I doubt you will find anyone who wants to volunteer for the role of someBastard, because that is certainly the only name which will be used to describe whoever chooses which ports are in the special category. How about implement a system where by ports register their usage to a central server. This will give us some very useful stats about port usage and after some time this is examind and all ports whos usage falls under a given measure ( to be decided again by stats ) said port is moved to a secondary port group. Eww, sounds like a good definition of spyware, I could go without people knowing exactly what I install and when. We could also use this info to prune ports not getting any use at all. Then when someone does need it, it wont be there, and will have to be re-ported. In addition to that a method of syncing ports indivitually might be an alternative way to go. That way instead of syncing the many thousands of ports to compile up the latest version of XXX you would only have to download the port you wanted and any dependencies. This is a neat idea that Marc brought up. Perhaps a dynamic ports tree is the answer. With an up to date INDEX, It probably wouldn't be hard to patch the ports system to download JUST the ports you need, and their dependencies. We would just have to decide on the method to do this. I suppose something like cvsup, or portsnap could be utilized to checkout single ports. But then again, after that, whats the point of even having sub directories for ports? Why not just have it download the framework, build the port, and delete everything.

Re: mouse dead on FreeBSD but not on Windows
Frank, thanks for your reply, this is not just a problem in xorg, it is also the mouse not working in the console (without X). I don't get an arrow cursor that I can use in the console to copy/paste text. I've tried using moused (moused_enable=YES in rc.conf) and then using /dev/sysmouse in xorg.conf and also disabling moused and using /dev/psm0 in xorg.conf. Identifier Mouse1 Driver mouse Option ProtocolPS/2 Option Device /dev/psm0 Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 (I've done tests with and w/o the ZAxisMapping line, and as mentioned with psm0 or sysmouse after /dev/ in the Device option. None worked). When using /dev/psm0 in xorg.conf I got the typical X cursor instead of the arrow, and I could move it with the mouse, although the movement was erratic ... most of the movement of the mouse was not recognized and sometimes the cursor would move to the bottom left corner of the screen Using moused and /dev/sysmouse in xorg.conf resulted in a black arrow as a cursor, as mentioned, but the cursor would not move at all. I exchanged the mouse, and now the same setup works (only tested the mouse in the console since I'm now rebuilding the xorg from ports). This is also a generic mouse (Noganet, PS/2) but it has three buttons instead of two and a wheel. Maybe the other mouse is defective, but it works without a hitch in WinXP ... or perhaps I'm missing some essential flags that need to be added for a wheel mouse? Also, I've tried different combinations of ports/types using /stand/sysinstall (post-install configurarion-mouse) and I never got an arrow shown in the screen when activating the mouse daemon with the wheel mouse. Fernan Have you tried starting mouse manually in the foreground? or with debugging flags? take a look at `man moused` I had a PS/2 mouse, pretty generic, came up in dmesg as a 4D+ mouse. It would work, but was jumping all over the screen, worked fine in windows AND interestingly enough, linux as well. might just be a glitchy implementation, worst case you gotta pickup another $5 mouse. :) __ Frank Laszlo System Administrator The VonOstin Group Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW:http://www.vonostingroup.com Mobile: 248-863-7584 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Tell you what: Go out and find out how much it would cost to print 10,000 copies of that logo on paper, exactly as it appears on the site, in crisp detail and bright colors. Then you'll see why a separate logo is required. A name, symbol, or trademark designed for easy and definite recognition, especially one borne on a single printing plate or piece of type. Yes, a _single printing plate_ or a _piece of type_. The image you reference doesn't even come close to that. you are all looking at a web graphic. Allready rendered as process colors. Its impossible to say how many printing plates its on. Obviously its more than 1. But that graphic could easily be a spot color print job, Which I think by today's standards is acceptable.

Process is always four plates, except for the rare hexachrome offset, which is six plates. Spot colors require one plate per color. Two-color jobs are pretty economical, which is why you see so much two-color work. Yes, Process colors being 4 plates, but rendered properly, it could be less. But that graphic could easily be a spot color print job, Which I think by today's standards is acceptable. I don't know what you mean by this. The current logo as it is shown on freebsd.org, COULD be printed on 2 plates, as a 2 color job. those colors being black and red. (of course red isnt true red, it would be some pantone color) But being a web graphic that it is, you cant tell that by looking at it. And I believe you stated a logo should be free of screens You only need 1 plate to do a screen, so this is also irrelevent. Screens cause a problem when you reduce a logo to small sizes, as there are limits on the line frequency you can use for screens, and if the screen is too coarse for a tiny graphic, it will look really bad. So it's best to avoid screens altogether. Worse yet is having multiple screens on several plates, in which case you have to worry about registration issues, and the screens usually have to be much more coarse, which again causes problems for small sizes. This isnt an issue with todays modern digital 4 color presses such as the iGen3. It has no problem with registration if ran by a qualified operator. Now if you are a 80's or 90's printer using an old heidelburg 2 color press, sure.. registration is very difficult when dealing with small print and screens. Furthermore, anyone with experience in the modern printing world knows that getting high quality (and affordable) printed artwork on a small piece is very simple when using the right equipment. I've done several of these type of jobs on the iGen3 we have here at my office. Anyways, this is WAY off from the original post, So I end it with that.

readline port weirdness
I'm trying to patch the readline port to support READLINE_OVERWRITE_BASE
as suggested by Edwin. im running into a bit of a snag with info files.
Here is what I have in the Makefile
.if defined(READLINE_OVERWRITE_BASE)
PREFIX= /usr
MANPREFIX= ${PREFIX}/share
INFOPREFIX= ${PREFIX}/share
CONFIGURE_ARGS=--mandir=${MANPREFIX}/man
--infodir=${INFOPREFIX}/info
.endif
the correct location for info files should be /usr/share/info (am I
wrong?) but when i do a make install for this port I get the following
errors:
ls: /usr/info/readline.info*: No such file or directory
ls: /usr/info/rluserman.info*: No such file or directory
ls: /usr/info/history.info*: No such file or directory
After reading through bsd.port.mk I found this:
.for i in ${INFO}
@${ECHO_CMD} @unexec install-info --delete %D/info/$i.info
%D/info/dir \
${TMPPLIST}
@${LS} ${PREFIX}/info/$i.info* | ${SED} -e s:${PREFIX}/::g
${TMPPLIST}
@${ECHO_CMD} @exec install-info %D/info/$i.info %D/info/dir \
${TMPPLIST}
.endfor
note the line starting with @${LS} it looks it PREFIX/info. which is my
case would be /usr/info (which is wrong) is there any reason this
shouldnt be something like ${INFOPREFIX} instead of ${PREFIX}? where
INFOPREFIX=${PREFIX}/info
This would allow for ports to set the variable without having to write a
custom installation script for allow for /usr/share/info. any ideas? Thanks

Re: Problems with bittorrent
Oh, if it is installed.. it might only be installed as
${PREFIX}/lib/libwx_gtk-2.2.so
so you may need to link it to the proper name.
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libwx_gtk-2.2.so /usr/local/lib/libwx_gtk.so

Re: jdk14 port
Ok, I figured out what the problem was. It's really quite interesting. you see, I was building this via ssh to my server. My server has had network issues (due to the connection) all day, and my ssh sessions were lagging horribly. it would freeze for a long amount of time. I noticed the build always seemed to error at a different point. So I thought to myself, maybe the ssh freezing is causing a problem so i fired screen and ran: cd /usr/ports/java/jdk14 script jdk14-out.log make package then i detached from the screen, and ran xtail jdk14-out.log to keep an eye on it. and sure enough, it built with no problems whatsoever. I have NEVER seen anything like this, but I guess it makes sense. Oh well.. -Frank Laszlo On Thu, 2003-11-06 at 12:49, Frank Laszlo wrote: It seems this port wont build, I do have linux_base installed and the linprocfs is mounted. here is my uname and error message.

Re: Problems with 'make world' stuff
So you did not run mergemaster. This is what i usually no.

RE: Complicated ipfw/ipf forwarding.
I suppose something like this might be possible with squid, Though im not sure how to do it. -Frank On Tue, 2003-10-28 at 17:30, Andras Kende wrote: -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lewis Thompson Sent: Tuesday, October 28, 2003 8:36 AM To: FreeBSD-questions Subject: Complicated ipfw/ipf forwarding. Hi, I have a public IP address and a couple of machines sitting behind a FreeBSD router doing NAT. I'm using ipnat and ipf right now (although I used to use natd/ipfw so I don't mind switching -- I started using ipf/ipnat because of an odd problem with 5.1-RELEASE but I'm switching back to 4.9 now) and wondered if it was possible to do forwarding based on DNS. For example Apache is clever enough to support virtual hosts based on the address requested. Is there any way at all to do this for forwarding on the router? For example if I had three CNAMES for the same IP red, pink and blue. Could I have red.foo.bar forwarded to 192.168.0.2, pink.foo.bar forwarded to 192.168.0.3 and say blue.foo.bar go to the local machine (i.e. the router)?
