self-built packages don't always install all files
Hi I maintain my own package repository, served over ftp and I am finding that often times a package will not fully get installed on a remote host. For example, if i run pkg_add -r python24 and i know i have just built that port's package and it works, sometimes it will only install a few of the packages files. # pkg_info -L python24-2.4.3_3 Information for python24-2.4.3_3: Files: /usr/local/man/man1/python.1.gz /usr/local/man/man1/python2.4.1.gz python24 has hundreds of files it installs, but only these 2 really got installed. this also happens with php5-session at times. If i rebuild the package on the package repository host I can ensure 1-3 good remote installs but after that the problem crops up again. This gets problematic when you're updating hundreds of hosts. Has anyone else experienced this? Found what is causing the problem? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Looking to go into the next stage of our move to Linux by implementing an internal authoritative DNS server. why not move to FreeBSD instead? you're already posting to the freebsd-questions list. ;) (yes FreeBSD is not linux) I only expect to hold zones for 4 different domains on it for now, so I'm not expecting much from it, but I'm curious how much bandwidth usage to plan for. very minor I would say, tho of course it depends on the traffic to those domains and other factors, but very small, like in the 1GB and less range for the dns stuff. Right now our ISP does all our DNS, but I'd like to take it in house if possible so we have direct control over it. If all our TTL's are set to 24 hours, what could I expect to see as far as an increase in bandwidth usage by doing this?

make runs wild
has anybody ever run make in ports and then have the process get stuck, produce thousands of make processes and not stop until you do killall make? I have gotten this now with xpdf and gd 2 installs from ports. any ideas? -- george donnelly - http://www.zettai.net/ - We Love Newbies :) Zope Hosting - Dynamic Website Design - Search Engine Promotion Yahoo, AIM: zettainet - MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - ICQ: 51907738 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Mine is a day old and I didn't have any problem building xpdf and installing it. its a few months old now... gd2 gives me the same problem when it gets to the point of registering the install: alpha# make install === Installing for gd-2.0.1_3 === gd-2.0.1_3 depends on shared library: png - found === gd-2.0.1_3 depends on shared library: jpeg - found === gd-2.0.1_3 depends on shared library: freetype - found === gd-2.0.1_3 depends on shared library: X11.6 - found mkdir -p /usr/local/include make LIB=gd LIBDIR=/usr/local/lib NOPROFILE=true SHLIB_MAJOR=4 SHLIB_MINOR=0 -f /usr/share/mk/bsd.lib.mk install install -C -o root -g wheel -m 444 libgd.a /usr/local/lib install -s -o root -g wheel -m 444 libgd.so.4 /usr/local/lib ln -fs libgd.so.4 /usr/local/lib/libgd.so cd /usr/ports/graphics/gd2/work/gd-2.0.1 install -c -o root -g wheel -m 444 gd.h gd_io.h gdcache.h gdfontg.h gdfontl.h gdfontmb.h gdfonts.h gdfontt.h /usr/local/include cd /usr/ports/graphics/gd2/work/gd-2.0.1 install -c -s -o root -g wheel -m 555 pngtogd pngtogd2 gdtopng gd2topng gd2copypal gdparttopng webpng gd2togif gdcmpgif giftogd2 /usr/local/bin/ install -c -o root -g wheel -m 555 /usr/ports/graphics/gd2/work/gd-2.0.1/bdftogd /usr/local/bin/ === Generating temporary packing list === Running ldconfig /sbin/ldconfig -m /usr/local/lib === Registering installation for gd-2.0.1_3 Terminated -- george donnelly - http://www.zettai.net/ - We Love Newbies :) Zope Hosting - Dynamic Website Design - Search Engine Promotion Yahoo, AIM: zettainet - MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - ICQ: 51907738 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[Kent Stewart wrote ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) on 6/7/03 8:21 PM] Well, if it is trying to install qt-2, you are massively out of date. Qt-2 was required by kde-2.x and it has been obsoleted and deleted.. You have a major update in front of you to qet curent with the ports. ? i mentioned GD2 and xpdf, not qt or kde, not sure why you think i am tryiing to install them or why you think i am out of date. i'm running freebsd 4.7 and its not more than 4-5 months out-of-date If you still have kde-2 installed, your are probably better off deleting everything involving kde and starting from scratch. You need to run pkg-version -c or portversion -c and see what is out of date. If it involves XFree86-3.x, the easy way is to pkg_delete all of the XFree86 dependent ports and start from scratch. The problems you will encountered are covered in the archives. You also have to remake the index files every time you cvsup ports-all. INDEX is 3 weeks old and what I do is make index and portsdb -u every time I cvsup ports-all. If you have refuses, you can not do a make index at some point. thanks for your help, but i think we have miscommunicated -- george donnelly - http://www.zettai.net/ - We Love Newbies :) Zope Hosting - Dynamic Website Design - Search Engine Promotion Yahoo, AIM: zettainet - MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - ICQ: 51907738 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

/etc/fstab config
hi i've got a 3 disk raid 5 partition that is my main fs and then an 80gb ide drive on a separate partition at /vol1. i need to config my /etc/fstab for this and this is what i've got (see below). can someone tell me if looks correct? also, if i were to reboot the machine with the pass # for /dev/ad2s1e (/vol1) set to 1, would this be incorrect (i think so) and would it cause damage to the disk? # DeviceMountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/da0s1b noneswapsw 0 0 /dev/da0s1a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/ad2s1e /vol1 ufs rw 2 2 proc/proc procfs rw 0 0 thanks -- george donnelly - http://zettai.net/ - We Love Newbies :) Zope Hosting - Dynamic Website Design - Search Engine Promotion Yahoo, AIM: zettainet - ICQ: 51907738 - e:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: recover overwritten file
[talon commented on 1/22/03 11:48 PM] - Iv been there :) This probably sounds stupid but i do it ... file name /bin/rmx #/bin/sh cp $1 /tmp/`$1` rm -r $1 I call it the recycle bin LoL Thanks for everyone's comments. I got mighty lucky as I had a 5 minute old copy of the file hanging around on another disk. And as someone mentioned, I did learn a very important lesson. Wow. btw I think your recycle bin is a good idea and am going to implement it. -- george donnelly - http://zettai.net/ - We Love Newbies :) Zope Hosting - Dynamic Website Design - Search Engine Promotion Yahoo, AIM: zettainet - ICQ: 51907738 - e:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
