Stepping down from my ports
Dear porters, unfortunately I need to step down from all the FreeBSD ports that I currently maintain, namely: audio/ices0 audio/linux-shoutcast audio/shoutcast benchmarks/nbench devel/libgee games/avanor games/crimson games/wrogue irc/minbif misc/apparix multimedia/gpodder net-im/pino net-mgmt/nagios-check_ice net-mgmt/nagios-check_nick net-mgmt/nipper net/p5-Event-tcp security/py-otr Sorry - I don't take this easily. I really enjoyed working with the community but due to a new employment and many other changes in my life I'm currenty too much under water to find the time to maintain these. I don't like stupidly approving patches from people that would be better maintainers than me anyway... I will keep maintaining comms/p5-SMS-SMS77 because upstream stopped development and I heavily depend on this port. I surely will be back some day picking up a port here and there, but for now: pleae pick up these small, poor ports and treat them with love :) Thanks, Frank ___ 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: [Call For Testing] New version - aMSN-0.98.1
Sylvio Cesar wrote: Hi folks, I would like to invite everyone to test the newest version of aMSN. This version has support for video conferencing and audio conferencing, is using tk and tcl 8.6 with support for threads. Running fine here for the last 24 hours and I'm forced to be a heavy msn-user. Everything is functional, video-call is fine too (but only incoming, don't have a cam myself). Thanks for it, I might even switch from emesene.

net-mgmt/nrpe(2)
Hi, I want to propose that net-mgmt/nrpe2 gets net-mgmt/nrpe, and that the actual net-mgmt/nrpe port gets removed. I strongly doubt that there are still users of nrpe 1. In the current situation, there are a lot of confusions: If you get nrpe from source, (version 2.12), it'll install check_nrpe and the nrpe deamon. If you use the one provided from ports, they are called check_nrpe2 and the daemon is called nrpe2. I got into this trap - I was running the wrong (old) nrpe for weeks, and when it came to failover monitoring I just realized that my nrpe version is just, well, outdated. What do you think?

anacron: suggest adding an entry in /etc/crontab in pkg-message.in
Hi, the pkg-message.in from the anacron-port is incomplete, IMO. It shows this: - Edit %%PREFIX%%/etc/anacrontab - Deactivate the 'periodic' commands in /etc/crontab - Add anacron_enable=YES to /etc/rc.conf - Read anacron(8) and anacrontab(5) The problem is that anacron will just execute one time, namely when the machine is booted. The maintainance-scripts would never run again, then. I suggest adding the following line to pkg-message.in before Add anacron_enable=YES to /etc/rc.conf: - Add an entry for anacron in /etc/crontab for the early morning hours What do you think?

mysql41-server's rc.d script broken?
Hello, just upgraded from mysql-server-4.1.20 to 4.1.22 and noticed that the rc.d script isn't working anymore. Doh. # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server start Starting mysql. # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server status mysql is not running. If I run mysqld_safe directly mysqld starts as expected. I had a look into the script but could not find the source of the problem. I'm not sure if that's a misconfiguration just on my site - anyone else seeing this? OK - I just edited the script so that it won't send mysqld_safe's output to /dev/null and got the following: Starting mysql. Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/db/mysql STOPPING server from pid file /var/db/mysql/shodan.nognu.de.pid 061220 04:05:50 mysqld ended /var/db/mysql/shodan.nognu.de.err says this: 061220 04:04:03 mysqld started 061220 4:04:03 [ERROR] Can't find messagefile '/usr/local/share/mysql/english/errmsg.sys' 061220 4:04:03 [ERROR] Aborting Strange. /usr/local/share/mysql/english/errmsg.sys is there and mysqld just starts fine if I start it manually. Any clues are welcome. Frank ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Any clues are welcome. When you run the script, mysqld_safe is run as the mysql user. What happens when you run mysqld_safe as the mysql user? Does the mysql user have read access to this file (including sub directories leading to the file)? Scot Scot, it was a permission issue indeed. I had a too strong umask when portupgrading mysql-server. Sorry for the wind.
