_DEPENDS+= and make index speed
Maybe it is because the last two prs in a row had it and that made me notice, or maybe I am spending more time looking over Makefile, but I have seen a couple of ports with BUILD_DEPENDS+= in cases where it was not needed. Wasn't a master or slave port. Was not wrapped in a .ifdef. port had no options to select or not. I don't think it hurts anything but if you have a bunch of ports doing this, doesn't it have to slow down make index? The extra check for, reassign and cat an undefined var has to take more cpu than a strict assign, right or am I just nitpicking? Nothing I think we need to go on the hunt for or publicly but is it something that committers and ports maintainers should just fix?

The extra check for, reassign and cat an undefined var has to take more cpu than a strict assign, right or am I just nitpicking? Unlikely to make a significant difference. Most of the time in building the INDEX is spent doing file IO -- opening all those Makefiles, and the files they include, etc., ad nauseam. -- and then parsing the thousands of lines of make code. And then doing all over again for the next port. Couple of assignments using += in a couple of port specific Makefiles isn't much compared to that. Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.

FreeBSD 6.4 stable

Can someone tell me how solve this? upgrade to FreeBSD 7.3 or 7.4 6.4 is not supported by ports tree anymore. Not only will you have problems with INDEX, but a lot of ports you want to (re)?build will have dependencies or libraries that don't exist in 6.4. (its not all that painful. build a 7.3/7.4 kernel with 6.x support, install it like 'make kernel KODIR=/boot/testkernel' nextboot -f testkernel (i think that is syntax) if it boots, follow instructions on rebuilding world and ports, make sure you put 7.3/4 kernel back on: make installkernel. if it doesn't boot, well, power cycle and it will boot your old 6.4 (but, ps, strange, I have a test machine still running 6.4 and I test ports on it. never had that issue) but the real answer is, upgrade so you don't have support problems. -- Michael Scheidell, CTO *| * SECNAP Network Security Corporation d: +1.561.948.2259 w: http://people.freebsd.org/~scheidell ___ 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

Can someone tell me how solve this? 6.4 is EOL but it seems the index is build for portsnap. Even in 8.3-RC2 you can find the following lines in /etc/portsnap.conf INDEX INDEX-6 DESCRIBE.6 INDEX INDEX-7 DESCRIBE.7 INDEX INDEX-8 DESCRIBE.8 At last on my 8.3-RC2 system INDEX-6 will be renewed per default during portsnap update So if you use portsnap you have a real chance to get INDEX-6 but ports are not guarantied to build since most of the 6.x specific parts are already removed from the ports tree. If you want to try portsnap rename /usr/ports to ports.old so you have your old tree as fall-back. -- Regards, olli ___ 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
Where are conventions like -devel ports documented?
Perhaps I am missing the obvious and will be rewarded with embarrassement, but where are conventions like the use and naming of -devel ports described? I would have expected this to be covered in http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/book.html but -- it is not. (If this is an omission, can someone more closely involved than I have been so far donate a paragraph or two?) Gerald PS: I am thinking to split the existing emulators/wine port into two, the regular one (tracking releases of Wine) and a -devel port that tracks the bi-weekly snapshots that will lead to the next release in a year or two. Somehow I would prefer something like wine-stable / wine instead of wine / wine-devel, but the latter is more in line with how we are doing things, right? ___ 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

I think of it this way: as a user of wine I want the wine port/package to give me the best working version while wine-devel to give me a development version, for whatever development version means.
