Welcome! :)
yes and no :P I like portsnap. faster.
For my ports, i run this script ( ~/bin/update_ports.sh)
#!/bin/sh
sudo portsnap fetch sudo portsnap update

( sudo is the port security/sudo and it allows for fine grained control
root-access to certain commands only )
There are 2 ports that will help you with management of your ports/packages -
ports-mgmt/portupgrade and ports-mgmt/portmaster ( which
means /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portupgrade/ , etc... ) - they can tell you what
needs updating,etc (can't remember if it is in the handbook...)
Anyway, for my src tree:
1) my /etc/make.conf has :
[...]
SUP_UPDATE=YES
SUP=/usr/bin/csup
SUPFLAGS=-g -L 2 -P m
SUPFILE=/usr/local/etc/standard-supfile
NO_PORTSUPDATE=true
[...]
-
the NO_PORTSUPDATE=true is so the std supfile doesn't pull in ports too. (maybe
i don't need it anymore, but it really doesn't break anything).
The /usr/local/etc/standard-supfile is :
*default host=cvsup5.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
## next line can have a date to peg src tree to a particular date :
date=2007.12.05.01.00.00
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_7
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
src-all
--
and to update,
cd /usr/src sudo make update
Mind you, I am tracking STABLE. and use this because i have a custom kernel
(just because i can :P ). For those of my machines which use GENERIC,i just use
freebsd-update as explained by Giorgios already.
Any issues, just shoot more emails :)
Have fun!

In cvs mode, the client does not simply checkout the latest version of the files from the repository, instead it retrieves the ,v files that make up the whole repository. Effectively this means you are creating a local copy of the repository, while in checkout mode you just get the latest revision of every file. CVS mode is mostly necessary if you wish to have quick access to all versions of a file (and the revision history) and mostly useful for developers. In other cases (for example, to update your ports tree) checkout mode is sufficient. And now, here is the catch: Many people need to use checkout mode often, so csup was created and added to the base system. Csup is a rewrite (in C) of the well know cvsup utility (that exists in ports). But csup *does not* support cvs mode. So if you are trying to use a supfile that operates in cvs mode, you will get the Client only supports checkout mode If you really need to use a cvs mode supfile, you will need to pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui (or build it from ports) and then use the cvsup command instead of csup. A cvs mode supfile contains the line: default release = cvs while in a simple checkout supfile, this line also contains a tag, e.g. (my ports supfile): default release = cvs tag=. The tag simply requests a particular revision of the files (a checkout), and in the case of . it simply means the latest revision (head) You can get a nice description of all options in the Handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: xampp under FreeBSD
well, brandelf is used to mark which ABI you want to use in order to run the binary, so the command you show isn't going to work. I guess I don't understand the need to use XAMPP when every part is fully supported via ports. My suggestion is to follow one of the many HOWTO guides for setting up Apache/PHP/MySQL for FreeBSD you can find via google. Even if you got everything working under linux_base I wouldn't be surprised that more issues would come up, let alone keeping your server secure at the same time.

Multicast routing howto?
I've put together a router for work - it's a 7-Stable box, with 3 dual-port NICs in it. It's in use by our test/dev folks, and I've been asked to enable/configure multicast on it. It has one port on the production LAN (192.168.123.0/24), and the other 5 on the test/dev networks (10.0.0.0/24, 1.0/24, 2.0/24, 3.0/24 and 4.0/24). Obviously, we're only running IPv4, and it's working just fine with the static routes I've set up.

Well, changing couple of headers and structs will probably solve the thing, but I would like to make it SMP aware.

Re: setting the other end's TCP segment size
Is there a simple way for a FreeBSD system to cause its peer to use a transmit segment size of, say, 640 bytes -- so that the peer will never try to send a packet larger than that? I'm trying to get around a network packet-size problem. In case it matters, the other end is SunOS 4.1.1 on a sun3, and I've been unable to find a way to limit its packet size directly. ... Each tcp conversation can have it's own size set along with a bunch of other params. Good point. The TCP_MAXSEG can reduce the maximum segment size for a single TCP connection to something smaller than the interface MTU :) That would be OK, provided I could somehow arrange for it to apply to all conversations with this particular destination (which is what the next item seems to do :) Just adding that MTU can be set per destination with the help of route(8) and the -mtu modifier. That would be better than setting the local mtu -- which has been causing other problems although it takes care of the original -- and it is a better match to the physical situation. (The culprit is neither the Sun nor the FreeBSD system, but the physical link between the Sun and the hub.) What I haven't been able to come up with is a way of making such a setting permanent. If I've communicated with the Sun recently enough, netstat -r -W reports a line like this (some spaces removed, for length, and I've no longer got xl0's mtu set low) Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Mtu Netif Expire 192.168.200.3 08:00:20:00:a7:a6 UHLW 1 34 1500 xl0 1184 Now if I do # route change 192.168.200.3 -lock -mtu 640 the mtu column changes to 640 and it works fine, but only until the routing entry expires. Adding -static makes no difference -- the entry still expires and loses the mtu specification. I've been unable to come up with a route command that will *create* an entry like that (vs modifying an existing one), nor that will transform a transient entry into a permanent one. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

When I went back to a standard 80x25 mode, screensaver works. Is this normal behaviour? Apparently it is .. My kernel conf looks like this (relevant part only): # VGA device vga # VGA video card driver # Vesa support and options options VESA# VESA support (man syscons) options SC_PIXEL_MODE # SC Screen Resolution (man syscons) options SC_KERNEL_CONS_ATTR=(FG_LIGHTRED|BG_BLACK) # Kernel message will be printed red on black # Splash and ScreenSaver support device splash # Splash screen and screen saver support # syscons is the default console driver, resembling an SCO console device sc on /etc/rc.d allscreens_flags=MODE_280 On that scenario, the only working screensaver seems to be logo_saver ... the rest of the screensavers don't work.

I like to be able to see the flash video but all it does is freeze I can't seem to get linux-flashplugin7 anymore due to the restricted status. Flashplugin9 locks up also, which we all know already. I have heard gnash doesnt do much better... Anyone have a solution that works halfway? I just installed the HEAD version of Gnash today, and I must say, it's working much, much better than the official release version (0.8.3). Sites that malfunctioned before are now displaying properly at last! maybe the gnash-devel port should be updated Sam Fourman Jr. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Printing with lpd
Hello I'm playing around with lpd. My setup: a FreeBSD 7.0 server and a attached HP LaserJet 2840N (connected via ethernet), my /etc/printcap: hplj2840|lp|Hewlett Packard LaserJet 2840C:\ :sh:\ :lp=:rm=hplj2840:rp=raw:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hplj2840:\ :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\ :if=/usr/local/libexec/if-simple: and if-simple: /usr/local/bin/recode latin1..ibmpc The prints are ok so fare (incl. the german umlauts). If I print text mails out from mutt the seems ok too. But if the mails has some incorrect wrapped lines ( 72 caracters) the lines are not wrapped on the output. What do I worng here?
