Please update x11-toolkits/fltk from 1.1.7 to current version

2007-11-25 Thread Sunry Chen
There's bug affect compiling remotely/in console:
Fluid needs X connection to compile Fl_Help_View
widgets(http://www.fltk.org/str.php?L1318)
Which already fixed in current version 1.1.x-r5989.

The version in ports tree is 1.1.7, I wish it could be updated while
it affecting a new port's compiling,
which I just submitted: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=118235

libgphoto2-2.4.0 - PTPBUG_DELETE_SENDS_EVENT caused hang for Canon IXUS 55 and S3 IS

2007-11-25 Thread Mark Kirkwood
Recently I noticed that attempting to delete gphotos from my Canon IXUS 
55 in gtkam would just hang. After some experimentation, combined with 
looking at older sources (which did not hang), I tracked the behaviour 
down to the PTPBUG_DELETE_SENDS_EVENT flags in libgphoto2.


I purchased a Canon S3 IS for my parents, and briefly trialled this - 
noting the same behaviour.


In both cases removing the PTPBUG_DELETE_SENDS_EVENT flag in 
camlibs/ptp2/library.c appeared to fix the issue.


I've attached a patch for this.

I guess this might be worth a pr, but I wondered if other Canon owners 
were seeing this?


As the subject says, libgphoto2-2.4.0 is the version I'm patching.

Cheers

Mark

Hi,

have you contacted gphoto authors about this? I'm sure they will be
interested fixing this for the next release.

Yes, I think we all know how to go about this manually. The question
at hand is whether or not it's possible or desirable to create the
possibility of doing it for the user at port install time.

If what you're trying to say here is that you don't find such a
facility interesting or necessary, thanks for stating your opinion.

I said, that this can be done from the Makefile as well, if that OPTIONS
of yours is enabled.


Seeing as I was gone (really way gone) from the FreeBSD community for a 
while, but I used to be very closely associated, I felt that it was 
possible that because I had seen both environments (several other 
unixes, like Solaris and different Linuxes) and FreeBSD, that before I 
stopped seeing things as novel, I might be able to point out some 
differences that might be useful.  I've seen a lot of knee-jerk 
responses to anything new; this group isn't the largest, but they ARE 
the loudest.


I'm not sayiing I'm right, but I AM saying that it's worth some serious 
consideration.  I'm suggesting a number of ideas that just might be 
worth adding.


In this case, what I meant was to change the rules, the commonly 
accepted methods, for ports to install daemons, to that they directly 
patch an rc file, not to make some change in bsd.port.mk, but it really 
wouldn't be all that hard to code up some macro to do this, so perhaps 
the idea is sound.  I'm currenlty going to present something regarding 
adding a ports screening method, but that's a much harder thing to code. 
 This macro handler, that would be comparatively easy.


I see that we need to decide whether to do it or not, but that decision 
can wait until I have a macro, a diff to gbsd.port.mk coded up, so we 
don't discuss this twice (you can kill the idea very well then, you['re 
not going to lose the opportunity).  The only things I see to decide NOW 
are:


1) name of this proposed macro.  I like INSTALL_DAEMON_NAME, do you?
2) the name of the file to carry the resulting definitions.  It could be 
/etc/rc.local, I saw that suggested, but I would like to say why I like 
$(PREFIX)/local/etc/rc.d.  I would rather that the dividing line between 
any and all system stuff and ports stuff be very very firm and clear.  I 
detest the Linux habit of folding /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin together, 
and I would really want to maintain FreeBSD's current stance on this.


Next couple days, I will show you folks a diff about this.  We can make 
the changes on the two items above rather easily then, but you might 
want to post your feelings now on it.  Save the argument over the entire 
notion until I get a diff ready.


I mean, that's the FreeBSD way, that no one gets any sort of prior 
blanket approval, and I wouldn't change it for the world.




Sincerely,

Gergely Czuczy

[HEADSUP] new package status/statistics uploaded to portsmon.freebsd.org

2007-11-25 Thread Mark Linimon
I've been generating these locally but not uploading them.  Now, they
are up-to-date.  If you are interested in what the state of the packages
is on the various architectures, these pages will be of interest.

Of particular interest to ports committers is the new page
http://portsmon.freebsd.org/checkpackages.html.  This shows the
status of the packages that go on disc1 and disc2 of the release CDs.
When you click on the table header for each buildenv, it will take
you to a page that shows the complete package status for that buildenv,
including whether packages are marked IGNORE or BROKEN, or simply have
errors.  For each package in the checkpackages page, you'll need to
search the most right-hand column of the status page to find out what
package is blocking it, if it's a dependency of something else.

The overall comparison amongst buildenvs is at the following:
http://portsmon.freebsd.org/chartsandgraphs/package_comparison.html.
That's a good start here.  Everything else is shown on
http://portsmon.freebsd.org/chartsandgraphs/index.html.

Note that all this data is as of the last port building run (not
whichever one is currently in progress), so certain errors may already
have been fixed.  The information is all there -- but you may have to
do a little bit of detective work with e.g. the individual port pages
and the cvsweb links.  For instance, amd64-7, i386-7, and sparc64-6
have been unblocked by the most recent commits.  However, sparc64-7
is still blocked on x11/gnome2 via the build error in devel/pwlib,
which appears to have happened when the threading libraries were
switched.  (Anyone willing to help track that down?)

Re: X Can't see my docked monitor - xorg or nvidia?

2007-11-25 Thread Kelly Hays
Doug,
Did you ever get this working? I have a simular problem and the
workaround I found is to use the nvidia-driver-96xx port instead of
the regular nvidia-driver port. I can not remember the exact model
of the Dell FP display that I have ( it is at work) but it is the same
resolution (1600x1200).

On Nov 11, 2007 4:01 PM, Doug Barton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 Thanks for responding, sorry it took so long to get back to you,
 $REAL_LIFE is in my face lately.

  All my ports are up to date, including kde 3.5.8, and nvidia-driver

  I should also point out that I'm using kdm, but I was using it before the
  upgrade too. Turning kdm off and using startx has no effect (still comes up
  only on the laptop screen).
 
  Any suggestions?
 
  The content of /var/log/Xorg.0.log might be useful,

 http://people.freebsd.org/~dougb/Xorg.0.log

 There are a couple of interesting sections:
 (II) PCI: Probing config type using method 1
 (II) PCI: Config type is 1
 (II) PCI: stages = 0x03, oldVal1 = 0x, mode1Res1 = 0x8000
 (WW) OS did not count PCI devices, guessing wildly

 and

 (--) NVIDIA(0): LPL (DFP-0): 330.0 MHz maximum pixel clock
 (--) NVIDIA(0): LPL (DFP-0): Internal Dual Link LVDS

 That all looks right, but

 (II) NVIDIA(0): Assigned Display Device: DFP-0

 That should not be, since the only screen mentioned in xorg.conf
 (http://people.freebsd.org/~dougb/xorg.conf) is the 2001FP.

 (WW) NVIDIA(0): No valid modes for 1600x1200; removing.

 This makes sense because the laptop screen doesn't do that resolution,
 it's for the 2001FP.

  but also try and play with xrandr.  Xrandr --verbose should tell you
  what outputs i actually sees, and then you can disable/enable individual
  outputs and see what happens.

 Screen 0: minimum 320 x 240, current 1440 x 900, maximum 1440 x 900

 No mention of the 2001FP at all.

No, I never got it working with the latest version of the driver. I

the issue with the latest driver remains.

I'm more disturbed that this piece of news isn't common knowledge. 
Those numbers actually understate the problem.  Just one commonly

300 dependencies.  At least in my own opinion, the largest part of that 
dependency list is VERY weakly required, mainly a matter of a porter 
saying to himself I have that port, I like it a lot, everybody should 
have it and not this port won't run without that port


That's my own main motivation behind all that work I'm doing aboout 
making a ports keyword list, so as to better control the growth of 
dependency lists.  It's no problem at all to show ludicrous examples of 
overly agressive dependency lists taking the choices of what ports to 
add out of the hands of the users.


As soon as I get the keyword list written (asnd who knows, maybe 
accepted?), then I intend to push what I see as the second part of this, 
a tool that looks at what ports are installed, the state of your keyword 
lists, and a user's personal interests, and make suggestions of what 
ports a user might find interesting.  Sort of a ports-advertiser.  This 
would take the place of overly agressive dependency lists, but not by 
removing the user from the process, but instead by making that user's 
selection job easier to make.  Such a tool could have a link to a ports 
installer, even, so as to further ease things, but not to remove the 
choice from the user, as it's moving towards today.

Assuming I understand what you mean, I think one of two things would
happen:
1. The drive that the ports tree is on would be reformatted, therefore
the new one could be installed, or
2. The drive would not be reformatted, therefore the old (and
presumably already functional) ports tree would still be there.

Maybe I'm missing something though?

xorg itself brings in 262 dependencies.  It is because metaports like

If your ISP filters outbound TCP port 25, then it means they're probably
doing so to stop/curb spam or trojans that proliferate through SMTP.
They likely leave TCP port 587 open to the world (but there's no
guarantee of that either).

Every ISP I've seen who does the above outbound filtering does so while
providing their own SMTP server available for customer use -- and
provides a firewall hole for communicating with their own SMTP servers
on TCP port 25.  If your ISP filters outbound port 25 and doesn't offer
you an SMTP server of their own for use, then that's truly bizarre and
you should discuss it with your ISP.

You should be able to set up a local mailer/MTA (sendmail, postfix,
etc.) and tell it to use your ISP's mail server on TCP port 25, and it
all should just magically work unless they require SMTP AUTH (not many
do from what I've seen; they base authentication on the source IP of
customers).

sendmail refers to this feature as SMART_HOST, while postfix refers to
it as a transport destination (see transport(5)).

RE: Submitting a new port if send-pr is broken

2007-11-25 Thread Chris Haulmark
Hi Aryeh! 
 Due to a ISP firewall it is not possible for me to send/recv mail how
 do I submit a new port since send-pr requires email?

If you have a web browser, you can submit it via FreeBSD's website:

http://www.freebsd.org/support/bugreports.html

The link is Submit a Problem Report.

Re: Idea about the ports tree included in the release

 Oh wait. The cvsup checkouts file is probably a small (set of)
 file(s) with some revision information, while the portsnap file is
 a huge chunk of data with a copy of the ports tree.

Well, even better: instead of the ports tree tarball (+ cvsup files) we
could have *only* the portsnap database on the CD, and let portsnap do
the extract work at install time.

Indeed, that is the online version, be sure to mark the correct category
etc though (Aryeh did that wrong when submitting the bug).
