Re: trouble running spamass-milter as spamd

My apologies for taking so long to get back to you. 

Let me first start by saying I do not know much about postfix. 

I emulated your spamass-milter settings on my system, and had no
problems, but after looking even closer at it, it seems to me you might
want to try run sa-spamd with -u spamd, as spamass-milter is behaving as
it ought to.

I hope this helps.

Actually, you don't.  If you read UPDATING you'll find out that I removed
the remmants of the 4.X support from bsd.port.mk.  This was in accordance
with what we had been saying in email for months, and which I specifically
did a HEADSUP for, to ports@, a day earlier.  In particular, I warned
anyone still using 4.X _not_ to track the bsd.port.mk update, or any other
further infrastructure update, and that instead to stay with the
RELENG4_EOL tag.

> Should ports maintainers still be encouraged to support 4.x if it is not

We removed the requirement that maintainers support 4.X many months ago,
and within the past few weeks have been recommending against them spending
any further time on it because of the upcoming update.

Various maintainers have, with portmgr's permission and now encouragement,
been removing the 4.X special-case code from ports in the ports tree to
start simplifying the code.

Summary: you are now using a configuration that we are not supporting.

I'm sorry, but we have been talking about doing this for over a year, on
public lists, to try to cut down the demands that we put on our committers
and maintainers: that they support _four_ branches (three major releases
plus -CURRENT).  This was simply holding us back.

I think you will find that 6.2 is far better for almost every purpose
except high performance on uniprocessor systems, and in the latest work
on -CURRENT, even that is being addressed.

As Kris Kennaway wrote a few weeks ago:

"Now that 4.x is unsupported we will begin to remove the legacy 
support code that has been accumulating for the past 7+ years and 
complicating certain aspects of the ports tree."  "This means that in 
the near future the ports tree will definitely become broken on 4.x 
and older systems."

"Therefore maintainers are also no longer required to provide any form
of support for running their ports on FreeBSD 4.x, and may also remove
any legacy support code at their convenience."

Regardless of what the individual maintainers do to support 4.x, the 
build infrastructure will not support it much longer. This should 
definitely be taken as a "heads up" to upgrade ASAP.

I have a FreeBSD 4.10-REL system here with a still-working ports system,
using the latest ports tree.  Judging from your comment above, this is
impossible, unless I've misunderstood you.

Should ports maintainers still be encouraged to support 4.x if it is not

There is probably some low-hanging fruit which can be fixed for free
just by changing the dependency, but the last time I checked most of
the ports that are still stuck on old versions are there for a reason
(i.e. they do not build or run with the newer version).

It seems most ports work fine with tcl84, and that tcl<84 deps are

Please be aware that FreeBSD 4.11 is no longer supported-- the ports  
framework has been updated in a fashion which is no longer backwards  
compatible with that version of the OS, so you're going to be rolling  
your own software from here on out if you want to stay with that  
version.


1) a while back i stopped being able to make my own ports index  
because of a
bunch of gstreamer-plugins that wouldn't let me "make index" so i  
started

having to "make fetchindex" instead.


Sometimes this happens when people don't download the entire,  
complete port tree.


Other times, the dependency tree for the Index really is  
broken...normally, the committers will fix it shortly so re-updating  
your ports tree a day later will let you rebuild the index locally.


It's a moot point now, however.

2) when i look at "portversion" outputs it seems as though it  
doesn't really
know what versions are in the ports tree -- many ports have been  
updated and
it doesn't seem to think so. When i ran portupgrade on said ports  
it worked

just fine -- just portversion didn't know what was going on.


Try running "pkgdb -Fu".

3) today i stopped being able to build php4 -- i get the following  
error

that stops the upgrade:

ext/standard/basic_functions.lo(.text+0x1507): undefined reference to
`getopt_long'

Anybody have an idea on how i can fix the situation? The only one that
really sucks is the last problem -- the other two i can live with  
although

it'd be nice to fix them too.


getopt_long is part of the standard C library under 5.x and later,  
but is not present in 4.x.


If you can't update to a more recent version of FreeBSD, try  
installing the /usr/ports/devel/libgnugetopt port and convince PHP to  
build against it.

On January 31st, FreeBSD 4.11 and earlier releases will have reached 
its End of Life dates and will no longer be supported by the FreeBSD 
Ports Team. Users are encouraged to upgrade to FreeBSD 6.2.

Compatibility with 4.x has been removed from most of the ports.

csup/cvsup has the nice feature of not touching files that shouldn't

The various Tcl and Tk versions do have incompatible changes in the
interfaces and in the command syntax.
It is very much like Berkeley DB - you have several versions, too. You
have to rewrite your program to support more (or newer) Tcl versions.
The idea on the current implementation in the FreeBSD ports tree is to
stay compatible with older tcl scripts and libraries, too.

But the structure of the supporting bsd.tcl.mk is very old and does not
suit the needs of current applications anymore.
Another recent issue is the handling of threaded and non-threaded
versions of Tcl 8.4 and 8.5. The current implementation ist just a
workaround, so that applications
that explicitly require a threaded Tcl build can use it. A threaded Tcl
build is 100% compatible to a non-threaded Tcl. As far as I know,
threaded Tcl 8.4 builds and runs on
all common FreeBSD architectures. A very clean and good solution would
to have a threaded Tcl only.  I will test this against all libraries
from the FreeBSD ports that extend Tcl to check if they work with the
threaded version correctly.

I am working with miwi@ on a new implementation of bsd.tcl.mk
A first working version can be viewed under:
http://www.matuska.org/martin/cgi/viewvc.cgi/ports/Mk/bsd.tcl.mk

The final version will probably be different - the threading part might
be removed completely in favour of using threaded tcl by default.

Gfortran migration status is now `stablize'

2007-03-14 Thread Maho NAKATA
Dear maintainers (who uses/have used FORTRAN in your ports)

According to http://people.freebsd.org/~maho/gfortran/gfortran.html ,
gfortran migration is almost done. Except for ports/science/hdf, 
and still there are some build issues. I'd like to move the status to
stabilize and wait for ~one month.

After the stabilization period is over, we are planning to add a knob like
USE_FORTRAN=yes [gfortran42(default), gfortran43, ifort, g95, gfortran41, f77, 
g77-34]
and change the Makefile again for simpler Makefile.

To do so, I must change some of /usr/port/Mk/*.mk files beforehand, and I'll
announce again when we are ready.

Discussion for changes are very welcome.

BTW: I'll be unavailable until mid of April. I'm too busy in these days.
Hope I can answer your e-mails immediately.

Greg: your port is broken for FreeBSD 7, so we should add something...but I as 
wrote,
your port doesn't build for me. So I cannot check. Help is really appreciated.

Many thanks for your patience, and cooperation.
All the best,
-- Nakata Maho ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

Possibly unbuildable ports reminder

2007-03-14 Thread Bill Fenner
Dear porters,

  This is just a reminder to please periodically check the list of
unbuildable ports at http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/ .
A list by MAINTAINER is

http://people.freebsd.org/~fenner/errorlogs/

so you can easily check the status of ports that you maintain.  In
addition, the list of ports with no MAINTAINER with build problems is

http://people.freebsd.org/~fenner/errorlogs/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Since no one is responsible for these ports, the problem won't get
fixed unless someone on this list takes the initiative.

Thanks for your help!
