Introducing fpart - a file partitioning tool
Hi everyone, Have you ever wondered how you could split a file tree into parts of the same size, or into parts with a limited size or file number ? I have developed a small BSD-licensed tool called fpart that can do that for you (see http://contribs.martymac.org and https://sourceforge.net/projects/fpart). This small C program will crawl a given set of file or directory paths, organize them and print resulting partitions. This can be useful to e.g. launch several rsync(1) in parallel or store files on media of limited size. Here are some examples : 1) Produce 3 partitions, with (approximatively) the same size and number of files : $ fpart -n 3 -o var-parts /var 2) Produce partitions of 4.4 GB, containing music files ready to be burnt to a DVD : $ fpart -s 4724464025 -o music-parts /path/to/my/music 3) Produce partitions containing 1 files each by examining /usr and /home : $ find /usr ! -type d | ./fpart -f 1 -i - /home | grep '^0:' The tool is already available in ports (sysutils/fpart) but has also successfully been used on GNU/Linux. Enjoy !

PHP Interactive Mode, phpsh
The Gods seem to be conspiring against me. I'm flummoxed as to why I can't get php running in interactive mode (php -a). Some relevant info: php5-5.3.8 PHP Scripting Language php5-extensions-1.5 A meta-port to install PHP extensions php5-readline-5.3.8 The readline shared extension for php python27-2.7.2_2An interpreted object-oriented programming language I tried doing an endrun around the problem by installing python in conjunction with the /devel/phpsh port. That hasn't quite worked out either. Testing the installation of phpsh on a local build server: $ phpsh Starting php Install pcntl to enable forking on every command. type 'h' or 'help' to see instructions features php echo Hello world\n; Hello world php d array_merge Traceback (most recent call last): File /usr/local/bin/phpsh, line 127, in module t_c_ret = s.try_command(line) File /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/phpsh/__init__.py, line 909, in try_command import manual File /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/phpsh/manual.py, line 4, in module from sqlite3 import dbapi2 as sqlite File /usr/local/lib/python2.7/sqlite3/__init__.py, line 24, in module from dbapi2 import * File /usr/local/lib/python2.7/sqlite3/dbapi2.py, line 27, in module from _sqlite3 import * ImportError: No module named _sqlite3 [ At this point phpsh exits ] Building a phpsh package fails: === Building package for phpsh-20110513 tar: etc/phpsh/config.sample: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: etc/phpsh/php_manual.db: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: etc/phpsh/rc.php: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors. pkg_create: make_dist: tar command failed with code 256 *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/devel/phpsh. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/devel/phpsh. Running 'pkg_info -L' reveals the missing files being installed into /usr/local/etc/phpsh, but no such directory (or files) exists. And just for fun, the results after installing phpsh on Mac OS X (where php interactive mode doesn't work either): Warning: require_once(/opt/local/etc/phpsh/rc.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/phpsh/phpsh.php on line 49 Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/opt/local/etc/phpsh/rc.php' (include_path='.:') in /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/phpsh/phpsh.php on line 49 Could someone shed some light as to why php interactive mode doesn't work with FreeBSD?

And I have a pkg-descr file.
Am I on the right track? I'm following the porters handbook as well.
Doesn't pass portlint.
Can't fetch the RPM file.
Otherwise, a pretty good start.
Ok, thats good so far then. Thanks for the assessment.
Now, what's portlint?
/usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portlint. It does syntax checking on the Makefile
and checks things like correct checksums in distfile. You run it in the
port's directory.
And I have a question or two about the rpm. Do I need to script
something to just extract the files needed, or is it already in the mk
files already somewhere?
I suspect that setting USE_LINUX_RPM= yes in Makefile should be all
you need, but I've never done a RPM port. Some seem to use only
LINUX_RPM_ARCH= i386, which is the only option at the moment since
we don't have a AMD64 Linux base port.
And how do I work out the url for fetching the rpm? This particular one
is a moving target as the distro is already eol. Is it stored on the
FreeBSD servers? Or what do I do here?
That could be a problem. Maybe a committer could host it for you. I'm
hosting flwm-1.00.tgz, although I don't think it's used anymore.
In the porters handbook it mentions checksums and make makesum - does
that mean I have to put it in the ports tree to try it?
I just update Makefile, fetch the tarball and then run make makesum
before generating diffs or making a tarball of the port.
And is pkg-message scripted or do I just create it?
See the comment in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk. There are lots of very
informative comments in that file.
I've read that before too, but I seem to be missing something
fundamental about ports here. I need to get a handle on all this before
I can proceed. I'm pulling it apart now, anyway.
There are native ports, and there are the linux base ports. For the
native ports the maintainer hosts? But these linux ports are they hosted
on the linux rpm sites? Or are they hosted by the maintainer? So I
believe I cannot sort a few things out until I know exactly what is
going on here. As I mentioned its eol, but if the rest come from the
linux sites...
All I want is 3 files from the usr/lib in the rpm (I think). What I
couldn't quite ascertain is what is done here in the bsd.linux-rpm.mk:
is it extracted and the files copied by make? Or is the rpm installed as
in linux?
If I have to find a host for it I can host it, but what opportunities
for a backup site exist in case of failure? Do I have to arrange that as
the maintainer, or is it mirrored by FreeBSD automatically? Ideally I
suppose both those scenarios would be in order.
And Chris, the license to most linux core stuff is GPL - I also checked
the COPYING file for nss_ldap (as that is the only one we're concerned
with here) and its GPLv2.
I've been spending the past few days trying to work out a tinderbox but
my resources are stretched. I'm hoping to rectify this in the near
future, but so far nada...
The checksums are all tied up with the hosting and so I'm still stuck
there until I work it out, Paul. So I have to untangle these threads so
I have a clearer picture on what I'm doing. from what I understand in
what you're telling me it means I have to create the checksums to make
available from the site, and makesum downloads it. If thats right, what
do I have to do to create them? The handbook says differently (I think?
Maybe I'm reading it wrong...)

But these linux ports are they hosted on the linux rpm sites? Or are they hosted by the maintainer? So I believe I cannot sort a few things out until I know exactly what is going on here. As I mentioned its eol, but if the rest come from the linux sites... The fact that some ports are linux-base ports and some are native is not that significant. The important differences are that: * the linux ports install into PREFIX=/compat/linux and the native ports generally use PREFIX=/usr/local * you don't compile the linux ports from source; instead you just unpack pre-compiled binaries from one or other of the Linux packaging systems. Who hosts the distfiles depends entirely on circumstance. If there's an active project that has the distfile freely available for download, then use that. Otherwise you will have to find a server somewhere you could make the distfiles available from. That should be distinct from the distfile cache generated by the ports building cluster. This is the same irrespective of whether it is a linux-base or a native port. All I want is 3 files from the usr/lib in the rpm (I think). What I couldn't quite ascertain is what is done here in the bsd.linux-rpm.mk: is it extracted and the files copied by make? Or is the rpm installed as in linux? bsd.linux-rpm.mk provides a customized version of the do-install make target, and all the necessary bits to extract the files from the .rpm, so yes. However, it does assume packages are downloaded from one of the well-known FTP sites for (in your case) Fedora 10, so you'll have to override that bit by setting MASTER_SITES etc. yourself. If I have to find a host for it I can host it, but what opportunities for a backup site exist in case of failure? Do I have to arrange that as the maintainer, or is it mirrored by FreeBSD automatically? Ideally I suppose both those scenarios would be in order. More than one download site is desirable, but not an absolute requirement. Unless the license terms say otherwise, the distfiles will end up being mirrored on ftp.freebsd.org but this doesn't count towards the number of available download sites.

If thats right, what do I have to do to create them? The handbook says differently (I think? Maybe I'm reading it wrong...) Usually the process is that you edit the Makefile to see up the PORTNAME, PORTVERSION or DISTVERSION, MASTER_SITES and anything else to do with downloading the distfile. Then you just run 'make makesum' That should download the distfile, calulate the SHA256 checksum and write out a suitable distinfo file automatically. If there are out-of-band mechanisms for checking the integrity of the distfile, then you as maintainer should certainly check them. (eg. digital signatures on distfiles or published checksums) However, once you've done that then the SHA265 checksum in distinfo should be sufficient to ensure all ports users are downloading the same, correct, content. Either that or maybe I'm just too tired rather than confused... :/ I'll have a look at another linux port tomorrow and pull it apart- and I'll try one closer to the core this time. Yep. Blatantly copying from a similar and well-written port is the best method, and definitely approved of. Watch out for older ports though -- best practice has changed over time, and not all ports have been updated to match.

Usually the RPM is grabbed from one of the many Linux sites, assuming it's still hosted on one.

They are binary ports and the GPL requires that we distribute the source too. So if the RPM and the SRPM follow the distribution-default-naming-convention, you should run make -DPACKAGE_BULDING makesum and it will also take care about the SRPM. Without this we can not really integrate it into the ports tree (and the package building cluster will spit out errors). If it does not follow the naming convention, you have to override it (if you set DISTFILES, you need to set SRC_DISTFILES manually, you have to set MASTER_SITE_SRC_SUBDIR if you set MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR). bsd.linux-rpm.mk has the corresponding code.

This should be you (if you're willing to maintain the port).
You keep dropping hints like this all the time Alex :)
Honestly, though, I'm not sure whats involved or whether I'm capable
of handling the responsibility. This one is not likely to change too
much over time, but my skills are probably wanting.
More or less everyone started like this. Just jump in and give it a
try. As you can see we have some helpful people here around.
COMMENT=nss_ldap library (Linux Fedora 10)
CONFLICTS=
USE_LINUX_RPM=yes
LINUX_DIST_VER=10
RPMVERSION=8.fc9
This does not sound like you took a Fedora 10 RPM here, but you
specified in LINUX_DIST_VER that you use Fedora 10.
I wasn't sure exactly what to put there yet, but this was a Makefile
for linux-f10-ucl so I thought it would be at least close. The
filename is supposed to be nss_ldap-264-6.fc10.i386.rpm.
I suggest to grep around Mk/*linux* for such linux-specific stuff. Most
likely you will find places where they are used. Maybe you can deduvt
from there if they are needed in your Makefile, or to what they should
be set to.
USE_LDCONFIG=yes
PLIST_FILES=usr/lib/libnss_ldap.so.2

${PREFIX}/usr/share/doc/${PORTNAME}-${PORTVERSION}
PORTDOCS=COPYING NEWS README THANKS TODO DESCR=
${.CURDIR}/../${PORTNAME}/pkg-descr
You don't need DESCR this way, it looks like this sets it to the
same file (but in a different way) than the default value of DESCR.
I have a pkg-descr file setup. That should be right, isn't it?
Yes. You only need to change the value of DESCR in the Makefile, if you
want to use another (generated) file.
.includebsd.port.mk
And I have a pkg-descr file.
Am I on the right track? I'm following the porters handbook as
well.
When doing the make makesum, please use make -DPACKAGE_BUILDING
makesum to get the checkums of the SRPMs recorded too. We are
obliged to provide the GNU sources the same way like the binaries,
and IIRC we have some logic which fetches the SRPMs on tha packaga
bulding cluster.
Oh, dear. I'll have to go hunting for them then.
Unfortunately yes.
Bye,
Alexander.

There are lots of very informative comments in that file. I've read that before too, but I seem to be missing something fundamental about ports here. I need to get a handle on all this before I can proceed. I'm pulling it apart now, anyway. The linux ports are far from normal FreeBSD ports. There are two levels of indirections involved. The ports which make up the linux infrastructure ports (USE_LINUX_APPS=xxx; defined in bsd.linux-apps.mk... you don't need it for your port I think) - typically ports which are needed by several other linux ports - are similar to e.g. GNOME ports, but they don't use bsd.port.mk like the other FreeBSD ports, but the bsd.linux-rpm.mk. And bsd.linux-rpm.mk uses bsd.ports.mk. bsam@ and me wrote those linux mk files, and at least I need to consult the files if I review a linux port more often than if I review a normal FreeBSD port. So if you don't get it the first time, don't be afraid, you didn't chose to make one of the most easy ports.

You need to have the ports tree on the machine where you try it. Just create a directory somewhere, copy the Makefile inside, and give it a try (most easy as root, this way you don't have to override some directory variables to get it working). Before you try the redports suggestions: get it first working via a simple make on a local system first. If you only use redports it would slow you down until you get something working.

FreeBSD Port: mysql-server-5.0.92
I'm doing testing with running MySQL-cluster versions 7.1.13 and 7.2.2 on FreeBSD and I was wondering if you had any plans for porting MySQL-cluster to FreeBSD? If you do, what might the time frame be for a MySQL-cluster port? I know 7.2.2 is beta, so I wouldn't want that to be ported, I just wanted to see the differences with the changes they added from the 5.1 to 5.5 version change they did. William M.

Re: linux-f10-nss_ldap: my first port - be gentle :)
Ok, clean slate. Lets start afresh :) First I need a way to test properly. Alex, you mention I need a ports tree on the machine, and then you say to create a directory somewhere and put Makefile in it and run make (as root). Does the directory need to be in the ports tree then? The rpm files extracted: is there anyway to distinguish which files are copied or is it simply put into LINUXBASE wholesale? I ask because the rpm in question contains pam libraries which are unneeded obviously as authentication is done by the host? system. I believe this could represent a bit of a security risk, but I suppose one could setup an option if wanted. And how does this affect PLIST? And by running make a port is normally built in the port's directory. In the case of a linux port it is only downloaded into the distfiles/. Is it extracted during make or make install though? I couldn't quite determine that categorically. I've also changed the Makefile to use bsd.linux-rpm.mk instead of bsd.port.mk. I have setup a pkg-descr file to be put in the directory. Chris, you're right about the license situation. I nearly fell for it: ass-u-me... :) Hosting: I downloaded the rpm myself (including srpm), and I can host them and maybe arrange for them to be hosted elsewhere as well. Can I use MASTER_SITES to append/prepend? I also have to untangle the web of how to determine which file to download - argh hem! Sorry, fetch ;) if the linux-f10 base ports are obtained from the Fedora sites, then what happens if f10 rpms are no longer available there? And finally checksums: I create a checksum for the port, the linux sites have checksums, and I was advised in passing to check the checksums match. The checksums are going to differ aren't they? Linux and BSD checksums wouldn't be the same, surely? I'll keep at it in the meantime... :) ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: Introducing fpart - a file partitioning tool

I have developed a small BSD-licensed tool called fpart that can do that for you (see http://contribs.martymac.org and https://sourceforge.net/projects/fpart). This small C program will crawl a given set of file or directory paths, organize them and print resulting partitions. This can be useful to e.g. launch several rsync(1) in parallel or store files on media of limited size. Interesting! Thanks. I see there's a similar program called GAFFitter in the Ports tree (sysutils/gaffitter)... Genetic Algorithm File Fitter, or just GAFFitter, is a command-line software written in C++ that arranges--via a genetic algorithm--an input list of items or files/directories into volumes of a certain capacity (target), such as CD or DVD, in a way that the total wastage is minimized. By smartly arranging the input list, GAFFitter fits better the given items and so optimizes (reduces) the number of required volumes to pack them. Currently, GAFFitter runs on GNU/Linux and other POSIX systems, but it is designed in such manner that should be easily extended to non-POSIX operating environment. http://gaffitter.sourceforge.net/ ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
