I would love to see Larcency in pkgsrc too. On further investigation, my build was racket-5.2 from my last round of pkgsrc builds (~approx 1/2012 pkgsrc tree), and not the latest 5.3 Indeed the graphical 5.2 version did build completely, including documents, packaging, etc - I've put my (patched) pkgsrc lang/racket subtree in: http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~cat/racket-5.2/ in case any of the patches might be of assistance and am currently uploading the actual package to the same directory As for 5.3, I'll be working on another round of local-bulks in the coming weeks, so if you don't manage to get it sorted out by then, I'll review and take a crack at the 5.3 version whenever I get to that. If you're itching for a copy of my larceny build or notes let me know and I can post those for the time being. In other scheme porting misc, there is a patch in ypsilon bugs for DF support (#150), and chibi scheme now has DF support as well (bug #122) Also hope to get these all pkgsrcified eventually as well.

Fixed - thanks for the report. Pkgsrc used to default to /etc/mk.conf a while ago but now uses /usr/pkg/etc/mk.conf. The documentation wasn't yet updated. By the way, is it a good idea to disable the threads' option when building the applications on the machine with such a small amount of memory as mine has? I'm not sure about the exact meaning of this option - where can I get any description of it (as well as any other options)? Generally I wouldn't mess with the options unless you're 100% sure you want to disable it. To find out what it does, check the Makefile or options.mk file in the package directory and if it's not well documented, you'll need to see how the options affect the build process and dig in the package's source to see what this implies. The pkgsrc guide is quite good: http://www.netbsd.org/docs/pkgsrc/ and aside from this and the makefiles, perhaps check the CVS history. see also: http://pkgsrc.se for a nice web interface And also, the question about kernel build failure remains - I would appreciate any input on that case as well. Can you build GENERIC with a stock /etc/make.conf? If not, checkout a fresh source tree try a clean build. if so - you'll need to be making your kernel config file available and any build flags used if you want someone to try to fix. This particular error looks to be related to changing the VISUAL_USERCONFIG and can be found fairly simply by checking the file in question at the line where the build fails - the entire function is ifdef'ed out based on this option.. so - looks like this option is required most likely (I'm not 100%) Really - if you're making a custom kernel config and are changing options without checking what they do in the source tree - expect things to fail both in the build and while running, and expect to get your hands dirty - which means reading the source and finding out what the options do to the code. In other words - by continuing down the (unsupported) low memory path, with a custom kernel config, you've essentially become the 'low memory tester / developer' - and so will need to do 'tester/developer like things' if you want to make progress.. Hope this doesn't come across too harshly - the goal isn't to yell but to try and describe what I think is the reality on this thread for whatever that's worth. Cheers good luck! - Chris

Can I use this and get the same IP address that I'm supposed to get with pppd and pptp? Do I have to log in as root? Pierre Oh Man. This is a can of worms :D opening. carefully. anyone feel free to chime in and correct me where I am wrong :D Basically - VPN is a generic term for an encrypted network tunnel, with many possible technologies - simple SSH/SSL tunnels, IPSEC tunnels, PPTP, OpenVPN, and others. PPP is the 'point to point' protocol - which can be used for setting up a variety of network links, most often modems / ISDN / T1+ lines but also other various configurations such as GSM modems, wide-area fiber optic links, etc. In DragonFly we have 2x implementations of PPP - one, 'ppp' which runs as a userland tool on top of the tun/tap device, another, pppd which runs in kernel space. There is also a netgraph(3) implementation of PPP - I don't recall if this is separate from the 'pppd' kernel version or used to support it . The ppp one is a bit easier to setup/debug due to the nifty command shell it has, but is slower performing than pppd due to the user-kernel data copying requirements. The 'ppp' (userland) version of PPP is common across the BSD's and differs from a different 'ppp' (userland) version which was implemented for linux with different commands, configuration, etc - however, all speak 'PPP'. PPP is a serial communications protocol, and as such is often setup over terminal lines (such as a dialup modem tty, etc) - it appears that the ssh-ip-tunnel package uses the 'dial up tty' portion of SSH in combination with the '/usr/sbin/pppd' (kernel mode) package. Keeping in mind that the package is in pkgsrc and requires kernel features - the netbsd kernel mode pppd package has common ancestry with the netbsd kernel mode version and so the ssh-ip-tunnel might work for setting up these kinds of vpn's using the dragonfly kernel-mode pppd implementation. However, PPTP is a specific and somewhat standardized method / protocol of tunneling PPP (point to point) traffic over an existing IP infrastructure and as such you will need a PPTP implementation to connect to the remote end. As the pptp package is the client only one, this is the one you'll need to use - the freebsddiary post is a bit confusing because it defines the pptp configuration file as ppp.conf - however, whatever the file is called it needs to be called using the pptp program. Usually / generically speaking for VPN's in general there is some primary connection which is established to negotiate the configuration of the actual tunneled connection - the exact specifics of the negotiation and what authentication is required will vary according to the given setup / choice of VPN technology and other administrator settings - again not being versed in PPTP and your particular situation, I can't say what this might mean for your case, e.g. root, dialup, foo, etc. Hope this clears things up a bit / somewhat.

As I take it - hal is a gnome related hardware layer so e.g. gnome applications can do things like mounth thumbdrives, etc without needing to directly interface to the underling os - whereas udev is the actual linux devfs implementation - though I haven't dug into gnome lately so maybe theres a gnome udev as well these days.. or ?? dragonfly has its own devfs implementation - I'm not sure what the gnome VFS layer uses to interact with this .. And which version of Gnome is avaible ? This depends on which version of pkgsrc you are tracking - if you're wanting to use binary packages we typically follow the latest stable branch - http://pkgsrc.se/x11/gnome-desktop shows that pkgsrc-CURRENT is at 2.32 and the last few pkgsrc stable branches have been at 2.30+ The various makefiles used in the pkgsrc tree should give you an idea of the build options selected.

It looks something like em driver (perhaps btw v6-7 of the intel rev?)
grew into the e1000 driver, with pcie support - and a 'legacy' em(4)
driver - subsequent updates? were made to the e1000/*em* items,
such as adding more chips -
Our e1000/em contains what apppears to be the needed items for this card:
em0@pci0:0:25:0:class=0x02 card=0x80001025 chip=0x10f08086

0},
(the 0x10F0 being the relavent bits)
which are not in the 'live' sys/dev/netif/em driver -
however, this copy of 'em' (sys/dev/netif/e1000/em) is not linked
into the build - whereas the sys/dev/netif/em copy is.
I was able to :
cd sys/dev/netif/e1000/em wmake
to get a clean 'if_em.ko' - no idea if this will probe/attach/send packets
and so on..
So - Siju - feel free to build that and test I suppose -
not sure where to take it from here w/r/t 'em' development - either
to disable / merge in the relavent bits of sys/dev/netif/em to e1000/em,
or the other way around, etc..
my thoughts would be to use the new copy - however it does appear
that someone at some point took the time to cleanly separate the phy
stuff, into that 'ig_hal' etc- so maybe this was overlooked when e1000
was added, I dunno.. (see history, above :D )

Assuming you have access to the VM console (sounds like) - try running /usr/sbin/sshd -D -ddd on the server side and ssh -v on the client side and see if that shows anything obvious.. also maybe check the host firewall?

Re: Tor and Polipo

I installed the Tor package, made a few changes to the torrc, forwarded a port, and was up and running. Firefox installed Torbutton by just clicking on a link. The missing part is Polipo. I can download and install it from source, but there is no package in pkgin or pkgsrc. How come Tor is in pkgsrc but not Polipo? my guess would be because noone has simply done it! there is squid - although it looks like polipo might be easier to configure - unless theres some other feature I'm overlooking?

I *highly* recommend a jail or a simple chroot for this, if you're not using such a procedure already.

I usually setup a chroot, backup any important user files, and then 'mount null' my /home so that my data is in synch between the two (its a little annoying to copy files inout) DISPLAY=:0 is your friend in these cases if using a mixed old new setup - e.g: chroot /path/to/chroot DISPLAY=:0 gui-app-under-test the instructions in jail(8) for building jails work for chroots as well - just chroot /path to enter instead of starting the jail.. you might need to mount devfs as well - I'm not sure if this is needed - dont recall off hand also - some things like gnome apps, etc. might not have their 'proper' environment (e.g. dbus, etc) to display fonts, etc. properly - keep that in mind if testing.
