Re: NEW: x11/gtkada (GtkAda-gpl-2.10.0)
Ok, I fixed my problems and now got a working version without any errors. Please test. Works for me on i386 with gnat from patched gcc-4.2 (see the patch at http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-portsm=117679065130354w=2) Regards, Julian

pkg_add, ftp and dumb network
I think I'm starting to figure out what goes wrong with pkg_add and ftp... For those people who know network stuff, you know ftp is special, in that there are two opened connections, one for control, and one for data. This was a pretty rad design when it happened... but not surprisingly, nobody designs protocols this way now. Enter network equipment. Mostly stupid stuff. Runs idiotic proprietary software, or dumb linux shit, or has been configured by idiots. In any case, most of these equipments don't know shit about ftp. You have to play games (active/passive) to get them to open connections. This, however, does not solve the NEXT problem, which is that of aggressive timeouts. For many reasons, some genuine, some not, these equipments expire connections faster than a lemming goes over the next cliff. This is called `aggressive'. In many cases, it's just a control freak of an administrator who is worried that someone might be misusing his precious resources. In other cases, it's just stupid equipment that can't handle the load. And these equipments are dumb, they don't know the control connection is related to the data connection. So a file transfer goes like this: send some commands, open a data connection, and transfer the file... during the transfer, the control connection stays silent... that is, totally silent. And then, we come back up, and there is NO control connection left. Over the lousy five minutes it took us to transfer the file, the dumb network shit expired it... This is a total waste of resource: everything else involved is just stuck wasting time, your ftp client is waiting for the server to ack, the server has a connection standing there waiting for the next client command... It all boils down to: ftp is broken. Most of the time. Badly. We may put work-arounds in the ftp command, but the protocol no longer work. Most networks have broken it, somewhere along the line...
Report on package updates
Done with the proposed package update (http://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade41.html): pkg_add -ui -F update -F updatedepends did a good job; maybe except of Cannot find updates for php5-extensions-5.1.4 php5-mysql-5.1.4-hardened pkgconfig-0.19p0 , because apache didn't start until I did pkg_delete php5-extensions-5.1.4 pkg_delete php5-mysql-5.1.4-hardened pkg_add php5-mysql /usr/local/sbin/phpxs -s /usr/local/sbin/phpxs -a mysql Also, at the end, there were plenty of install/uninstall messages flushing by. Does it make any sense to propose to suppress these in case of an upgrade of package foo ? At least, if there is no change ? Finally, for whatever reason and despite of the upgrade going through perfectly well, postfix was replaced by sendmail. Which could be rectified with /usr/local/sbin/postfix-enable Still, is there a good reason for this to happen ? Overall, a great experience and what an improvement ! Thanks ! Uwe
NEW: textproc/xmlada
Hi, I just finished porting XML/Ada. It's a XML module for Ada. The port works for me on i386 with patched GNAT version (see below). All regress tests compile without error. Please test and comment.

Thanks for testing it.
I just noticed that the .gpr files generated contain the path of
${WRKINST} - that shouldn't be... Will try to fix it as soon as
possible.

Please test and comment. Ok, I just encountered some problems using the port. I'll try to fix it, but I can't really find hints about what's going wrong. If a .gpr file contains something like with xmlada; (or any other of the .gpr files provided by this port), I get following error: $ gnatmake -Pfoo xmlada_unicode.gpr:3:30: file with sources xmlada/xmlada_unicode.lgpr does not exist gnatmake: foo processing failed Does anybody have ideas why this happens? (Hope I find a fix soon.) Regards, Julian
