Hello all,

For whatever reason, I am not receiving my usual emails from this  
mailing list to my Gmail account. I checked my account settings on

FreeBSD questions

2007-11-08 Thread Si Thu
Dear freeBSD,

 

I am running FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE on my staging server and having one problem
about FFmpeg.

I have read a lot of documentation and google on the web to get the solution
for how to customize installation for ffmpeg utility. Normally, freeBSD
provides s lot of packages and ports that can be covered the average
requirements. 

 

On my server, I have installed ffmpeg from the provided port with the
command "make install clean". After installation, I am able to encode the
input files from some location of server such "usr/local/bin" and cannot
implement with PHP(I used exec() command). FFmpeg-php is a object oriented
API for PHP and ffmpeg implementation. I was not able to install that API on
freeBSD.

 

And there are some other configuration such "--enable-shared --enable-gpl"
and other libraries they can use in ffmpeg by configuration with ./configure
command. But I was not able to find how to configure before install ffmpeg.
If you would be able to give me a solution that would be great. I will
really appreciate.

 

 

Looking forward to get an answer

 

kind regards,

 

Sithu

Well, that's true, but if you have the choice, there are better choices. 
You *can* hammer in nails with the butt of a gun, but there's a chance 
you'll somehow shoot yourself in the arm. A hammer doesn't have that risk.


There have been *many* problems over the years with rsh and telnet. 
rsh's security model comes from a time when people thought computers 
would never lie to each other. SSH does allow you to give only enough 
access, with the side-benefits (in your case) of compression and 
encryption. Even if you used ssh without those, the key-based 
authentication is still safer, and the code more modern and securely 
designed.

Well, no offense ment, but there are many people posting questions to
this list, and some of them aren't aware of potential security
problems of actions they want to perform.
So generally if a question with a potential harmfull consequence is
asked people are told of these fact, because noone here on this list
can guess if it is known, or not.

Wouldn't it have been easier for you to tell people on this list that
you are aware of the problems? I mean, instead of getting rude?

2006-05-08 Thread Marty Landman

I've just reinstalled FBSD 4.8 from the mini-iso on an old box (PII-133 w/ 3
GB on two hd's). The problem I'm running into is that my ports are looking
for old, outdated packages, I think.

So going from
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.htmltried
to install cvsup to do a port upgrade:

mrwilhelm# pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui
Error: FTP Unable to get
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.8-release/Latest/cvsup-without-gui.tgz:
File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
pkg_add: unable to fetch '
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.8-release/Latest/cvsup-without-gui.tgz'
by URL
mrwilhelm#

Same problem though, how can I tell my system where to get access to
the 4.8stuff?

Don't know about ffmpeg-php or anything, as I've never used them. 
However, you could do a few different things to change the configure 
arguments. You could just edit the Makefile in the port's directory, or 
you could define some make variables either through /etc/make.conf or by 
defining them on the command line like


make -DWITH_SWSCALER

which will do the same thing as configure --enable-swscaler. Look 
through the Makefile for the defaults (both switches you mentioned are 
on by default in my ports tree) and all availible switches. Make syntax 
is simple enough, so you should be able to figure it out without much 
trouble. Also, you might want to run make configure instead of make 
install or even just make, since that will run the configure script and 
then stop, so you can look over the output and adjust as necessary 
before continuing the build.

Hi Andy,

No problem, but please remember to include the list in any replies 
unless the person you're talking with spefically asks to take the 
conversation off-list. This will ensure that you get the widest possible 
audience for your questions, and generally, the best possible answers as 
well. Also, please remember to bottom-post your replies, since it makes 
the conversation easier to read for people joining in the middle.



Again let me have one more question, I cannot encode the .wmv to .flv. It
seems ffmpeg of port is outdated, but I downladed the port from the
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/multimedia/ffmpeg/?only_with_tag
=RELEASE_6_2_0
  


If you want the newer versions of software from the ports tree, don't 
limit your results by the tag. Basically, you're saying (IIRC) "I want 
the version of the port that was included with this release" instead of 
"I want the most recent version of this port." the release versions of 
the ports will only be updated for bug fixes, etc. Not new features. I'd 
suggest that you just use portsnap to update your local ports tree and 
go from there. If you've never used portsnap before, do the following


portsnap fetch extract

If you have already done the extract step above, then use this

portsnap fetch update

from now on. Every time you run this command, your ports tree is updated 
with the latest software. As long as you aren't on a really ancient 
release, software from the ports tree will ALMOST always compile and 
install fine. After your ports tree is updated, just


cd /usr/ports/multimedia/ffmpeg
make deinstall<- to remove the older version
make install clean   <-to install the new version

Now you should have the latest version and all it's capabilities. I 
don't know specifically if this will solve your wmv -> flv problem, but 
if not, you will be at a better place to ask questions. You would 
probably want to ask your questions about specific software at the 
developer's forums or mailing lists though, since this list is supposed 
to be mainly for questions about freebsd itself. Good Luck!

Does it not update?

Unless something has changed recently, this is not correct.

The release versions of the ports are *never* updated for anything; not 
security fixes, not features, nothing.  The ports tree is not like, say, 
Fedora Linux rpms.


What you say is true of the *base* system, but not true for ports.

Technically, the ports tree is not branched, because it's a) too much of 
a maintenance burden and b) apparently CVS is likely to struggle, which 
I can believe.


The ports tree is *tagged* (not branched) when the release ISOs are 
made, and those tags are never moved.


For cv(s)uping ports there are only two reasonable tags, as far as I know:

"."  which means the latest ports tree or

a date: when you desperately need to get back to the ports tree you had 
say a week ago because it worked and your current one doesn't and you 
are desperate.

I think what you want to say may be correct, but this is confusing.
Ports are updated all along as port maintainers get to it.  In general
the ports system does not have release identifiers.  It is also not
specifically tied to any release.   It just happens that a particilar
'snapshot' of the condition of the ports tree is put on an ISO and
for good measure, gets frozen a while to give time to check it out.
But, as soon as that freeze is over (which pretty much corresponds to
the timing of a base system RELEASE), updates begin again as the port
maintainers get around to making improvements.So, a certain condition
of the ports tree and the individual ports conceptually gets tied to
a certain RELEASE, but in reality is not, since changes continue to
be made and you will get the most recent condidition of the ports if
you do an install over the net.   You will get the 'RELEASE' condition
only if you install only from the ISO-s.  

Now, when changes are made to ports, they should be tested against
something and I don't know just what they get tested against between
freezes.So, whether you csup your ports tree and install over
the net or install from the ISO you have burned to a CD may depend
on whether an updated version of a port will work with the stuff you
are trying to install it over.   You may have to test.   Generally
the latest version is the best, but sometimes the updates may have
moved the port beyond where your base system is at the moment.

Of course, you could also upgrade your base system - if you need 
that latest instantiation of the port.

The point being that ports are almost continuously being updated
except for that freeze period.   But, there is no general-systemwide
versioning system for the ports. So, in in the base system RELEASE 
sense, ports is not updated - there are no numbers to update.  But it 
is updated, in the sense that improvement are continuously made - depending
on the maintainer.

Try
mount /dev/fd0c /mnt   (UFS floopy) 
or
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0c /mnt  (DOS FAT floppy)

It may work if your system is an earlier version; I think it was changed
to fd0 in 5.0.

Sounds to me like the device isn't being found at all in the /dev
directory.  If fd0 doesn't exist then certainly fd0c won't exist either.  

What does `ls -l /dev/fd*` reveal?

Also, what does `dmesg | grep fd` show?

Are you using devfs?

Not using FreeBSD it can't.  FreeBSD on PPC processors is under
development, but by no means ready for anyone to actually use yet.

You might have more luck over with our fiends at NetBSD, who do have
PPC ports available.  Don't know about installing over the 'net -- you
might have more luck by trying to find a way to replace your broken
brive with a cheap off-the-shelf alternative.

Cheers,

Matthew

To expand on another answer, you can install NetBSD for PowerPC over 
the net, but I think you need a floppy or some kind of startup image to 
boot from. And you have to be willing to poke around in the Open 
Firmware environment. And of course, there's Darwin 7.0.1, the core of 
OS X 10.3.

The best option is to fix or replace the drive, I think.

[freebsd-questions] ndis setup

2006-04-08 Thread hernan
Hey folks.  I'm setting up FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE and I'm having a little
trouble getting my wireless NIC recognized.  The card is a Linksys
WMP64G and I'm trying to set things up to run with the FreeBSD
NDISulator as described in the FreeBSD handbook
(http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-wireless.html).

Here's what I'm doing (as root):

1) Verifying with 'pciconf -lv' that the PCI card is there.  Also, I
know the card works, it was running fine on Windows.

2) Building ndis itself:
  cd /usr/src/sys/modules/ndis
  make clean
  make && make install

3) Building the if_ndis module:
  cd /usr/src/sys/modules/if_ndis
  cp /path_to_drivers_on_cd/Rt61.INF .
  cp /path_to_drivers_on_cd/rt61.sys .
  ndiscvt -i Rt61.INF -s rt61.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h
  make && make install

4) Loading the ndis and if_ndis modules:
  kldload ndis
  I verify at this point using kldstat that both ndis and if_ndis are
in fact loaded.

I see nothing in dmesg or in my console during the kldload.  Also, it
doesn't appear that the driver found the card, there's no signs of
life.  I've tried using ndisgen, and have had the same results (with
much less typing).  In either case, I get nothing in dmesg and no
usable enabled NIC.

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, let me know if you see it.

thanks in advance.
Hernan

Seriously, if you can find any package at all, I'd try
it.  I don't know that cvsup changes that much.  You
can use fetch or FTP to grab from a newer location
and add the package directly, e.g.

# cd
# fetch ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/path/to/some/real.pkg.tbz
# pkg_add real.pkg.tbz

I don't think there is any /easy/ way for you to continue using 4.8, 
which is not officially supported. If you install 4.11 you will have 
better luck with ports and packages (for as long as 4.11 is 
supported, anyway... the 4.x line is still widely used, but is EOL 
except for security updates).


Someone may be able to provide you with a 4.8 workaround for a cvsup 
package (OK, I see someone did already!), but that may only be the 
beginning of a long train of workarounds you'd need. Using 4.11 will 
provide somewhat more of a panacea.


If you have enough RAM, go ahead and install 5.4 or 6.0 (or soon 
enough, 6.1).

Hi Greg. My issue is that would like to continue using this box and -
possibly because of the age of the cdrom - am having a problem installing
with my 6.0 iso too. :(

This box has 82M of ram, forgot to mention that. And it is running 4.8 with
just about nothing on it, and it is networked with my office broadband
connection.

So, is there a simple way I could install over the net? And how high a
release could I go? Obviously I won't be putting X windows on there but if I
can get Apache w/ mod_perl, Samba, Mysql and Perl it'll be a useful machine
for my intranet. I had all that on before but apparently 4.8 isn't going to
work for me now unless I have a time machine.

That's plenty of RAM for basic installation and modest non-GUI 
usage. I've no idea how much RAM Samba and MySQL might need to 
thrive though. If you ran them before, you should be able to keep 
doing that.


According to the fine manual, you should be able to boot from a 
floppy and install 6.0 over FTP. It's just like installing from CD, 
only slower, generally . See section 2.2.7 of:


http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-pre.html

I'd try re-toasting the 6.0 ISO myself. Use the slowest burn speed 
available on your burner -- older CD-ROMs sometimes have a problem 
with discs burned at a high speed.

This is giving me problems for some reason. I've put the floppy images on a
Debian box in my office and dd'd onto a floppy. The boot.flp worked but then
with the kern1.flp - which I dd'd onto the same floppy as boot.flp had gone
on, get this after a while:

zf_read: fill error

readin failed

elf32_loadimage: read failed
Unable to load a kernel!

...

maybe I'll follow the other path and just install my needed software the old
fashioned way.

Yeah, hard to know.  In our tests, failure rate for floppy
diskettes, straight from a local "discount" retailer, is
in the nominal 60% range.

You could keep trying...

I seem to remember the boot.flp is required twice, so probably not a good
idea to write over it.  (Just incase you try the floppy way again)

You could use cvs, delete /usr/ports before the checkout and:

[freebsd-questions] emacs && xemacs?

2006-06-02 Thread hernan

Hi folks,

I have the xemacs port installed and I would also like to have the
normal emacs port installed.  When I try to 'make clean install'
/usr/ports/editors/emacs it builds fine but fails to install because
of xemacs, I'm at work now but the error was something to the effect
that they both conflict and install files into the same place.

I'm running FreeBSD 6.0 RELEASE, with a recent portupgrade so things
are fairly up to date.  I'm trying to install emacs 21.3_9 and have
xemacs 21.4.19 installed already.

Any insights appreciated, thanks!

questions@ vs. freebsd-questions@

2007-08-14 Thread Nikola Lecic
Hello,

Why can't I send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Has anybody else
noticed this?

If someone sends a mail to questions@ (which is usual, I don't know if
it should be), Reply-All in some mail clients will leave that address as
is. If I accidentally miss that fact and don't repair the address by
hand, reply will not be registered by the list software and that mail
will not be distributed.

Assuming that the same would happen with ports@, I've just repeated my
post to that list, adding freebsd-, but the mail -- as it should --
appeared twice, so my apologies. :)

IMO, a cvsup server from jp, tw or sg regions will be the best fit for Vietnam.

Are you sure that you want to use a possibly unstable version of
FreeBSD? People who use -CURRENT are those who are willing to test and
debug the kernel, and live with the possibility of data-loss.

If this is true - if this represents a failure to rebuild the
index, instead of a failure to accurately record when the index was
rebuilt - well, actually it's a problem in both cases just a much
bigger one in the former.  Please test to make sure (for example,
are these messages indexed within 48 hours?) and if true file a PR.
You may be on to something.  Messages I sent to ports@ on
Tuesday have not appeared on the index.

[freebsd-questions] Vidcontrol woes

2008-01-26 Thread Alphons "Fonz" van Werven

Okay,

FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE just got installed on the Toshiba laptop. But for some
reason, I don't seem able to change the console video mode.

The VESA module has of course been loaded and I did a "vidmode -i mode"
but pretty much every mode I tried either turned the entire screen red
(and completely screwed up) or it says "operation not supported by
device".

I'm pretty sure it should be possible to get, like, 132x43 or something.
In fact, several Linux distros managed it. But I can't figure out what I'm
doing wrong.

Any thoughts?

There is a version for FreeBSD-7 and it allows to recompile the cmucl

Good suggestion.  For a moment this morning I thought I had stumbled into
the -advocacy or -chat group in error
As I have posted a few times... And to Anthony - You are wrong. THIS 
list isn't about discussing the pros and cons of one OS over another, 
one program over another, your personal views on FreeBSD over Windows - 
it's a list where users "ask questions" (thus the meaning of the list 
name, FreeBSD-Questions.

You sir (Anthony) are the biggest contributor of the off topic/list 
discussions. YOU sir, are the one wasting bandwidth and baiting users 
into turning the few threads here into days if not weeks of propaganda 
crapola in.

Some users have stopped reposting to the threads that you feel you must 
continue to post your point of view (and the point of view that you seem 
to be making is the only one true point of view).

Take your posting to the proper lists. If you don't know what they are, 
here's a helping hand ...

1. FreeBSD-Chat
2. FreeBSD-Advocacy
You are more then welcome to toss your hat into the ring of 
debate/bash/praise etc when done in the proper areas devised by the 
folks at FreeBSD.

Now again - please discontinue your on-going rantings in THIS list. 
Please, for the sake of all mankind - take it to where it belongs.

And to the others that can't seem to follow the list rules - please, 
halt your postings to the few threads that Anthony is flooding the list 
with and carry them to the proper place.

Now ... Back to your regularly tuned program...

I was attempting to send a different question to this list, when I ran 
smack dab into a more pressing problem. When I sent the mail, it never

Security through obscurity is only really a bad thing if it's your ONLY

Actually, "security through obscurity" is always bad.  The fact, however,
is that something that could be used for security through obscurity is
not automatically always a security through obscurity measure.  Are you
using a nonstandard port assignment for security, or just to make your
logs cleaner?  If you realize that moving SSH to a nonstandard port will
not in any way protect you from a targeted attack, and only do so to
clean up logs and reduce local SSH daemon activity from pointless
low-hanging fruit attacks, while using other (better) techniques to
actually properly secure the box, you aren't using employing a security
through obscurity plan at all.

"Security through obscurity" isn't the technique; it's the purpose to
which a technique is directed.  If what you're doing isn't intended as a
security measure, it's "something other than security through obscurity",
and you shouldn't beat yourself up over it.

If you have no specific need to keep SSH on 22, definitely move a
public-facing SSH server to a nonstandard port, for reasons unrelated to
actual intrusion security.

After you run ndisgen you should have a third kernel module with
a name similar to the name of your sys file. If you load
this module you should at least get an error message.

to interpret the segfault I get when loading the new kernel module I
created with ndisgen.  The error happens when I do the 'kldload' on
the new module, my machine dies and reboots.

Does this mean I'm out of luck with using NDIsulator?  Let me know if
you have any hints.

thanks...

My hint is to post slightly more information.

While I probably won't be able to help any further, there a lot of
knowledgeable people on this list who could help if they had a better
description of your problem. 

You could start with:

- the relevant output of pciconf -lv
- which .inf and .sys file you used
- an exact description what you did to get to the reboot
- why you are sure it was caused by a segfault

> Fabian

Thanks again.  I figured this out, and am posting to help others who
might want to use this card (Linksys WMP54G).  Keep in mind that I'm
new to FreeBSD (using 6 RELEASE):

1) I was initially trying to use NDIsulator the way the manual says,
by manually running cvtndis.  During that trial and error process, I
ended up with a configuration that was missing if_config.ko.  To get
back to a good starting point I did decided to rebuild both ndis and
if_ndis.

cd /sys/modules/ndis; make; make install;
cd /sys/modules/if_ndis; make; make install;

At this point, I was able to simply load the ndis module.  if_ndis was
automatically loaded as I verified using kldload (lots of the examples
I found show separate load commands for each).

2) I ran through the "new way" of building the module to wrap my
Linksys driver, using ndisgen.  I had only three files on my CD:
Rt61.INF, rt61.sys, rt61.cat.  I ignored the cat file, convinced after
some googling that it was not a binary the driver needed at runtime.

3) During the load of this third kernel module, I kept getting an error:
  failed to load /compat/ndis/rt2561s.bin
I searched my driver cd for this file and it was not there.  Finally,
I Googled it and after a while found myself looking at the ralink
support page:
http://www.ralinktech.com/supp-1.htm

Under firmware, they have a link to a zip file with the magical
rt2561s.bin file.  I burned this onto a cd (the only way I had to get
files onto my new BSD system), and placed it in /compat/ndis.

One more kernel reload... and things now work fine.

Hopefully these instructions will help others who wish to use the very
popular Linksys WMP54G card on BSD 6.

thanks again,
hernan

That sounds strange.  In general, small PID numbers are reserved for
internal kernel threads.  For instance, PID 0 is [swapper].

Duplicate emails on freebsd-questions

2007-02-19 Thread Apatewna
As far as I can tell, the problem with duplicate emails resides on how 
the list software is setup.
I am a member of another list where each email sent out by the list 
software is stripped of all CCs and ReplyTOs. There is only a "ReplyTo" 
address in the form of "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".


Now, whenever a subscriber wants to send a new email to the list, all he 
has to do is add "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" as a recipient (as 
usual on all lists). Whenever he wants to reply to some email he 
received from the list he just uses the "Reply" command in his email 
program.


The way it is done on this list is confusing when it comes to reply to 
mail I received from the list. Almost always I have to use the "Reply to 
all" command and strip all irrelevant addresses (CCs TOs and ReplyTOs) 
leaving just the "freebsd-questions@freebsd.org" as a recipient "To". 
Sometimes in a hurry I forget to delete the aforementioned recipients 
and the mail appears to be sent multiple times to the subscribers 
involved. Some other times I recieve email directly, skipping the list, 
because the other fellow just used the "Reply" button.


I have never run a mailing list before so that I can strictly suggest 
proper action, but this is the way I believe thing are running at the 
moment and it ought to be improved by our suggestions.

[freebsd-questions] Can't build php5?

2007-05-21 Thread Patrick Baldwin
Hi, I'm in the process of trying to build a Horde/IMP server.  I started 
by freshly installing & updating 6.2-RELEASE-p4 FreeBSD.  I then 
installed IMP package with pkg_add -r imp.  All seemed to go well.  I
then started working my way through configuring the various newly 
installed things.


From:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-apache.html

I added:

LoadModule php5_modulelibexec/apache/libphp5.so

AddModule mod_php5.c

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html


AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps


To my /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf file.

When I tried to restart Apache, I get:
 apachectl start
Syntax error on line 238 of /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/local/libexec/apache/libphp5.so into server: Cannot 
open "/usr/local/libexec/apache/libphp5.so"

/usr/local/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started


And sure enough, it's not there.  I go to /usr/ports/lang/php5,
Run make config install, telling it to build Apache module, and
I get:

===>  Vulnerability check disabled, database not found
===>  Found saved configuration for php5-5.2.2
=> suhosin-patch-5.2.2-0.9.6.2.patch.gz doesn't seem to exist in

=> port manually into /usr/ports/distfiles/ and try again.
*** Error code 1

*** Error code 1

My goal here is to get a working FreeBSD 6.2 Horde/IMP server.  I'm new
to all these things, so if I'm going about this the hard or the stupid
way, please don't hesitate to tell me.  It seemed like the easiest and
fastest way to get a working install would be to install the package,
but maybe I'm wrong.

If you have two auto-negotiating devices and one is hard-set to a 
particular speed/duplex, then the other should always choose 100/Half. 
It doesn't try and auto-detect what the other one is speaking. It's 
supposed to be a *negotiation* and if one party doesn't talk, then the 
other one defaults.


So if you can get your Linksys to force the port speed, then you can 
safely do it on your server, otherwise auto-negotiation should negotiate 
100/Full anyway if both can do it.


Here's a better explanation than mine:

Using awk is what you are doing wrong ;-) Assuming that this is all you

From the grep manpage:
"   -l, --files-with-matches
 Suppress  normal  output;  instead  print the name of each

 file from which output would normally have  been  
printed.   The

 scanning will stop on the first match."

The awk answer is that the printf shouldn't be in the BEGIN section, I 
think. It's been a while for me and awk though. Something more like:


#!/usr/bin/awk
BEGIN { FS = ":" }
 {  printf("%s\n", $1) }

would do it. Also see cut(1) which can select fields based on delmiters. 
I don't know if the traditional perception of 'heaviness' associated 
with loading a 'real language' interpreter really hold true nowadays though.


Have fun!

[freebsd-questions] in subject line

2009-10-26 Thread Chris Whitehouse

Hi

Some mailing lists I am on automatically insert the mailing list name in 
square brackets into the subject line. I find this quite useful for 
setting up filters in thunderbird to drop different lists into different 
'folders'


I couldn't see anything in my freebsd questions list account settings to 
add that behaviour. Is it possible somehow? Or is it seen as undesirable?

Gerard, thanks for the reply; that's why I asked if question@ should
be used. postmaster@ explained that all short forms should work the
same way as long ones (ports@ and freebsd-ports@, test@ and
freebsd-test@). In my particular case, it is an occult SMTP server
problem that (almost) always prevents me from sending to short-version
addresses.

But according to postmaster@, short forms are OK and legal.

Sorry for the noise.

You wouldn't happen to be referring to:
List-Post: <mailto:freebsd-questions@freebsd.org
would you?

Er, yes, sorry.  I had a momentary lapse.  The question I should have
asked is more like this:

Is there any particular reason Mutt doesn't recognize the List-Post
header unless I "subscribe" to the list in my .muttrc file?

The easiest way is probably to use Google - start at

[freebsd-questions] Looking @ upgrades mechanisms...

2008-12-01 Thread Javier Vasquez
Hi,

I was reading chapter 4 of the handbook, as well as chapters 24 and
26...  If I got it clear, I pretty much might get the base system
updated by using freebsd-update script.  Ports collection can get
updated with portsnap, but that doesn't update neither the intalled
ports, nor the installed packages.  To upgrade the installed ports,
portmanager or portmaster or portupgrade can be used...  However only
portupgrade can be used to upgrade packages, right?

Now, can something like "portupgrade -a -PP" to upgrade all packages
without building a thing (might be that some don't get updated due to
the lack of binary package yet, and in such case would dependencies be
managed right)?

More into how things work, as ports and pacakages are not part of the
base systems, are they somehow associated to a particular release
(most probably not)?  So that pretty much no matter the release, if
packages and ports are kept up to date, they might be the same for all
releases?

I'm asking these questions since I'm evaluating moving to BSD, but I
want to avoid compiling as much as possible since my box is 800MHz
piii celeron with just 32KB of cache and 512MB of ram, and for it
source based distributions have proven to be too much to handle, so my
intention would be to live with binary packages and updates/upgrades
only...

Also if remaining under -STABLE, is all this possible?  Kind of
understood that openoffice.org can't be installed with "pkg_add -r",
so most probably if living under -STABLE automatic updates for
openoffice.org won't show up...  So this kinds of answers one previous
question about the packages been independent from the base system
release, it looks like they aren't...

Thanks,

--

Re: [freebsd-questions] Error in Makefile?

Hi Lowell,

you are absolutely right. I was able to build it using gmake. Actually, I
used mod_jk2 at the end and I have the system up and running now. Thanks
for your help!
