Wireshark, RTP stream playback and portaudio2

2014-03-22 Thread Mars G. Miro
Hi

If you build wireshark w/ support for playing back RTP streams and you
have already audio/portaudio2 installed, the build will fail. But you
can build wireshark w/ portaudio2 instead, here's a patched attached.

Thanks.

FreeBSD ports you maintain which are out of date

2014-03-22 Thread portscout
Dear port maintainer,

The portscout new distfile checker has detected that one or more of your
ports appears to be out of date. Please take the opportunity to check
each of the ports listed below, and if possible and appropriate,
submit/commit an update. If any ports have already been updated, you can
safely ignore the entry.

You will not be e-mailed again for any of the port/version combinations
below.

Full details can be found at the following URL:

Hi Jerry :)

I'm a major part of the way through finishing a lang/python34 port, that
is taking a little extra time due to it being created from scratch,
rather than copying/inheriting from the existing ports.

It's currently builds and passes the test suite, what's left is cherry
picking from the various overrides and workarounds from existing ports
to ensure those cases are covered, and some minor annoyances (like a
proper and uniquely versioned shared library name)

If you're interested in having a early play, jump on IRC
(#freebsd-python on freenode) and I'd be happy to share my WIP update
and get feedback

Thanks for getting in touch.

poudriere -- how to set MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX and SSH_AUTH_SOCK?

2014-03-22 Thread Lev Serebryakov
Hello, Freebsd-ports.

 I want to update jails via buildworld with svn+ssh+ access to sources,
but I want to use my own MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX, not /usr/obj, and use ssh agenmt
authorization.

 I'm running poudriere as sudo poudriere args. sudo pass these two
 variables:

% sudo env
TERM=screen
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/home/lev/bin
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/usr/home/lev/.ssh/ssh-auth-sock-fbsd-c-64.vm.home.serebryakov.spb.ru
MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/usr/local/poudriere/data/jails-obj
SHELL=/bin/tcsh
MAIL=/var/mail/root
LOGNAME=root
USER=root
USERNAME=root
HOME=/root
SUDO_COMMAND=/usr/bin/env
SUDO_USER=lev
SUDO_UID=1001
SUDO_GID=1001
%

 And sudo ssh lev@svn-server works without password too:

% sudo ssh lev@blob
...
%

 But poudriere asks for password for ssh and uses /usr/obj :(

How to build PHP 5.4 without mysqlnd?

2014-03-22 Thread Reko Turja

Greetings!

Compiling mysqlnd into PHP is excess baggage for us not using MySQL in any 
shape or form. Yet it seems that there is no way for disabling in in the 
php5 building process. Setting WITHOUT_MYSQL=yes in make.conf does not do 
anything, removing --enable_mysqlnd in Makefile results in staging errors 
etc.


So, any pointers how to make the build complete without mysqlnd, preferably 
so that I didn't need to manually fix the port files after every update?

LPPL10 license consequences intended? (arabic/arabtex)

2014-03-22 Thread John Marino
In December, Nicola set the license for Arabtex to LPPL10.
The result is that the port is no longer packagable:

  Ignoring arabic/arabtex: License LPPL10 needs confirmation, but BATCH 
 is defined
 build of /usr/ports/arabic/arabtex ended at Mon Mar 17 16:12:44 PDT 2014

From a quick conversation on IRC, I got the idea that the license was
correct and many more Tex packages should also have this license.
If/when that happens, does that mean Tex packages are only to be built
from source?

Is it correct that LPPL10 can't be built in a batch?
The impact for DPorts is pretty high because a requirement for a dport
is that it can produce a binary package so right now it looks like I
have to prune arabtex.

Re: reason 23 why we've moved to linux

2014-03-22 Thread Randy Bush
from another team member, also a long time freebsd user of decades

firefox build bombs because something has hardwired gcc47, which is
not installed, so firefox's ./configure bombs testing hello world.

Attempting to figure out what has hardwired gcc47 quickly leads down
an entire separate /usr/ports/Mk/ file full of the usual garbage, none
of which actually says gcc47.   Presumably it is somehow inheriting
from /usr/ports/lang/gcc's version (as opposed to
/usr/port/lang/gcc4[69] -- this machine happens to have gcc46
installed).

This is as far as I got before giving up in disgust.  Maybe they'll
sort it out by the time I care.  Or maybe I'll wipe and Ubuntu.

essentially, from a user perspective, the ports have become kiddieville,
with no testing or seeming adult supervision.  if you're just trying to
get your work done, freebsd ports have become toxic.

This is actually a serious problem, not just for Randy, but for many 
people. I've stopped updating machines because it is impossible to trust 
that ports actually works -- and has been impossible to do so for a year 
now. I realize that a lot of feature changes have been required for 
modernization (staging, for example), but the pace has been relentless 
enough that things just don't work the majority of the time. Ports used 
to be one of FreeBSD's great strengths -- now it is driving people away. 
This is not anecdotal and not a limited problem.


At least testing branches would be appreciated.

As a counter-point, I just upgraded 4 systems running different versions of
9.1-STABLE to 9.2-RELEASE-p3 this week. Took only 1 work day to:
  - migrate from single disk to zfs-on-root
  - migrate from gmirror to zfs-on-root
  - create new boot environment
  - rebuild world to get back to stock
  - use freebsd-update to get latest updates
  - upgrade pkg
  - upgrade/reinstall all packages

The longest part was rebuilding world to get things to a state where
freebsd-update could work. Everything after that took maybe an hour. I was
quite impressed by how quickly and easily things were updated/installed
using the binary tools.

Once you start using the binary tools and treat the FreeBSD systems like
Debian systems, everything works the same, with the same ease-of-use.

I did the same at home, going from FreeBSD 9.1 to PC-BSD 9.1 to TruOS 9
(rolling release) to PC-BSD 9.2. Didn't have to compile a thing.

The more I use only the binary tools, the more impressed with FreeBSD I
get. And I've been using it since 3.1/4.0 (although I do have 2.2 on CD).

The pkg team have been doing sine wonderful things. Once they stop changing
the config files, things will get even better. :)

talk about having to stand on your left foot while chewing gum.  you had
to make a movie to get someone to look at a bug.  and you're proud of it?

my point is simple.

there will always be a few bugs.  otoh, with freebsd ports, there may be
a few working paths, but they are damned hard to find.  and there is
very viable competition.  many long time freebsd users are leaving, yes
sadly, but leaving.  the window is closing.

Re: LPPL10 license consequences intended? (arabic/arabtex)

 From a quick conversation on IRC, I got the idea that the license was

 If/when that happens, does that mean Tex packages are only to be built

 Is it correct that LPPL10 can't be built in a batch?
 The impact for DPorts is pretty high because a requirement for a dport
 is that it can produce a binary package so right now it looks like I
 have to prune arabtex.

 John


Aside from any possible impact of the license, the Makefile contains:
NO_BUILD=   yes
so it ill never be packaged and redistributed. This is not an artifact of
the license and I don't know of the license would also block packaging.


I just read over LPPL and it i pretty clear that Compiled Work (i.e. the
binary code) may be redistributed:

3.  You may distribute a Compiled Work that has been generated from a
complete, unmodified copy of the Work as distributed under Clause 2
above, as long as that Compiled Work is distributed in such a way that
the recipients may install the Compiled Work on their system exactly
as it would have been installed if they generated a Compiled Work
directly from the Work.

Looking at the port, I see exactly NO modifications to the Work. This
assumes that arabtex is, itself, part of the official Distribution of the
Current Maintainers. It may be that it is, in fact, a Derived Work, not
officially blessed by the Current Maintainers. In that case it could not
be packaged under the terms of clause 3 (quoted above), but other LPPL
ports that are part of the official Work could be.

Derived Work may be redistributed as Compiled Work if certain
conditions are met. See clause 6 which is quite long and I am not confident
that I understand. (In fact, I'm quite confident that I don't fully
understand it.)

IANAL, but the text is pretty clear. I just have not spent the time to
confirm whether arabtex is Work of the project or Derived Work of the
official Distribution. (Note that quoted terms are legally defined terms
in the license.)

phpmyadmin -- regression in 4.1.10

2014-03-22 Thread Matthew Seaman

Anyone intending to install phpmyadmin after the update to 4.1.10 I made
earlier might possibly want to hold off for a few hours.  The upstream
project has just rushed out 4.1.11 which fixes a regression:

   Welcome to phpMyAdmin 4.1.11, fixing a regression in 4.1.10
(reCaptcha on the login panel no longer worked).

I'll be updating the port to 4.1.11 shortly.

Cheers,

Lose the -p3, because freebsd-update will get you to the lastet
patch level. If you don't like this behaviour, you can use svn.

So:

# freebsd-update upgrade -r 9.2-RELEASE

If you think that some piece of HW, SW or FW does not suck, it is
because you have acclimated yourself to that piece of, oops I'm

No. You must accept the license before you can build the port, and you
cannot interactively accept a license in non-interactive batch mode.

See the commments in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.licenses.mk for what to set in
make.conf to automatically accept certain licenses.

 
 Aside from any possible impact of the license, the Makefile contains:
 NO_BUILD=   yes
 so it ill never be packaged and redistributed. This is not an artifact of

NO_BUILD means only that the configure and compile steps are not
necessary for this port.

The option you're thinking of is NO_PACKAGE.

CFT: avidemux 2.6.8

2014-03-22 Thread Juergen Lock
Hi!

 frogs started an update of avidemux to a more recent version and
I got it to a point where avidemux3_qt4 i.e. the qt4 gui runs
and seems to work; the gtk gui crashes but from reports on the
web it's broken on Linux too and doesn't get much love anymore.
(the qt4 gui also crashes when the gtk gui is installed btw,
it picks up gtk plugins which crash when invoked...)
avidemux3_cli runs w/o args at least, I haven't tried actually
using it.

 If you want to test avidemux 2.6.8 here is the shar:

http://people.freebsd.org/~nox/tmp/avidemux268-preliminary-007.shar

 Or you can checkout from redports:

svn co https://svn.redports.org/nox/multimedia

first redports build: (still running atm)

https://redports.org/buildarchive/20140322204700-32763/

 You'll need to install at least multimedia/avidemux26
as well as multimedia/avidemux26-plugins and
multimedia/avidemux26-qt4 .  Oh and ignore my non-avidemux ports
on redports, they're older than what's in ports.

 Enjoy, :)
Juergen

PS: The nls stuff doesn't seem to get built anymore, do we care?

 Is it correct that LPPL10 can't be built in a batch?
 
 No. You must accept the license before you can build the port, and you
 cannot interactively accept a license in non-interactive batch mode.
 
 See the commments in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.licenses.mk for what to set in
 make.conf to automatically accept certain licenses.

I guess I should have been more clear.
I know LPPL10 is defined in such a way that packaging in batch mode is
not possible.  I was questioning if the definition was actually correct,
that this Tex port and every Tex port like it will be unpackagable.

Kevin Oberman wrote:
 I just read over LPPL and it i pretty clear that Compiled Work (i.e. the
 binary code) may be redistributed:
 
 3.  You may distribute a Compiled Work that has been generated from a
 complete, unmodified copy of the Work as distributed under Clause 2
 above, as long as that Compiled Work is distributed in such a way that
 the recipients may install the Compiled Work on their system exactly
 as it would have been installed if they generated a Compiled Work
 directly from the Work.
 
 Looking at the port, I see exactly NO modifications to the Work. This
 assumes that arabtex is, itself, part of the official Distribution of the
 Current Maintainers. It may be that it is, in fact, a Derived Work, not
 officially blessed by the Current Maintainers. In that case it could not
 be packaged under the terms of clause 3 (quoted above), but other LPPL
 ports that are part of the official Work could be.
 
 Derived Work may be redistributed as Compiled Work if certain
 conditions are met. See clause 6 which is quite long and I am not confident
 that I understand. (In fact, I'm quite confident that I don't fully
 understand it.)
 
 IANAL, but the text is pretty clear. I just have not spent the time to
 confirm whether arabtex is Work of the project or Derived Work of the
 official Distribution. (Note that quoted terms are legally defined terms
 in the license.)

Okay, this would imply that LPPL10 either has incorrect default
definitions or that a port like Arabtex may have to specifically define
it's ability to be packaged assuming it's unmodified from the original
work.  If the latter is true, every port that uses LPPL10 will need to
specifically check that...

Thanks for the thoughtful comments so far.

 there will always be a few bugs.  otoh, with freebsd ports, there may be
 a few working paths, but they are damned hard to find.  and there is
 very viable competition.  many long time freebsd users are leaving, yes
 sadly, but leaving.  the window is closing.

I'm not endorsing Randy's bedside manner on this one ;-), but he's
correct that the pkg transition has been a bit of a POLA violation.
It assumes that people have the skill and time to hunt for shims and
workarounds.

pkg will be a great step forward for busy sysadmins -- but the
transition itself has been a failure of empathy for them.  Some poor
guy hops on his FreeBSD box to get a vulnerability patched -- and
steps on a landmine of indeterminate time expenditure with few
breadcrumbs.  Even if he *has* been monitoring the lists.

IMO, we should have waited until we could automatically handle common
failure modes of the transition.

To this day, I still have an 8.3 jail that complains:

pkg: PACKAGESITE in pkg.conf is deprecated. Please create a
repository configuration file

... but I don't actually have a pkg.conf in that jail, and 'grep -r
PACKAGESITE /' yields no hits.

And why tell someone to create a file, without including a recommended
path?  Or better yet ... check to see if I already had one, and prompt
me to create one if I don't?

If FreeBSD built more tools that empathize with non-developers, they'd
have more time to develop. :-)

I was elucidating from the point of view of the ports license
infrastructure, not the point of view of a lawyer.

The code expects you to accept the license, and will not proceed until
you do. It's not my call whether or not it is legal for FreeBSD to
accept this license on behalf of the user.

It will complain in this manner if PACKAGESITE is defined in the

Yes, the message should be clearer about what exactly is wrong and what
to do about it.

 And why tell someone to create a file, without including a recommended

 me to create one if I don't?

So you mean you've already got a repository.conf file?  I which case the
error message is really inappropriate.  All I can say is that the
message dates from when the switch from pkg.conf to the
/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/ directory was first introduced and assumes you
have an old style setup which needs to be updated.

PACKAGESITE support in pkg.conf has been dropped entirely in 1.3 which
is in alpha at the moment.  I need to double check, but that should mean
those error messages will go away too.

 strange. Whenever I come in touch with Linux, I have the feeling that
 the people better would have kept Windows on their machine.

the first time i logged on to a linux system, i said `ls`, it came out
in color, and i walked away.

i have been a freebsd lover for a couple of decades, and 4.3 before
that.  but in the last couple of years it has become really painful.
and .bashrc has helped me not have broken fingers on linux, and the
bottom line is a *lot* less pain.

at least once a month, i have to do port security updates on over a
dozen freebsd systems.  it takes most of a day if i am lucky.

the linux systems update automagically and send me email telling me
what they did.

i value my time.

if i did not value freebsd, i would just walk away saying nothing.  but
the community seems to be in some sort of fantasy that things are OK and
nirvana is just around the corner.  linux has matured, believe it or
not.  freebsd, ports in particular, has rotted.  and folk are voting
with their feet.

I believe it is indeed what you are looking for [in spirit and in theory at 
least], hence the branch description: This is a stable branch which will be 
maintained for 3 months... and various commit descriptions marked MFH i.e. 
merged from head ranging from 3 months to 3 days ago. Now, whether or not 
this branch lives up to it's intent is another story all together. That part, I 
couldn't say because...

I, for one, admit to just now learning of this branch's existence. Then again, 
I never went looking for such a thing since, despite maintaining the deployment 
of 1300 ports on 130 servers [from a seat on a golf cart during the trips 
between the front and back nine], I so very seldom stumble upon a failure in 
ports HEAD that isn't fixed within mere moments or that I can't conveniently 
back-burner and have solved for me over the course of a day by a quick holler 
to the helpful and friendly folk on freebsd-ports@, but I guess that's just me.

FWIW, I only use 9.2 in production and I do share your underlying sentiment 
that 9.2 should still be the release marked Production and 10.0 should have 
been marked New Technology at least until 10.1. I think I recall the issue 
that triggered this long and windy thread was clang related. At least FreeBSD 
has notoriously thorough and long-lived legacy support.

FWIW, in my job I still use the old pkg_ tools, don't need portmaster, 
poudriere or any of that young punk noise, just the base tools with an 
occasional dash of svn. I've never felt an uncomfortable stampede of masses 
forcing my grumpy old self onto newer and better tech before I was good and 
ready for it, like happens to me while involved with many of the various types 
of Linix deployments I maintain, though the fear of such a thing happening to 
FreeBSD has always been real, what with the rapid pace of its development 
happening these days along with some people's ever-present nagging to keep up 
with the Linuxes regarding this or that latest shiny red button.

FWIW, and I believe it's worth a lot, on the two VM's I fiddle with 10.x on, 
I've found all of the new tools to be relatively easy to learn, well 
engineered, well maintained and [for better or worse] rapidly evolving, only 
not quite as well tested as I might like, and on that last point I can concede 
that I understand the OP's pain.

I, for one, would like to thank all of the devs at FreeBSD for creating and 
maintaining the smoothest, most flexible and overall best operating system I've 
ever had the pleasure of working with. I am very much looking forward to 
deploying 10.1 on almost every one of the production systems I maintain and I'm 
confident that when 10.x is granted that .1 badge by release engineering that I 
will confidently and smoothly be able to. I can't imagine where I'd be in a 
rigid world of only the fractured Linux fiefdoms, oligarchies and hipster 
drum-circles. Probably dead under a bridge with a needle in my arm, a gun in my 
mouth, a noose around my neck and an empty bottle of pills laying beside me.

Wait, what? Are you saying that like it's a good or a bad thing?


i have been a freebsd lover for a couple of decades, and 4.3 before

Bash makes me want to do its namesake to my own skull against a concrete

It's your job right? I presume you get paid for it and there was a 
reason you or somebody chose FreeBSD on those systems.



the linux systems update automagically and send me email telling me
what they did.


Oh, so you've never been burned by hippy magic? In that case I have some 
beans I'd like to sell you that will fix all of your problems and some 
powder that goes up your nose that will fulfill your every desire.



i value my time.


So much so that you seem to feel that bitching is a better way to spend 
it than helping would be. Lawlz.



if i did not value freebsd, i would just walk away saying nothing.  but
the community seems to be in some sort of fantasy that things are OK and
nirvana is just around the corner.  linux has matured, believe it or
not.  freebsd, ports in particular, has rotted.  and folk are voting
with their feet.


Good riddance. I hope you'll let us know how that works out for you.

Oh randy, I'm only picking on you because of your delivery, in my 
pursuit of a balanced discussion. I admit to understanding your pain and 
appreciating your valid, practical opinion and observant perspective. I, 
the folk at FreeBSD and their supporters all appreciate your input, I'm 
certain.


However I, for one, am not in a fantasy and I know the nirvana we all 
seek is not just a leisurely stroll around the nearest corner. It will 
take the hard work and perseverance of you, I and many of these far 
greater minds around us. Perhaps I'm just drunk off the koolaid and 
you're right to be headed for the lifeboats but I feel right at home and 
in good hands with the team and community here at FreeBSD.

it was not that easy for me. It simply did not want to get installed.
 
 i have been a freebsd lover for a couple of decades, and 4.3 before

I know BSD since 79 when 'my' professor brought a tape from Berkeley
along and installed the system on a PDP-11.

 that.  but in the last couple of years it has become really painful.

Bash? Just install it. I know some users of bash on FreeBSD. They do
not have complains.
 
 at least once a month, i have to do port security updates on over a

I have written me a set of scripts which do this by using portupgrade.
All I have to do is to start the script of choice. Of course, if your
memory is good, you can enter the full portupgrade command line
directly.

You can run this also automatically wasting not a single second of your
time.

Why are you then on Linux and why do you try to use FreeBSD in a
troublesome fashion?

Yeah, you must have real good feet if you want to stay with Linux. It
is sad to see how much effort they have to put into their systems just
to follow the latest trends. They do not even check if a trend will
make a change for them. FreeBSD is just FreeBSD, year for year.
