Yes I read it - many times - trust me.

That's the point I don't understand the message If you have an answer it would be great.

Ok, let's say GNOME was removed from ports by your suggestion. In that case, you WOULD need to find another solution. In the mean time, no one would be attempting to isolate and repair problems with GNOME, which means nothing would get better, and you would still have to find another solution. From your original post: Do the porters check that the ports work before a release? uh...yes. But...YOU also have to be involved. Don't wait for a new release, then whine that it is broken. TOO LATE! You missed your chance. Quit letting other people do your testing and work, and then whining about the results. I find it entertaining (in a morbid sort of way) when people come from Linux when they realize some of the same things that drove them to Linux in the first place take place there, too. So then they go hunting around for an alternative, and then they try to make their alternative look just like what they gave up on. *sigh* Nick.

Not much there's to be done about that, but still - something to think about. Joachim

multibooting X40 / lenovo load
Dear Misc, I want to leave the pre-loaded Windows XP on the X40, so I: a) didn't let it convert to NTFS b) deleted the IBM/Lenovo utility partition c) resized part 0 (C) d) using OpenBSD install fdisk, created an OpenBSD partition (above cylinder 1024). Now, after creating slice a, the OpenBSD disklabel does not do the math for me. It give me the same beginning offset as for wd0a. So I then: did the math (added all the offsets created the partitions), but now it won't boot (it just goes ahead and boots XP). Now I have some questions: 1. Why is disklabel acting retarded? (or what am I doing that's retarded)? 2. why no booting? 3. Is this a 1024 cylinder problem? I thought this was a fixed issue a few releases back. thanks, CP -- Chris Paul Sentinare Messaging Solutions 106 Maywood Drive, Boulder Creek, CA 95006 web: http://www.sentinare.com phone: +1 (877) 727-9786 mobile: +1 (831) 818-5369 [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type APPLICATION/DEFANGED which had a name of chris.paul.18238DEFANGED-vcf]

Re: OpenBSD 3.8 ports quality?
I differ a bit. If the port were removed, there'd be even less incentive to work to fix it in future. But, if testing shows it doesn't work, it should be marked as BROKEN for releases, yes. Now, wrt testing, it applies what others said: Everyone is asked to contribute, even if the contribution is only testing and feedback. Oh yes, I agree, I am not complaining because gnumeric does not work, I complain because I understand that a released software shoud not have such kinds of trivial bugs. If the porters cannot fix it, it should be marked as BROKEN, just to avoid to the potential OpenBSD users thinking that they have that application ready to use. When I first discover OpenBSD after some years using Linux, I got in love with it, I liked its philosophy very much, its correctness, its documentation, the way the kernel boots, Everything is where you spect it to be. Sometimes linux is a mess. I looked at the package list, just to see if I could use the same applications I used to work under Linux. I said yes!, I can use GNOME, GNUMERIC, VLC, Vim, etc.. great!. But I have realized that it was not true. Just before the code freeze for 3.9, for example, there was a request on the OpenBSD lists to test stuff *now*. That would've been the best time to try out everything you'd possibly like and report back on it. That'd have ensured that the port would either be fixed or marked BROKEN in time. Yes, I would have liked to help, but I have not had enough free time. Ramiro, Kind regards, Hannah.
Re: OpenBSD 3.8 ports quality?
Hello Helping is done with cash donations and diffs. Being an buttplug is not. I do not have enough money to make donations, I have contributed buying a CD set. I think it is insignificant and not too much but it is the only thing I can afford. I am not capable of sending any diffs. Not everybody is capable of understanding complex programs. It's and external piece of code and like most GNU code it sucks shit. Why do you say that? Gnumeric works nicely under Linux. No problem at all. Welcome to our world! Where most code is written for Linux only with lower quality standards than Windows 3.11. Don't like it? Go tell the Gnome imbeciles that *they* need to learn how to program. Why do you insult to the GNU people? aren't you using their compiler?. I do not understand why you say such things. Peace, please. Regards. Ramiro. Ramiro.

Re: OpenBSD 3.8 ports quality?
I have tested it in two very different machines and It fails as soon as you format a cell. no, my laptop runs -current. Oh great, it means that they have fixed it! It is not every possible combination of program and input, it is a failure that appears as soon as you format a cell. you're missing the big picture. it is every possible combination of program and input - but we can't investigate stuff unless people report it. and people won't report bugs in features they never use. and we hardly ever backport fixes to old ports. programs mysteriously conflict with each other all the time. authors change APIs or dependencies and then everything breaks. that's why it took us so long to upgrade gettext... and i'm pretty sure that it's not hard to find gnumeric users who don't format cells. i hardly ever do: people send me excel spreadsheets, i look at them, say yes or no, and that's the end of it. Well, I understand, but formating a cell under a spreadsheet is so important thing that I can not conveive a spreadcheet without it. You need formating a numeric cell for example to stablish the quantity of digits on the right of the decimal point. It is just an example, but it is heavily used. If gnumeric is broken, do not release it, I would have choosen kspread without complaining here. I think that I am saying very reasonable things. Some people start getting angry very quickly. I of course appreciate your work and the work of all the people who contribute to OpenBSD. I just want to say that I was disappoited on how many basic bugs I found on very few time on OpenBSD ports. I just wanted to do constructive comments. That could be an interesting thing, the problem is that my C programming skills are very limited, just enough to write very simple programs. I am pleased to do any test you need. well this is a good opportunity to learn C, then. read bsd.port.mk(7) - pay attention to the parts about compiler flags. build gnumeric and all its dependencies with -g, don't strip the output, and see if you can get a crash dump. then use gdb or ddd to look at the crash. if nothing else, that'll give you someplace to start writing a bug report. you might even get lucky and not have to build with debug symbols - look at the core and see if it tells you where it crashed. Thank you very much for the interesting information. I will start reading, studying and understanding what you recomended. It will be hard work, I am 35 and thing I am too old to understand such complex software ;-). Programming is something one has to learn very early, in order to understand it easily. I appreciate very much your constructive email. Regards. Ramiro. when fixing ports, don't waste your time on a released version (3.8, 3.9, etc). those are frozen and rarely ever change. if you find a in a release, see if it exists in -current and try fix or report it. CK -- GDB has a 'break' feature; why doesn't it have 'fix' too? ;-)
Re: Where to find 3.9 snapshots
Am I missing something? Are snapshot not available anymore? We've just finished building the 3.9 release, and will soon start making -current snapshots available again. Hold on.

Follow the cvs-changes and ports-changes mailing lists for a while and you'll see what is involved with this. It doesn't take long to notice that this doesn't just require skill, it also requires a lot of time, effort, and attention to detail. Sometimes linux is a mess. No surprise that apps written primarily for Linux sometimes follow the same philosophy. Often it seems that people prefer to write how-to work around a problem than document it and report it to the people that might be able to fix it.

Yes, I would have liked to help, but I have not had enough free time. It takes, what, a couple of hours to install a snapshot, set PKG_PATH appropriately and upgrade the pre-built packages if you haven't done it before...well under an hour real-time if you have. For next time: With OpenBSD, running -current is quite low-risk in the first place, running snapshots even safer. Running snapshots in the weeks building up to a release is like running a release candidate from many other software projects, any big problems would be both surprising and important to report. It seems like a simple thing to just test and report success or failure, but a few dozen people doing this and using sendbug or writing to ports@ or the maintainer where appropriate really extends the number of environments that get tested. The OpenBSD community is small enough that *you* can make a difference.

(or what am I doing that's retarded)? 2. why no booting? 3. Is this a 1024 cylinder problem? I thought this was a fixed issue a few releases back. Well, like was said, you lack fdisk and disklabel output. However, did you remember to mark the partition active?

At the moment, the RELEASE is their primary concern. Snapshots are not available and new snaps of CURRENT won't be up for a while. This basically means, they're busy with the RELEASE and it might be a while before they turn their attention back to CURRENT. kind regards, jcr
