pkg_add problems after upgrading to 9.1-RELEASE and a fix
Hi all, yesterday i updated my server to 9.1-RELEASE from 8.3. After that, while recompiling the ports and packages i get a lot off errors trying to get 9.1-RELESASE packages and all recompiled from ports. The problem is that there's no 9.1-RELEASE directory in ftp.freebsd.org server. I solved it after changing the path to fetch from 9-STABLE instead. A better fix i think it's to add that directory or make a ln to stable. The url where add the fault directory is: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/ the fault directoy is : ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9.1-release/ An example of the error is: root@camibar:/usr/ports/www # pkg_add -r zen-cart Error: Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9.1-release/Latest/zen-cart.tbz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) pkg_add: unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9.1-release/Latest/zen-cart.tbz' by URL I made the recompilation of ports with portmaster as noted in 'man portmaster' with this options (from memory, it's not a cp) #portmaster -P -R -D `cat /root/installed_ports_list` Thanks In Advance --- --- Eduardo Morras emorr...@yahoo.es ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Problem with GPA after updating
FreeBSD-8.3 STABLE gpg (GnuPG) 2.0.19 libgcrypt 1.5.0 gpa 0.9.3 When attempting to run 'gpa', I am greeted with an error message. The message can be viewed here: http://www.seibercom.net/logs/gpa_error.png It seems to indicate that there is a problem with the GPG library returning an unexpected value. I have tried rebuilding 'gnupg', 'gpgme' and 'gpa'. Is there something else I should be looking into?

Re: Fun Scripting Problem

I know how to do this in Python, but I really want to do it in
straight Bourne shell. I have some ideas, but I thought I'd
give you folks a crack at this Big Fun:
a) You have a directory of files - say they're logs - generated
at nondeterministic intervals. You may get more than one a day,
more than one a month, none, or hundreds.
b) To conserve space, you want to keep the last file generated
in any given month (the archive goes back for an unspecified
number of years), and delete all the files generated prior to
that last file in that same month.
c) Bonus points if the problem is solved generally for either files
or directories generated as described above.
These are not actually logs, and no, I don't think logrotate can
do this ... or can it?
You can try using stat/date to print the month in which each file was
modified, e.g:
freefall:/home/keramida$ stat -f '%m %N' prs.tar.bz2
1359910210 prs.tar.bz2
freefall:/home/keramida$ date -f '%s' -j '1359910210' '+%Y-%m'
2013-02
Having the mtime of the file in seconds since the epoch (1359910210)
should be easy to sort through, e.g. you can find the last modification
time with a 'sort -n | tail -1' pipe:
freefall:/home/keramida/w/doc-head/el_GR.ISO8859-7/share$ touch
xml/glossary.ent
freefall:/home/keramida/w/doc-head/el_GR.ISO8859-7/share$ find xml -exec
stat -f '%m %N' {} +
1360060289 xml
1360060288 xml/navibar.l10n.ent
1360060288 xml/trademarks.ent
1360060288 xml/libcommon.xsl
1360060288 xml/header.l10n.ent
= 1360942284 xml/glossary.ent
1360060289 xml/freebsd.dsl
1360060289 xml/teams.ent
1360060289 xml/freebsd.ent

1360060289 xml/mailing-lists.ent

freefall:/home/keramida/w/doc-head/el_GR.ISO8859-7/share$ find xml -exec
stat -f '%m %N' {} + | sort -n | tail -1
1360942284 xml/glossary.ent
Then you can convert the epoch-based times to '%Y-%m' timestamps in a
loop, e.g.:
freefall:/home/keramida/w/doc-head/el_GR.ISO8859-7/share$ find xml \
-exec stat -f '%m %N' {} + | while read mtime fname ; do
echo ${mtime} $( date -f '%s' -j ${mtime} '+%Y-%m' ) ${fname}
done

1360060288 2013-02 xml/navibar.l10n.ent
1360060288 2013-02 xml/trademarks.ent
1360060288 2013-02 xml/libcommon.xsl
1360060288 2013-02 xml/header.l10n.ent
1360942284 2013-02 xml/glossary.ent
1360060289 2013-02 xml/freebsd.dsl

1360060289 2013-02 xml/mailing-lists.ent
1360060289 2013-02 xml/newsgroups.ent
1360060289 2013-02 xml/translators.ent
1360060289 2013-02 xml/catalog.xml
1360060289 2013-02 xml/entities.ent
1360060289 2013-02 xml/catalog
1360060289 2013-02 xml/urls.ent
Having the mtime in seconds as the first column is still conducive to
sorting / tail:
freefall:/home/keramida/w/doc-head/el_GR.ISO8859-7/share$ find xml \
-exec stat -f '%m %N' {} + | while read mtime fname ; do
echo ${mtime} $( date -f '%s' -j ${mtime} '+%Y-%m' ) ${fname};
done | sort -n | tail -1
1360942284 2013-02 xml/glossary.ent
From that point it should be trivial to select all files whose timestamp
is smaller than or equal to 1360942284 - one month of seconds.

Re: vmstat -w not honored
Fleuriot Damien m...@my.gd writes: I'm running 8.3-STABLE and apparently, vmstat won't honor both -i (interrupts) and -w (repeat display every wait delay seconds) flags at the same time. The problem also arises with -z. The manual doesn't mention these flags being incompatible with -w. They are. And with -c as well. *Only* the actual VM-related information display supports the looping. [The full set of flags incompatible with w and c is: f, i, m, s, z. Anyone knows if this is intended behavior ? A better question would be whether it would actually be useful to change. In theory, other display routines could be modified to repeat. But their output formats would have to change, to fit all of the output on a single line. That would be a lot less readable for humans. If you've got an idea for what it could look like, I'd be happy to implement it for you. It would also have to figure out what the results would be if multiple kinds of output (e.g., interrupt counts *and* virtual memory) were specified. For the one-shot types of output, you can get more than one in a single command. I wanna make sure before filling a PR, either to get this fixed or the man pages adjusted.
