someway to have portmaster read its portmaster.rc and get that information?
Yes. Actually, it's not portmaster specific -- it works for any method of
using ports. Just edit /etc/make.conf to include the options you want.
eg.
WITH_OPENSSL_PORT= yes
WITH_BDB_VER= 46
WITH_MYSQL_VER= 50
WITH_OPENLDAP_VER= 24
WANT_OPENLDAP_SASL= yes
WITH_APACHE2= yes
APACHE_PORT=www/apache22
WITH_MODPERL2= yes
If you want options that only apply to specific ports, then you can use
a construct like this:
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/databases/mysql*}
WITH_CHARSET=utf8
WITH_XCHARSET=none
WITH_COLLATION=utf8_unicode_ci
WITH_OPENSSL=yes
BUILD_OPTIMIZED=yes
WITH_INNODB=yes
WITH_ARCHIVE=yes
WITH_FEDERATED=yes
WITH_NDB=yes
WITH_CSV=yes
WITH_SPHINXSE=yes
.endif
If editing /etc/make.conf gives you too much grief, then look at the
ports-mgmt/portconf tool -- it works the same way (ie. by setting
variables in the make system) but has a user interface that attempts
to be a bit more friendly.

Matthew

Default list of exported variables in sh(1) - $HOSTNAME
All:
I've got a fun problem ...
I'm having trouble tracking down where the default list of exported
variables is set for sh(1).
I've got a piece of PHP code that runs on GNU/Linux but not FreeBSD
because (I think) $HOSTNAME is exported by default.
The PHP CLI calls $_ENV[HOSTNAME], which under GNU/Linux returns:
$ php -r 'print gethostbyaddr(gethostbyname($_ENV[HOSTNAME]))'
soundwave.wscollaborativefusion.com
In HTTP/CGI mode, I can call $_SERVER[]. But $_ENV[] should work in both
CLI and HTTP mode.
However, because Apache is spawned from sh(1) from rc(8) and in FreeBSD
6.x, $HOSTNAME is not exported by default, which is what $_ENV[] uses
(getenv()):
$ uname -a
FreeBSD bdb00 6.3-RELEASE-p2
$ export
SSH_CLIENT
USER
MAIL
HOME
SSH_TTY
PAGER
ENV
LOGNAME
BLOCKSIZE
TERM
PATH
SHELL
SSH_CONNECTION
FTP_PASSIVE_MODE
EDITOR
---
Compare to:
linux$ uname -a
Linux soundwave 2.6.25.14-108.fc9.x86_64
linux$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.2.33(1)-release (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu)
linux$ export|wc -l
52
linux$ export|grep -i host
declare -x HOSTNAME=soundwave
It could be set in the sources for sh(1) or shells/bash, login(1),
possibly somehow related to PAM.
src/usr.bin/login/login.c has :
static int export(const char *s) {
* - Do not export certain variables. This list was taken from the
* Solaris pam_putenv(3) man page.
* Then export it.
static const char *noexport[] = {
SHELL, HOME, LOGNAME, MAIL, CDPATH,
IFS, PATH, NULL
}..
$HOSTNAME not listed here
---
src/bin/sh/var.c has environment(){} and at least one other call to
getnamebyaddr()
Bash has set_machine_vars() in variables.c:
temp_var = set_if_not (HOSTNAME, current_host_name);
-
There are also about 500 calls to getenv() in the PHP source code under
main/, however none explicitly for $HOSTNAME.
This is similar to bash, so unless the Redhat people are maintaining
lots of SRPM patches to Bash _and_ PHP, I'm prepared to isolate the
problem to FreeBSD and sh(1)/login(1)
Thoughts? (Happy holidays all!)

Automated Support Response This is an Automated Support Response. Please do no reply to this message. IF YOU'RE A REGISTERED USER, YOU MUST INCLUDE YOUR USERNAME! Without it, we may not be able to help and you might not get a response. Your inquiry has been received and will be responded to as soon as possible unless your issue is one of the following: 1. My Username/Password you sent me doesn't work - There are two main reasons for this, either you've typed your password incorrectly or you've tried to register two accounts with the same e-mail address. Your password is CASE sensitive which means your must type it exactly as you see it in the password e-mail. If you copy and paste, make sure you don't have an extra 'space' character at the end. After you login, you'll be forced to change your password immediately to something more memorable. If you tried to create two accounts with the same e-mail address, that is not allowed. You can read more about this below. 2. Didn't receive your password email - Please check your SPAM/Junk Mail folder and settings before inquiring about where your password e-mail is. 99% of all problems with receiving password e-mail from us have to do with SPAM/Junk Mail folders and their settings. You can have your info RESENT to you by using the forgotten password link on our home page and entering the e-mail address you used to register with. If you've done all of this, send another e-mail to supp...@poolhost.com with the subject Missing PW Email and include the details along with the following info you entered on the Registration Page: Username, First Name, Last Name, City, Zip, Email 3. Forgot your password - You can use our forgotten password link available on the home page to retrieve forgotten passwords. We cannot do this for you manually. If we did this for every user, we'd never have time to run our site. If you don't have access to your old e-mail address from last season, then simply re-register. If you don't have access to your work e-mail address from home, then send your picks to the pool admin. The admin can enter you picks at any time, even if the deadline has passed. MAKE SURE YOU CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD AFTER YOU LOGIN BY GOING TO EDIT USER INFO. 4. Registering more than one account with the same email address - You CANNOT do this. We use e-mail addresses to uniquely identify each account. That is how we can implement the automated password retrieval system mentioned above. You can enter more than one set of picks with the same account however by going to Add a Pick Sheet under Pool Options in your Pro Football, College Bowl, or March Madness Pool. Your Admin must have this feature enabled however. 5. Didn't get your picks in before the deadline - We can't put them in for you. We host pools, we don't run them. You need to request this to your pool admin, the person who created and invited you to join their pool. They have the ability to put picks in for you if they choose to allow this. 6. Change your username/team name - We don't have team name, your username is what will show up on your pool standings pages and it's also the name you use to login. You can go to Edit User Info which will change your username. It changes immediately for the purpose of logging into PoolHost.com. It may NOT change immediately on your pool standings pages until the pools standings start to update again. We're constantly looking to improve our site and we will definitely listen to your feedback. We can't always implement changes you suggest immediately but we will do our best!

Re: FreeBSD update warns about 7.0 end of life
When running freebsd-update on FreeBSD 7.0, I noticed this message: WARNING: FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE is approaching its End-of-Life date. Key concept: RELEASE. Robert Huff I'm not trying to be dense, but what is that supposed to mean? I see this on http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.0R/announce.html: The FreeBSD Security Team currently plans to support FreeBSD 7.0 until February 28th, 2009. As far as I can tell, 7.1 hasn't even undergone RC2 build yet, much yet the actual -RELEASE build. So what am I supposed to do about this warning and the impending cessation of security support? Will the Security Team actually support 7.0R longer than originally expected? If so, can freebsd-update be made to understand that and stop issuing worrisome warnings? If the Security Team will stop supporting 7.0R, what _will_ they be supporting come Feb? Assuming 7.1R makes it out the door soon, will I really only have seven or so weeks to upgrade? The Security Team is apparently supporting 6.4R well into 2010; should I downgrade to keep receiving security updates?

If not, then run: freebsd-update fetch install And do not forget to reboot your system to actually use the latest kernel after install succeeds.
