It's xz compression, archivers/xz from ports, which is a LZMA compression and decompression tool (next to com- pression and uncompression, there are tools comparable to zcat, zgrep, zless and so on). Some details from the package description: XZ Utils is free general-purpose data compression software with a high compression ratio. XZ Utils is the successor to LZMA Utils. The core of the XZ Utils compression code is based on the LZMA SDK. The primary compression algorithm is currently LZMA2, which is used inside the .xz container format. With typical files, XZ Utils creates output 30% smaller than gzip and 15% smaller than bzip2. The XZ Utils package consists of several components: * liblzma is a compression library with an API similar to that of zlib. * xz is a command line tool with syntax similar to that of gzip. * xzdec is a decompression-only tool smaller than the full-featured xz tool. * A set of shell scripts (xzgrep, xzdiff, etc.) have been adapted from gzip to ease viewing, grepping, and comparing compressed files. * Emulation of the command line tools of LZMA Utils eases transition from LZMA Utils to XZ Utils.

Hi all, I just downloaded FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-i386-dvd1.iso.xz and the md5 checksum is correct. Can someone please tell me what does that xz at the end stand for ?

Do you have anything in /var/log/messages or maybe if you start the suspicious programs from a terminal to see their output? I've been using FreeBSD since 4.0 as a desktop, and I have never encountered problems as you describe. However, fiddling with USB stuff sometimes _can_ lead to system problems (even crash and reboot), but there are always messages that indicate some problem. > It just doesn't make much sense so I'm assuming that I must be doing > something wrong. It shouldn't be POSSIBLE, no matter which kind of userspace program you run, to do something _that_ wrong that the system is affected in that way. > Where and what kind of restrictions should I set up to > make sure that a buggy unprivileged program cannot freeze my box? You should try to find out what _exactly_ is causing the freeze, obtaining logs and messages (and maybe also run top, systat or other means of system monitoring in parallel) to see what does actually happen when the problem occurs. Options would be to separate programs in jails, or even try to run them on a VM (e. g. VirtualBox running a FreeBSD install with that program). Also make absolutely sure your hardware is okay, e. g. use memtest to check the RAM (often an indicator for unstable system behaviour). -- 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"

I see no particular objection to adding a way of running "something"
ahead of the single-user shell, but system(3) is not necessarily the
best mechanism to use for the purpose because it invokes a shell.
It would be both more efficient and more robust to call fork(2) and
exec(3) (or execve(2)) directly.
It would be more general to fork/exec "/etc/rc.single" instead of
"/sbin/ifconfig", expecting "/etc/rc.single" to be an executable
script (with an appropriate shebang line) and ignoring the failure
which would occur if it did not exist. (In your case, instead of
a script, you could make /etc/rc.single a link to /sbin/ifconfig.)

devel/anjuta: creating project does not offer project's dialog.
Using Anjuta as my potentially IDE, I realize a weird behaviour since my last try years ago. Anjuta was supposed to show a dialog about when creating a new project. Documentation explicitely mention this. But in my case (a newly installed anjuta), selecting a C-project, GTK+, then ends up in the final requester "Summary". Confirmation does not even show any created files or something else. This happens with all potentially to be created projects. Importing a hand-installed GNU autotools backed up project works fine, superficially spoken. The boxes running Anjuta are all AMD64 and running most recent FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT/amd64. Version of ports anjuta is reported to be 2.32, but webpage of the anjuta project reports 2.28. Am I missing something?
