AFFECTS: users of devel/gettext (i.e.: YOU)
AUTHOR: a...@freebsd.org
Another version of gettext (0.18), and another shared library version
bump (from intl.8 to intl.9), so:
All ports that have an identifiable known direct dependency on gettext
have had their PORTREVISIONs bumped. If after upgrading:
# portupgrade -rf gettext
# portmaster -w -r gettext
The upgrade of devel/gobject-introspection may fail because it is looking
for libintl.so.8. In this case, do the following:
# cd /usr/ports/devel/gobject-introspection
# make clean
# make deinstall
# make install clean
Then continue your upgrade procedure normally.
If there are still ports on your system that are looking for libintl.so.8
(either in ${LOCALBASE}/lib/compat/pkg, or non-existent), _please_ file
a PR so that a correct direct dependency can be added.
Once you are satisfied that no ports still depend on the old versions (such
as libgettextpo.so.4 and libintl.so.8) you can safely delete them from the
${LOCALBASE}/lib/compat/pkg directory if they are present there.

Am I right? The packages are built from the ports tree itself. Therefore if your ports tree matches the one that is used to build the packages exactly you will have no problems. If your ports tree is newer you will have no problems attempting to upgrade using a port. However if you want to use packages after you upgraded via ports and the build cluster has yet to catch up to your version the package may "depend" on an old version and see to install it. -- Eitan Adler ___ 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"

As I understand it journals work by writing to disk a log of all the changes that have to be made - waits for confirmation that it wrote the data - and then attempts to make those changes. If after the confirmation there is a crash the log file is replayed. Certain virtual machines will report to the OS that it wrote the data to disk before it actually does so.

Terminal thinks start of line is first character of previous line
For some reason the output of my terminal at times seems to put the first character of a line as the last character of the previous line. This occurs with x11/Terminal x11/Eterm x11/xterm and probably others. As far as I could tell this does not not occur on console but I have not tested as thoroughly. echo $TERM $COLUMNS xterm 140 I'm unsure what other debugging data is needed.
