available on the same media from which you installed. If you don't have anything under /usr/src/ the you didn't install the sources. With a running system you can run the program called 'sysinstall', the same one use to install the intial system and install the sources. You can do this: sysinstall - Configure - Distributions - src 2) The questions' question: where can I read what are the options I can use with a certain source package and how can I use them when make(-ing) the program?

You can also get info from systat(1), check out the manpage. Nathan -- PGP Public Key: pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=getsearch=0xD8527E49 pgpOpw8G3UjS9.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: one simple question

Re: one simple question
thank you very much for the reply
yes and I am using gcc 3.2.2
if you gdb the executable and disassemble main
you will see the line like that
but if you use gcc -S something.s something.c
it won't appear in the assembly code
and I google around, I think it does the alignment for optimization
purpose, in that case the memory access will be faster according to the
article.

Simple question about X
Hi all. I've got a simple and stupid question. I'm trying to run an X app (dcgui) via Xmanager from a windows box. So...I did a make install on that, and it complained about xauth not being there. So, I just installed X, did a make install in /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4. But when I type startx or X I get a message that it's unable to open a config file. And I'm having a MAJOR brain fart and cannot remember what package provides the configure scripts. Can someone help me out?

Re: Simple question about X
You shouldn't even need to configure X if you are exporting the display. X needs to be installed merely for the support apps libraries. Make sure your DISPLAY Variable is set to windowshostname:0 where 0 is the number of your display (And it should be 0 by default). Then from the command line, run the app, it should appear on your Windows Desktop. Adam On Sat, 2003-01-25 at 14:31, Brian McCann wrote: Hi all. I've got a simple and stupid question.

simple question about remote kernel debugging with gdb
Hi, When doing remote kernel debugging, how to I detach the remote machine? man ddb says the gdb command toggles between remote GDB and DDB mode. The problem is that once toggled to remote GDB, gdb won't accept gdb as a command: (kgdb) target remote /dev/cuaa0 Remote debugging using /dev/cuaa0 0xc0207d15 in osigreturn (p=0xc02487a9, uap=0x0) at ../../i386/i386/machdep.c:803 803 vm86-vm86_eflags = eflags; /* save VIF, VIP */ (kgdb) gdb Undefined command: gdb. Try help. So what is the simple solution to this problem? Regards, Jonas To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Kent That will work unless tar has stderr output (error messages) which might then cause the tar command to suspend, or cause the error messages to appear on the screen, depending upon your stty tostop setting. Also, by turning off the verbose option you won't see the list of files extracted. A better way (IMHO) would be to leave the verbose option on, and capture both stdout and stderr output to a file, while running the whole thing in background. Then when you're notified that the command completed, you can peruse the file to see both the list and any errors. The way to do this depends on the shell you're running. With 'sh' and its derivatives use: tar -xvzf ports.tar.gz tarlog.txt 21 With 'csh' and its derivatives use: tar -xvzf ports.tar.gz tarlog.txt When the background command finishes, all the output will be in tarlog.txt Hope this helps, Paul A.

Just a shot in the dark, but how about... # script tarout tar -xvzf ports.tar.gz ...? Best regards, Paul [Everlund] Well, yes. That will work, too. Better yet, it is immune to the differences between shells. Simpler is often better. :-) I had hoped my explanation would lead to a better understanding of how the shell processes these things (and hopefully provide some incentive to read the man pages).
