Not sure about this. AFAIK, MAKE_ARGS are passed as command line
options to Make when the port is built. So, if passing them on
the command line works until now *and* saves them in the
persistent port options cache, it will work with portupgrade too.
what is the persistent port options cache?
The options that a port was built with are saved in /var/db/ports,
in directories of the form /var/db/ports/{portname}. This is
what I call the persistent port options cache. Persistent
because it survives reboots, upgrades of the ports tree, etc.
Cache, because it will save you the typing and the popup dialog of
the no-BATCH case.
and I'm still confused as you said yes and no to my question.
Yes, portupgrade _will_ build the port with what you put in
MAKE_ARGS.
Yes, options on the command line (i.e. those passed by portupgrade)
will affect the way make builds the port _and_ will be saved by the
ports infrastructure in /var/db/ports.
Hopefully, this was less confusing :)
Yes it was, my question now is whats the point of MAKE_ARGS when
options are saved in /var/db/ports and are used when you upgrade a
port?Arggg...
I just looked in /var/db/ports and not all the options are there,
i.e. I look for horde (it not even in there) and php4 and it says
nothing about the options I built it with, WITHOUT_MYSQL=yes
WITH_POSTGRESQL=yes, nor are apache13, postgres74, openldap22-server
in there. What really scares me about this is if I run portupgrade it
will fsck my production server up by not building the ports with the
correct options, I'm starting to feel that the only way I can trust
the ports system is if I manually upgrade all the ports by hand, I
really need some advice and pointers to docs.

If you think a bit about it, you will see it makes more sense. What is it that you download with src-all? The sources of the system. The doc-all collection downloads the sources of the documentation. aha but all docs will be updated when you do a buildworld right ? Nope. The build of the documentation is not, shall we say, self contained in the base system of FreeBSD. It requires many tools that are not part of the base system. This means buildworld cannot assume that you have all of them, so it doesn't try to build the documentation too. Look at `/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.sites.mk'. It has a huge list of sites where port distfiles are downloaded from. You can tweak this list by setting similar variables in your `/etc/make.conf' file, i.e.: MASTER_SITE_GNU?= ftp://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/gnu/%SUBDIR%/ Note the conditional assignment with ?= there. The 'make.conf' file should very rarely set things unconditionally, with FOO=bar. so basicly you dont have to worry about ports server because it will find the best server by it self ? Basically, yes. Not all the time, but that's the idea. Everything is customizable though, to allow local fixes that make more sense. This is why I set MASTER_SITE_GNU as shown above in my machines -- it makes more sense for machines installed in Greece. The ftp.ntua.gr mirror is usually very up to date and it's one of the fastest Greek FTP servers around. Putting it on the top of the MASTER_SITE_GNU list means that whenever I try to build some GNU tool, ftp.ntua.gr is the first server contacted. If that fails to locate the distfile, the usual list of servers takes over. why does cvsup not work the same way ? Because it wasn't written to do so. There is a utility in ports, sysutils/fastest_cvsup, that may help you find the fastest CVSup server at any given time :-) - Giorgos ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dick Davies wrote: O'Reilly has a really good book on LDAP LDAP System Administration - includes a chapter on how to migrate from NIS to LDAP. IMO that's one of the few bad oreilly books the orielly book is more of a cookbook, but does'nt really explain what's going on. You have a problem, and you want to solve it. I find the O'Reilly book a good guide. I didn't claim it will give you a complete understanding of the protocol or X.509 etc. But it will show you how to solve the problem at hand, and give ideas of how to exploit LDAP further. NetBSD is almost finished integrating pluggable nsswitch modules, I doubt openbsd will be far behind. No offence to the openbsd crew but if you waited for them to support something before using it on freebsd you wouldn't be running much... I think the whole idea of pam is against their fundamental philosophy, so I wouldn't expect to see this any time soon. Also, LDAP requires you to obtain Object Identifiers if you defnine new types, I haven't heard of OID that can be used for private/experimental purposes only (like the private ip address spaces). There's no need to get an OID registered (unlike IP addresses; it's not like it's routed) but it's free and they'll happily give you one if you ask. You will need to have your directory service available for the internet if you eg. want to distribute certificates - the most common use I think. And you will need OID if you want to add your own extensions to the v3 certificate. But even if not, just to make sure that your choice of OID will not clash with commonly distributed entries, it would be convenient to have a private playground, where any interference is _your_ problem. I know they will give you a branch for free if you ask, but I guess that will change if we all request such a branch. Anyway, the predefined schemes much satturates the need of most SOHO's.

Poor information in ports UPDATING file
Hi, Not sure which list I should email this to...so I apologise for the noise if this is the wrong one. There is a recent upgrade in the ports for the excellent Xfce4 port to 4.2. There is also a note in the UPDATING file as how to do this. 20050126: AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/xfce4 AUTHOR: [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you use Xorg 6.8.1: Make shure there is an /tmp/.ICE-unix with propper rights. For further informations about that, please refer to 20041229 Please update all your plugins as well when you update from 4.0.6 to 4.2. They all need recompiling to link against the new xfce libraries Maybe I am just too used to the excellent amount of detail in the UPDATING file usually but this doesn't even offer advice on how to update your plugins. Every UPDATING file entry I have found useful in the past has always had a command you could use to carry out this update plus whether you should update your port first then update the dependencies. For example: 20041231: AFFECTS: users of the linux compatibility environment AUTHOR: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The default linux_base was changed from v7 to v8. You need to update from v7 to v8 and rebuild every linux port. To update run: portupgrade -rf -o emulators/linux_base-8 emulators/linux_base In case you already use linux_base-8 you have to run: portupgrade -rf emulators/linux_base-8 It would be nice if this could be ammended to show the full details of what is required to update. I take it you upgrade the Xfce4 port and then run an upgrade on the plugins, or will just running portupgrade on everything do the trick?

I have UT2004 running in freebsd, but some of the images and player models don't show up and, while the mouse works in the menus, once I get in game, I can't do anything. Any ideas on how to fix this? It seems the keyboard doesn't work either once I'm in game except for alt-enter when windows the screen from fullscreen. It's like it's not able to access the keyboard or mouse using what ever raw access it's trying to do, but they both work elsewhere when it's just using the regular X protocol to access them. I'm using linux_base-7.1, and I don't have linux-XFree86-libs installed either (Perhaps that's not required since I'm use x.org.) And UT2004 works just fine with me. Though the performance is somewhat worse then it was at Windows, but that's probably because of the Nvidia drivers. Of course, one should not expect too much from an GeForce 4 MX440 :) When I was using linux_base-7 I had several linux programs missing certain versions of libstdc++ libraries. The installed version was something like libstdc++.so.3 and the program needed something like libstdc++.so.9. Since I installed linux_base-rh-9, they now run, though UT2004 has problems in-game. Before I upgraded linux_base, it didn't even start. Also, linux-XFree86-libs isn't needed for linux_base-7, there already part of it, but they seperated it out for rh-9 I guess. And UT2004 runs just fine in Linux with my GeForce4 MX440 and since Doom 3 runs pretty good in both linux and freebsd with my geforce 4, I'd say the nvidia drivers are probably pretty good.

disklabel missing on a raid-5
Hi, I'm having a serious problem with one of my freebsd 4.6-R box. I have always used Freebsd to run my database servers and I've never had such a problem. If anyone knows the solution to my problem below, please let me know because I have some really important data that I badly need. Short story: Someone booted a database server by accident, it won't boot up and got hang up right after post (where the /|\ spinning supposedly begins) so that person booted it again, and again. (three times in total I think). Anyway, since it won't boot up at all, I've decided to install a IDE HD with Freebsd 4.6 on it, boot up the server and attempt to retrieve the database backups from the messed-up raid-5 HDDS that I stored in a /usr/home/backup folder. dmesg says: da0 at asr0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: ADAPTEC RAID-5 380E Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device da0: Tagged Queueing Enabled da0: 70006MB (143372288 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 8924C) Looks good. So I go #mount /dev/da0s1 /mnt It returns: Jan 28 23:22:31 /kernel: da0: cannot find label (no disk label) Jan 28 23:22:31 /kernel: da0s1: cannot find label (no disk label) And I am able to cd to mnt and read everything, but /usr and /var (that's where the data reside) are empty. Then I tried: #fdisk da0 and it returns *** Working on device /dev/da0 *** parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=8924 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=8924 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 63, size 143363997 (70001 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1; end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63 The data for partition 2 is: UNUSED The data for partition 3 is: UNUSED The data for partition 4 is: UNUSED So I tried: # disklabel da0s1 disklabel: ioctl DIOCGDINFO: Invalid argument # disklabel da0 disklabel: ioctl DIOCGDINFO: Invalid argument Is my disklabel missing, and that's why the raid-5 HDDs won't boot up and won't let me mount '/usr' and '/var'? Since the etc directory is accessible I can even access the old '/etc/fstab' and '/etc/disktab', would that help? All I need is to be able to mount /usr and /var and copy the data out to my IDE HD, whether the Raid-5 sys can ever boot up again is secondary. Here's '/etc/fstab' (well '/mnt/etc/fstab'): /dev/da0s1b noneswapsw 0 0 /dev/da0s1a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/da0s1f /usrufs rw 2 2 /dev/da0s1e /varufs rw 2 2 /dev/da0s1g /wwwufs rw 2 2 /dev/acd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 proc/proc procfs rw 0 0 Also, as a freaked out person desperatly trying to restore the data I tried to mount the slices. I tried: #mount /dev/da0s1f /mnt and it returns mount: /dev/da0s1f on /mnt: incorrect super block If anybody has any idea on how that can be done, please let me know; If any extra info is needed, please let me know and I'll provide them as much as possible.

I honestly feel pity for the Windows using friends I have in cases like this. A typical example is when they start writing File Renamers, to mass rename collections of files (i.e. mp3 audio) and start being bitten by bugs in the renamer itself. Another typical example is what I call the robo-user. A person who starts training his fingers and/or brain to repeatedly hit the same sequence of keys in the keyboard, in an effort to rename dozens of files within Explorer. Writing shell scripts to do the job is not necessarily easier, since you have to learn the tools that are available and learn all about the ways they can be glued together, before becoming *really* productive. It pays a thousand times back though, when you start doing in a couple of lines what would take hours of error-prone, manual labor. This is why I have been heard saying: Unix is for lazy people.

The installed version was something like libstdc++.so.3 and the program needed something like libstdc++.so.9. Since I installed linux_base-rh-9, they now run, though UT2004 has problems in-game. Before I upgraded linux_base, it didn't even start. Also, linux-XFree86-libs isn't needed for linux_base-7, there already part of it, but they seperated it out for rh-9 I guess. And UT2004 runs just fine in Linux with my GeForce4 MX440 and since Doom 3 runs pretty good in both linux and freebsd with my geforce 4, I'd say the nvidia drivers are probably pretty good.

Re: modify existing partitions - newbie
# raw part, don't edit d: 41943040 419430404.2BSD 2048 16384 28552 Is it the correct way to delete the partitions? First guess is not having permission. It should be done in single user mode. Second guess is the partition you want to delete is mounted. I have never tried to modify partitions on the disk with root on it, so maybe that presents special problems. You may need to boot from something else - live CD for example. Now I tried to create new partitions on the free space of the existing slice in single mode, but I am getting the same error as 'unable to write data on ad0' . I am doing this in root user only. What are all the permissions should I have for this? Or please suggest me to create a partition in another way? As I say, I have never tried to modify partitions on the root/boot disk currently being used. I suspect that, since the root partition of that disk is mounted, you will not be able to write in the label even for other not-currently mounted partitions on that disk. You may have to boot from some other device, either another disk or a live CD or fixit floppy in order to work on that particular disk label.

Re: How does FreeBSD access NetBSD, OpenBSD?
I have FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD on the same hard drive of my system. How can I mount the NetBSD or OpenBSD partitions from FreeBSD? Slice 1 - Ext3fs for data between linux/bsd Slice 2 - OpenBSD slice with 4 ufs partitions and swap (a,b,e,f,g) Slice 3 - FreeBSD slice with 4 ufs partitions and swap (a,b,d,e,f) Slice 4 - Extended slice composed of: Slice 5 - NetBSD slice with 4 ufs partitions and swap (a,b,e,f,g) Slice 6 - Unformatted as of yet. Hmmm, First thing I see is that only 4 slices are allowed on a drive. FreeBSD is, of course running fine, but I can't see any of the other slices/partitions on the drive including the ext3fs partition. $ ls /dev/ad1* /dev/ad1/dev/ad1s3 /dev/ad1s3c /dev/ad1s3f /dev/ad1s6 /dev/ad1s1 /dev/ad1s3a /dev/ad1s3d /dev/ad1s4 /dev/ad1s2 /dev/ad1s3b /dev/ad1s3e /dev/ad1s5 I can seem to access all the linux partitions on my first drive ad0, but that drive is only linux so there are no complex partitions in slices like on ad1.

I get sound via it, but it is far from being good, not to mention perfect... With the stereo output I'm fine, I can live without the surround capabilities of the card. But only if the quality of the stereo playback was good - and belive me - it isn't. The basses are awful and it is not caused by some mixer settings, of that I'm certain. If fact the basses are almost missing and the high frequences heavily distorted. I heard that the opensound driver can help but it does not recognize my audio... So I'm asking is there someone using sound device same as mine while getting decent output or should I buy some high quality sound card such as Audigy 2 for which I know there are some nice drivers. And one more question regarding the sound - if I get an Audigy 2 sound card will I get the 6.1 surround or I will still be stuck with stereo. I thank you in advance for your responses.

magneto-optical drives
Hi all. I am not sure whether it is the right thread for my kind of question. If it isn't please let me know where to post it. I was wondering if any of the people on this list were able to mount and read (don't need writing) successfully Maxtor magneto-optical drives, or any magneto-optical drive for that matter. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Setting up a syslog server to store Fortigate log files
I have a Fortigate firewall which allows me to direct the logs to a remote host (syslog server). I am running FreeBSD 4.9R -- do I simply point my firewall to the IP of my server and the logs will automagically appear in /var/log? The Fortigate is asking for the IP, port, and if I want to store as CSV (I know; personal preference; not important).

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2004/09/19 02:40:48 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for [EMAIL PROTECTED]). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda

The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information.

cdcontrol fails
Hello FreeBSD friends. I have been learning 5.3 FreeBSD on an old pentium 75 box on the last weeks. The main target for this system is to have a light weight window manager to surf the Internet and read emails. I have even compiled the kernel to include sound drivers. The system works pretty well with the fluxbox wm, links and dillo WEB browsers, and sylpheed for email. This system is the mix result of old hardware I have received from friends, and even a CD-Writer and a spare 4GB hard disk I got from my main computer (as I bought a DVD writer and have another 40GB drive). I has been a great experience to get things working, and learning at the same time. The great problem is that the machine is very slow for compiling :-( Well, the system has got a CD-R and a CD-RW unit. The CD-R unit is an old unit by Goldstar (I do not know what speed it is) and is placed as master. The CD-RW unit is a LG model 3 years old and is s slave. I tried to listen some music CD on the CD-R drive and got the following error messages: #cdcontrol -v -f /dev/acd0 play 1 acd0:FAILURE - PLAY_MSF ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x21 ascq=0x00 error=4ABORTED dmesg line for the drive at boot time is: acd0 CDROM GCD-R540C/1.01 at ata1-master BIOSPIO The CD-RW drive works nicely with cdcontrol. If you need more information, I will be pleased to help. Even if you need the CD-R unit for development, it is yours. Thanks.

The doc-all collection downloads the sources of the documentation. aha but all docs will be updated when you do a buildworld right ? Nope. The build of the documentation is not, shall we say, self contained in the base system of FreeBSD. It requires many tools that are not part of the base system. This means buildworld cannot assume that you have all of them, so it doesn't try to build the documentation too. Look at `/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.sites.mk'. It has a huge list of sites where port distfiles are downloaded from. You can tweak this list by setting similar variables in your `/etc/make.conf' file, i.e.: MASTER_SITE_GNU?= ftp://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/gnu/%SUBDIR%/ Note the conditional assignment with ?= there. The 'make.conf' file should very rarely set things unconditionally, with FOO=bar. so basicly you dont have to worry about ports server because it will find the best server by it self ? Basically, yes. Not all the time, but that's the idea. Everything is customizable though, to allow local fixes that make more sense. This is why I set MASTER_SITE_GNU as shown above in my machines -- it makes more sense for machines installed in Greece. The ftp.ntua.gr mirror is usually very up to date and it's one of the fastest Greek FTP servers around. Putting it on the top of the MASTER_SITE_GNU list means that whenever I try to build some GNU tool, ftp.ntua.gr is the first server contacted. If that fails to locate the distfile, the usual list of servers takes over. why does cvsup not work the same way ? Because it wasn't written to do so. There is a utility in ports, sysutils/fastest_cvsup, that may help you find the fastest CVSup server at any given time :-) - Giorgos ok thx :) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Think of a complex computer program that depends on a number of modules. With the refuse, you have removed some modules that the program needs to build a complete, new version. Since all you are refusing is the structure files and patches, you really don't save that much space. FWIW, if you use fetchindex to download a new INDEX, you don't have to spend a lot of resources building a new index. I timed make fetchindex and found the following. #time make fetchindex INDEX.bz2 100% of 612 kB 83 kBps 0.976u 0.048s 0:08.87 11.3% 146+4723k 1+52io 0pf+0w The 8.87 seconds included the time required to download and unbzip2 INDEX.bz2 into INDEX.
