install -v

Hi! Some install(1) tools have a -v (verbose) option that describes what they did, and some software uses it. FreeBSD supports it too. I'd like to add this to NetBSD's install(1). I based the changes on FreeBSD's version. Please review & comment! Thanks, Thomas Index: install.1

log2l() missing

Hi! py-numpy can't be updated to 1.24.x because it wants to use log2l() but NetBSD doesn't provide it. Even worse, the definition even exists in /usr/include/math.h, so a configure check that only looks in the headers might find that. I found

grep -r: add default "."

Hi! I often forget the "." at the end of my 'grep -r'. GNU grep automatically adds it, i.e.: # grep -r foo # is the same as # grep -r foo . # The grep we have in NetBSD recognizes that something is wrong, but is not that helpful: # grep -r foo grep: warning: recursive search of stdin (stops

unhide reallocarray

hi! Some years ago, NetBSD got reallocarray. But it is hidden in an ifdef. (from stdlib.h) #ifdef _OPENBSD_SOURCE ... void*reallocarray(void *, size_t, size_t); #endif reallocarray() will now be part of the next POSIX release: https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1218 So I'd like to

vndconfig vs mount_cd9660

Hi! I wanted to mount an ISO image (on 9.99.77/amd64), so I did, following the guide: # vnconfig -c vnd0 file.iso # mount -t cd9660 /dev/vnd0a /mnt mount_cd9660: /dev/vnd0a on /mnt: Invalid argument # mount -t cd9660 /dev/vnd0d /mnt mount_cd9660: /dev/vnd0d on /mnt: Invalid argument but that

Hi! There is a weekly script on ftp.NetBSD.org that downloads mirrors all distfiles currently used by pkgsrc. In the past few weeks I've seen regular hangs, always when fetching ruby gems. The hangs from the last two weeks look like this (in ps): pkgmastr 18764 0.0 0.0 33012 4748 ?

I'm sorry, I totally do not get it the problem with -- in general -- writing the code in such a way that it properly frees any allocations it made. I suspect there will be corner cases where it will be really hard, and we can discuss those separately. But discussing about adding a free() in ps?
