I read the whole thread. I saw people who had individual special requirements, but I didn't see anything that suggested I was wrong in assuming the most common use case, by far, to be downloading and building a port in order to install it. Assuming that *is* indeed the commonest use case, this change makes life a little more difficult for almost everyone in order to save possibly as much as tens of minutes of wasted time for a few people. Worse than that, the new behaviour either increases downtime (by requiring that the conflicting port be removed before even starting to download the replacement) or requires, as you pointed out, setting a risky option which if accidentally misused, could break the whole system. I still think it's an ill-considered change for the worse to make the new behaviour the default.

Serious problems updating Current after switching to libxul.
Hello, I'm running Freebsd 8.0-Stable #9 Dec 17/09 on amd64. I'm running gnome, and at the time i started my update i was at Gnome 2.26 I went through UPDATING and tried to switch from firefox 2 which is marked ignore to libxul by changing WITH_GECKO=libxul removed firefox3 and installed firefox35 I used UPDATING to try and sort out libxul, but it seems i have some cyclic dependencies. I use portmaster (i did try to rebuild things for portupgrade and try, but it had bigger problems and i couldn't even update the index.) I keep updating my ports tree (cvsup) i used portsnap, and it seems that was when my problems started, i rm -rf /usr/ports/* and cvsupped the entire thing back at one point. I got an error which seems to have started the whole ugly affair with /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.gecko.mk causing post patch issues, the main problem seemed to be e2fsprogs-libuuid which i was unable to rebuild due to it wanting a bsd.gecko.mk patch which from what i've read is now removed with firefox2, i deleted stuff till i got around that for now... but... at present my key problem is a cyclic dependency when i try and rebuilt pretty much anything, with libxul as the main issue. glib20 => libxul =>glib20 => libxul =>glib20 => libxul =>glib20 => libxul =>glib20 => libxul =>glib20 I have tried installing the package for both. i've tried pkg_deleting both then installing the port, or using portmaster, i've tried portmaster --check-depends, i've tried portmaster -e to remove them and try and re-install them. I've removed about 1/2 my system and now have even more problems. (i removed gettext and now portmaster complains about missing libintl.so.8 not found. at best i get a much larger cyclic loop with: glib20 => libtool22 => libiconv => gettetxt => atk => libgmp4 => farsight => gdm => libxul => glib20 or some other combination of the cycle. Can anyone help me get my system back up and running? make.conf looks like this: WITH_MYSQL_VER=51 APACHE_VERSION=22 OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f8 WWWDIR = /web/phpmyadmin WITH_CUPS="yes" CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE=true #NO_LPR=true USE_GECKO=libxul # Begin portconf settings # Do not touch these lines .if !empty(.CURDIR:M/usr/ports*) && exists(/usr/local/libexec/portconf) _PORTCONF!=/usr/local/libexec/portconf .for i in ${_PORTCONF:S/|/ /g} ${i:S/%/ /g} .endfor .endif # End portconf settings # added by use.perl 2009-09-19 16:22:20 PERL_VERSION=5.10.1 thanks ken ___ 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"

Since I'll be able to configure the mirror on the new drives before installing any software my approach can be a bit simpler. In the example he's using a single partition for the whole disk but reduces the size if the partition by one block so that the mirror's meta data doesn't get misinterpreted as whole disk meta data. Since I anticipate using only the first 2 partitions for a couple of mirrors and using the rest of the disk as plain partitions then I don't think I need to do this but might it still be a good idea to reduce the last partition by one block anyway in case my usage changes in the future? -- Mike Clarke ___ 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"

immense delayed write to file system (ZFS and UFS2), performance issues
I realise a strange behaviour of several FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE/amd64 boxes. All boxes have the most recent STABLE. One box is a UP system, two others SMP boxes, one with a Q6600 4-core, another XEON with 2x 4-cores (Dell Poweredge III). Symptome: All boxes have ZFS and UFS2 filesystems. Since two weeks or so, sometimes the I/O performance drops massively when doing 'svn update', 'make world' or even 'make kernel'. It doesn't matter what memory and how many cpu the box has, it get stuck for several seconds and freezing. On the UP box, this is sometimes for 10 - 20 seconds. A very interesting phenomenon is the massively delayed file writing on ZFS filesystems I realise. Editing a file in 'vi' running on one XTerm and having in another Xterminal my shell for compiling this file, it takes sometimes up to 20 seconds to get the file updated after it has been written. It's like having an old, slow NFS connection with long cache delays. These massively delayed file transactions are not necessarely under heavy load, sometimes they occur in a relaxed situation. They seem to occur much more often on the UP box than on the SMP boxes, but this strange phenomenon also occur on the Dell Poweredge II, which has 16GB RAM and summa summarum 16 cores. This phenomenon does occur on ZFS- and UFS2 filesystems as well. It is hardly reproducable. Is there any known issue?

E-commerce Gateway
E-commerce Payment Gateway Solution: (E-commerce Gateway Solution for United States and Canadian Merchants) Federated Payments- USA Merchant Accounts MSI Canada- Canadian Merchant Accounts About Us Federated Payments / MSI Canada is a credit card payment processor in the United States and Canadian marketplace. We have an “A” Industry Rating with the BBB (Better Business Bureau) and annually process over 2 billion dollars in credit card payment transactions. Established in 1998, Federated Payments recently took its place as one of the Top 50 Payment Processors in the Industry and is considered the fastest growing Processor according to the Neilson Report. We service more than 20,000 merchants across the country and employ 150 sales support and technical staff in the United States and Canada. Federated Payments operates as Merchant Services Inc. Canada (MSI Canada) as its Canadian operations. Recognizing the Gateway Problem We are aware of the difficulties web developers experience when adding shopping carts to sites and then to face security compliance issues when Payment Gateways are to be integrated. In most cases, the client’s bank does not support an online payment gateway solution. This begins the clients search to find the right bank that will approve or provide a payment gateway that can comply to the shopping cart security standards. After this step is complete, the client is left to babysit the bank to ensure correspondence is maintained with the web developer until task is complete. For any developer, dropping the ball at the end is simply bad practice hence integrating PayPal saves the client from anguish and despair temporarily. PayPal charges high credit card processing rates which leads to even more client despair in the end. Professionalism is lost when the gateway page re-directs the customer to a process he is not interested in fulfilling. PayPal should be considered an additional feature and not the primary gateway function. Required customer sign-ups and account verification processes deter customers from returning to PayPal sites. Client loses retention momentum. SafePay Solution The SafePay Gateway Program is a solution for merchants to process online in a secured manner without giving up large profits for processing.

Re: Dislike the way port conflicts are handled now
Argh! Stop! I wish that people who felt the need to add to this thread would read the prior posts beforehand, and consider their comments before posting. To answer two previous posts: >> I believe that he is talking about changing _when_ the check for >> conflicts is made; whereas DISABLE_CONFLICTS ignores the check, >> regardless of when it is made. A late check is preferable to using >> DISABLE_CONFLICTS, because with that knob you can shoot yourself in >> the foot by mistakenly installing one port on top of another. > >I think the point is you can make -DDISABLE_CONFLICTS using targets >other than install ?! Obviously, you can use it for other targets. That doesn't seem to have been in doubt. The point is rather that if one disables the conflicts check and then accidentally uses the 'install' target or another target requiring 'install', and there is a conflicting port already installed, there are going to be problems. Of course that wouldn't be a good idea, but it can happen, and that is the point of having a check. -- >The idea of the change seems to be to protect people from wasting time >downloading and building something which they can't install without resolving >a conflict. In two earlier posts, a member of portmgr@, and someone else described how the change was also meant to prevent some build errors. > >How exactly was that wasted time? Surely you don't download and build a port >you're not going to install? A number of earlier posters have said that they want to do exactly that. I do it myself, to test ports. But one can also start with the intention of installing port A, only to later learn that it conflicts with an already-installed port B, and then, having discovered the conflict, decide not to install port A after all, in order to keep port B. In this case, which happens fairly often, any time spent before the discovery of the conflict would have been wasted. ___ 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"

Sometimes, not always though, I do experience spontaneous reboots without leaving any hints in logfiles whenver I "beat" my disks "excessively". This might be something like: dd if=/dev/null of=/some/file bs=1M count=4k plus parallel disk accesses by mail and news server. If I omit all parallel disk access those dd's will run to completion without reboots, always. What you have is a common symptom of hardware problems - either a weak power supply or a broken disk controller. In the first case because two drives try to suck power where only one was doing it before and in the second reason because the disk controller is too broken to correctly handle simultaneous access to two drives. Unfortunately, if you don't get any console error messages it is hard to tell which.

fresh software for freebsd - build service
The amount of available software for FreeBSD could largely be improved by the availablility of a Build Service. In this regard I have opened up a request to provide a FreeBSD target for the openSUSE Build Service. It allows users to compile any software found on the internet in a clean development environment, make it available to other users and provide updates regularely by automatic re-compiling. I believe that would ease porting software that is already available for Linux to FreeBSD considerably. vote for it if you are interested: https://features.opensuse.org/308617 ___ 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"

I'd agree with this too. The idea of the change seems to be to protect people from wasting time downloading and building something which they can't install without resolving a conflict. How exactly was that wasted time? Surely you don't download and build a port you're not going to install? What the change actually does is penalise people who want to download and build regardless of conflicts, to reduce the time between uninstalling the conflicting port and being able to install the replacement. This seems to me to be a very badly thought-out change which should be reverted.
