Re: math/py-numpy vs. math/atlas-devel
First, sorry I missed the original problem report, I'm not subscribed to -questions. Usually ports questions (including those about tools) are handled on freebsd-po...@freebsd.org, but OTOH if you're not sure where to send a question it's always better to start on the -questions list. :) Second, thanks to b.f. for the very thorough analysis of the problem. I will respond and trim a bit as I go. Third, I've cc'ed maho@ since the genesis of the problem is that math/atlas and math/atlas-devel aren't setting CONFLICTS when apparently they should be. maho, if you need any help with this let me know. b. f. wrote: > Scott Bennett wrote: >> I would like to install science/gnudatalanguage but have been running >> into various obstacles.

The way that -x is implemented currently really depends on the user's definition of the exclude pattern, and is designed to exclude things as early as possible so as to avoid what would ultimately become wasted effort. It's hard to justify modifying the code to guess that something we've already started working on might match what we think the user MEANT instead of what they SAID. > Problem #3: > > The +IGNOREME checks in portmaster aren't properly implemented for > this case, so they fail to prevent math/atlas from being built. s/properly implemented for/designed to handle/ If you think about this for a second, the entries in /var/db/pkg are exclusively related to installed ports, so trying to use an +IGNOREME file for this purpose doesn't make sense, although I can sympathize with the OPs sense of desperation here. :) > So what can you do while these problems are being fixed?

Congratulations, you've managed to defeat three sets of safeguards in
portmaster.
Problem #1
math/atlas and math/atlas-devel don't have proper CONFLICTS entries in
their Makefiles (this should be fixed), so the following code in
portmaster, from dependency_check ():
1612 conflicts=''
1613 if pm_cd $d_port; then
1614 grep -ql ^CONFLICTS Makefile &&
1615 conflicts=`pm_make_b -V CONFLICTS`
1616 else
1617 fail "Cannot cd to $d_port"
1618 fi
1619 for glob in $conflicts; do
1620 confl_p=`pkg_info -I $glob 2>/dev/null`
1621 if [ -n "$confl_p" ]; then
1622 confl_p=${confl_p%% *}
1623 echo ''
1624 echo "===>>> The dependency
for ${origin}"
1625 echo " seems to be
handled by $confl_p"
1626 echo ''
1627 d_port="$pd/`origin_from_pdb $confl_p`"
1628 fi
1629 done
doesn't substitute your alternative dependency, math/atlas-devel, for
math/atlas.
Problem #2:
You're using the -x flag incorrectly. Or portmaster isn't
implementing it properly when the port to be excluded is not actually
installed, take your pick. It's not completely fool-proof. Since you
don't have math/atlas installed, the code in portmaster's
dependency_check ():
1632 origin="${d_port#$pd/}" ;
iport=`iport_from_origin ${origin}`
1633
1634 if [ -n "$iport" ]; then
1635 check_exclude $iport || continue
1636 else
1637 check_exclude $origin || continue
1638 fi
gives origin="math/atlas", and then uses:
385 iport_from_origin () {
386 local dir
387 dir=`grep -l "@comment ORIGIN:${1}$" $pdb/*/+CONTENTS`
388
389 # It should not happen that more than one port meets this
390 # requirement, but it can if the pkg data is corrupted.
391 dir="${dir%%/+CONTENTS*}"
392 echo ${dir#$pdb/}
393 }
to find that iport="" , so "check_exclude math/atlas" is called. Then,
in accordance with:
1483 check_exclude () {
1484 [ -n "$PM_EXCL" ] || return 0
1485
1486 local pat
1487
1488 for pat in $PM_EXCL; do
1489 case "$1" in
1490 *${pat}*)
1491 if [ -n "$PM_VERBOSE" ]; then
1492 echo "===>>> Skipping $1"
1493 echo " because it matches the
pattern: *${pat}*"
1494 echo ''
1495 fi
1496 return 1 ;;
1497 esac
1498 done
1499
1500 return 0
1501 }
check_exclude tries to match your patterns in PM_EXCL against
"math/atlas". But you've got "atlas-" in PM_EXCL (after portmaster's
globstrip removed the trailing asterisk, negating your attempt protect
it with quotes), which won't match because of the hyphen. It would
have matched if math/atlas were actually installed, in which case
iport="atlas-3.8.3_1,1" and portmaster would have compared iport with
*atlas-*. You must use a port origin glob with the -x flag when the
port that you wish to exclude isn't installed.
Problem #3:
The +IGNOREME checks in portmaster aren't properly implemented for
this case, so they fail to prevent math/atlas from being built. To
see this, Continue along in dependency_check (). Here, since iport="",
dependency_check () next calls "check_interactive math/atlas":
1459 check_interactive () {
1460 [ -n "$INTERACTIVE_UPDATE" ] || return 0
1461
1462 local update_to
1463
1464 [ -n "$2" ] && update_to=" to $2"
1465
1466 case "$INTERACTIVE_

x11/lxpanel build fails - wrong linux base?
Hi I am trying to build x11/lxde-meta in a 8.0RC2 tinderbox. lxpanel fails because it depends on linux-alsa-lib. linux-alsa-lib fails because eco# make ===> linux-alsa-lib-1.0.10.3_2 bsd.linux-rpm.mk test failed: default package building at OSVERSION>=800076 was changed to linux-f10 ports, please define OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS to build other linux infrastructure ports. *** Error code 1 [the above is make in /usr/ports/audio/linux-alsa-lib. Ports and source for the host are exactly the same as the tinderbox.] I have WITHOUT_ALSA=true in lxpanel's options and I have even changed the line in lxpanel/Makefile: eco# diff Makefile Makefile.original 31c31 < WITH_ALSA=off --- WITH_ALSA=yes so how do I stop lxpanel calling linux-alsa-lib? Alternatively can I make it use linux-f10-alsa-lib by changing the Makefile to point to linux-f10-alsa-lib? thanks Chris ___ 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"

If you have installed Fedora on a hard disk and you're running this Linux from this hard disk (in a PC), and want to connect to it and use its UI (on another PC that runs FreeBSD), you can easily set the environmental variable DISPLAY so it does correspond to the Linux PC and then run its applications (there) and view them on the FreeBSD PC; this is mostly done through a SSH connection, e. g. freebsd% ssh -X myusern...@192.168.84.101 Password: fedora$ export DISPLAY=192.168.84.100 fedora$ krita (now see krita runnin on Fedora on your FreeBSD's X) In this example, 192.168.84.100 is the FreeBSD system, and 192.168.84.101 is the Fedora system. You can as well run a complete window manager or desktop environment. There are other tools in the ports collection that allow things like full remote-desktopping. BUT if you want to run programs from the Fedora disk on your FreeBSD system, things get more complicated, allthough FreeBSD has a Linux ABI (alternative binary interface). In this case, you would mount your external hard disk and then execute programs from it. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ 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"

On a production system, in most cases RELEASE is the branch you want to follow, beginning from X.Y-RELEASE and then tacking the security updates X.Y-RELEASE-pZ. The tool freebsd-update is very good for this task, especially when you're not running a custom kernel. STABLE is a good solution when you want to use a stable system, but are interested in additions between the releases. Things that are tested and found working are present in STABLE and will often appear in the upcoming RELEASE. CURRENT is interesting for you - as Adam said - for testing and development, and if you are intendedly interested in "bleeding edge" software. Note that it can happen that a CURRENT system of today won't build, but will tomorrow. It's the development branch. In any case: You should re-install or re-compile ALL of your applications when you perform the step to a new release (e. g. 7.2 -> 8.0). You can install the 7-compat port to avoid this (downward compatibility libraries). -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ 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"

Tracking commit messages from cli
Hi all With pkg_version I can easily see which installed ports has newer versions available, but what I miss is a way to see what has changed. The reason for this is that commit messages often say that only the pkg-plist has changed or something that does not make me want to update. Right now I'm reading the commit messages from the cvs web frontend, but it would be awesome with a program that could say: gd-2.0.35_1,1 < needs updating (index has 2.0.35_2,1) Commit messages between the versions: blah blah blah blah ... ... ... I know freshports exist, but I would rather not have to open a web browser. Does such a program exist or do I have to write my own. In the latter case can anyone point me to an easy way to get raw-text versions of commit messages without having to track the whole tree. Does freshports e.g. have an api -- it has all the necessary information, just not available in a suitable form (to my knowledge) Best regards Troels Kofoed Jacobsen ___ 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"

7.2-p4 serial console not showing kernel messages?
All, I'm having trouble getting 7.2-p4 to run. I'm using nanoBSD, either under VMware using a virtual serial null-modem or on an Alix Soekris-like serial-only CF-based device, both show this problem: my serial console does not display kernel messages, they all go to the VGA console! I'm using the nanoBSD cust_comsole function to enable the console. Relevant files are shown here: /boot.config: -h -S57600 /etc/ttys, only one line is "on": ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" xterm on secure These are still in my kernel conf, if I remove these I get no kernel messages at all (kernel boots fine with this though): device atkbdc # AT keyboard controller device atkbd # AT keyboard device kbdmux # keyboard multiplexer device vga # VGA video card driver I have also tried to set this in the loader, no luck: hint.sio.0.flags="0x30" On the serial console, I see the boot manager (boot0) and the loader just fine. "show" in the loader says "console=comconsole" so that seems to be fine. However all kernel output goes to the VGA console. I *do* get a login prompt after a while on the serial console though. If I boot the same kernel over PXE on the ALIX, the kernel messages *do* go to the serial console... What am I overlooking?

Portsnap and freebsd-update are a cinch to use. As for freebsd-update: It has limitations; /inter alia/ see the DESCRIPTION section of the man page. If that's something one can live with, use it.

Can the installer be told to not touch "/home" at install time (I > appreciate I would have to ensure I mapped the current /dev/hda2 > terminology to slices in BSD parlance) Hi David, Yes, you can use sysinstall to _carefully_ partition and label only parts of an existing disk. It is certainly possible, but it is also slightly risky. One mistake and you can wipe tons of useful data. My own advice would be to *wait* until you have at least some way to backup your existing data. First make sure that you have a working and reliable copy of your existing data (meaning "you can read *all* of it from the backup medium and verify that it matches the existing files"). Then you can start experimenting with partitioning tools. We will be glad to have you as a FreeBSD user, and you asked at the right place. But losing data is always a bad thing, so it's ok if you keep using Debian for a while, until you have a reliable backup of everything. > 2. Does the fact that this is an EXT3 partition matter? (I have read > FreeBSD supports ext2, and ext3 is just ext2 with a journal, so it can be > mounted as ext2 if needed). I've seen ext3 partitions that are not mountable by our ext2fs driver. So your mileage may vary a lot here, depending on the exact on-disk format of your partition. You should probably keep this in mind when you prepare your backup mediums too. If at all possible, try to use a filesystem for the backup storage that is readable by both Linux *and* FreeBSD. VFAT is a possibility, but its file size limitations and partition size limitations are often annoying. Network-accessible storage is better. If nothing else works, you can always dump a "raw" tarball on a disk: linux# tar cf - / | dd bs=4m of=/dev/sda3 Then you can simply untar the "raw device" from FreeBSD. > 3. Is it possible/beneficial to convert this to UFS once FreeBSD is > installed? There are a few benefits indeed. The native filesystems of FreeBSD are these days UFS and ZFS. They are actively maintained, so you get the benefit of bugfixes and extensive testing from everyone else who uses the same filesystems. ___ 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"
