Re: make ".if exists" problem/question
Yes. The thing to keep in mind is that much of the .if stuff is done at parsing or rule construction time. So if you change something (creating a file, say), then that condition won't be re-evaluated. For the specific example given, one could replace much of the goo with: target: foobar foobar: touch foobar if you wanted to create foobar. Otherwise, I'd be tempted not to use .if exists. I'd be tempted to do something more like: target: @-if [ -f foobar ]; then cat foobar; else touch foobar; fi where you have the shell check. The primary use of exists() I've seen is: .if exists(foo.mk) .include "foo.mk" .endif although I have seen others.

The funny thing is, you're trying to checkout/update a project designed for Eclipse, but you haven't considered using Eclipse itself?!??! The cvs integration that the Eclipse IDE provides is pretty darn good (IMHO). I admin a project on sourceforge (shameless plug---> http://www.sf.net/projects/plexbench ) and I usually just use the CVS repository browsing perpective provided within the Eclipse ide to connect directly to sourceforge. Try it out... http://www.eclipse.org/ or /usr/ports/java/eclipse. BTW, I've been having problems running Eclipse 3.1 from ports so I haven't bothered upgrading (still using Eclipse 3.0). If anyone can shed some light on this or is having the same problem I'd love to hear from ya.

Fingers crossed :-) Well Hmmm I've got -STABLE running on the 5.4-RELEASE i386 AMD Athlon XP 2000+ machine with 256MB RAM. I untar Firefox sources, and the improvement is noticeable within 3 seconds. When doing the same operation before or here on my amd64 (5.4-RELEASE) it starts freezing the screen, sound, and other things (Hard to describe the sound noise, but it sounds like a "ERRR-R-R-R-R-" stutter). I increased the XMMS buffer from 3000 to the value on your site (haven't done the sysctl one yet) and it made the skips that were happening during untarring reduce greatly. There are still a few skips and slight stuttering, but before when doing the same operation it was completely un-listenable and unresponsive. I'm even tarring the Firefox source back up with bzip2 now to try. It's going quite slowly, but that's probably due to low RAM, as well as an older, slower, UDMA66 hard drive. 608K of real mem free and using up 50MB of swap, it's still sounding pretty good with minimal skips. I'm listening to a stream from my Athlon XP 2000+ in my left ear (via a headphone) and the same stream on the speakers here from my amd64. I hear occasional skips in the audio from the amd64 5.4-RELEASE box as I'm just typing this email, but while the other -STABLE box is semi-idle (X, Xfce, Firefox with 40 tabs open) I don't hear many skips at all. It's not perfect, but a huge improvement. I'm wondering what changed in 5-STABLE to make this so much better. I thought the fix was in 6 (Unless it was MFC)? This much improvement almost makes me want to just upgrade this amd64 box to -STABLE and start using it now. I just want to be sure it's stable enough for my use.

harddisk not found on 5.4 and 6.0
Hi all, I'm trying to put FreeBSD on an older machine, that currently has Linux installed. It is a 1 GHz Athlon with a Via KT266 chipset. The disk controller is a VIA 8233. The problem is that FreeBSD does not find the harddisk when booting from the install CD. The boot loader does, though. This happens both with 5.4-RELEASE and 6.0-beta1. Going to a fixit shell and doing a 'atacontrol list' gives no devices on the channel the harddisk is on. I've tried 'atacontrol reinit 0', but no luck. I can't get the kernel to recognize the disk. If I boot from the harddisk, Linux loads just fine. Any thoughts?

Users 1... to n are connected to dc++ server, they download files from each other. The problem is that traffic from user 1 to user 2 , or between any user is going via LAN nic. If i do not use pppoe server and assign user1 user2 fixed ips then the traffic in lan is direct from a user to another. The traffic on LAN nic is not high. So, pppoe will help in a easyer configuration of a client but traffic in lan is via LAN nic which is bad... if are many computers it slows down alot. If user 1 download from user 2 a 700 mb iso it will take only 1 minute for a 100 mbps lan, but if pppoe is setup and many users download from each others the traffic lows down a lot... i had experience with 300 kbytes/s instead of 8 mbytes/s.

make ".if exists" problem/question
Dear make gurus (bsd make, not gmake), it seems that make checks .if directives only at statrup. How can I trigger a "reread"? I have the problem that in one target I create a filetree, another target checks if it exists, if not it creates itself again. Now it works perfectly when I call the two targets both externally (installcfworld installcfconfig) but when the internal higher "install" gets to the installcfconfig target it fails! I'm really desperate, I need to check this. Is this a nasty bug? Thanks, -Harry pgpI56F8brpXo.pgp Description: PGP signature

No, it isn't. I think you misunderstand. AFAIK, cups includes a copy of (part of?) xpdf. Even if the original xpdf is fixed, cups-base won't be until a equivalent fix is applied, or the fixed code is imported into cups-base. > If so, I guess there is nothing I can do except wait...

Thanks for the reply. That would probably fix it but ideally I'd like to fix the root of the problem. Not being able to resolve the IP of a client really shouldn't stop them from connecting using SSH and if there's a bug in there somewhere I'd like to get it fixed so that it doesn't bite anybody else. I'm thinking dnscache would probably have to timeout on all the root servers before sending a response to SSH saying it couldn't resolve the hostname which might be the cause of the problem, but that shouldn't affect SSH which should timeout waiting for a response from dnscache. The authentication timeout in auth.log appears to indicate that SSH is counting any delay in name resolution towards that of authentication which seems to me to be very broken behaviour considering that SSH isn't accepting any form of authentication, at least not keyboard-interactive. Basically I'm waiting for somebody to tell me that I've made some stupid mistake otherwise I'll file a bug.

3ware 8506-4LP not working after os upgrade
Hi, I'm having problems upgrading FreeBSD from 4.9 to 5.3. The raid controller did work flawless with the fresh 4.9 install. When booting from the 5.3 mini install iso the system hangs when the next step is mounting the UFS root. Safe mode boots without a problem. After upgrading to 5.3, the system hangs at the same point freezes the system so even a reset doesn't help (need to hard power down holding power button). I really need to power down and even after that loading the kernel sometimes freezes. Again, booting in safe mode is no problem at all. When booting the system loads the twe driver and seems to recognize the 4 port raid controller. Loading the old 4.9 kernel again doesn't have the problem. Nothing is in the logs, probably because the driver freezes before it can write anything at all. I've seen some little topics about similar problems, but the symptoms and hardware aren't totally equal. Besides, I can't find what solved their problems (besides downgrading or changing hardware). I even don't have the resources to do that. My FreeBSD knowledge is not that really big, but I do know the basics. The system is a Supermicro case w/ P4SCT motherboard, 3ware 8506-4LP raid controller and 4x Maxtor DiamondMax 9 160GB SATA drive (3x raid5, 1x hot spare). Thanks in advance! PS: An upgrade with a Supermicro case w/ dual xeon motherboard, 3ware 8006-2LP raid controller and 2x Maxtor DiamondMax 9 120GB SATA drive (raid1) didn't have the problem. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I need it to be compatible as we still have many users with lots of data in pine. Could be wrong, but my understanding was that any issues with Pine weren't an issue if your users had shell access in the first place. That is, one of the problems was if you drop your users right into pine (or via some restricted shell) it's possible for them to drop into a sub shell, etc. from within pine.

Re: make own freebsd distro
Way back in the, I'd have to guess, 2.2.8 days. I made my own distro on CD, for my multiple desktops. It was a boot floppy (I think I had the CD boot) and a script to partition, newfs, etc. the disk, and then do a restore from the dumps I made of the template machine. Then the script went through setting the hostname, and such, in the file that was replaced by rc.conf. /etc/sysconfig maybe? It was a long time ago. It wasn't particularly fast, but it worked. iv gan wrote: Try man sysinstall. You can easily script the sysinstall and create an install.cfg and personalize the installation including packages, config files, users to add, etc. It is a bit tricky but it is enough powerfll for your needs I think so. So first try a mfsroot file. Then mount it on your machine mdconfig -a -t vnode -u 0 -f /path/to/mfsroot mount /dev/md0 /mnt/mfs In /mnt/mfs then you have to create install.cfg there is an example of that file somewhere on your disk, don't remember anymore. Then put back the mfsroot in /your/disk/to/burn/boot/ Then mkisofs it and cdrecord it etc. And that's all. Another solution is to set up a installation server. This is also covered by sysinstall. A nice howto is situated at http://www.tnpi.biz/computing/freebsd/pxe-netboot.shtml. What else.

You can easily script the sysinstall and create an install.cfg and personalize the installation including packages, config files, users to add, etc. It is a bit tricky but it is enough powerfll for your needs I think so. So first try a mfsroot file. Then mount it on your machine mdconfig -a -t vnode -u 0 -f /path/to/mfsroot mount /dev/md0 /mnt/mfs In /mnt/mfs then you have to create install.cfg there is an example of that file somewhere on your disk, don't remember anymore. Then put back the mfsroot in /your/disk/to/burn/boot/ Then mkisofs it and cdrecord it etc. And that's all. Another solution is to set up a installation server. This is also covered by sysinstall. A nice howto is situated at http://www.tnpi.biz/computing/freebsd/pxe-netboot.shtml. What else. If you really need to put in on a cd you can probably use an emulator like qemu to see if things work before burn etc.. good luck Ivo On 8/25/05, Damon Blom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi >I have a current-freebsd 7.0 amd64 system on my Presario 3000.

This time it was, so I got away with it. But I did find this in rescue(8) however: BUGS Most of the rescue tools work even in a fairly crippled system. The most egregious exception is the rescue version of vi(1), which currently requires that /usr be mounted so that it can access the termcap(5) files. Hopefully, a failsafe termcap(3) entry will eventually be added into the ncurses(3) library, so that /rescue/vi can be used even in a system where /usr cannot immediately be mounted. In the meantime, the rescue version of the ed(1) editor can be used from /rescue/ed if you need to edit files, but cannot mount /usr. I don't know how old this note is, but I hope the failsafe termcap will be added soon. Thomas -- N.J.

Recommended (dual headed) gfx Card
Hi, Am looking to get a new gfx card for my FreebSD Desktop, and wondering if anyone has any recommendations of whats good/bad in relation to working with FreeBSD. Currently I am using the dual head build in gfx card on my nvidia nforce2 mobo (2 monitors attached), which does the job fine, but it is a little sluggish at times and when I tried turned on transparancy in xorg/kde it got really slow. Am not looking for anything too extreme, just something that will handle the eye candy from kde without breaking into a sweat, and dual headed for the two monitors. I found setting up dual displays with the nvidia driver pretty easy, so without a good reason to do otherwise, I would stay with them. Only other critieria is my system is mini case (X factor/form or whatever you want to call it) so I would be concerned about heat, although this may just be my parania.

In note of the problem of having multiple drives per channel, have you tried running one hard drive and seeing if you have any of the discussed problems? Have you tried disconnecting the raid totally (pulling out the promise raid) Well I started initially with one hard drive when I was rebuilding the system. It didn't seem to have any issues on it's own because it's when transferring data to one of the other drives on the same channel that the errors occurred. I also started without the Promise totally because at that point I didn't know what the problem was. I was downgrading the speeds on some of the drives via atacontrol to udma100 and it seemed to work then with two drives on the same channel, but after more testing it failed as well.

Doubt when installing bootsector
Hi all, I have a doubt. I've installed FreeBSD 5.4 and now I need to reinstall my bootsector in the MBR . I've partitioned the disk initially with sysinstall that on my first disk complained about wrong geometry settings. From what I understood by reading the source code ,sysinstall complains about every geometry setting that gets over 65535 as number of cylinders and FreeBSD initially at boot time found this geometry for my 60GiB disk : 116336/16/63. Then sysinstall changed it to 7299/255/63. Now that I have to reinstall the boot sector I'd like to do that with the FDISK utility , but the FDISK utility sees the first CHS geometry , the one that FreeBSD sees at boot time (116336/16/63) , from the moment that I have partitioned all the system with sysinstall is safe to install the boot sector from fdisk that sees a different BIOS geometry than sysinstall? (and why sysinstall and FreeBSD see 2 different geometries?)

Re: very big files on cd9660 file system
The attached patch should make the isonum functions in iso.h much
clearer. It also gets rid of the optimizated versions; I trust the
compiler to take care of that.
The inode number situation can be improved by dividing the byte offset
of the directory entry by a suitable number guaranteed not to be
larger than the size in bytes of any directory entry, e.g. 32 (IIUC, a
directory entry contains at least 33 bytes of metadata and padding in
addition to the file name)

Using just ssh is no a problem. The machine with dynamic IP has WinXP and Putty on it. Setting remote command in Putty to "ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]" eliminates even the need to type it in in putty ssh console... Anyway the problem comes when I want to use FileZilla to make SFTP connection over SSH2 connection through home computer. I've tried Putty's tunneling, but the other end of that tunnel is still my home computer even tho my home computer is connected to www server with ssh. So my approach is to find out how can I set something up on my home freebsd machine so that connecting to some port on it, it connects to www server ssh port.
