python 2.3 binary package bug
I installed this binary package ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/All/python23-2.3.5_1.tbz on my freebsd 6.1 system and while testing had a problem related to /usr/local/lib/python2.3/lib-dynload/_socket.so (it didn't appear to be there). When I build from the source of the package it seems OK. Is this a bug? The binary install mentioned certain bits might be missing, but socket wasn't one of them. If it is a bug what's the reporting mechanism? -- Robin Becker ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I don't believe it does. you're right; part of the cli version has bits already filled in with the release version and (I believe) output from uname -a. -- Robin Becker ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks for the pointers. If you set $VISUAL in your environment to /usr/local/bin/vim (assuming that's where it lives) then send-pr ought to use that for your editor. The same is true for many other utilities which use an editor such as less, cvs etc. Only need to be careful that in single-user mode you may not have /usr/local available in which case a quick unset VISUAL or unsetenv VISUAL ((t)csh) is all you need. (If VISUAL is not set most utilities then look for $EDITOR. Traditionally EDITOR was expected to be a line-editor which would work on a teletype, but not much call for that these days :-)). --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

A quick check indicates no. Also, web-based version is trickier for patches IIRC since simple cut-and-paste into a web form can end up translating tabs to spaces. Easy enough to just attach a patch though. Over all I remember finding the web form easier - release info and uname -a not too hard to cut-and-paste. In the end, it's a matter of personal preference, I guess :-) --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
