 I'm trying to decide if I should cram mfid for mfi(4) controllers into
 the src tree or if we should package it up into a ports package.  I
 suspect that either one is acceptible, but it seems to make more sense
 to put it into the src tree since mfiutil is also there.

 Comments?

I agree with placing it into the tree. Mfiutil is a great utility, but
having a monitoring daemon in the tree
would be a great addition.

Same here, though I'd be happy to change this habit if mergemaster
handled the updates for me.


This would be a good solution for source updates, but how would this work
for binary upgrades via freebsd-update, as mergemaster is not used for this
operation.

Dear all,

I try install the amavisd-new for the new mailserver, but the amavisd service 
can't running, I checked in log and there nothing error, I try to deinstall 
amavisd in port (/usr/port/security/amavisd-new) and back to reinstall and not 
success. What can I do for resolving it???



Errors would be good for helping you in resolve this problem, and you may
want to consider following up with freebsd-ports@ on this issue, as you may
yield more feedback, and potentially resolve your issue in a more timely
manner.

Re: listing all modules compiled into a kernel instance

kldstat provides information about components that were loaded
dynamically. If your kernel was built with INCLUDE_CONFIG_FILE option
(enabled by default in GENERIC), then you can see the static
components using:

config -x /boot/kernel/kernel


As has been shown though, kldstat -v actually does show static
components, at least those declared with DRIVER_MODULE(), and config
-x does not improve on the situation at all because components like
ucom were not cited in the configuration file. IMHO, there needs to be a
reliable way to query an existing kernel that yields a _complete_ list
of which components are actually included.

Maybe ucom doesn't appear because it doesn't have a DRIVER_MODULE()

Yes, that would explain it.


I can explicitly include ucom in a kernel by adding device ucom in the
configuration file, in which case it would call DRIVER_MODULE(), right?
That would then make it appear in the kldstat -v list? So why is it a
driver when it's done explicitly, but not a driver when done implicitly?
That makes no sense to me since the functionality doesn't change. IMHO,
this is a bug that needs to be fixed, not just for ucom but any
implicitly included driver.

Who should submit a bug report?


There was a documentation bug that was put in regarding the ucom device, and
it was to update the device name in the documentation.

I don't know if a PR is still required, but this may be worth a look first.
