Re: OpenBSD sendfile

[Bogdan Andu]

Most likely...
I tried to apply the patches from yaws ports dirbut the version 2.0 of yaws 
is to new and the patches failed.
I'll send a report to Yaws people.
Thanks for help.

Sendfile support IS optional, from the include.mk:

ifeq ($(HAVE_SENDFILE),true)
  ERLC_GENERIC_FLAGS += -DHAVE_SENDFILE
endif

ifeq ($(HAVE_ERLANG_SENDFILE),true)
  ERLC_GENERIC_FLAGS += -DHAVE_ERLANG_SENDFILE
endif

So check what is happening and send a report to YAWS if sendfile seems
to be mandatory on OpenBSD, as then there is a bug in the makefile
generation.

it does not list OpenBSD.

OpenBSD does not have sendfile, so it only provides a simulation.

For Haskell programms.

Running linux in production is not an option, for me at least.

I was surprised too. They put it recently into deps tree.

Is disabled at run time, but is required 
at compile time..
I have scrambled the Makefiles and rebar.configs 
and rebar.config.scripts and got rid of sendfileand compiles and runs fine on 
OpenBSD (amd64/5.7)
So, basically I have a non-sendfile-Yaws tree. Hurray!

I'm surprised Yaws needs it though, from what it says on their website
it looks optional.

Report that to the Yaws project.  They should not make themselves dependent
on features that are optional for Erlang and system dependent.

Re: OpenBSD sendfile

[Bogdan Andu]

There is a general "mantra" many apps havenot just yaws, that real oses that
realy matterand make a difference are regarded as secondhand citizens(do it
yourself if u really need it) forthe simple fact that are no so "popular".On
the low end of the spectrum are those popular osesthat are supported in a
right out-of-the box manner.
Erlang peolpe were supposed to be Unix(ok, Sun) people.What happend with this
linuxcentrism?
Even if I make a report , the Makefiles are so polluted with sendfilethat I
dont see anybody to take change them.

If one needs this linux-like crap, sendfile,and cannot disable it, how is he 
suppose to handle it?

Is the application you're using written in haskell?
