Thank you for the report.

Stripping the binary seems to invalidate the internal checksum check. I
will send in an update for the port to not strip the binary for the time
being.

You can do this yourself by adding to the Makefile:

'STRIP=   '
after the PLIST_FILES line.

Greets,

Popularity contest

2007-09-01 Thread Nils Vogels
Since a little while, Debian has been using a popularity contest, that
sends anonymous usage details of various packages that Debian users have
installed.

These details are summarized at http://popcon.debian.org/

I figure something like this would be a huge advantage for the FreeBSD
ports-community as well, and would like to propose starting something
like this up for FreeBSD as well (unless I am misinformed, nothing to
the sort exists at this point), either by porting popcon to FreeBSD, or
by doing something completely different.

Any thoughts?

Greets,
Nils

It would be better to not include the debug level in your logfiles, to
save you some space.
You can do this by changing your syslog.conf. For exact syntax, consult
the syslog.conf(8) manpage.

Kind regards,

Nils

How to construct this port?

2006-12-28 Thread Nils Vogels
Hi !

I'm trying to set up a new port, but I'm unsure how to proceed, until
now I've only maintained already existing ports.

The port is a plugin for an already existing port, giving extra
functionality, but is maintained as a seperate package.

In order to compile the port, you need a sourcetree of both the original
port and the port of the plugin, where the sourcetree of the original
port has to have been ./configure-d

How would I go about this?

Greetings,

Nils

The country-blocks have been in my mail config for ages, and I didn't
think of them as I decided to become port maintainer. I understand that
it is important as a port maintainer to answer user questions on the
port, and so I have, at the moment the blocks became apparent and a
nuisance, removed them.

Looks like im going to turn postgrey after all :-)

Ha, good idea!

Apart from me thinking it may be a bit much to go for maintainer switch
right away due to a restrictive mail config, what PR are we talking
about now, so that I can have a look into it ;)

Fixed!

Those blocks have been in there for ages, so I forgot all about them, oops!
