Unable to build DOC ports
I am having a problem updating some ports since installing the print/texlive-full port a few days ago. I have: TEX_DEFAULT=texlive sans quotes at the top of my /etc/make.conf file.

For example, I have a couple of custom patches to source. If new versions of the source are checked in to the FreeBSD svn repository, and they conflict with my local changes, svn will give a warning and help try to resolve them. The only noticeable difference is when updating my ports collection with svn, it's slower to update than say portsnap or cvs/csup. But it's not a major issue for me. This seems to be highly variable, possibly depending on how often you update. For me, svn is at least as fast as cvs, and it feels faster. Might just be a lot of fast screen output. portsnap is easily the slowest on my systems.

I'm currently using csup with this approach and would be interested if Subversion can provide the same easy interface to that kind of functionality. You can already use subversion with 'make update' -- unless you override it with settings in /etc/make.conf, the ports or src Makefiles will detect the presence of a .svn directory and from that automatically deduce it should use svn to update the respective trees. Whether svn will ever be incorporated in the base system is a different question. As far as I know, there aren't any plans to bring it in at the moment (BICBW). Maintaining vendor imports of software from actively developed projects like SVN in two or more release branches and head is quite a burden and the tendency recently is to prefer to use the ports instead. (Especially considering that SVN has a reasonably large dependency tree.) There has been talk of svnsup analogous to csup and I believe some work has been done, but no idea what state that project is in, nor if that would be added to base once it achieves sufficient maturity.

What is meant by deleting all non-local files? What files is he referring to? First, I may have misread your question. Others have provided far better answers to your exact question. I use my local CVS repo to track changes I make to files I create or edit myself, like /etc/rc.conf, /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/SOMECUSTOMKERNEL, etc. When I switched from CVSup to Subversion, I let the directory /usr/src/sys exist, but only with my own files stored within this hierarchy, e.g. my custom kernel configuration file, /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/ENTERPRISE. The very existence of the directory /usr/src/sys prohibited Subversion from populating the directory /usr/src/sys with the desired contents. Thus, I had to delete all files and directories made during the intial svn co operation, including the special .svn directory, rename sys to sys0 as described in my previous email, redo the svn co operation, and finally move my own (custom) files back into place. Afterwards, it's simply a matter of running svn update to update source files from the chosen svn repo, and in my case, check in any local changes made to the local CVS repo I use for my configuration management. Maybe me adding CVS to the mix caused or still cause confusion. 2.) If I rename /usr/src/sys to, say /usr/src/sys0, do the Subversion check out, and move your local files back into place, won't that be replacing new files with the older files? I was indirectly referring to local edited files, such as custom kernel configuration files. My bad for not making this clearer. 3.)

Once I've checked out (i.e., downloaded, right?) the current files, I'll only need to: svn update /usr/ports..., etc. from that point forward and not delete all non-local files, rename /usr/src/sys to, say /usr/src/sys0, do the Subversion check out, and move your local files back into place...Is that right? Yes. If a new version of a file conflicts with your local changes, svn will complain and try to help resolve those conflicts. ___ 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
How to use subversion to keep source, system and doc files up to date?
I see that CVS is being phased out in favor of subversion. I follow the documentation to keep my system up to date by doing: # cd /usr/src # make buildworld # make buildkernel # make installkernel # shutdown -r now and then... # mount -u / # mount -a -t ufs # adjkerntz -i # mergemaster -p # cd /usr/src # make installworld # mergemaster # reboot I've pre-populated my /usr/ports, /usr/src and /usr/src/sys directories when I installed my system. I've installed subversion from package, I want to follow the Stable (same as Patch, right?) branch, and I'm struggling how to best use subversion to update my kernel source, system files, documentation, etc., so I can keep my system up to date. Can someone tell me how to use subversion to keep my /usr/ports, /usr/src and /usr/src/sys directories up to date?

No, -STABLE and -RELEASE-plevel are different things. While -STABLE is a development branch that has incorporated things that have been considered stable on the continuous work toward a new version (that's from -CURRENT), -RELEASE-plevel only contains security patches for that release: this is what you get when using the binary method of updating, using freebsd-update. The -CURRENT (or -HEAD) is the active devlopment branch from which good things are passed to -STABLE. That branch is considered experimental. If you want to follow the -RELEASE-plevel way, why not simply use freebsd-update, especially if you're _not_ running a custom kernel (as concluded from your commands example shown above)? Can someone tell me how to use subversion to keep my /usr/ports, /usr/src and /usr/src/sys directories up to date? /usr/src and /usr/src/sys are no distinct subtrees, i. e. /usr/src/sys is a component of /usr/src. It's only different from /usr/ports. Using the old CVS approach, both can be updated with the same program (csup). -- 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
Re: How to use subversion to keep source, system and doc files up to date?
Thank you. I am using a custom kernel, but you're right - I should have said so. :-) Do you have any feedback using subversion?

For ports, I do the following. # svn update /usr/ports/ # cd /usr/ports # make fetchindex # pkg_version -l '' Then update any ports which need updating. There is, AFAICT, minimal difference between what I used to do with csup, and what I do now with svn. Of course, the first time I used subversion was doing this... so I may be doing it wrong. ;) HTH, -- dave [ please don't CC me ] pgpAF88Kvjn45.pgp Description: PGP signature

It can handle everything that tar, cpio, pax, compress and (of course bzip2 (belongs to the OS!) and all other native tools utilizing libarchive addresses. I'm quite confident that this is a better out of the box support than what Windows has to offer because handling archives usually involves manually downloading and installing 3rd party programs, like WinZIP or WinRAR.

However, there's BZip2 available for Windows, maybe this can help you: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/bzip2.htm There are also claims that WinRAR is able to extract BZip2 files. why i not able read documentation BEFORE install? I'd refer to the documentation presented on FreeBSD's web page. You can easily create a local copy of the HTML subtree using wget (and yes, there's WGET.EXE even for Windows). The most important pages are: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ http://www.freebsd.org/doc/faq/ Check out FreeBSD's main web page for language selection. Here you can find a russian translation of all those documents: http://www.freebsd.org/ru/docs.html Again, it's possible to make a local copy of them which you could carry on a USB stick or CD for further reference. where it after install? It will be installed into /usr/doc, containing the language variants and formats. second,you installer is not well, not very undersandingable for newbis. I don't think so. It's very precise in wording and easy to use. You just have to read what's on the screen and answer accordingly. A help function is also included. i mean user must hit tab in some dialogs,but he press enter - attempt please. The keyboard support is explained in the first help pages. It's also mentioned in the Handbook which one should read before or even while performing the install (if one is unsure about how the interface works). it is not MISTAKE but look mysteriously,and user worry. That's quite possible. :-) Users feeling unhappy with the FreeBSD installer often tend to prefer PC-BSD with its GUI installer and a more lengthly step by step guide through the installation with much more interactivity and user attention. As this interface can be used with a mouse, the distinction between TAB and ENTER is not that important anymore. you shoud do only one small step in order to do freebsd more frendly - publish full international docs on install dvd -- user only put dvd and see docs in browser. How is a user supposed to have a browser available when putting the CD into a system he wants to install it on, with _nothing_ on the hard disk? I agree that the documentation could be accessible via a web browser from the install media when used in a _different_ computer, and maybe it should also be accessible in text form during an early stage of the installer. However, the purpose of an installation medium is to install something. The installer does exactly that. its simpler than rewriting os in order to div it more frendly. The OS has basically nothing to do with its installer or the way help is presented to the user. This is done by programs, _those_ could be extended or changed. is it true flash work badly or after complex work? No. Outdated stuff like Flash can be quickly and easily installed, and it works reliably and stable. i cant write on my writemaster dvd drive with freebsd9 - brasero dont see drive. Can you provide more information, e. g. what model, how connected, output of dmesg and so on? Please check the Handbook regarding the use of optical media. Start with low level diagnostics (i. e. use OS tools to first check if the drive is detected and attached to the correct driver), in a next step maybe check your Gnome and Brasero configuration. If it fails, try a command line tool. Those are typically easier to use and more comfortable. what you can say about it? with best regards,ivan,Russia,Moscow.

After reading the thread referenced above, and looking at the output of my build, I noticed that the build was failing in different areas. So I decided to run make on the port multiple times, and eventually the port installed successfully. However, the port in my tree (dated # $FreeBSD: ports/misc/freebsd-doc-en/Makefile,v 1.36 2011/05/22 14:28:49 blackend Exp $) in a fresh tree made only through 2010, according to the copyright at the top of the handbook. Individual files in that doc tree were variously dated; the newest being 8/2010. So I ran make, multiple times, on the source; and that gave me a doc tree dated 2011. Most of the files there were dated 5/29/11. A few exceptions were found in image files dated 3/2010, which all loaded in SeaMonkey, except for some files in: advanced-networking, security, vinum, geom. I may have missed others in other books. To summarize: 1) It appears that make is, in this case, a hammer that must be applied more than once to either the source or the port. 2) Not all images are seen as valid, and according to make may have bad magic numbers. If building from source is used on a fresh tree, it may be possible to have make ignore all the errors by using the -k flag. 3) I have no idea how things will go with an upgrade to the doc source; I normally use portupgrade, so I suppose I will find out later. I've submitted a bug report. Best regards, Joe Hi, This might not be the same as an issue I had because I'm not really sure how the docs are built. I did not have doc in my cvs supfile at first.

After reading the thread referenced above, and looking at the output of my build, I noticed that the build was failing in different areas. So I decided to run make on the port multiple times, and eventually the port installed successfully. However, the port in my tree (dated # $FreeBSD: ports/misc/freebsd-doc-en/Makefile,v 1.36 2011/05/22 14:28:49 blackend Exp $) in a fresh tree made only through 2010, according to the copyright at the top of the handbook. Individual files in that doc tree were variously dated; the newest being 8/2010. So I ran make, multiple times, on the source; and that gave me a doc tree dated 2011. Most of the files there were dated 5/29/11. A few exceptions were found in image files dated 3/2010, which all loaded in SeaMonkey, except for some files in: advanced-networking, security, vinum, geom. I may have missed others in other books. To summarize: 1) It appears that make is, in this case, a hammer that must be applied more than once to either the source or the port. 2) Not all images are seen as valid, and according to make may have bad magic numbers. If building from source is used on a fresh tree, it may be possible to have make ignore all the errors by using the -k flag. 3) I have no idea how things will go with an upgrade to the doc source; I normally use portupgrade, so I suppose I will find out later. I've submitted a bug report.

Windows - as far as I know - does not use standard locales such as all other systems do, but uses an arbitrary setting. Another idea may be that the character that you think should be an apostrophe isn't an apostrophe. I often do see this in german texts with misplaces apostrophes that are in fact accent grave or accent acute, or a character from UTF-8 that just looks like an apostrophe. For example, if the original document contains We don`t and this ` is not a real ', then conversion tools will of course use the escape notation for this unknown character. Other characters that may lead to such escape notation replacements can be quotation marks (usually typographical ones), ellipsis and hyphens. I know I'm saying this too often, but you wouldn't have such problems with LaTeX. :-) I'm not sure in how far conflicting codepages may be involved. It is known that Windows does have problems supporting standards, and this applies to character sets and language variations, too. your words could be emblazoned in 24k gold on some Monument of Truth. It's my job - I'm working for the Ministry of Truth. :-) i've been fighting going for mac to OOo and back... Keep on fighting - I've got a new idea. It's much more complicated than using OpenOffice for conversion - but it MIGHT work. 1. Open the DOC file in OpenOffice. 2. Mark all content you want to convert, e. g. Ctrl+A. 3. Get it into edit buffer, Ctrl+C. 4. Open KDE's text editor (or any other text editor you have installed), output the edit buffer, Ctrl+V. 5. Save the file you now got in the editor. It should be all in ASCII and with correct interpretation of special characters. Because I don't have a test setting here, I cannot predict that it will compensate malformed codings, but if OpenOffice shows a character as an apostrophe, it should be transferred exactly as that through the edit buffer. ps: antiword same as catdoc. back to my per substitutions. that works, along with vi's Builtin subs.

Have you considered using whatever replaces the most special characters, and fixing the few characters that remain with sed? exactly!!! Another possibility, if you haven't considered it, is using sed to convert everything. If you know all the characters that need to be swapped out, you can write a sed script that will do it for you in one pass. If you don't know sed, creating the script may be a PITA, but you'll only have to do it once, and then you can reuse the script whenever needed. As I recall, the hard part is figuring out how to represent the special characters in sed. It's been a few years since I used sed on doc files, but I recall that the character codes that displayed on my screen were not the codes that I needed to use in sed scripts. ___ 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

[...@moby ~]$ python -c 'print Don%c%c%ct % (0xe2, 0x80, 0x99)' | file -
/dev/stdin: UTF-8 Unicode text
You'll be able to see the character if you fire up a UTF-8 capable
terminal with proper locale settings.
[...@moby ~]$ LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 xterm -u8
After that, just print the char:
python -c 'print Don%c%c%ct % (0xe2, 0x80, 0x99)'
and use copy paste to pass it to tr to translate it to something else,
for example:
tr ' ' $file $output
Another idea may be that the character that you think should be
an apostrophe isn't an apostrophe. I often do see this in german
texts with misplaces apostrophes that are in fact accent grave
or accent acute, or a character from UTF-8 that just looks like
an apostrophe. For example, if the original document contains
We don`t
and this ` is not a real ', then conversion tools will of course
use the escape notation for this unknown character.
Indeed, the standard tool for encoding translations, iconv, chocks on
this. Yet, it worked when I tried to convert from utf-8 to greek
encoding('iconv -f utf-8 -t iso-8859-7'). Some info on the char:

Another possibility, if you haven't considered it, is using sed to convert everything. If you know all the characters that need to be swapped out, you can write a sed script that will do it for you in one pass. If you don't know sed, creating the script may be a PITA, but you'll only have to do it once, and then you can reuse the script whenever needed. As I recall, the hard part is figuring out how to represent the special characters in sed. It's been a few years since I used sed on doc files, but I recall that the character codes that displayed on my screen were not the codes that I needed to use in sed scripts. the DOC file i was trying to convert is only around 250 line [ ascii ] and i finished it, kwik-and-dirty with perl, sed, and vi's regex. it prob'ly isn't worth merely complaining about. doing it one time will, as you point out, let me reuse the script hundred of time.

8.0 and freebsd-doc native languages
I installed a new 8.0 from the DVD and the ports collection. Did a portsnap update, pkg_version -vIL reported 21 ports to upgrade of which 19 XX-freebsd-doc-20100213 (XX = two letters identifying a native language) I throught this would just install preformatted files, so started the 21 ports upgrade. Now this is running already for over 4 hours... and installed at least a 100 other dependent packages. Why does 8.0 insist on having all these native language docs (which most users do not need) ? In 7.2 install this did not happen. Can I safely remove all the other XX-freebsd.doc (except en-freebsd-doc), packages? ___ 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

obsolete /usr/share/doc/handbook ?
I update my local FBSD documentation with cvsup doc-all. I note that the latest FBSD documentation is under /usr/doc. However I still have /usr/share/doc which is about 2 years out of date. On the other hand /usr/doc does not appear in hier(7), whereas /usr/share/doc does. Can I safely delete the obsolete docs under /usr/share/doc?

If you want to build them yourself, the directions are in the FreeBSD Documentation Project primer (which is in the books section of the documentation; I'd recommend you read it on the web -- for example, http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/ -- until you have a more recent local copy). If you aren't planning on building the documents yourself, just download them from the ftp sites.

Lacky Doc @ 5.6.2 Using XDM
Hi there! Today I just installed FreeBSD(6.1) for the first time in my life. After several tries on my own I decided to go through the installation by following the instructions in the handbook. I successfully installed and configured Xorg. Everything went well, until I reached the section 5.6.2, Using XDM. I just tried to follow the instructions and enabled xdm to start running on the 9th virtual terminal by replacing the off by on in /etc/ttys: ttyv8 /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon xterm off secure in ttyv8 /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon xterm on secure Now I can't do anything. The system directly boots into the xdm, prompts a loginscreen and if I login as root (or as a user) there is nothing I can do. As I know now there isn't even a chance to leave the xdm. If I hit Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, it flips into the shell an returns immediately to xdm and prompts the login again. I tried fixing this through booting in Single User Mode, but I wasn't successful because I have no write permission in /etc/ttys during this mode. I bet it won't be the only solution to reinstall the entire system, isn't it? Since I followed the Documentiation from Install until section 5.6.2, Imho, there is a small warning missing in the documentation. Sth like this: Beware of enabling the xdm-virtual-terminal because you can only return to the shell while doing sth you dont know yet :-). May be you can find some time to send me a feedback or some kind of solution to fix my problem. Thanks so long. Ralf PS: I'm sorry for my english.

I just tried to follow the instructions and enabled xdm to start running on the 9th virtual terminal by replacing the off by on in /etc/ttys: ttyv8 /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon xterm off secure in ttyv8 /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon xterm on secure Now I can't do anything. The system directly boots into the xdm, prompts a loginscreen and if I login as root (or as a user) there is nothing I can do. As I know now there isn't even a chance to leave the xdm. If I hit Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, it flips into the shell an returns immediately to xdm and prompts the login again. I tried fixing this through booting in Single User Mode, but I wasn't successful because I have no write permission in /etc/ttys during this mode. You have just about any right in single user mode. Type chmod 644 /etc/ttys If you edit the file using vi and it isn't writable you can force to write to it by typing :w! Try to hit Ctrl+Alt+F2 This should get you to a shell.

I bet it won't be the only solution to reinstall the entire system, isn't it? Since I followed the Documentiation from Install until section 5.6.2, Imho, there is a small warning missing in the documentation. Sth like this: Beware of enabling the xdm-virtual-terminal because you can only return to the shell while doing sth you dont know yet :-). May be you can find some time to send me a feedback or some kind of solution to fix my problem. Thanks so long. Ralf PS: I'm sorry for my english.

Re: Lacky Doc @ 5.6.2 Using XDM
You have just about any right in single user mode. Type chmod 644 /etc/ttys If you edit the file using vi and it isn't writable you can force to write to it by typing :w! Not if his FS is mounted read-only. Sure, he can remount it read-write, if he knows how :) (Someone else already posted those instructions; no need to repeat them here.) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
