Re: QPL vs GPL for QT and derivatives
On Tue, 3 May 2005 03:16:17 +0200 Danny Pansters [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: QT and derivs have either the GPL (2) or QPL license but we have and use the GPL one. First question: do they differ in distribution, eg x11-gpl versus the qpl version? I never tried but I'm sure someone did/knows/asked. No, it's what the developer chooses. If you're going to develop a closed source app like Opera you have you purchase a license. If you intend to write a GPL'd app then you abide by the GPL, and if you want to write a BSDL'd program you abide by the QPL. The source code is the same. Second question: if they are the same source wise, the QPL seems a lot more BSD-like: it basically says: can use if not commercial without disclosing source, should one want to. In essence any BSD app under QT should live happily under that, the burden is on the person who would want to use that code next _and_ it could be GPL'ed at any time if she wants to, with the original being left QPL'ed which for us basically means BSD'ed as long as not commercial (and it's not like the fees will starve you if you want them). Yes, you cannot take a BSDL'd QT app and close the source without buying a QT license. WRT licensing, if your code is going to be BSD you have no choice but use the QPL version, since the GPL one would force you to release your code under the GPL as well. Another interesting point, and something some GPL advocates fail to understand a lot of times, is that you cannot relicense code you didn't write. If a GPL zealot takes a BSD app and tries to 'save it' by releasing a derivative under the GPL, only his modifications will be under said license, the original (C) and license still remain. Third: if they are not the same source wise, does anyone have any idea if it's a huge leap and perhaps (implied) a regression, in that case it's likely out of the question for practical reasons alone. The source code is the same. Thus I'm wondering, are there technical problems or philosophical ones with using the QPL rather than GPL with qt? Perhaps it just never came up, or people don't find it important. I personally think the QPL is rather fair and generous. From a BSDL standpoint it may be preferred over GPL2 (If GPL3 gets as bad as some fear it will never be widespread adapted, we shouldn't worry about GPL3 IMHO, and neither will it be so bad). What are your opinions/added knowledge or facts or thoughts on this? I don't see any technical problems, i.e. the QPL version is not crippled in any way. On the philosophical side of things, it's up to you. If you want to release your code under the BSD license you have to abide by the QPL. The GPL2 vs GPL3 is a can of worms I'm not going to open :) Some may find it nitpicking, and perhaps it is, but I'd still like to hear some opinions on this anyhow. I could get the bare info by (quite a long) google probably but I'm also interested in hearing opinions. This is an opinionated subject anyway, I know. Considering that you've asked in a FreeBSD mailing list I'd expect the BSD license to be favored here. FWIW, there are several QT apps in the ports tree released under the BSD license. Off the top of my head, sysutils/barry, x11-themes/qinx and sysutils/thefish's QT frontend. Surely there are more out there. ISTR some parts of KDE are under the BSDL as well.

On my NetBSD boxen xorg lives under /usr/pkg/xorg and all packages are installed under /usr/pkg, not /usr/X11R6 or /usr/local. I disagree with NetBSD's PREFIX. I would go with the global prefix, /usr/local. 85% of configure has the /usr/local by default and FreeBSD already has /usr/local (to kill the colour discussions), so all we have to do is remove /usr/X11R6. Before you ask how we can test if the port is respect the prefix, we should be able to find out very easy when you work with pkg-plist by follow the porter handbook. I wasn't advocating the use of /usr/pkg, but rather the way they enforce it for every package. I personally don't mind what the prefix is called, but for the sake of POLA /usr/local would certainly serve FreeBSD better. FWIW, well behaved software should always be $PREFIX clean. On an unrelated note, I also find their buildlink system pretty interesting, and have meant to have a more in depth look at it for a while but, as always, there's only so much stuff you can do in 24 hours.

Re: Can't build ports on older FreeBSD machine
On Tue, 19 Apr 2005 20:37:43 -0600 Brett Glass [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You may not, but users of FreeBSD do. At the very least, ports should be tagged as to the versions of the OS with which they will work, and it should be possible to retrieve the most recent version of the port that works with the version of the OS you are running. Brett, if you want something to happen do something about it. You seem to spend a incredible amount of time and energy telling others how FreeBSD should be, yet you don't want to put up. Having users update in the standard (and prescribed) way and finding out that a major function (the entire ports system) is no longer working is certainly not something one would expect from professionally crafted software. The handbook clearly states that current ports are only supported on -CURRENT and -STABLE. You might be lucky and get the ports to work on older releases. The OpenBSD people do the same, btw. Except if you try to use the current ports on a release they will sure fail to build. As someone who does ports work I can tell you that supporting RELENG_4 and RELENG_5 is enough work already. What you're asking for is not reasonable for a volunteer driven project. Note that under Linux, the maintainers of distributions do exactly this. However, FreeBSD is essentially its own distro, so the job of doing this falls to the FreeBSD developers and the maintainers of the ports. If it is not done, FreeBSD users will enjoy an inferior experience to the one they get with Linux or even Windows. The situation is very different. Linux distros are a kernel + packages, because the concept of a base system doesn't exist in the Linux world. And people who run production Linux boxes are very careful about updating critical parts of the system like glibc and friends. You should take a look at e.g. RHEL and you'll see that they are quite conservative too and only support very specific versions of software packages. Windows doesn't even play in the same league, why mention it? As I've said, show the rest of us that you care enough about this and do something about it. Else it sounds like you're just enjoying the free ride and expect others to do all the work for you.

Greylisting and SPF checks are a much better solution. I do have the courtesy to say please use your ISP's mail server in the error reply. Well, as pointed out before, that's not always possible. My ISP doesn't allow any mail with a from != terra.es to pass through their mail servers. Not only that, but they will silently drop e-mail without telling you. Their POP3 server is also broken half of the time, that's why I gave up on using their mail (and dns as well) service years ago. Modulo that, the service is good enough and I've had less than a few hours of outage in 5 years, so I don't have any plans of moving to another ISP. When people reject my mail (which comes from a static IP, gpg-signed and from a host that publishes SPF records) I simply add them to my / etc/postfix/access file, so I don't waste time reading and replying to mail that won't reach its destinantion. It's that simple :) I've tried several setups to stop spam. I get about 150/day or so. I discovered that 99% of them were coming from Windows boxes. So, if you have PF you can do tricks like this: rdr on $ext_if proto tcp from any os Windows to any port smtp - 127.0.0.1 port 8025 And have all those mails end up in spamd's tarpit. However, this might send legit mail there, so I stopped using that too. I just let spamassassin do its job.

Re: Recommended Video Card with OpenGL Acceleration?

I'll be running this on 5.3-stable. Thus far searches have indicated that ATI is to be avoided, NVIDIA is decent, and All cards supported by the DRI open source drivers work fine in FreeBSD. I would hope that if a card is said to work fine actually does do hardware OpenGL. (I have a laptop with a savage twister [0x8d01] that works fine with X, albeit very slowly. It'd be nice to have that usable.). If you want to get the best performance the obvious choice is nvidia hardware with their proprietary kernel driver. There used to be stability issues in the past but those seem to have been fixed. I wouldn't say ATI is to be avoided. If you don't have/need the latest and greatest you will get 3D support from the DRI driver (up to 9200/R280). You can get a 9200SE/128MB for $50 or so these days, enough if you don't want to do heavy gaming and/or pixel/vertex shader programming. The advantage is that, while performance is not as good as with nvidia gear, you still have a 100% open source kernel and can get to the code if needed. This might be important for some people, not so relevant for end users. ATI used to have better 2D quality but this seems to have changed, and nvidia now actually cares about image quality (I remember the image quality of my old TNT to be really awful when compared to a PCI Matrox card) If people would care to bounce me a dmesg or hardware description, X/Mesa/etc. versions and some glxgears framerates (csdemo framerates would be even better), that'd be much appreciated. I'd prefer to not have a completely frankensteined system, but if I need to be running some package straight out of CVS, then so be it. For nvidia, use their kernel and X driver, for others Xorg should provide the 3D support. I don't know about the Savage card, but if Xorg supports the DRI part you should get 3D acceleration. Some cards only have 2D support with sometimes Xv as well.

I've never seen such file, my guess is that anyone breaking into someone else's computer would hide his stuff, but you never know. Google didn't turn any useful hit either. With this and the rest of your post I have reasons to believe that you haven't been broken into. However, if you're suspicious you could back up the 'evidence', in this case the regs file and other unsual stuff you might find, wipe the system out and reinstall and restore date from a good backup. I looked at the file with the hexeditor and it seems to consist of lots of four-byte values which look like addresses on the stack of an application. What do those values look like? About half an hour before the creation date there were numerous failed login attempts on the SSH port (all from the same IP), but my logs didn't show any signs of an intrusion. The ssh scans seem to be common. There's an automated tool out there with a hardcoded weak name/pass list. My suggestion for that is, if you only need ssh access from specific places setup a firewall rule to allow only those IP addresses. However, I suspect that I've been hacked. There was another strange occurence: Yesterday my internet connection went down without a particular reason. I tested a few other configurations and rebooted multiple times, and after the fifth reboot (with the usual settings restored) it suddenly worked again. There seem to be no unusual processes running, but when I'm hacked, I can't trust the tools on my system any more. Also there were quite a few crashes. Do you run any services on that box besides ssh? Apache/Sendmail/Whathaveyou? Anything unusual in the logs? Has anyone seen this file too?

Re: Ports Improvements
On Sun, 24 Oct 2004 16:16:43 -0700 Loren M. Lang [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Kris has already pointed out that FreeBSD's ports system works in a different way, but I'll add my $0.02 anyway... I'm curious if there is any major work being done in developing the ports infrastructure right now or if it is mostly just minor features The ports system is being enhanced all the time. They don't push radical changes into the system but small steps, and I think that's the way it should be, as it leaves more room for testing. [portage] biggest thing is the USE flags. One of the biggest annoyances I have with major upgrades using portupgrade is when I leave it upgrading for a day and come home to find it sitting at the mplayer-skins screen asking what skins I want to install and that it spent less then an hour doing any work upgrading. I really don't care much about skins, I'd say portage's USE is, at the same time, its best feature and its biggest weakness. A lot of people end up with broken programs due to exotic USE settings that no one else has tested. Others change USE options and then forget to run emerge in deep mode, ending up with a mix of programs and libraries, some of them depending on e.g. kde or gnome libraries and other that don't. As someone who has used both systems, I have to say that FreeBSD's fine grained OPTIONS is much better than portage's USE. Sure, it will ask you the first time (although you could just use BATCH if you want to use defaults for everything), but it will be automated the next time you update and/or rebuild the port. portage is far from perfect. For example, I had -gnome in my USE flags, and some dependencies of monodevelop were compiled that way. After building them it complained in the next ebuild that libfoo had been built without gnome and that I had to rebuild it again. (IIRC it was gtkhtml or a similar lib). something. USE flags would also eliminate the need for ports like exim-ldap. This is needed if you want to provide binary packages with different options. In fact, I think gentoo has at least 5 of the latest ebuilds in the mozilla directory. This makes it easier to choice an older version if the latest has some bugs not worked out yet. Yesterday I just ran across You can always cvs(up) to a given point in time. portage usually has ebuilds that are still marked x86 only, or even hardmasked (e.g. sylpheed-gtlk2). On FreeBSD, if a port is in the tree it will probably work. My impression is that the testing part on FreeBSD is better, and that portage relies more on 'commit and let people try it'. still had problems. At least on gentoo I would of had five choices. You do have the choice in FreeBSD, cvs is your friend. The last feature I would like to see in ports is the ability to hold back certain ports or force them to always use packages. lang/ezm3 and editors/openoffice-1.1 almost always fail compiling at some point with cc1 being killed for eating too much memory. I prefer to always portupgrade has been able to do that for a long time. Have a look at pkgtools.conf in /usr/local/etc. I might be able to volunteer some time to this as, at least the first thing I mentioned I think could really use some work. Having said that, I like both systems and just wanted to point out that neither of them are perfect, and each one has its little advantages over the other. I don't see the point in portage-ing FreeBSD ports. I don think that some ideas could be borrowed from OpenBSD's ports, like fake installs and the very strict plist handling. I also like how they use more than one digest, thus making a possible MD5 and SHA1 collision nearly impossible.

Kilgard's `OpenGL programming for the X Window System' also makes a good start if you prefer dead tree documentation, although the Motif stuff is not that useful these days, but the basics remain the same. Basically, any stuff that's valid for Linux, is also valid for FreeBSD. The OpenGL API is identical (and comes installed with X), the only thing that might be different is the placement of libraries and headers, but this is handled during compile-time anyways. The other thing is hardware acceleration. I'm fuzzy on this, but my impression is that this is somewhat non-existent on FreeBSD. The only exception quite possibly being the NVIDIA drivers. I'd say FreeBSD is almost on par with Linux with regards to 3D hardware acceleration, the exception being high end ATi cards which only work with ATi's closed source drivers. All cards supported by the DRI open source drivers work fine in FreeBSD. I haven't noticed performance difference between Arch Linux and FreeBSD 5.3 when it comes to OpenGL apps. Ironically, my little SDL benchmarks performed better on the BSDs, even when one of the CPUs was busy. Could be a scheduler side effect, not sure. If he's porting from Linux, my guess is that he's got a fairly easy job ahead of him. If he's porting from Windows, that's going to pose a lot more work. Also, he'll need to use one of the appropriate libraries (GLUT or SDL) unless he wants to code directly atop libX11 *shudder*. All modern toolkits allow integration with OpenGL these days, be it SDL or GTK+/Qt if you need something more feature rich. I see little reason not to use them.

Re: 5.x kernel config changes?
Dixitur illum Leo Bicknell [EMAIL PROTECTED] scribere... [Moving to questions, since all of these are FAQs] Hi, here we go... 1) It appears IPFW just works (eg, configure it in /etc/rc.conf). It used to be you had to compile it in. What's interesting to me is that IPFW options are not in generic, and I didn't think options could be done in LKM's. What am I missing? You aren't missing anything, the module is loaded if needed. 2) IPDIVERT is missing / doesn't work, so while my IPFW config seemed to take/work natd did not work. If IPFW is just going to work having IPDIVERT just work seems like a good idea as well. As per 1), if ipfw is loaded as module no ipdivert functionality will be present, you need to add both in your kernel config. 3) There seems to be no more LINT or other listing of all the options. Why? In particular I needed options NETATALK but couldn't remember the name and there was no file to quickly grep. Has the list of options been moved somewhere else? The config file is now called NOTES, and was splitted in two parts, machine dependent and machine independent. You can generate the LINT file with: make LINT in that same directory where NOTES is. 4) Due to the way the makefiles now work it seems impossible to build a new kernel after changing just options statements and install it without also rebuilding all the modules...which takes quite some time. This seems to be because it moves the whole directory out of the way in /boot. This seems a little suboptimal to me. You can choose not to build modules by setting it in make.conf.

Oops, didn't see this one. There are two ways to use sieve, one is
having a .sieve file in your home dir, the other is having sieve scripts
in /usr/sieve. There's a setting in imapd.conf to select which way sieve
scripts are handled, e.g. if you have lots of users but no real
accounts.
The relevant bits:
sievedir: /var/imap/sieve
# If enabled, deliver wil look for Sieve scripts in user's home
# directories:# ~user/.sieve.
sieveusehomedir: true
Another thing, if you're using sieveshell you need to 1) upload script,
2) activate it, if you dont' activate it, it won't take effect. Perhaps
that's what's happening?

The -F0 option was an option that made spamassassin not alter the

it where to search for user_prefs.
Do you have a good reference for that? I Googled sieve cyrus and

Before I do, I have to ask: has *anyone* made Sendmail+Cyrus+Procmail+SpamAssassin work? In order of most undesirable to least: Almost, my setup is a bit different, but perhaps I can give you some ideas. My mailserver goes like this: postfix - spamassassin - deliver - sieve Now, how does one accomplish this? postfix pipes mail through a shell script instead of feeding it directly to Cyrus' deliver. This shell script pipes mail through spamassassin, and then finally to deliver, which uses my .sieve to automagically bounce all Spam to trustic's database and move messages to the appropriate folders. What you could do is something like have sendmail pipe you email to a shell script that would pipe it to procmail, and finally to Cyrus' deliver. Note that you can't have procmail deliver the mail becuase Cyrus uses its own storage method (a Maildir lookalike combined with some BerkeleyDB stuff) If you want to have a look at the shell script I'm using, I got it from here: http://www.tml.hut.fi/~pnr/spam.html 2 remarks: Newer versions of SA don't support the -F0 and -P options, and , you'll have to modify it, since it was made for postfix, but I hope it will help as a starter.

Then I used this:
$ env CFLAGS=-I/usr/pkg/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/pkg/lib ./configure
(Again, change /usr/pkg to /usr/local for FreeBSD)
configure went okay. I still get an error while trying to build the lib,
but it's a step.
I'll post in a while if I get it to build, right now I have to get onto
other things. Hope this helps a bit. Perhaps it would be worth e-mailing
the developers and making an offer to help them make a more sane
configure script.

1) Copy the password file from the old machine to a temp dir in the new.
2) Trim out root,toor,daemon,nobody etc
3) csh style (change to for user in ... for sh-esque shells)
$ foreach user (`cat passwd`)
echo $user|awk -F: '{print useradd -n $1 -c \ $5 \ -m -s $7}'|xargs pw
end
This will add all those users with their name and shell. Customize if
those users don't have home dir, etc. You can do something similar for
groups. Then copy the homedirs and do a simple loop to set the proper
uid:gid.
E.g, if each user has its own group it becomes quite trivial.
$ cd /home
$ foreach user (*)
chown -R $user:$user $user
end
Now the encrypted passwords. You need a copy of master.passwd and a
similar loop to the one we used before, except you should something like
sed this time. The substitution command could look like this:
sed -i -e 's@user:\*:@user:e29rSoyJdLHFIbIt1:@' master.passwd
Building the argument string with awk should be quite trivial. Don't forget to run
pwd_mkdb after you're done!
Also, try this with temp files before, of course :)
