Hey everyone, I maintain devel/doxygen (sorry I didn't add my 2 cents
earlier, I've been a bit busy) and was looking at this particular thread.
I
know someone filed a PR regarding the circular dependency, stating that it
might be best to split apart doxygen so one port builds just the program
and
another port build just the documentation. I am not sure if that is the
best thing to do or not. I've been wanting to push out an update to doxygen
but this has been a stopping block for me.

It seems strange to me that doxygen would have audio dependencies, or is
doxygen supposed to work with a speech synthesizer?
What dependencies would doxygen documentation have? Anything circular?
The problem is that doxygen has a build dependancy on graphics
graphviz when building it's documentation, and when you select certain
options, you can cause a circular dependancy. See below for one
example:
audio/pulseaudio
- audio/jack
-- devel/doxygen
--- graphics/graphviz
graphics/devil
- devel/sdl12
-- audio/pulseaudio

time for my dime's worth of questions. is there any way of
building that audio/video app or plugin that works with linux?
it is from adobe and works with pc-bsd. we've got a free
version. is it flash? this is the main reason i switched
to ubuntu for my desktop. so i can watch sites like pbs.org
and npr.org. stream igages with sound. in my opinion, it
is this that stalls the broader use of all of the berkeley
distributions.

But keeping third party ports/packages updated is just to timeconsuming IMHO. Building everything from ports is ok, on a quick machine, but even on a quick machine building KDE takes a LOT of time. Waiting until the stable packages are ready takes about 2 - 3 weeks, and until then, a lot of other stuff needs to be updated. Compared to Debian GNU/Linux's apt-get update apt-get dist upgrade command, OR OpenBSD's pkg-add -u From OpenBSD's man page for pkg_add: -u Update the given pkgname(s), and anything it depends upon. If no pkgname is given, pkg_add will update all installed packages. This relies on PKG_PATH to figure out the new package names. I really think it is time for FreeBSD to make it more easy to update binary packages, like on OpenBSD. Until recent months, I was hyping the Ubuntu distro of Deb/Linux. *Everything* was push-button. Well, okay, my first upgrade was a disastrous week or three long series of do-overs. But the second upgrade (to 6.06) was push-buttons and wait until several hundred megs came across my 144k ISDL. I was eager to move up to 6.10, but the first several forum posts gave me pause. Nutshell is that you can [easily] upgrade every Long-Term Support version. But these are 2 or three years apart. And the backports are often unofficial (ya' takes yer risks). I'm still pretty happy with older Gnome and KDE, older apps. The Berkeley distros have the leading-edge versions, but at least we (FBSD) don't have an easy way of upgrading ports. I'll stick with the rock-solid stability of FreeBSD for my DNS server. I'll test things that will improve the performance of my slower servers--(tuning)--and be ready to offer ideas, even SWAGS, on upgrading. So: real work here; play/AV or mostly Audio or Ubuntu. gary Best and kind regards, Rico ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Gary Kline [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.thought.org Public Service Unix ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

But if users have slower servers and there are no current packages (i386), why not let the builds be queued? Just so you know, existing FreeBSD's servers, as you put it, are Pentium III blades clocked at 700 MHz. And we tend to keep them rather busy. 700MHz is my faster FBSD box; I've begun tuning all my boxen, but this one is still slow after 6 years. Maybe it's time to upgrade some of the P3's to P4's... ?? Ask the user community for donations, hmm? On -questions recently someone said that he didn't think it was a matter of compute power, but manpower.

I know portmaster is a bourne shell script and the portupgrade, portinstall, etc scripts are ruby based, so that's a given. I just want to know if there's a given solution that I could work with in improving the ports system and forge into a unified port/pkg management frontend (using bourne shell scripts and C), combined with the current package management tools in place (pkg_add, pkg_version, etc), as part of a Google Summer of Code proposal.
