Announcing: FreeBSD Custom XFCE ISO (take II)
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hey all, This is a continuation of the effort that started with this post: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2009-May/198284.html This little project also found its way to Distrowatch Weekly news (Thanks!): http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20090615#news Since there was an update of the base system to 7.2-RELEASE-p1 a few days ago, it was a good chance to update this ISO and also include some newer packages. The new ISO may be downloaded from here (space and bandwidth courtesy of Glen Barber): http://freebsd.dev-urandom.com/iso/i386/xfce-desktop/7.2-RELEASE-p1-i386-disc1.iso Don't forget to check the integrity of the download using the CHECKSUM / signature files provided: http://freebsd.dev-urandom.com/iso/i386/xfce-desktop/7.2-RELEASE-p1-i386-disc1-iso.CHECKSUM.MD5 http://freebsd.dev-urandom.com/iso/i386/xfce-desktop/7.2-RELEASE-p1-i386-disc1.iso.asc The following tarball contains the options used to build the ports. The ports tree on the ISO is the actual one used to build the packages: http://freebsd.dev-urandom.com/iso/i386/xfce-desktop/options.tar.gz Note: Updated openoffice.org packages (from the same ports tree) will follow soon. Changes from the previous version == - - Wbar was removed. The package would install without problems but did not run. Please install this from ports. - - Some other small apps were introduced. See below. - - Base system was updated to 7.2-RELEASE-p1 - - Ports that use python now use python26. This was not done intentionally, the tinderbox built them that way. It delayed me however as the INDEX file (required in the release process) was still pointing to python25 dependencies and was causing errors. List of main packages == This is a comprehensive list of packages included in the ISO: abiword, archivers (zip, unzip, rar, unrar) bash, bluefish, cdrtools, dvd+rw-tools, evince, firefox3, gimp, gnash, gnumeric, gnupg, inkscape, mercurial, pkg_rmleaves, portaudit, portupgrade, rdesktop, rtorrent, ristretto, samba, scribus, sudo, thunderbird, tilda, wget, xfburn, xfce4 + plugins, xorg, zim. Several other packages are included as dependencies of the above top level ones. The total list of packages is 496. There are no conflicts between them, you may even install all of them during the initial setup or afterwards. I will start preparing a server ISO (CD sized) soon. I also welcome all ideas on what to include/exclude in later versions of this DVD. It has been suggested to include openoffice packages as abiword / gnumeric don't cut it for many people. This will increase the size of the download, although hopefully not dramatically as most dependencies are probably already included. I am all open to ideas, so please email me your suggestions and comments.

Why you don't use exec flag of find ?
You could use:

Re: Problem with bash script
$ find ./ -name *.pem -exec cp {} /usr/home/tmp/something \;
I'm a novice with shell scripting myself, but what's the difference
between that code and some variant thereof using a pipe and xargs?
Are they simply two different ways of achieving the same result? Or
is there some more important difference I may be overlooking?

As has been hinted before you're not handling the EOF case. Files like:
?php
class foo
{
function __construct() { echo 'foo'; };
};
Are perfectly valid php files and actually preferred for included files,
rather then a terminating ?, because one can start filling the output by
trailing whitespace before EOF and thus not set any header() anymore. The
above code will wait indefinitely for the next char or spin like mad if
you're
using non-blocking IO.
YUP.
I thought my initial getchar() != EOF would handle that.
But then there's that do-forever loop. I remember Jeffrey's
post and tried a case 'EOF' or case '-1'; thar gives me
compiler errors.
Suggestions?
You should really take the pointers from Jeffrey Goldberg and record states
and decide based on the state, rather then inlined switch statements, if only
for readability.
You're also in trouble with ?xml, but that's an entirely different beast and
you might actually be doing the right thing from your usage perspective.

As has been hinted before you're not handling the EOF case. Files like:
?php
class foo
{
function __construct() { echo 'foo'; };
};
Are perfectly valid php files and actually preferred for included files,
rather then a terminating ?, because one can start filling the output by
trailing whitespace before EOF and thus not set any header() anymore. The
above code will wait indefinitely for the next char or spin like mad if
you're
using non-blocking IO.
YUP.
I thought my initial getchar() != EOF would handle that.
But then there's that do-forever loop. I remember Jeffrey's
post and tried a case 'EOF' or case '-1'; thar gives me
compiler errors.
Suggestions?
You should really take the pointers from Jeffrey Goldberg and record states
and decide based on the state, rather then inlined switch statements, if
only
for readability.
You're also in trouble with ?xml, but that's an entirely different beast
and
you might actually be doing the right thing from your usage perspective.

$ find ./ -name *.pem -exec cp {} /usr/home/tmp/something \;
I'm a novice with shell scripting myself, but what's the difference
between that code and some variant thereof using a pipe and xargs?
Are they simply two different ways of achieving the same result? Or
is there some more important difference I may be overlooking?
Moises' way is less efficient as it will copy each file separately, however,
if he ends with a + rather then a \;, then using exec is marginally faster as
you eliminate 1 pipe from the tool chain.
See find(1) for more info.

Using find and pax will correctly handle filenames with spaces and other crap. If you use the -depth option in find, you'll also preserve directory modtimes: root# cd /src/directory root# mkdir -p /dest/directory root# find . -depth -print | pax -rwd -pe /dest/directory Use -rwdu if /dest/directory already exists and you don't want to overwrite newer files there with older files from /src/directory. If you want to store the output from pax as an archive file, use the cpio format for the most portability and the least number of limitations on things like pathname size. Another advantage of find vs backquotes is the ability to filter things out of the files being copied: root# find . -depth -print | fgrep -f /files/to/ignore | pax -x cpio -wd | gzip -1c /tmp/src.pax.gz [ archive the pax file, copy it to another system, etc. ] root# cd /dest/directory root# gunzip -c src.pax.gz | pax -r -pe If you have spaces in your filenames and you still want to do some filtering before running xargs, use tr to change newlines to nulls: root# find . -depth -print | /some/filter/here | tr '\012' '\000' | xargs -0 /some/command On Tue, 16 Jun 2009 16:16:26 +0100, Daniel Bye danie...@slightlystrange.org said: D It does exactly the same as `command -a rgs`, but all characters between D the parentheses are taken literally (in the backtick form, certain chars D have special meaning, but not in the $() form.) Either solution will run the command first and then rescan the line in the calling script. You can run into problems when the results of the backquoted command are too big; there's an upper limit to how many arguments you can put in a for loop or pass to a program. Also, any spaces or weird characters in the output are likely to play hell with whatever else you're doing. You're much safer using a pipe. Use backquotes or $() when you're pretty sure the output won't be too big. To be safe, check the argument count when you run something: #!/bin/bash set X `date` # should give 6 tokens plus X. case $# in 1) echo command didn't print anything ;; 7) echo success: $*; echo year should be 7th arg: $7 ;; *) echo something else is wrong ;; esac exit 0 -- Karl Vogel I don't speak for the USAF or my company There is nothing more satisfying than having someone take a shot at you and miss. --Murphy's Laws of Combat ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Given you're running the recommended shell and you're still having problems sporadically (users = ok, root = not), I'd start the invasive discovery why it's not working. First is system-wide: is your kernel version and userland in sync? Such as RELENG_7 userland with RELENG_7 kernel? Running non-synchronized kernel and userland (aka world) is not supported* and will cause problems. Back to the individualized problem -- if you backup your root's dotfiles, and then remove or rename them, does the problem remain? What if you set root's home directory to one of your user's home directory as a test to see if it's the dotfiles? These would be my next steps to diagnose what might be the problem.

I remember Jeffrey's post and tried a case 'EOF' or case '-1'; thar gives me compiler errors. Look at the man page for getchar() paying close attention to the type of what it returns. You should really take the pointers from Jeffrey Goldberg and record states and decide based on the state, rather then inlined switch statements, if only for readability. Even for a very simple task, the logic of your code is very very hard to read. Clarify the logic (using the idea of a state) and you will find that this can be programmed very simply. -j -- Jeffrey Goldberghttp://www.goldmark.org/jeff/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

OpenSSL Base vs. OpenSSL Port?
I had been running 6.2 with openssl base for quite a while. Then I attempted to implement the dkim-filter port which required using openssl to generate keys. That's when I noticed that openssl is broken on my machine. See this example: # openssl genrsa -out rsa.private 1024 Error configuring OpenSSL 28086:error:260AB089:engine routines:ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string:invalid cmd name:/usr/src/secure/lib/libcrypto/../../../crypto/openssl/crypto/engine/eng_ctrl.c:318: 28086:error:0E07406D:configuration file routines:CONF_modules_load:module initialization error:/usr/src/secure/lib/libcrypto/../../../crypto/openssl/crypto/conf/conf_mod.c:234:module=engines, value=openssl_engines, retcode=-1 So I thought rebuilding world might fix it and while I was at it, I upgraded to 6.4 but still have the same problem. Next I tried installing openssl from ports. This openssl seems to work: # /usr/local/bin/openssl genrsa -out rsa.private 1024 Generating RSA private key, 1024 bit long modulus ..++ ..++ e is 65537 (0x10001) But now I am unclear as to what state my system is in. What is the preferred method for using openssl from ports vs. using openssl base. I don't really care which I use but want to avoid trouble with multiple versions of openssl and/or ports compiled against the wrong version. I've been Googling all day but can not find a clear guide. Specifically, what should I have in my /etc/make.conf and what portupgrade command should I use to ensure things are build against the correct openssl? I've seen things like OPENSSL_OVERWRITE_BASE=yes, NO_OPENSSL=yes, WITH_OPENSSL_PORT=yes, WITH_OPENSSL_BETA=yes, and portupgrade -rf openssl but remain confused. Thanks, Drew -- Be a Great Magician!

Crusty upgrade (was Make Question)
Lowell Gilbert wrote: Manolis Kiagias son...@otenet.gr writes: I have inherited an old FreeBSD 5.1 machine(5.1-RELEASE-p18). I realize that the short answer to my question is more than likely to upgrade the OS to a current release and I would if I had that option right now, but I do not. I needed to upgrade the perl/openssh/openssl implementation on this box. My first thought was to use the port on the machine that was from that era but make fails. So then I thought to csup the ports tree and try with a new version, that fails as well. The error is as follows: 5.1 (in fact all 5.X) has reached EOL. The latest ports tree won't compile stuff for 5.X. Use the following line in your ports-supfile to get the last ports tree that was supported in 5.X: *default release=cvs tag=RELEASE_5_EOL instead of *default release=cvs tag=. Still, since this is going to be really old you may still have problems (missing distfiles and so on). But is worth trying if you must stay with 5.X for whatever reason. One thing it won't do is get you any of the bug fixes to the ssh port. As a number of people have pointed out this is turning into a bigger headache than it needs to be. The good thing is that allowed me to get the ok to upgrade the system. This box will be taken out of service in the near future but I do need it to remain functional for a couple months. Is there a recommended upgrade path? I know about cvsup and whatnot. What I mean is are there some blatant gotchas when making this big a jump (5.1p18 - 6.4)? Are there some recommended stops along the way or can it be done in one fell swoop. Is Colin Percival's freebsd-update.sh a viable way to approach this? http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2007-11-11-freebsd-major-version-upgrade.html This is a production box so I want to cover my bases before I jump into this.

Even if it were possible, I strongly recommend installing from scratch when crossing a ,0 boundary and am not alone in that opinion. It provides the opportunity to resize partitions; there is less likelihood of a library mismatch, and you will recover the space used by any orphaned files. (My personal practice is to install to a new disk, and mount the old disk read-only until I'm willing to bet there's nothing more I need.)

it originally deleted both C and C++ comments. i think it was

you're right above with numbers two and three. pretty sure that

The worlds only editorial space for video content on sustainability
Hi Today we are launching our massive effort to create the world's only editorial place for content on sustainability. What you see on ideasforchange.tv is still just a teaser, a demo. We know that the power and knowledge of the grassroots can be really powerful if put in good use. We know that the right information is out there; we know that videos are made of products, seminars, ideas, interviews, and meetings. We know that a lot of spaces, schools, organizations, people and companies do a lot of good work already. But we need to join forces. We need a place to meet, connect, engage and exist. We need to do it together. We need to join forces to create a more sustainable world. On so many levels like: economy, urbanity, ecology, peace, social issues and way of thinking. We want to start by asking for your help. Your help to build our forces, your help to gather all information available and to tell your friends. We need your help with inputs, suggestions and we need you to tell us your needs on sustainability. Basically we need your help to change the world. Because that's exactly what we are aiming to do. And that's why we are building this global team, webpage and project. To start connecting the dots. To become bigger, smarter, and so that our ideas on how to make a more sustainable world can become real. Soon! And this time its done for real. So join our newsletter, send us your video material and inputs, engage yourself and expect the beta site to launch in august.

If you refer that I use bash for root is the problem, there is no difference by switching root's shell to sh. With sh as the shell for root: 1. Still cannot login as root from the console.

What is the problem you think that I should fix? any ideas? any thread related error as the child process die when in root? Best regards Unga Unga, This is the first time I've read from you that you were using the recommended shell. Given you're running the recommended shell and you're still having problems sporadically (users = ok, root = not), I'd start the invasive discovery why it's not working. First is system-wide: is your kernel version and userland in sync? Such as RELENG_7 userland with RELENG_7 kernel? Running non-synchronized kernel and userland (aka world) is not supported* and will cause problems. Back to the individualized problem -- if you backup your root's dotfiles, and then remove or rename them, does the problem remain? What if you set root's home directory to one of your user's home directory as a test to see if it's the dotfiles? These would be my next steps to diagnose what might be the problem. Good luck. * - Only supported is when you're upgrading and have a newer kernel just long enough to install world. Dear Tim I suspect this is a build error. Therefore, let me rebuild and see whether the problem go away. I'm going to do a careful rebuild more towards the end of the week. I'll let the list and you know the result. If the problem still persists, I really like to know what causes it.

Based upon my experience and the apparent lack of current support, I would not recommend using these tools for binary updates, especially in an automated fashion.

Pre-compiled package shortage
Hello everyone. I am a former user of Freebsd-7.2 Release who migrated to Debian. I was unable to find an ftp server that had a decent enough list of precompiled packages (including the default at ftp.freebsd.org; for example, when installing gnome2 via precompiled packages, the package manager was unable to find a number of dependencies available in package form. True, I can compile them from source, but this is rather time consuming. Does anyone know of an ftp server dedicated to maintaining a comprehensive list of precompiled packages (a la Debian Testing)? In all other regards, I favor freebsd over Debian or any other linux distribution, and would like to return to using it. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
