install fails because / is not writeable
Once in a while a port fails to upgrade, because it wants to write something in /etc. E.g. perl into /etc/make.conf or other ports into /etc/group. On my systems / is normally a read only mount. These ports build fine during a portupgrade and fail during install, leaving most of the port installed, but unregistered (i.e. the package database is broken). I think such ports should set something like USE_WRITE_SLASH=yes and refuse to install if / is not writeable. ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
FreeBSD ports that you maintain which are currently marked broken
Dear FreeBSD port maintainer: As part of an ongoing effort to reduce the number of problems in the FreeBSD ports system, we are attempting to notify maintainers of ports that are marked as broken in their Makefiles. In many cases these ports are failing to compile on some subset of the FreeBSD build environments. The most common problem is that recent versions of -CURRENT include gcc3.4, which is much stricter about such things as function declarations, literal strings constants that continue over several physical lines, and forcing the deprecation of antique header files such as varargs.h (we should now be using stdargs.h). The next most common problem is that compiles succeed on the i386 architecture (e.g. the common Intel PC), but fail on one or more of the other architectures due to assumptions about things such as size of various types, byte-alignment issues, and so forth. In occasional cases we see that the same port may have different errors in different build environments. The script that runs on the build cluster uses heuristics to try to 'guess' the error type to help you isolate problems, but it is only a rough guide. If you need help in one or more build environments that you do not have access to, please ask for help on the freebsd-ports mailing list. One more note: on occasion, there are transient build errors seen on the build farm. Unfortunately, there is not yet any way for this algorithm to tell the difference (humans are much, much better at this kind of thing.) The errors are listed below. In the case where the same problem exists on more than one build environment, the URL points to the latest errorlog for that type. (By 'build environment' here we mean 'combination of 4.x/5.x/6.x with target architecture'.) (Note: the dates are included to help you to gauge whether or not the error still applies to the latest version. The program that generates this report is not yet able to determine this automatically.) portname: audio/prokyon3 broken because: Does not compile build errors: http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/i386-errorlogs/e.7.2007041501/prokyon3-0.9.2_2.log (Apr 20 09:24:59 UTC 2007) http://pointyhat.FreeBSD.org/errorlogs/amd64-errorlogs/e.5.2007042518/prokyon3-0.9.2_2.log (Apr 19 23:07:37 UTC 2007) overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=audioportname=prokyon3 portname: chinese/xemacs broken because: Does not build even with fix for -lxpg4 build errors: http://pointyhat.FreeBSD.org/errorlogs/amd64-errorlogs/e.5.2007042804/zh-xemacs-20.4_2.log (Apr 29 04:49:44 UTC 2007) overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=chineseportname=xemacs portname: databases/postgis-jdbc broken because: Does not build build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=databasesportname=postgis-jdbc portname: ftp/junglemonkey broken because: Does not build build errors: http://pointyhat.FreeBSD.org/errorlogs/sparc64-errorlogs/e.6.2007011603/junglemonkey-0.1.11_4.log (Jan 23 21:34:09 UTC 2007) http://pointyhat.FreeBSD.org/errorlogs/amd64-errorlogs/e.5.2007042804/junglemonkey-0.1.11_5.log (Apr 29 07:59:25 UTC 2007) overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=ftpportname=junglemonkey portname: games/hlserver-cs broken because: Incomplete fetch instructions build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=gamesportname=hlserver-cs portname: games/hlserver-dod broken because: Incomplete fetch instructions build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=gamesportname=hlserver-dod portname: japanese/lynx broken because: Leaves behind config file on deinstall build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=japaneseportname=lynx portname: multimedia/ogmrip broken because: Incomplete pkg-plist build errors: http://pointyhat.FreeBSD.org/errorlogs/amd64-errorlogs/e.5.2007042804/ogmrip-0.10.2.log (Mar 7 18:27:21 UTC 2007) http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/ia64-errorlogs/e.7.2007021918/ogmrip-0.10.2.log (Mar 17 22:43:41 UTC 2007) http://pointyhat.FreeBSD.org/errorlogs/sparc64-errorlogs/e.7.2006122818/ogmrip-0.10.0.r4_1.log (Jan 15 22:09:58 UTC 2007) overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=multimediaportname=ogmrip portname: net-mgmt/cflowd broken because: Does not compile build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=net-mgmtportname=cflowd portname: palm/synce-trayicon broken because: Configure fails build errors: http://pointyhat.FreeBSD.org/errorlogs/amd64-errorlogs/e.5.2007042804/synce-trayicon-0.9.0_5.log (Apr 29 09:35:27 UTC 2007) overview:
FreeBSD ports which are currently scheduled for deletion
As part of an ongoing effort to reduce the number of problems in the FreeBSD ports system, we periodically schedule removal of ports that have been judged to have outlived their usefulness. Often, this is due to a better alternative having become available and/or the cessation of development on the existing port. In some cases, ports are marked for removal because they fail to build and install correctly from their sources, or otherwise fail in operation. The ports, and the reason and date that they have been scheduled for removal, are listed below. If no one has stepped forward before that time to propose a way to fix the problems, the ports will be deleted. The goal of this posting is to make this process much more visible to the wider FreeBSD community. portname: audio/freebirth description:A bass synthesizer, step sequencer, and sample player maintainer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: BROKEN deprecated because: Doesn't work on FreeBSD 5.0 and higher expiration date:2007-06-01 build errors: http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/i386-errorlogs/e.4.2007020218/freebirth-0.3.2_2.log (Feb 5 18:15:20 GMT 2007) overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=audioportname=freebirth portname: audio/gstreamer-plugins-a52dec80 description:Gstreamer a52dec plugin maintainer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] deprecated because: Obsolete version, use gstreamer 0.10 instead expiration date:2007-05-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=audioportname=gstreamer-plugins-a52dec80 portname: audio/gstreamer-plugins-artsd80 description:Gstreamer artsd plugin maintainer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] deprecated because: Obsolete version, use gstreamer 0.10 instead expiration date:2007-05-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=audioportname=gstreamer-plugins-artsd80 portname: audio/gstreamer-plugins-audiofile80 description:Gstreamer audiofile plugin maintainer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] deprecated because: Obsolete version, use gstreamer 0.10 instead expiration date:2007-05-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=audioportname=gstreamer-plugins-audiofile80 portname: audio/gstreamer-plugins-cdaudio80 description:Gstreamer cdaudio plugin maintainer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] deprecated because: Obsolete version, use gstreamer 0.10 instead expiration date:2007-05-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=audioportname=gstreamer-plugins-cdaudio80 portname: audio/gstreamer-plugins-cdparanoia80 description:Gstreamer cdparanoia plugin maintainer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] deprecated because: Obsolete version, use gstreamer 0.10 instead expiration date:2007-05-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=audioportname=gstreamer-plugins-cdparanoia80 portname: audio/gstreamer-plugins-esound80 description:Gstreamer esound plugin maintainer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] deprecated because: Obsolete version, use gstreamer 0.10 instead expiration date:2007-05-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=audioportname=gstreamer-plugins-esound80 portname: audio/gstreamer-plugins-faac80 description:Gstreamer faac plugin maintainer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] deprecated because: Obsolete version, use gstreamer 0.10 instead expiration date:2007-05-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=audioportname=gstreamer-plugins-faac80 portname: audio/gstreamer-plugins-faad80 description:Gstreamer faad plugin maintainer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] deprecated because: Obsolete version, use gstreamer 0.10 instead expiration date:2007-05-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=audioportname=gstreamer-plugins-faad80 portname: audio/gstreamer-plugins-flac80 description:Gstreamer flac plugin maintainer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] deprecated because: Obsolete version, use gstreamer 0.10 instead expiration date:2007-05-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=audioportname=gstreamer-plugins-flac80 portname: audio/gstreamer-plugins-gsm80 description:Gstreamer gsm plugin maintainer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] deprecated because: Obsolete version, use gstreamer 0.10 instead expiration date:2007-05-31 build errors: none. overview:
FreeBSD ports that you maintain which are currently marked forbidden
Dear FreeBSD port maintainer: As part of an ongoing effort to reduce the number of problems in the FreeBSD ports system, we are attempting to notify maintainers of ports that are marked as forbidden in their Makefiles. Often, these ports are so marked due to security concerns, such as known exploits. An overview of the port, including errors seen on the build farm, is included below. portname: misc/compat3x forbidden because: FreeBSD-SA-03:05.xdr, FreeBSD-SA-03:08.realpath - not fixed / no lib available build errors: http://pointyhat.FreeBSD.org/errorlogs/amd64-errorlogs/e.5.2007042804/compat3x-amd64-5.0.20020925.log (Mar 16 21:08:11 UTC 2007) overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=miscportname=compat3x If this problem is one that you are already aware of, please accept our apologies and ignore this message.

Current unassigned ports problem reports
Current FreeBSD problem reports The following is a listing of current problems submitted by FreeBSD users. These represent problem reports covering all versions including experimental development code and obsolete releases. Bugs can be in one of several states: o - open A problem report has been submitted, no sanity checking performed. a - analyzed The problem is understood and a solution is being sought. f - feedback Further work requires additional information from the originator or the community - possibly confirmation of the effectiveness of a proposed solution. p - patched A patch has been committed, but some issues (MFC and / or confirmation from originator) are still open. r - repocopy The resolution of the problem report is dependent on a repocopy operation within the CVS repository which is awaiting completion. s - suspended The problem is not being worked on, due to lack of information or resources. This is a prime candidate for somebody who is looking for a project to do. If the problem cannot be solved at all, it will be closed, rather than suspended. c - closed A problem report is closed when any changes have been integrated, documented, and tested -- or when fixing the problem is abandoned.
