Yep. This would stick a fairly hefty spanner in the works.
Considering the vast number of files in /usr/local/bin with links to
missing libraries I think my best approach now will be to deinstall ALL
my ports and reinstall them again from scratch after deleting
everything in /usr/ports/packages and checking that all directories
in /usr/local (except etc) have been emptied.
This also is a good move. Don't forget to treat /compat/linux similarly
to /usr/local if you have any linux stuff installed -- there have been a
lot of changes to the linuxulator newly available in 8.0 which you really
want if you're going to run linux stuff under emulation. If you strip out
/compat/linux completely, then under 8.0 you'll get the latest linux-base-f10
by default when you re-install.
When reinstalling ported software, it's a good idea to adopt the following
strategies:
* Install whatever ports management software you prefer (portupgrade(1),
portmaster(1)) pretty much straight away -- you'll need this to build
everything.
* Look at the list of installed packages on your 6.4 install, and pick
out the packages that are your end-use applications. These will mostly
be leaf packages, but not always.
* You only need to reinstall just those packages -- everything else should
be installed automatically as dependencies. This will help you avoid
installing and outdated build dependencies or otherwise orphaned packages
which otherwise tend to accumulate on an actively updated system.
* For the end-use packages you choose, run 'make config-recursive' before
you start building anything to ensure you've selected all the required
options. Or use portmanager(1) which runs you through the config stage
first of all. You need to be a bit careful doing this, as toggling an
option in a port can radically change its dependency list, and may bring
new sets of options into play. To resolve that, you'll need to re-run
'make config-recursive' until it no longer prompts you to make any
OPTIONS settings. [There's a PR to fix this behaviour in the works, but
it hasn't been committed yet.]
* Where there are ports that have compilation flags or knobs that aren't
controlled through OPTIONS dialogues, then be sure to record any non-
default settings in /etc/make.conf. You can use a construct like this
to only apply settings to specific ports:
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/mail/dkim-milter}
WITH_LIBDKIM_INSTALL= yes
WITH_LIBDKIM_SHARED=yes
WITH_VERIFY_DOMAINKEYS= yes
WITH_STATS= yes
WITH_DNS_UPGRADE= yes
.endif
Well known KNOBS should be set globally where you aren't using the
default setting, eg:
WITH_OPENSSL_PORT= yes
WITH_BDB_VER= 47
WITH_MYSQL_VER= 51
WITH_OPENLDAP_VER= 24
WANT_OPENLDAP_SASL= yes
WITH_GECKO= libxul
WITH_APACHE2= yes
APACHE_PORT=www/apache22
WITH_MODPERL2= yes
PERL_VERSION= 5.10.1
Again, changing these settings can affect the dependency tree and
potentially bring new sets of OPTIONS into play, so test repeatedly
with 'make config-recursive'
* It's a good idea to run 'make fetch-recursive' or 'portinstall -RF ...'
or 'portmaster -F ...' after sorting out configuration to download any
distfiles before trying to build everything, as this is another place
where a big build session can blow up while you aren't looking. It's
not mandatory though.
* Once everything is configured nicely, it should be possible to just
run a massive portupgrade(1) or portmaster(1) session unattended to
build and install everything, without finding that 10 minutes after
you went home the build stopped at an OPTIONS screen and sat there all
night... In fact, it is well worth temporarily defining BATCH in
make.conf or the environment to just accept the defaults for anything
not yet configured during a big build job like this. (But not otherwise.
BATCH isn't a good idea for an incremental upgrade IMHO.)
If you follow these guidelines when installing the system you should find
that not only does it make your initial install run smoothly, but it sets
you up well for managing updates to the installed system in the future.

Matthew

There's a $mysql_socket rc.conf variable you need to set as well.
Settings in rc.conf
mysql_enable=YES
mysql_limits=YES
mysql_dbdir=/disk02/db/mysql/DATA
mysql_args=
mysql_socket=/usr/tmp/mysql.sock
(Although if /usr/tmp is set to mode 1777, what's the benefit of using that
location rather than the default /tmp/mysql.sock ?)
In my.cnf file
[client]
socket=/usr/tmp/mysql.sock
[mysqld]
socket=/usr/tmp/mysql.sock
Is this the only my.cnf file on the system? There are several places
where MySQL will pick up a my.cnf file: directly from the mysql_dbdir
or /usr/local/etc/my.cnf [The rc.d/mysql-server script automatically
adds ${mysql_dbdir}/my.cnf to the list of locations]
Judging by the complaints about 'update log no longer supported' I'm
guessing that there is somewhere a my.cnf or a .my.cnf file filled with
configuration settings appropriate to a much earlier version of MySQL.
A good strategy is to grab one of the sample .cnf files from
/usr/local/share/mysql (according to the capabilities of your server)
copy that into ${mysql_dbdir}/my.cnf and edit to make any local
customizations.

Matthew

I don't know what official policy is (if such a thing exists), but my experience with FreeBSD ports is that while they install things, the user must still explicitly enable them. So if might be a good idea to set the defaults to NO and include a pkg-message that instructs people to add the enabling lines in /etc/periodic.conf.local I'm also wondering about the name of the port.

They use much the same libraries. Mencoder does H.264 encoding very well, But ffmpeg2theora gives _much_ smaller files with good quality.

You have:
: ${daily_sa_compile=YES}
sa-compile is installed by the SA port, but it requires devel/re2c,
which is an optional dependency. With a standard install your script
will update the rules, the compile will unconditionally fail, and so
spamd won't get restarted.
You could detect the re2c port, but I think it would be better to turn
it off by default
I'd also suggest running sa-compile with nice by default.

I've put up a set of diffs (patches) in shar format that address some of
these issues:
1) re2c is listed as a run dependency. No two ways around it - if you do
plan on running sa-compile at some time, you'll need re2c, and chances are
that the machine that is running sa-update is also going to be running
sa-compile.
2) sa-compile is nice(1)'d by default, and you can provide other flags to
nice(1) as well.

How to confirm hard drive ufsid before upgrade?
Hello. I recently upgraded 7 remote servers from FreeBSD 7.2 to 8.0. During the process, 3 servers had hard drive ufsid issues. Basically during the reboot between 7.2 to 8.0, the drive ids 'changed'. I'm using ufsids in fstab. All servers have two SCSI drives, but have all been set-up by different people that have come from a Linux background. I can only assume they have used different commands and methods to format the drives. I'm assuming this issue is related to GEOM_ changes, however it is not very clear how to prevent this from happening (I'm sure I'm missing something). I have one more machine to go which is a lot more critical than the others and do not wish to have this one down for as long as the others where. It took about 6 hours to get the tech guys at the other end to get 2 of the boxes back up, the other one was easy to get up, but all data was 'lost' on one drive and had to be restored from a back-up. -Tig ___ 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

Unless there are any killer bugs, I'll send-pr(1) in a week or so. Thanks for doing that. It looks great to me. I just wonder about it being enabled by default. I don't know what official policy is (if such a thing exists), but my experience with FreeBSD ports is that while they install things, the user must still explicitly enable them. Yes. I considered that myself. There's no clear standard followed by other ports installing periodic scripts -- some are enabled by default, others aren't. In the end I went for having it on by default as installing it does indicate a desire to run it. It's no big deal to switch it around though. So if might be a good idea to set the defaults to NO and include a pkg-message that instructs people to add the enabling lines in /etc/periodic.conf.local Sure. That's no problem. I'm also wondering about the name of the port. This really is only one utility. That's just future proofing... Anyway, those are trivial concerns. The substance of your port all looks very good to me. Excellent. Thank you very much. I've a small cosmetic change -- it needs to print a blank line before anything else -- and apart from the enabled by default or not question, I need to force it to do a rules update somehow, so that code path gets tested properly.
