how do i automate building packages?
How do I build tarballs of packages that usually wind up in /usr/ports/packages? I thought I had something in /etc/make.conf, but nope. My build of OOo [311] recently finished on my new to-be server. Since both the new Dell and this older Dell are running 7.2, I figure I can do any builds and move the packages across. I thought I had seen foo.tgz in /usr/ports/bar/foo/; but this time, no expected tarball. --??-- A man ports isn't very clear. I usually type make install clean when I build anything. If I have to start over from scratch with openoffice would I type # make install package clean?

amd64: building lib32 with ccache ?
Hey everyone, Yesterday I wanted to update my system currently running 8.0-RC1 amd64 to the latest 8-STABLE release. However buildworld failed. I found out the problem seems to pop up when trying to build the lib32 libraries. If I build lib32 without ccache everything on itself everything seems to go fine. However when using ccache, even with a clean cache, the build fails.

Oh, I regret this. GPT partitions seem to me to be much more powerful than the old MBR. Hope we can get GPT support/replacement soon. Also, I didn't think that bsdlabel was limited to 8 partitions, however I'm not certain. Manpage of bsdlabel(8) tells us that it can hold 8 entries in the partitioning table. I'm not quite sure, but months ago I read something about a change/patch allowing up to 26 entries (limitation to the alphabet). Days ago I installed a fresh new FreeBSD 8 on a new harddisk to get rid of some legacy geometry errors. I was wondering why still the a - h-label constraint in bsdlabel was still present. BTW gpart does many partition types not just MBR and GPT.

Tunning 8.0 for multiple VMs (VBox)
Hi to all; I have a system where I will be running 5 VBox VMs (3 W2K3, 1 XP 1 Linux) for a lab simulation (work obligations). I have already ran the 5 VMs with a regular load on each and everything went fine. I think VBox is truly a great VM Manager, and it runs better (smoother and faster) in FBSD than in any other OS I tried it (Ubuntu, Winblows and OpenSolaris (!) ). Along the years, I've been running FBSD, picking up info from any Tuning FreeBSD guide I could find, starting with the handbook of course, going through articles and mailing list archives, trying to find a balance that would fit my desktop, among the several roles FreeBSD is used for. I would like to expose the hardware/settings I have now to the list, to see if what I've done is appropriate, over or under rated (or simply stupid), to squeeze every drop of performance FreeBSD can give with what I have. It is pretty fast as it is but it never hurts attempting to make it even better. Please bear 2 things in mind: 1) I am trying to learn here; 2) This is a Desktop machine (not a server!), sitting on my home LAN, behind a properly configured (again, to the best of my modest ability) firewall. It is used for everyday tasks, plus developing and music production. I am posting what I believe to be most relevant. Thank you all before hand for any advice.

It will remove all the packages from your system that contain cups in their name. If you're a bit unsure for such a drastic method, remove the CUPS packages separately, e. g. # pkg_delete -f cups-base-1.2.3.4 # pkg_delete -f cups-foobar-5.6.7.8 ... Using -f makes sure that you don't have to pay attention to the order of removal, or packages that depend on CUPS. Another way is to enter the CUPS port directory and issue the command # make deinstall Then you can continue in that port directory with # make reinstall if you've already updated your ports source tree. The new version of CUPS will then be installed that way. Of course, there's nothing wrong with using the precompiled packages that you can add with the pkg_add -r mechanism. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Sorting a device list
Can anyone recommend a quick and dirty way to sort a device list? For example, if I do this: ls /dev/ad* | sort I get something like this: /dev/ad10 /dev/ad4 /dev/ad6 /dev/ad8 I can add -g, but it doesn't help: ls /dev/ad* | sort -g /dev/ad10 /dev/ad4 /dev/ad6 /dev/ad8 I need to skip the device prefix before applying the -g option. Something like this works: ls /dev/ad*|sort -g -k 1.8 /dev/ad4 /dev/ad6 /dev/ad8 /dev/ad10 but this assumes the device name is just two characters long.

8.0-RELEASE and dangerously dedicated disks
Can someone elaborate on what exactly this statement in the 8.0 detailed release notes means? http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.0R/relnotes-detailed.html#FS 2.2.5 File Systems “dangerously dedicated” mode for the UFS file system is no longer supported. Important: Such disks will need to be reformatted to work with this release. Due to history I won't go into, all my production (currently 7.2-RELEASE) systems are installed onto dangerously dedicated disks. What exactly do I need to do to upgrade them to 8.0? (I'm not asking for an upgrade procedure, I'm familiar with that, but rather, how this change impacts the upgrade.) I think that the suggestion that the disks need to be reformatted is extreme and I hope something less extreme will suffice. Also, just to be clear, does this statement refer to boot disks, data disks, or both? It doesn't make sense to me that dangerously dedicated could have an impact on UFS filesystems specifically. A partition table is just a partition table, regardless of what filesystems might be written on disks, yes? Am I misunderstanding something here?

Mail not working
Greetz to all. I've never been able to get a mail server working on my FreeBSD installation. While I recently upgraded to 8.0-RELEASE, it hasn't worked since my initisl 7.0-RELEASE installation. This is not a major server, so I haven't fussed with it up to now. But, I would like to finally fix it. I've tried various combinations of postfix and sendmail, but all have failed. It doesn't matter to me whether I run postfix or sendmail, though I have far more experience with sendmail.

ANNOUNCE: FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE Custom XFCE build available
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hey all, After the successful release of 8.0, I am pleased to announce that I have updated my little project here: http://freebsd-custom.wikidot.com to provide an XFCE DVD based on the new release.

It will become available in 7-10 days. Note this release includes the latest openoffice 3.1.1 as well as abiword / gnumeric for those who prefer them. Gnash has been dropped (linux flash plugin works very well now) and avant-window-navigator is also included (but is untested). Latest versions of well known packages (gimp, inkscape, evince, firefox35 etc) are included as well. This is the same selection of packages as the ones included in the 8.0-RC1 version of the iso, but they are of course updated to the latest versions.

The usual arrangement is to turn off sendmail and enable postfix from /etc/rc.conf by the following: sendmail_enable=NO sendmail_submit_enable=NO sendmail_outbound_enable=NO sendmail_msp_queue_enable=NO postfix_enable=YES Then you should be able to start postfix by: # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postfix start although you'll have to make sure the instance you started as a pseudo-sendmail is killed first.

problem with Olympus USB camera on 8.0 RELEASE
The camera in question is an Olympus C-2040Z, I've had no problems using it with 6.4. I tried rev. 7 some time ago but plugging the camera in always caused a panic and crash so I stayed with 6.4. Now that 8.0 is out I'd like to move on and the good news is that with 8.0 I can connect the camera without a panic but the bad news is that although the system detects the camera I'm not able to access it. On plugging in the camera I see the following console messages: ugen0.2: OLYMPUS at usbus0 umass0: OLYMPUS C-2040ZOOM, class 0/0, rev 1.10/1.00, addr 2 on usbus0 umass0: SCSI over (unknown 0x00); quirks = 0x0100 umass0: could not setup required transfers, USB_ERR_INVAL device_attach: umass0 attach returned 6 ... and camcontrol devlist returns nothing at all I only see this problem with this particular camera, 2 other USB devices (Nikon Coolpix 3100 and Canon iP4500 printer) can be accessed OK.

HighPoint RR 2640 support in 8.0-RELEASE?
Hello everyone, I recently upgraded to 8, and purchased a HighPoint RocketRAID 2640 card. Sadly I had remembered incorrectly that this was supported by either the hptrr or hptiop driver, and instead it seems to only be supported by a binary driver from HighPoint. However, the latest release of the driver is for 7.2, and although it kldload's correctly, I see in dmesg: module_register_init: MOD_LOAD (pci/rr26xx, 0x805a92e0, 0x81145ca0) error 22 rr26xx: RocketRAID 26xx controller driver v1.0.08.1230 (Jul 9 2009 13:58:26) rr26xx: no controller detected. it does not seem to work.
