 I suggest you use the new method of doing bulk builds - pbulk.
 It's a package available at /usr/pkgsrc/pkgtools/pbulk.
 Some documentation on how to use:
 1. http://www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/developer/PbulkBuilding/
 2. /usr/pkgsrc/doc/HOWTO-pbulk
 3. http://wiki.netbsd.se/pbulk-HOWTO
 

Thanks for pointing me at pbulk. It is a bit complex at first
especially if you don't need all the parallel stuff, but it seems to
be working now, [14/354] :-)

Re: amd64 ISO ?

2009-05-20 Thread Antonio Huete Jimenez
Hi Saifi,

As far as I know DFBSD does not provide AMD64 ISOs yet as it is still
development.
If you are interested, you can try amd64 on qemu by using DFBSD's
amd64 testing framework located in test/amd64.

For this, you'll need of course a DFBSD installation and the source tree.

Antonio Huete

 Hi all:

 i'd like to download and try the native AMD64 build ISO image
 of DragonFlyBSD 2.2.x .

 The 2.2.1 download ISO at http://www.dragonflybsd.org/download/

 Can somebody please point me to the download URL ?

Hi Antonio:

Thank you for your reply.

In that case, as per my understanding:

. download dfly 2.2.1 dvd iso for intel

. install dfly 2.2.1 on a i386/intel box

. login as root

. update BINPKG_SITES in /etc/settings.conf

. pkg_add -v scmgit

. cd /usr

. make git-clone

. cd /usr/pkgsrc/emulators/qemu

. make install clean

. cd /usr/src/test/amd64

. http://gitweb.dragonflybsd.org/dragonfly.git/blob/HEAD:/test/amd64/Makefile
  there is just a Makefile

  # make all

. qemu-system-x86_64 -m 900m root.img

Does this look ok to you ?

Additionally, i've the following queries:

 . what do i specify for BINPKG_SITES
 . do i need to create a hdd image using qemu-img to be used as
   hard disk ?
 . dfly 2.2.1 liveCD on startx just seems to hang, so is it a
   better approach to install it first to the disk ?
 . what do i need to do to get the network 'bridge' work ?

Appreciate your replies and suggestions.


thanks
Saifi.

Re: Hammer error?

2009-05-20 Thread Sdävtaker
I will check with the debugger later, but i can tell in advance that i
found the trigger, i could reproduce the error :-)

Machine0 has  standard out of the box hammerFS from installer, used
for 2-3 months, now 30GB in /home, it's a server, it has a public
static IP for his own.
Machine1 fresh install same structure, running in a VM in my home
behind a router, behind a ADSL (Dynamic-ip)
I forwaded the ADSL port 22 to the Machine1, checked my ip address at
the moment and ran:

Machine0# hammer pfs-status /home   //to get shared-uuid
Machine1# hammer pfs-slave /pfs/machine0.home shared-uuid=**
Machine0# hammer mirror-copy /home r...@machine1ipaddress:/pfs/machine0.home
It took a couple of hours (30GB) and sometime in the run the public
address of my ADSL modem changed (not the internat, im still
192.168)
Then i got a hammer.core in my root's home.
I think there is nothing to do about this just do the copy in small
chunks, right?

   A hammer.core could only come from the hammer utility core dumping.
   This wouldn't be a filesystem error but it certainly indicates a bug

   If you haven't updated the sources relative to when the core was

   If you have updated the sources since then you'd have to wait for a new
   core file to be generated for a newly debug-compiled hammer utility to
   match the core file.

       cd /usr/src/sbin/hammer
       make clean
       make obj

i could checkout the WIP (work in progress), but on attempting

This clearly points to the missing .mk files and expeced to be
in '/usr/pkgsrc/mk' directory.

However, i noted that '/usr/share/mk' diretory has the required
.mk files.

My question is - what is the correct way to install the mk

Re: Hammer error?

2009-05-20 Thread Matthew Dillon

:Oh, after retry with the new IP it started in
:transactionid=3D0002 again, is it ok? shouldnt it start where it
:crashed?
:Sdav

This isn't a bug but it is a missing feature.  What is happening is
that the mirror stream is trying to eat too large a chunk (the entire
difference between the slave and the master) in one go, and will
not update the transaction id until the entire chunk is finished.

Because transaction id's do not represent timestamps we need to add
a heuristic to at least the mirror-stream implementation to not
try to do the entire block at once.

We also need to make a slight modificatin to the wire protocol to
allow save points to be sent in the middle of the stream.  Right
now only the mirror-stream protocol can do save-points, since it
is a continuous 2-way connection.  mirror-copy cannot.

Yes, that's the plan.  We aren't going to do anything drastic on Avalon
until Robin's crypto cycle test finishes (The test takes 2 cpu-weeks to
run).  Peter is out of the country as well.  I'm not sure what Justin's
schedule is like.

So it could be a few weeks before Avalon gets reconfigured.

Yes, while booting with dfly 2.2.1 DVD, i realized that this is
harmless as i could proceed with the installation.

However, post installation, on selecting [reboot computer]
option from the installer, a bunch of errors keep scrolling on
the screen endlessly (some stuff related to cd). 

The only way to exit that state is to 'hard reset' the box.

 is mainly the fact that libc's version got bumped, which creates
 problems if mixing packages built using 2.2.x with packages 
 built using 2.3.x.

 Hi:

 Noticed that some of the packages installed from the dfly 2.2.1
 DVD have 'nb' suffixes, for example:

 xconsole-1.0.3nb1
 shared-mime-info-0.51nb2
 rxvt-unicode-8.3nb4

 Two questions here:
  . what does the 'nb' suffix mean ?
  . what is the interpretation of the number after 'nb' ?


 thanks
 Saifi.


Hi Saifi,

I think this 'nb' is a NetBSD convention to their software packages -
pkgsrc which is what DragonFly is using.

Thanks,
