Re: automating menu options in ports (and other ports build questions)

Excuse me, where exactly do you see compile-time options in the sysinstall program? I know it can select and install packages, but PORTS? What I mean is the OPTIONS variable is what shows up when make config is done (now that I understand it a little better) The menu functionality is provided by the ncurses-based dialog program and defined in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk line 5953 +/- (version 1.692 here). Unfortunately, lots-o-computers but only one screen :-( I know this situation very well. One just _cannot_ be familiar with all the many option names (that sometimes just sound like logorrhea) and that make _no_ sense unless you know what they mean. There are names where the meaning can be concluded, and so the question Do I need it? can be answered; sadly that's not always the case, especially when dealing with modern software and their partially ridiculous naming habits. Or is this a documentation project in the offing? I would welcome a kind of text file that lists all the strange names with a short description of what they are and what you need them for, being more informative than the short one liners in the options dialog. Can someone point me at the code that puts up the menu? See /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk as mentioned above. The dialog program also offers some examples which belong to the base system, see /usr/share/examples/dialog, and of course see man dialog. -- 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

On Thu, 24 May 2012 23:56:02 -0600, Gary Aitken wrote: Is there a way to find out what options a package is built with? I don't think so. A package is just an archive containing truncated subtrees such as bin/, lib/ or man/ of the compiled programs, ready for install into the /usr/local directory. It also contains data files such as +COMMENT, +CONTENTS, +DESC and +MTREE_DIRS. However, if you have installed from a port, the options you have set will be stored in /var/db/ports/name/options. I haven't tested yet if a package that _has_ adjustable options (which obviously have already been adjusted) would create such a directory and file, but I assume it does not, as it seems obvious that those are handled by the port building mechanisms (which aren't in use when you pkg_add something). -- 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
FreeBSD and Diablo III (partial solved)
Hi All, The following instructions allows one to play Diablo III under either i386 or amd64 FreeBSD 9. Unfortunately actually installing the game does not work due to problems with Agent.exe however once installed (from a Windows instance) the game runs well, with 48 hours reported as error free. Special thanks to alphachi for solving and testing the below procedure. Instructions: 1) Install the wine-fbsd64-diablo3[1] package from mediafire[2] (tested using 1.5.4). 2) Choose a directory to have the diablo 3 wine prefix (`export DIABLO=$HOME/diablo3` or `setenv DIABLO $HOME/diablo3`) 3) Install VC++ 2008 Redistribution (`env WINEPREFIX=$DIABLO sh winetricks vcrun2008`)[3] 4) Copy an INSTALLED version of diablo 3 to the wine prefix (hint: use VirtualBox to install the game) 5) Start the game with `env WINEPREFIX=$DIABLO wine Diablo\ III.exe -launch` [4] Regards, [1] MD5 (wine-1.4.x-freebsd9/wine-fbsd64-diablo3-1.4,1.tbz) = 9d327d7cc384cce7317e7c70245b9427 MD5 (wine-1.5.x-freebsd9/wine-fbsd64-diablo3-1.5.4,1.txz) = 250d424f14fa9670396addaaaed8c43e [2] http://www.mediafire.com/wine_fbsd64 [3] http://winetricks.org/winetricks [4] Below is a sample .desktop file for launching diablo 3.

Am I clear enough ? ( sorry English is not my native language ...) That's fine. OK, so you're after basic file system visibility everywhere. You should look at Mehmet Erol Sanliturk's reply as well, he gives useful links. As he said in his post, NFS is the first place to start. It's available on FreeBSD, Linux, Mac OS, other Unix derived systems, and Windows 7. The one thing to be careful of is that it works best when you have all home directories on central servers and all access is on client machines. It is possible to cross mount NFS that machines act as both servers and clients but it has many problems and one server crashing can cause everything to lock up. (Been there, done that, cursed repeatedly.) For earlier ( 7) Windows boxes, one possibility is running Samba on the Unix servers. This would seem most natural to a Windows user as they merely have to browse the network to find the shared file systems. However, another possibility is running a WebDAV server that makes the home directories visible. Windows (= XP) can connect drive letters to WebDAV servers, and there are also Android and iPhone apps that can access WebDAV. This would let smartphone and tablet users get to the shared data, if that's useful. Please note that I use Android but not iOS, so any IOS suggestions are from a quick Google search, not experience. It also seems that you have to pay for the relevant iOS apps. Maybe an iPhone/iPad user can improve on this? I hope this is of some help. Possibly useful links: The handbook chapter on network servers. This covers NFS, Samba and Apache which can be used for WebDAV. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/book.html#NETWORK-SERVERS Wikipedia on WebDAV. This links onwards to all sorts of related resources. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebDAV An Android app that can access WebDAV (and much more besides). This is one I use, but please note that I haven't used it specifically for WebDAV. You may be able to find others but this is well rated. It's got free and paid for versions. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xcxin.filexpert A (paid for) iPhone WebDAV app. Apparently iWork for iOS can also handle WebDAV, but I know nothing about it or its suitability. http://greenbytes.de/dav-e.html ___ 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

Re: question about milter software
I think you'll find Postfix to be much more modern and easy to work with for that kind of message rewriting. But what you're looking for is pretty complicated when you start having to deal with multipart messages; the messages have to be completely processed and separated into respective parts, and then once the rich part is found, you've got to parse the HTML and insert the footer into the right spot, and then recompile the message. And if the message is plain text only, you can't insert HTML and have it be displayed as such. In short, I doubt you'll have much success in doing this well. It would be better to configure this in the email client and lock that down somehow.

Ports-Related Commands Hanging After 9.0 Upgrade
Hi all, Forgive me if this is a repeat topic. I'd appreciate it if somebody could point me to the answer. I recently upgraded to 9.0 on my server, but since then a lot of ports-related commands (portupgrade, pkg_version, portsnap, etc.) just hang when I try to execute them.

ports build and synchronization issues
I've had a number of failures attempting to build things, but on several occasions builds have failed with what looks like may be threading / subprocess synchronization issues. I'm running 9.0-RELEASE on a 4-processor amd64 system w/ 16GB. For example, an attempt to build openoffice-3 failed building package textproc/redland when a dependent package build couldn't find some doc pages. It was trying to build textproc/rasqal and looking for what I think was the open-motif library and couldn't find it because the (open-motif?) install failed because of the doc pages issue. Rerunning make install at the openoffice-3 level still failed at the same point. Going to the dependent text package and doing a make install claimed the package was already installed. make deinstall and make clean install solved the issue. I'm a little fuzzy on the details because I don't have the build output, and used two different windows, one to build and another to check status using pkg_info, etc. Backing up in the command history I have this, which resulted in a complete build: cd openoffice-3 make original failure due to missing doc files make -v install repeated the same failure cd ../../textproc/redlandattempt to build dependent pkg redland make clean make -v install failed on dependent pkg rasqal cd ../rasqal make deinstall begin of successful build of rasqal make clean make install cd ../../textproc/redland make install begin of successful build of redland cd ../../editors/openoffice-3 make install resume successful build of openoffice-3 The original error seems like a synchronization problem between the subprocesses doing the builds.

Re: question about milter software
I think you'll find Postfix to be much more modern and easy to work with for that kind of message rewriting. you are actually wrong in that statement. In spite of hype that postscript started with, i am still using sendmail because it is actually easiest if you learn it. But what you're looking for is pretty complicated when you start having to deal with multipart messages; the messages have to be this is unfortunately true, because i could quickly do myself a filter that would trivially append footer, but it will not work.

Re: Cloud software ?
The access must be easy and possible from as much devices as possible. Am I clear enough ? ( sorry English is not my native language ...) Well, this should reduce the cloud to an sftp-server or - if their stuff isn't security sensitive to an ftp-server. depends on connectivity. If you just want to access small files sometimes then right. or have high speed connections, then SAMBA and NFS is right tool. if you want 1000 users to have their home directories always on their computers but with copy kept centrally, then it would be best to keep it locally and run rsync (for unix users) or syncback under windoze to just synchronize it every day after work. If you need some shared directories but where one person changes data and other reads - then still that solution is great. But if you don't have fast links, operate on directories shared between users where more than one have to write, then something more complex is needed. ___ 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
Re: Cloud software ?
As he said in his post, NFS is the first place to start. It's available on FreeBSD, Linux, Mac OS, other Unix derived systems, and Windows 7. The one thing to be careful of is that it works best when you have all home directories on central servers and all access is on client machines. It is i would strongly recommend serving windows clients with windows protocol (samba), it is just simple and works great For earlier ( 7) Windows boxes, one possibility is running Samba on the Unix servers. This would seem most natural to a Windows user as they merely have to browse the network to find the shared file systems. With windows 7 samba still is far better. And with NFS you will not be able to enforce security without making separate filesystem for each user. However, another possibility is running a WebDAV server that makes the home directories visible. Windows (= XP) can connect drive letters to WebDAV servers, and there are also Android and iPhone apps that can access WebDAV. if really someone needs HTTP based file access (IMHO stupid) because phones require this i would rather set it up parallel to SAMBA and/or NFS ___ 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
Re: Cloud software ?
Am I clear enough ? ( sorry English is not my native language ...) Access is still a bit vague, but security/openvpn may be part of the answer: http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source.html for windows users i would recommend mpd - it provides VPN in windows standard, just use windows add connection, select VPN connection to work and go on. Some months ago, I read about an in-browser implementation of VNC (if I remember correctly), but I didn't store the link. Maybe that is an inspiration? Simple solution for simple people: People love web browsers, and the web is everywhere. So why deal with OS-specific access methods when all they need is a web browser, which is a solution they'll prefer anyway? There are also SSH clients written in Java or JavaScript. if you can make people use unix-only software, this is fine. ___ 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

If you use su - or su root, the effect should be the same. You can always check the success of your operation with the ls -lo command. Without eexamining this behaviour in more detail, how about this approach? Unmount the former system disk and newfs it? That should solve the problem. :-) Thought about that, but I wanted to understand what was going on.

( Personnal PC, Mac, smartphones and tablets ... etc ) There is a couple of cheap ways of doing this. First, download the free version of VMWare ESXi and partition your hardware. Another is to install VirtualBox, a Type-2 HyperVisor. Depending on what you consider a cloud, take a look at Hadoop. Hadoop isn't partitioning hardware but Hadoop and the applications that run on top of Hadoop can give you an interesting view of these technologies and how they can be applied to cloudy data. As for how to get data into/out-of the cloud, let me know how that works. :) Hi Dennis Thank you for that info ! gonna investigate the hadoop way. I have built and managed a couple large hadoop clusters.

why I am upset
Why I am upset but not just me? I am running KDE 4.8 from January on my Linux computer. Now is almost June and we got KDE 4.8 on FreeBSD too. 5 months testing and it works? No. The modern OS for the desktop computer doesn;t works. O.K. OS works but installatoon of 5 months testing of KDE doesn;t. And help? Read /usr/ports/UOPDATING!! I red before I start inastallation but I am not sure if helpers did! Thank you for wasting my time.

Re: ports build and synchronization issues
This was the result of a conflict with building another port at the same time, and is a known issue. See: http://wiki.freebsd.org/IdeasPage#Parallelization_in_the_Ports_Collection On 05/25/12 12:16, Gary Aitken wrote: I've had a number of failures attempting to build things, but on several occasions builds have failed with what looks like may be threading / subprocess synchronization issues. I'm running 9.0-RELEASE on a 4-processor amd64 system w/ 16GB. For example, an attempt to build openoffice-3 failed building package textproc/redland when a dependent package build couldn't find some doc pages. It was trying to build textproc/rasqal and looking for what I think was the open-motif library and couldn't find it because the (open-motif?) install failed because of the doc pages issue. Rerunning make install at the openoffice-3 level still failed at the same point. Going to the dependent text package and doing a make install claimed the package was already installed. make deinstall and make clean install solved the issue. I'm a little fuzzy on the details because I don't have the build output, and used two different windows, one to build and another to check status using pkg_info, etc. Backing up in the command history I have this, which resulted in a complete build: cd openoffice-3 make original failure due to missing doc files make -v install repeated the same failure cd ../../textproc/redlandattempt to build dependent pkg redland make clean make -v install failed on dependent pkg rasqal cd ../rasqal make deinstall begin of successful build of rasqal make clean make install cd ../../textproc/redland make install begin of successful build of redland cd ../../editors/openoffice-3 make install resume successful build of openoffice-3 The original error seems like a synchronization problem between the subprocesses doing the builds. Is anyone else seeing this kind of behavior?
