Re: net/freeradius3 maintainer is ignoring the port (timeout)

2017-11-07 Thread Ryan Steinmetz


On (11/06/17 22:11), John W. O'Brien wrote:

Hello FreeBSD ports,

The maintainer of net/freeradius3 is unresponsive on two open bugs, both
with proposed patches.


John,

I was reviewing these two issues tonight and, if I am not mistaken, the 
IDN issue was resolved in a commit on 7/17/17:

https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/net/freeradius3/pkg-plist?r1=442287=446076


I also believe that the Kerberos issue was resolved on 4/1/16:
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/net/freeradius3/Makefile?r1=412347=412348;

Can you please verify your ports tree is current (you should see 
FreeRADIUS 3.0.15) and then confirm/deny?



Thanks!
-r



In one case [0], the submitter responded to feedback on 2016-02-03,
there has been no further action on the part of the maintainer, and the
port remains broken w.r.t. Kerberos.

In the other case [1], there was already one maintainer timeout (5 mo as
of 2016-07-17). The bug was reassigned to the maintainer on 2017-08-18,
and there has been no further action.

I would appreciate it if somebody could give these bugs the attention
they need.

Also, I ask that if the maintainer is unable or unwilling to attend to
reported problems, that the port be released so that others could more
easily work to improve it.

Regards,
John

FWIW Firefox has always leaked memory like water through a sieve.
As a result, no matter how many resources I have on any given
system. I can't leave FF open for any length of time, w/o having
to restart it; else system starts swapping until all resources are
exhausted; then panic && reboot.

What is the best way to maintain local ports tree changes?

I am building packages in poudriere, 4 different sets for 2 archs (8
sets in total).

I have some local ports and some changes to official ports. Now we are
planing to do some small changes in ports/Mk too.


I would advise against patching the framework directly, most things are
configurable, what problems do you have with ports/Mk ?


For example I would like to rip of some lines from Mk/Uses/php.mk

Some time ago when etc/php/extensions.ini was split in to many pieces 
the following messages was introduced for each and every PHP extension 
installed / upgraded


## {{{ message

Message from php56-filter-5.6.32:


The following line has been added to your 
/usr/local/etc/php/ext-20-filter.ini

configuration file to automatically load the installed extension:

extension=filter.so
## }}} message

It is really annoying to have terminal scrolled 300 lines just to show 
me this.

I understand it was useful for somebody for transition period but now...?


Are you aware of the Mk/bsd.local.mk file that is there to allow you to
not change the other files ?


I am not aware of Mk/bsd.local.mk but I think it will not allow me to 
modify behaviour of Mk/Uses/php.mk



As for the ports, you can also add a Makefile.local that will be parsed
after the main Makefile, it may help you depending on what you change in
existing ports.


I have small patches for some ports like ports-mgmt/pkg (I submitted it 
few years ago without any attention).
We need to keep sysutils/tmux on version 2.3 because newer versions are 
buggy (tmux author said it is feature and refuse to restore old 
behaviour - I also posted in FreeBSD mailing lists about this issue)
We are patching benchmarks/sysbench to use vim-lite as dependency 
instead of full Vim:

BUILD_DEPENDS=  xxd:editors/vim-lite

Those are just examples why I would like to have some small patches 
applied to ports tree after sync with official ports tree but do not 
want to use local category for each of this modification.


I found ports-mgmt/portshaker - is it right tool for my use case?

ports depending on python

2017-11-07 Thread blubee blubeeme
I am having some real tough time building this port that requires python
modules.

Is there anyone in here willing to help me debug this issue?

Whenever I add:
USE_GNOME py3gobject3

to my port it tries to build lib-mesa with python2 instead of python3 so
the build fails.

I need those py3gobject3 introspection bindings though.

Anyone have some time to assist me with this?

The first thing to do is update FreeBSD, since 8.4 is long past end-of-life.  
Oldest supported version is 10.4, better to install FreeBSD 11.1 or STABLE, or 
HEAD.

If updating from source, it may require several stages, since I don't think you 
can directly upgrade from 8.4 to 11.x or HEAD.

Ports framework does not support past-EOL versions of FreeBSD.
