Re: Failing to retrieve source tarballs for anything.
I was running FreeBSD 11.1, as 11.2 has that stupid freezing on cryptosoft0 (or whatever that’s called). Will reload FreeBSD 11.1 from the “DVD” when I get home (I am not at home to use it at the moment, will be home by sometime Monday.) I currently have a form of Ubuntu 12.04 loaded on it.

Alex, despite what the documentation says, I wouldn't try to build too much using the regular make methods (or portmaster). There are a number of dependencies that are incompatible that you can skate by if you use packages, synth or poudriere. Unless you're going to heavily customize your options, I'd stick with the simplest, packages, until you have a reason not to. FreeBSD 11.2 is stable... what version are you running? If you're running something really old, packages may no longer be offered and you should try to upgrade, but that is a different problem. 11.1 and 10.4 still have some life. As Jonathan noted, having an up-to-date port tree is also important. If it's too old, you may be trying to grab tarballs that no longer exist.

Can you fetch ANY ports items? Can you ping 8.8.8.8? As stated earlier, the exact error message(s) would probably be very informative and without them we are all kinda shooting in the dark as to what of a million different things could be wrong. -- Rod Grimes rgri...@freebsd.org ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Hello, is the MINIMAL (in sys/adm64/conf) kernel config intentionally missing options BUF_TRACKING # Track buffer history Not that I'm missing it, but to my understanding debug features shouldn't differ for predefined -current KERNCONF.
