Is there any way to get portmaster to reinstall every port in the *EXACT* same order they where installed in, preferably with out any knowledge of what ports where installed after the current one was the reason for asking is many times it seems that subtle incompatibilities solely due to either the order of upgrades in -ad and/or when a port gets updated autoconfig picks up stuff non-dependant ports that where installed later... a good example of the second is gettext compiles with java support if you reinstall after installing Java but does not do so if installing before you install it ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

While you can supply arguments on the command line, it is hard to

Therefore I think it is best to set arguments in make.conf. For example;

WITHOUT_NLS=yes

.endif
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/print/cups*}
CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE=true
.endif
-- make.conf excerpt --
The '.if' statement ensures that the variables are only set when make is
called from the praticular port direction.
I find the portconf method a little easier to manage - installing
ports-mgmt/portconf adds some lines to your make.conf, which allow you
to set options for your ports in a file called /usr/local/etc/ports.conf.
For example,
mail/exim: WITH_MYSQL=1 | WITH_SPF=1
The file is honoured by manual builds, and by the likes of portinstall,
portmaster etc.

Re: Uninstalling Ports Question
Thanks Bill. I use the port upgrade suit for all of my port management needs. I guess what I can do is just pkg_info the pkg I am going to delete then see if I need the deps or not and un-install them as well. Bill Moran wrote: In response to Placid Publishing, LLC [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Say I have a new system with nothing installed on it yet from the ports collection. Lets say I install Apache and lets say it requires php, python, perl, and ruby. Now lets say I uninstall Apache with pkg_delete Apache. Will it remove php, python, perl, and ruby? Or will it leave those packages? Even if nothing else is depending on them? The system does not automatically clean up dependencies for you. If you uninstall a package that leave dependencies behind, you'll have to clean them up yourself. If it does, how can I remove those quickly with a pkg_* command? Also, what happens if other programs I installed later use php, python, or perl? I'm guessing they would just be left? Install and use ports-mgmnt/pkg_cutleaves.

CVSup/Ports Question
I just have a quick question on some of the documentation I have read about FreeBSD and it's ports collection. I read in the handbook that the cvsup tag for the ports-* collection should be .. In particular, use only tag=. for the ports-* collections. However, when I was reading the ports(7) man page I saw: It is possible to download and use ports from the FreeBSD repository that are newer than the installed system; however it is important to install the appropriate ``Upgrade Kit'' from http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/ first! The portcheckout(1) (ports/devel/portcheckout) script (also a port, of course!) will help to download new ports. When I went to the webpage that the man page referenced I found a paragraph that stated The Ports Collection supports the latest release on the FreeBSD-CURRENT and FreeBSD-STABLE branches. Older releases are not supported and may or may not work correctly with an up-to-date ports collection. Over time, changes to the ports collection may rely on features that are not present in older releases. Wherever convenient, we try not to gratuitously break support for recent releases, but it is sometimes unavoidable. When this occurs, patches contributed by the user community to maintain support for older releases will usually be committed. My question is should I keep tag=. in my ports supfile even though I am running the RELENG_6_0 and from my understanding that is different from the -STABLE branch. Or, am I just mixed up on the branching structure?

You either get the ports snapshot that was out at the same time your release was released. Or you get the *most* recent version of the port, with no guarantee it will work on an exceedingly old FBSD version. In any case, don't screw with cvsup for ports; look into portsnap.

What exactly do you mean, ports doesn't *know* which packages were installed by pkg_add ... they use the same database, and as far as the ports(7) mechanism is concerned, they are the same thing. The difference is in the details visible to the user; as far as the ports system is concerned, files is files, and port/package data is data.

Thanks again... HTH, KDK 'make package' will install the missing dependencies but will only make a package of the the port being installed. If you want to make a package of the dependent ports you need to use 'make package-recursive'. Be advised, probably somewhere in the build of the packages, something will be missing and it will break. At least, it always has for me. So, packages are built for some of the dependent ports, but not for others. You need to check that /usr/ports/packages exists and if it doesn't, do a 'mkdir /usr/ports/packages', otherwise the built packages are put in the port. Not a really convenient place.

I may try it, though, just to see how it works. One last question: is there a way to find what are the standard targets for any given port?

Then, since the ports system uses make(1), that's one to read, I'd guess. Make(1) points you over to read make.conf(5). Ports(7) says this: BUGS Ports documentation is split over four places -- /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk, The Porter's Handbook, the ``Packages and Ports'' chapter of The FreeBSD Handbook, and this manual page. So, those would be some places to start, too (most of which come in the doc distribution, and is on the website and mirrors, of course.

For a variety of a reasons, I would like to move away from sendmail to postfix. However, the postfix package cannot, as I am sure you know, simply install with sendmail on the system, since they install files to the same places. I am assuming that I have to delete the sendmail package off the system before I can install postfix (someone please correct me if this assumption is wrong). My question is, is there a way to safely and accurately save my sendmail configuration in the event that postfix simply does not work out? I would really prefer not to have to face a situation where I am left high and dry with no MTA working :) The ports version of postfix by default installs all its configuration files under /usr/local/ports/postfix so it leaves your /etc/mail alone (with the exception of mailer.conf) so your sendmail config should be safe -- though it never hurts to tar it up and cp someplace else just in case. You DO NOT need to remove sendmail from the system, though, if you desire, you can exclude it from the `make world` process by adding NO_SENDMAIL=yes to /etc/make.conf. A couple of things to watch for: 1. You will have another aliases file under the new postfix directory so you'll want to remember this if you use the aliases file much. You can just ignore the new one and continue to use the one in /etc/mail or you can do what I did and instruct postfix through its main.cfg to take the postfix-directory version as gospel since this seemed convenient for me to keep the bulk of my config stuff in the postfix directory. 2. Like David said in his reply to you, make sure you read the post-install messages once you build/install postfix so that you can modify your mailer.conf appropriately to use postfix instead of the core sendmail. The /etc/mail/mailer.conf file is the key to the seamless transition here. Also, be careful with mergemaster when you do the next `make world` so that you don't inadvertently overwrite your postfix-modified one with the base sendmail one (done that myself once or twice :) ) Hope that helps, G * REPLY SEPARATOR * On 10/8/2005 2:41:20 PM, Gerard Seibert Replied: I have always thought that it might be a nice option to have FreeBSD only install the MTA that the user prefers, when the OS is first installed.

A simple ports question...
How would you install a port that had dependencies that were older than identical items on your system? For example, you install portx that requires depend1.1 -- you have depend1.2 on your system. Running 'make install clean' will generate an error code stating that you have an OLDER version -- despite the fact that you actually have a newer version. I believe this is simply because version numbers don't match. 'FORCE_PACKAGE_REGISTER' will install and register the older version as well as the newer version. THis is less than desirable behavior. I looked through the ports man page to find a variable that would ignore dependencies. If such a variable exists would the port most likely still run (assuming all dependencies are present albeit newer versions)?

It really depend why you got packages for 2.12 rather than the current ports version. If gnome 2.10.2. is broken on 6.0-RC1, then it's going to be tricky. The fact that make install in the pan2 directory causes glib to build suggest that some port isn't compatible with glib-2.8.3. On the other hand if you simply got the 2.12 version because it was there, I would suggest removing it and installing 2.10.2 - presumably pointyhat has a compatible version. Alternately portmanager will probably be able to handle the reversion through the port system. You also have the options of waiting for 2.12 to hit the ports tree, or doing without gnome.

What is the use of specifying the 'r' switch when using the 'a' switch? # portupgrade -ar Since all installed ports are targeted wouldn't installed ports that depend on another installed port be upgraded anyway (if necessary)? I understand the reasoning behind using the 'R' switch with 'a' since there may be new ports that are not installed that are required by installed ports. __ Find your next car at http://autos.yahoo.ca ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It only takes a minute to read, but saves you a lifetime of questions. As I understand, you're dealing with kind of bug in glib20 port. You might be lucky enough so that portupgrade will get over it - and fix everything. By the way, did you update the INDEX files in /usr/ports? Run portsdb -uUF to fetch and install a fresh index. Do it every time after cvsupping your ports tree.

You DO NOT need to remove sendmail from the system, though, if you desire, you can exclude it from the `make world` process by adding NO_SENDMAIL=yes to /etc/make.conf.

However, SendMail would not be installed, unless it was the users preference. Further, buildworld would by default update the users MTA of choice, and not default to SendMail.

Possibly OT: ports question/suggestion
Maybe this is not the best place for this (I'm not really sure) but would there be a way to setup the ports tree so that when a particular package is deinstalled that it's dependancies would be deinstalled if they were only installed becasue of the port in the first place. For example Package X depends on Packages A,B, and C. Package A was installed because you needed it for whatever reason but B and C were not. So I install Package X ( and consequently B and C) and when I decide to get rid of Package X for whatever reason it automagically knows that B and C were installed due to dependancies and would check if they were needed by other ports/packages and if not interactively go through and deinstall them. Interactively would be that it would prompt the user prior to deinstallation. Would you like to remove Package B, since it was installed as a dependancy?

Update the system via cvsup. 2. Compile and install updated system and kernel. 3. Get a list of installed packages using pkg_info. 4. From step 3, make a list of packages that I installed **explicitly**. (I ignore dependencies -- pkg_add and ports will resolve these.) 5. From step 4, divide the list into packages to be compiled and packages that can be installed using binaries. (I only compile a couple of apps.) 6. Write a script to install the packages (from binaries) via 'pkg_add -r' 7. Delete all packages using 'pkg_delete -a' and reboot. 8. Install python. (I wrote the script in python.) 9. Reinstall packages using script in step 6. 10. Reinstall packages to be compiled manually from ports. Steps 3-5 give me the opportunity to omit packages I no longer use. I've used 'portupgrade -arRP'; but it still seems to compile a lot of packages and it won't help me prepare for a clean jump to FreeBSD 5*. I've been keeping the lists of packages up-to-date, on a floppy for when I install FreeBSD 5* (STABLE). I'll do a clean system installation; and then I'll install the packages I want from the list.

Re: ports question
Why don't you use cvsup to sync your ports-tree? That's allot easier. Some ports aren't working now since the distfile isn't in sync with the make-file. If you use cvsup it will be solved.

Cyrus-imapd2 installed through ports question
Hello everyone. I was having a problem after I installed cyrus-imapd2 through the ports tree. Everything on the installation went well. However, im seeing a error pop up in my log that I cannot figure out. Thus, I thought i'd ask here, see if anyone had any similiar problems. Note, this is on a FreeBSD 4.9 box: Cyrus-imapd-2.1.16 Cyrus-sasl-2.1.17 BerkeleyDB-4.1.25 This is from my /var/log/auth.log Jan 5 23:54:39 obsidianbox imapd[8015]: OTP unavailable because can't read/write key database /etc/opiekeys: Permission denied Jan 5 23:54:43 obsidianbox imapd[8015]: no user in db The first one I figured out a workaround. Simple enough. The second one though, is really driving me up a wall. I'm completely baffled as to why this is showing up my logs. What is very odd, is that I can still connect and authenticate from a mail client. I also get it when I use 'imtest' for basic testing of the server. Lastly, I even get it when I connect to the 'cyradm' interface when I want to manage mailboxes. Yet, I can still login and things work. I've tried a variety of things and nothing seems to be working. Here is what I just did: Did a fresh install of FreeBSD 4.9. CVSup the ports and source tree. Navigated to /usr/ports/mail/cyrus-imapd2 port make -DWITH_BDB_VER=41 -DWITH_SKIPLIST_MBOX -DWITH_SKIPLIST_SEEN -DWITH_MURDER As I type this email, im wondering if it could have been something I did: 1.) I actually edited the Makefile and changed the BDB_VER line from 3 to 41. Looking on my command line option, I specified 41, but I did it with -DWITH. Not sure if that would cause any problems. Anyone have any ideas on why im getting the no user in db entry in my log? I'm at a loss here.
