Re: portupgrade failure
Hi, I have similar problem and find solution in portupgrade man page: -- Sometimes a database may get corrupt and the pkgtools commands start to abort due to segmentation fault. In such cases, run ``pkgdb -fu'' to rebuild the database, and the problems will go away. If the command failed itself, remove a database file (/var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db) and run it again. -- On Monday 19 June 2006 17:57, Elliot Finley wrote: After upgrading to the latest portupgrade: dns root:~#portupgrade -v portupgrade 2.0.1 (2006/06/18) I got a failure on 2 out of 4 boxes.

if_ndis values setting problem.
Hello there, I have problem setting params to the if_ndis card. I'm using asus wl138g which is marvel chipset card. I've compiled the driver using ndisgen and the dmesg says the card is ok. When I try to do ifconfig ndis0 ssid SESS etc (with wep 128bit encryption) the led on the card blinks for a second and after that nothing happens. The ssid is empty, the encryption is WEP and all the values seems to be ok. #ifconfig ndis0 ssid MYSESS nwkey ...key here... mode shared Any ideas how ot fix that? I'm using fbsd-stable. 10x in advance! -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Question about current rc scripts
Hello everybody, Before FreeBSD 6.1, I was able to write a rc script which modifies the rc.conf file. All rc scripts exectuted after this first one would use the new rc.conf then. To make this work, I put the script in /etc/rc.d/ and tagged it with BEFORE: rcconf. Unfortunately, rcconf has been removed in FreeBSD 6.1 (or -STABLE?). I have tried many different ways, like BEFORE:NETWORKING, and others. But none seems to work. I even overwrote rc.diskless, but still no luck. What is the correct way for 6-STABLE to achieve what I want to do? (i.e. write the rc.conf from a rc script) Thanks in advance, M. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Question about current rc scripts
What is the correct way for 6-STABLE to achieve what I want to do? (i.e. write the rc.conf from a rc script) I thought rc.conf was simply a script that set some variables. If this is the case then you don't need to overwrite it - you simply need to make your script set the appropriate variables and then drop it in as a repplacement for rc.conf - hence no need to rewrite rc.conf at all. -pcf. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Question about current rc scripts
I have investigated a bit more. Setting the variables can't work. As far as I can see, rc.conf is sourced from rc.subr. And every single script in /etc/rc.d/ sources rc.subr, so they reload the rc.conf file for each call. The rc scripts are being executed in a sub-shell though. So overwriting variables in any of them will have no effect on the following files. It does work for /usr/local/etc/rc.d though, but I really need it to execute before anything else. I made it work by overwriting rc.diskless (again). Stupid /me, rc.diskless does not follow the syntax for rc scripts. It's just a normal shell script :) Anyways, I would still be interested in the correct way to do it. M. Pete French schrieb: I thought rc.conf was simply a script that set some variables.

Re: Question about current rc scripts
Yes, I think this is the solution. It seems to depend on the filename, specifically the .sh extension. CODE (in /etc/rc): /etc/rc.d/*.sh) # run in current shell Thanks, I am testing this now.

This is what I initially tried, but it didn't work due to a wrong BEFORE: tag. rcconf was removed from 6-STABLE, so my scripts didn't start at all anymore.

Re: Question about current rc scripts
Another problem solved :) So when my script overwrote rc.conf, the file was already loaded and thus overwriting it had no effect. That's why it didn't work. (not with BEFORE: initrandom either). This must have changed somewhen between 6.0 and 6-STABLE because it did work in 6.0. Thanks vm. I'm going to publish a freebsd 6 remote deployment article on my blog after I got it working 100%.

Re: 'make release' questions...
Andrew Li wrote: First, is there any way to instruct 'make release' to just build certain packages (and their dependencies) for inclusion in the release instead of a blanket NOPORTS? There's no need for us spend two/three days From my experience with playing with make release, you can do it. First build your packages with make package or pkg_create to get a package tarball. Then put the packages into your_path/release/R/cdrom/disc1 into a directory call packages. Create the package directory structure, like packages/All, packages/your_package_category, ... O.k. did that (and generated a new INDEX file using scrubindex.pl) However in sysinstall, after selecting the packages and selecting Install it remarks that: This is disc 1. Package $package_name is on Disc 0. Would you like to switch discs now? Disk 0? After that, modify the INDEX file so it only contain your packages (plus dependencies). Then run mkisomages.sh to create your ISO. So I have used scrubindex.pl to generate a INDEX of just our packages, however, I have to generate a new master INDEX-6 file to account for the fact that we build our packages w/o x11 support and with GSSAPI. (so scrubindex.pl can then strip the rest out) However after a 'make index' things like mtr-nox11 are included into INDEX-6, but not openssh-gssapi? The only difference is that the -gssapi moniker is declared as a GSSAPI_SUFFIX make varaible vs. the normal PKGNAMESUFFIX. I'll send a version of this email to ports@ to get their input. That's all from memory, may contain rough edges, hope it helps anyway. Thanks...
