Re: no packages for amd64 snapshot
To put things in perspective, the dpb framework is now about two years old. It was a bit quirky and experimental until 4.9. The addition of /usr/ports/infrastructure/man to man.conf happened a little before 5.0. So, people wanting to build packages *for current* should have no problem accessing that information... if they do, they're probably not fit to build their own packages anyways. Another data point: as an OpenBSD developer, I have to *check* to figure out those things. See, 5.0 was a done deal for me in august, and there have been large advances since then. In reality, people who keep up with binary snapshots have (more or less) 5.0, as far as packages are concerned (unless they were away when we asked for package testing... but you weren't, right ? right ?) As far as amd64 goes, I expect Robert will resume building snaps as soon as he's back home. I don't know if Kiki has been chewing network cables or what.

With mandoc, basically, forget about options, except -Tlint and -Ttree for debugging the manual source code. Yours, Ingo

That's in the source tree, not the ports tree.

*If* you have [the] ports tree source on your system, you can do the
following
to view the dpb man page:
$ mandoc -Tascii /usr/ports/infrastructure/build/dpb3.1 | less
then yes 'man dpb' should display
something. If not then either you didn't merge config updates like you
should,
I'm not 100% sure I fully understand what you're saying -- do you mean
if I'm not running -stable instead of just -release?
or you're running a system that's old enough that the lack of
snapshot packages isn't a problem.
I am indeed pretty slow to upgrade -- very slow, actually; and yes,
the lack of snapshot updates isn't a problem that affects me. I just
got into this because I curiously tried man dpb after reading Amit's
post and then started digging. (I'm not trying to start an argument
either; I'm just mildly curious and stuff. ;-) Also, I'm planning to
spend more quality time with my OpenBSD box(es) again; I've neglected
them for too long, I'm ashamed :-| to admit. (Of course there are
reasons, but there always are, so yeah...))
Finally, as I've just discovered, if you're actually running
4.9-release, then that mandoc line from undeadly isn't quite correct
anymore either. After downloading/installing the ports tree, the
correct line for 4.9 would be:
mandoc -Tascii /usr/ports/infrastructure/man/man1/dpb.1 | less

Let's once-again answer the original query. 1) The active version of OpenBSD is currently 4.9 2) 5.0 is not out yet. 3) -current is for people who can deal with certain issues, like maybe no packages available. 4) OpenBSD is in the package transition period, between 4.9, 5.0 and -current, and packages can and will be erratic here. (think: -current may have progressed beyond what -release packages can do, sparc and m68k may still be working on completing -release packages) 5) bad packages are probably worse than no packages. 6) There will be times, like now, when packages may not be available.

Depends what we are talking about. If they're hell-bent about building some packages, dpb *is* the shitz for any kind of large packages build. It's what's now used for most (I hope ALL) official builds. In the OpenBSD tradition, I tried really hard to make it very much foolproof: on a virgin machine with a checkout ports tree (that matches your binary), if you run dpb, you will eventually end up with all binary packages normally built by the ports tree. That's right, doesn't need no stinking options, just time (and disk space). In my opinion, it's not more complicated than building ports by hand. It's a bit like a power-saw vs a normal hand-saw. Both will do what you want (cut things). The power-saw will be ways more efficient at it. Both can cut your hands if you're careless. ;-) (then again, dpb has a shitloadz of options, but then it also work on clusters). I did actually notice I forgot to update ports(7) to remove all older text about BULK PACKAGE BUILDING with the old clunky method, instead of pointing people directly towards dpb...
