Re: devel/boost -- where is tools/build/v2?
I'm trying to walk through the tutorial of Boost.Python (the devel/boost-python port)... and unless I'm running out of coffe right now, it seems as if the boost port is not fully installed/specified!

A ports update may try to update your patched version to the latest. Its possible to 'hold' a port from updating.

He's also discovered many of the popular clients have bugs, and are unable to work (or at least have issues) with an IMAP server that goes purely by the rules. He refused to break his software to work around bugs on the client side, but ultimately compromised by writing in work-arounds that you can enable in the config file. You can enable them all if you like. Which is a really dumb attitude since the dovecot developer was not the author of the IMAP standard and probably was in diapers when the standard was first written: I agree with your sentiment that, who can use a server that no client can connect to? However, that being said, why write a standard you don't intend to adhere too? It's a crying shame that folks write standards for things like IMAP and e-mail client providers don't follow them. I wished more people were like this fellow who writes Dovecot! If more people were strict about server interfaces, then perhaps more vendors would write their code to the standard instead of those who write the standards enabling poor compliance by dumbing down their servers. It's a chicken and egg problem. There's nothing wrong with writing an extremely strict standard. The issue is the implementation. If your server implementation is so strict that most clients have difficulty, then users will find something else and your standard will end up on the dustbin. It's better to start out with a strict standard and a forgiving server implementation, then as it falls into mainstream use, work with the client developers to correct their stuff. You've effectively described dovecot here. Its codebase is perhaps designed to be very strict, however the same codebase also includes configurable 'workarounds' (enabled by default in many distros) for clients that are not up to spec. They're trivial to toggle and well documented. So, this meets both criteria that it will just work with clients now, and the clients themselves could theoretically (good luck with Outlook) fix their code in the future. As far as I'm concerned, it's a fairly ideal environment, and I'm glad the developer has gone to the trouble to 1) stick to standards in the core code and 2) made a point of documenting and providing workarounds for buggy clients. I personally use dovecot (+postfix) with great success. Dovecot is modern, featureful, well documented, and its SASL impementation is particularly useful with postfix. I've had no difficulty with clients not being able to connect. We don't want to end up like Microsoft - which writes very lax and contradictory standards, then makes up strict implementations. Then every new release of their stuff breaks things. Ted No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Panic on boot
Hello; I have had an AMD64 754 system that I have 64 bit SCSI card and two 15k rpm SCSI drives. It has been running fine with FreeBSD v 6.0 for about two years now. I have several things I wanted to change and reconfigure, software wise, and hardware wise. The first was a new case which I got today. I shut down the system, put everything in the new case and booted. It booted without any complaint. I got the V6.2 install cd and put it in. The system froze during boot process after an entry for mpt 0. I turned off the power and tried rebooting into the install cd. This time it made it to sysinstall and went through slice and partitioning and was in the process of installing the base system and it froze again, no error messaged to console. I rebooted and started again. The second time I got all the way through the install process. Now on reboot the system is panicking just after the line mtp0 hidden device members(6) The error is: Fatal Trap 12 (the screen does not persist long enough to transcribe it all.) Three tries, the same thing in the same place in the boot process. does this mean the scsi drives or card is going bad? (I nope not) the card is LSI Logic 64 bit card (installed in a standard PCI slot but has been working with an inch of the card hanging off the end of the slot. I only have one internal bus available this way, but that is all I need.

missing shared lib...??
Can anybody explain what causes xmms to give me this output:: Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to load module libgnomebreakpad.so: Shared object libgnomebreakpad.so not found, required by xmms and then to proceed to work very well? I thought xmms was' window-manager agnostic, yet evidently it's looking for *something* gnome. Anybody? (Ideally, I'd like xmms to be able to play ANYTHING from realauiodio to windoze to mp4 But would be happy to just get rid of this stderr output. tia, gentlemen, gary -- Gary Kline [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
