The best way to get along with sysinstall is not to use it. Or use it as little as possible.

Now, you may be wondering exactly /how/ to do the stuff you want from the command line. The Handbook is a really very good reference for that, or you can search the web or ask here. Getting hold of the latest system sources and compiling and installing FreeBSD from them is very well covered, as are alternative binary-only methods for those who do not want to spend time compiling.

Re: Sorry. Numpty alert! FreeBSD Jails... Help?
Hi guys, just as I've been helping out already I did actually have this lot in my Wiki: http://wiki.optiplex-networks.com/xwiki/bin/view/FreeBSD/Installing_FreeBSD [quote] Please take note however that the *Buildworld* environment needs to have *all sources* installed into the system in order to compile and build. This however should really only affect people who wish to use *FreeBSD Jails* as standard non-Jail configured systems will run fine with the default selection above. [/quote Which is exactly the same as Andy has just mentioned below. The rest of the procedure then is pretty trivial I think Dave is getting confused about how to use the sysintall software which I did at first too a few years back when I started with FreeBSD but now that I am used to it, I don't suffer any more. The next release of FreeBSD won't have that any more from what I recall reading and will change to something else? - Correct me if wrong...

Re: Sorry state of the rsync based CVS,replication
Hi, [...] Regarding the permission of the Attic subdirs in place The development/ section of the FTP site is something I hadn't looked at before so it took me a little time to find what populates it and investigate a little. I *think* the issue with the Attic directories not including world-read permissions was either an issue with a badly formed chmod(1) done a long time ago or an issue with the mechanism that populates that portion of the FTP site missing a umask setting in the script that does it some time back in history (it's there now). Not all of the Attic directories had the wrong permissions, it seemed to stop some time in 2007. I adjusted the permissions on ftp-master so hopefully this issue is fixed. However ... Great news. I'll check various rsync source later and see if the situation improves. We are moving to svn and svnsync for the freebsd source tree (and I am happy with this), but the ports do not seem to be available using SVN (or not in a documented way). Can something be done to restore RSYNC mirroring of the CVS tree to a working state ? The FTP site desperately needs to go on a diet so we're poking around to see if there is some stuff that can be dropped. This section of the site is a candidate for being removed. As you say the ports are not available in SVN but I'm curious why you use the content from the FTP site instead of just using a CVSUP mirror. Is there some benefit to it? We would sort of like to stop providing this as part of the FTP site if there really isn't any benefit to it over using the cvsup mirror infrastructure which won't be going away any time soon. The benefit is organisational to us. We did use cvsup in the past but it has been a pain to maintain as all the other external sources we keep in sync with use rsync. That combined with the requirement for m3 etc. for the sole purpose of syncing the CVS tree when there are alternatives (rsync for the freebsd cvs tree and more recently svnsync) made the switch to rsync a no brainer (note that this decision was taken long before csup came to life). Don't take this as flamebait, because I have no intention in starting a war on this particular issue, but as good as cvsup is, this is unfortunately a fairly isolated tool that, from my prospective (which is necessarily biaised and incomplete), does not offer any feature compelling enough to prefer it over rsync in our case. That position is by essence just a personal view, applicable to me only and not to anybody else. Also I have to admit that now that the m3 dependency is gone with csup, it becomes easier to return to it. Now if the plan is to eliminate rsync CVS mirroring (and I am in no position to criticize such a decision that is very well justified in your mail), we will of course adapt and go to one of the supported methods for CVS tree mirroring. If this means cvsup only, then we will do it without any hard feeling. I already figured that we must be almost the only ones to use rsync for CVS tree mirroring (otherwise that issue would have been detected and fixed a long time ago), and I don't expect (nor demand) the project to maintain a service for just one user, this would be ridiculous and unreasonable. Anyways, thank you very much for taking the time to look at this issue and hopefully having fixed it. This is really greatly appreciated.

On Wed, 2010-10-27 at 14:45 +0200, Patrick Bihan-Faou wrote: We use FreeBSD extensively and keep a local mirror of the CVS repository. Up until recently things where working properly with the various servers listed in http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/mirrors-rsync.html, but sometime during the summer ftp13.freebsd.org did not respond anymore and since then rsync replication is broken. The main issue (besides the removal of ftp13.freebsd.org) is that most rsync sources refuse to replicate the content of the .Attic directories in the CVS tree. This means that performing a check-out on ports using a tag usually won't work as some files will not be there anymore. Here are the typical logs I get using most rsync servers: rsync: opendir /3/freebsd-core/development/FreeBSD-CVS/ports/chinese/pcmanx/files/Attic (in vol) failed: Permission denied (13) At this moment the only rsync server that provides an adequate replication of the CVS repository is ftp2.tw.FreeBSD.org. As others have reported this was caused by the permissions on the Attic directories not including world read permission. For sites where it was working it's actually an indication they're not following best practices for a mirror site. It's typically a bad idea to have the thing that allows access to the content of the mirror site running with the same credentials as what keeps the mirror site up to date. We don't use the 'feature' that allow for (pre-staging content that the world shouldn't have access to for a period of time, allowing the mirror sites to get fully populated before the release date) but I know of other projects that do. The ftp-master machines don't have that in place because they're not public and they need to allow the blessed mirrors access to everything (for the purposes of pre-staging, if we were actually using that feature...). The development/ section of the FTP site is something I hadn't looked at before so it took me a little time to find what populates it and investigate a little.

Re: Sorry... newbie
I'd like to add that though it takes (quite) long to build and install the jdk (and maybe if you're on a modem also downloading can take a while), it does work very well. I use it primarily with konqueror for applets and well it just works (with all the usual quirks as on linux -- say cut and paste...) and though not really rocketing it's fast enough. I'm pretty sure that server side it works a lot better (as it seems to do on every OS). Dan On Tuesday 19 July 2005 22:53, Andrew L.

Re: Sorry for the newbie questions :(
begin quotation of Mário Gamito on 2004-12-07 23:59:33 +: 1. I've instaled FreeBSD 5.3 and compiled portaudit as the first port. Portaudit didn't allow me to install apache13-modssl because there is a security problem with the port that comes in the CD. How can i then install apache13-modssl ? cvsup your ports tree. 2. I want to install PostgreSQL 8. The port version that is on the CD is 8 beta2, but i see in www.freebsd.org that there is already a port for 8 beta4. How can i import this new port ? cvsup your ports tree. I read a lot about cvsup and other stuff, but it seems very confusing to me. I cannot understand the whole picture. My question is: how can i import a *single* port ? Common practice is to cvsup most of the ports tree. The example cvsup documents how to exclude subdirectories of ports you're not going to use (for example, all ports of a different language). If you just want to import a single port, you could either refine your cvsup file so as to only grab that port, or you could browse the CVS repository via the web and grab the appropriate files to place in your ports tree. You should, however, probably just cvsup your ports tree. The example cvsup file is your friend, as is the Handbook section on CVSup. 3. Where can i find information about supported hardware ? Namely SATA controlers ? Does FreeBSD suport the Intel ones ? Look in the Handbook. pgpZ5USd4gLoK.pgp Description: PGP signature

I read a lot about cvsup and other stuff, but it seems very confusing to me. I cannot understand the whole picture. My question is: how can i import a *single* port ? Maybe what you are missing is that when you install the whole ports tree, what you are installing are not the ports, but the framework and instructions for downloading and installing the ports. You must install (and possibly update) your ports tree in its entirety. Then you cd in to the appropriate ports directory such as in /usr/ports/databases/postgresql72/ for example and then do a 'make' and a 'make install' It will then download what you need for that port and install it and also install all the other ports that it depends on as well. You may have to study a bit to figure out which exact port version you want to cd in to, for example, I have never installed postgresql so probably /postgresql72/ is not actually the port you want. Also, I was looking through a somewhat older version of the ports on this machine and it doesn't have postgresql V-8 yet. I need to update it. This is just an example. It will probably be something more like: /usr/ports/databases/postgresql8/ Anyway, by doing this you are installing just the 'single' port you want. But you really really really want to install the entire /usr/ports tree or you will be missing some of the framework and dependancies that you will need. 3. Where can i find information about supported hardware ? Namely SATA controlers ? Does FreeBSD suport the Intel ones ? On the main FreeBSD page (http://www.freebsd.org/) over on the right it lists the versions that are now considered the latest releases available. Under each there is a hardware item. Click on it and follow links to find what you want. If you are using an Intel PC type machine, then select i386 for hardware type when you get to that list.

On 10/27/2004 at 12:18 Jaime Moss wrote: I am looking at non Microsoft platforms for a mail server. Does FreeBSD have one in it ? sendmail is included, though mostly because it always has been included, not because we feel it is any good. Postfix, exim, and qmail are in ports in case you want a different once. There may be more. (sendmail is hard to configure, and historiclly has been the injection point of many root cracks. Many people regard it as unfixable. How true any of this is can be debated) I have no opinion on which is best. All have their advocates. Each has advantages and disadvantages. You will have to decide which is better for you. I will also be looking at Linux. What is the differnce between FreeBSD and Linux? Short answer: not much. Both a really good, free operating systems. Either will run your mail server just fine, in fact all the software I listed above will run on either. It is rare to find something that runs on linux that cannot be made to run on FreeBSD with little work. Long answer: ask on the advocacy lists. Saying anything more is off-topic for this list, because most answers come down to personal preference. Often any discussion soon starts to sound like Catholics and Lutherans arguing over religion, so be careful about asking this question. Note however that linux comes from many different distributions, which affects the differences. A short (incomplete) list of things that often come up when this question is asked: License,.

Jaime Moss wrote: What is the differnce between FreeBSD and Linux? The differences really only matters if you are using one system and want to change, they are mostly neuances in everyday use. You can run all the mentioned mailservers equally well on both FreeBSD and Linux, same configuration files. Migrating from Linux to FreeBSD I only had to reformat the password file as Linux' shadow-file is slightly different format from FreeBSD master.passwd. I think the most clear difference, which will be important to you is the way you _maintain_ the systems: On Linux the normal administrator will often be installing binary packages using rpm - Gentoo and Debian have other ways to handle this. On *BSD the usual way is to use the ports tree and compile from source. Mostly it is a matter of personal taste, which system is for you, how you like to do things and how you work. I came from RedHat linux and have found I spend less time maintaining my systems with FreeBSD - but this just my subjective feeling.

Re: Sorry
I am looking at non Microsoft platforms for a mail server. Does FreeBSD have one in it ? Yes, FreeBSd has about everything you would want and several alternatives for each. Sendmail is the long time workhorse of the Email agents. It gets some abuse because of its arcane configuration syntax, but it works reliably and hasn't seen any serious problem in quite a long while. There are also several alternatives to sendmail available in the ports. In addition to Email, FreeBSD has support for every type of network activity. There are web servers, DNS, DHCP, Radius, etc, etc. I will also be looking at Linux. What is the differnce between FreeBSD and Linux? Mostly, FreeBSD is more consistent throughout and its development is better managed. Thus it is a little more easily maintained, somewhat more secure and a more comfortable platform to run as a server. In terms of features, most often sited are FreeBSDs maintainability, security and ports system for 3rd party software and LINUX' heavier use of GUI stuff (which I find, gets in the way of running a server). jerry Kind regards Jaime Moss ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
