My experience (many, many years) says that the question is something different: How much $$$ do you need to produce (compile) a FreeBSD version??? 300, 500, 5000??? Money talks.

Trying to Make an Alias Execute a Perl Script
I have a couple of entries in my /etc/mail/aliases that manipulate the contents
of an e-mail message. For example,
file: | cat /home/user/file.incoming
receives an e-mail message and writes it to the hard drive. Another example:
format: | sed 's/^.$/~~/g' | sed 's/^$/~~/g' | tr -s ' ' ' ' | fmt 63 64
| sed 's/^ *//g' | tr '~' '\\012\' | mail user
receives a message, reformats the contents, and sends the reformatted material
back to me by e-mail.
I'm trying to create a new alias that will receive an e-mail message, use a
Perl command to scan for for all e-mail addresses, and return a list of any
e-mail addresses found to me by e-mail.
This little Perl command does a great job of identifying e-mail addresses and
producing a list of them:
perl -wne 'while(/[\S\.]+@[\S\.]+\w+/g){print $\n}'
and I can use this from the command line these ways to extract e-mail addresses
from a file:
perl -wne 'while(/[\S\.]+@[\S\.]+\w+/g){print $\n}' datafile
perl -wne 'while(/[\S\.]+@[\S\.]+\w+/g){print $\n}' datafile
cat datafile | perl -wne 'while(/[\S\.]+@[\S\.]+\w+/g){print $\n}'
I've tried this entry in my /etc/mail/aliases file, but it returns an empty
e-mail messages:
extract: | perl -wne 'while(/[\S\.]+@[\S\.]+\w+/g){print $\n}' | mail
user
I tried modifying it to create a datafile and then examine the datafile:
extract: | cat datafile | perl -wne 'while(/[\S\.]+@[\S\.]+\w+/g){print
$\n}' datafile | mail user
but it is still returning an empty e-mail message rather than a list of e-mail
addresses.
What am I overlooking?

Why does printf(9) hang network?
Why would doing a printf(9) in a device driver (usb, firewire, probably
others) cause an obscenely long lockout on
/usr/src/sys/kern/uipc_sockbuf.c:148 (sx:so_rcv_sx) ?
Printf(9) alone isn't the problem, adding printfs to chown(2) does not
cause the problem, but printfs from device drivers do.
Grep says that uipc_sockbuf.c is the only file that locks/unlocks sb_sx.
The device drivers and printf don't even know that sb_sx exists.

nedit problem
Hello, After updating all ports on 8.1-RELEASE, nedit has a problem. The right mouse button works ok in the toolbar but if it is pressed in the text area, for example to copy a block of text, the cursor changes shape and the X session becomes completely locked up. I have to stop X and restart it. I have tried to deinstall nedit and rebuild it but this didn't help. It is nedit-5.5 with Motif 2.2.3. Also, when nedit is started the following warnings are given: Cannot convert string -*-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-iso8859-1 to type FontStruct Cannot convert string -*-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-iso8859-1 to type FontStruct Cannot convert string -*-helvetica-medium-o-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-iso8859-1 to type FontStruct Cannot convert string -*-courier-medium-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-iso8859-1 to type FontStruct Cannot convert string -*-courier-bold-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-iso8859-1 to type FontStruct Cannot convert string -*-courier-medium-o-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-iso8859-1 to type FontStruct These warnings have been happening for some time but nedit otherwise has been working ok until the port update. xpdf gives similar warnings but seems to work ok.

8.2 prerelease, virtualbox, and windows guests that freeze...
All, I have a laptop running 8.2-prerelease GENERIC. I have virtualbox ose 3.2.12 from ports (and kmod as well). I've only installed windows guests in vbox. I've installed windows 2008 server 64, windows vista 64bit, and windows 7 32bit. I have the vbox hdd images on an NTFS filesystem mounted using fuse. My box is a dual boot machine between FreeBSD and Windows. My desire is to be able to utilize the same virtual machine in vbox on both my Windows and FreeBSD installations. I can successfully utilize the virtuals in vbox (same version) in Windows. However when I utilize any of the virtual machines in FreeBSD, they run for several minutes and eventually freeze. Freeze may not necessarily be the correct term. All windows processes on the virtual machine begin to die. First one process, then another, then all. Hard to explain, which may not help my cause here. But, most important fact... in Windows they work fine... under FreeBSD they run for a while and then cease to run. When the VM is good and dead, it is always dead with the little vbox virtual hard disk LED lit up (no idea if that is important). Previously, they would run for a *very* short time. seconds? minutes? and then die (sometimes I couldn't login). I disabled sound support and now they run for 10-15 minutes. Had one run for an hour or two the other day, but can't reproduce that. Usually 10-15 minutes max. Network works fine inside the virtual. I'm new to VirtualBox on FreeBSD. I've used it a bit on Windows with good results. I did try a windows guest on a non fuse filesystem just to rule that out, but had same issue. What else could I provide that might allow someone to point me in the right direction here? Thanks. -- Regards, Eric signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
