Why are you setting this? I have tried to set PM_SU_VERBOSE=/usr/local/bin/sudo without success If you can help me here, I have read the manpage hundred times, but haven't found where I am wrong.

I tried it just now with csh, setting the environment variable as you did, but using portmaster with sudo in the way described in the man page and it worked fine. If you would prefer to continue using 'sudo portmaster' that's fine, but you'll need to place the relevant information (such as PACKAGESITE) in ~/.portmasterrc or /usr/local/etc/portmaster.rc.

portmaster upgrade breaks cups-image
8.0R amd64 Part of the upgrade process from 7.2R requires reinstalling all third-party software, such as ports. I use portmaster for this, following the nine-step procedure described in the EXAMPLES section of the manpage. During the upgrade, cups-image fails with the error shown below. A temporary workaround is to disable CUPS support in ghostscript8 and samba3, but I might want to use this box as a print server in the future. Thanks in advance for clues on fixing this error.

Adding to assumptions: one wants to use gnome as desktop.
All following steps are to be executed as root.
a)Make sure /etc/rc.conf has at least the following 5 lines.
dbus_enable=YES

b)Make sure /boot/loader.conf has at least the following 3 lines.

This is a) not needed and b) doesn't do anything useful, since the default
will still be the compiled default, unless you also set kern.defdsiz. The only
thing this does is allow the datasize limit to be raised to 700M, using
limits(1), but since the default still is 512M an unaware application will
still fail malloc(3) if allocating beyond 512M.
linprocfs_load=YES
linsysfs_load=YES
Which ports you mention require linsysfs?
c)Make sure /etc/fstab has at least the following 3 lines.
proc/proc procfs
rw00
linproc /usr/compat/linux/proclinprocfsrw00
linsys /usr/compat/linux/sys linsysfs rw0

Better to use /compat/linux/*. While by default it resides on /usr, it is
convenient to be able to change the symlink, for example to test a new
linux_base port without wiping the current one or to free up space on the /usr
partition.
d)Upgrage from python25 to python26 along with all dependent ports
as follows :
rm -rf /usr/ports 2/dev/null
Or you can simply not install the ports distribution, since this is the first
thing you do. I also don't understand why you install a boatload of packages
from CD/DVD only to complicate things by upgrading by my estimate at least
70%. Why not just portsnap and build the leafs?
mkdir -p /usr/ports/distfiles
portsnap fetch extract
cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portupgrade
make deinstall 2/dev/null
make install clean
portupgrade -C -r -o lang/python26 lang/python25
portupgrade -rfx python26 python26
pkgdb -F
Before doing anything further, reboot.
This needs a reason. I don't know any.
Immediately after reboot, execute
Part-2.
Part-2) Steps to be followed whenever a significant number new
ports/patches are available and you need to ensure your ports as well as
your ports directory are up to date :
thisdate=`date +%Y-%m-%n`
I assume that's %d, since %n is a newline.
rm /root/portupgrade-${thisdate}.log 2/dev/null
portsnap fetch update
portupgrade -ace -uRl /root/portupgrade-${thisdate}.log
pkgdb -F
Note : If you plan to install any linux ports, you should have said yes
to 'Linux binary compatibility' at the time you installed FreeBSD. If
you didn't, the very first port you need to build is
emulators/linux_base-fc4
If you use net/skype you will need linux_base-fc6, so again using sysinstall
can be a problem.

After running pkgdb -F, I find that there hundreds of ports depending on
python2.5.
Most of these are probably indirectly dependent, and may not be
seriously affected. Many, for example, may have been dragged in by
xorg's silly dependency on python via libxcb.
Looks to me it will be easier to backup my dstfiles and reinstall
the whole system afresh a 3rd time rather than trying to fix the existing
ports. This time I will install no packages from the installation media, and
build directly from ports instead. The first 2 ports I will build this time
will be lang/python26 followed by lang/python.
Sounds good.
I suppose this should set the
systemwide default python version to 2.6.
As the others have mentioned, you don't need to do this unless you
wish to use a version of python other than 2.6, which is now the
default.
1) How do I find or set PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION ?
2) What workaround would be needed in make.conf to get 2.5-hardwired ports
to use 2.6 instead ?
1) See above.
2) I didn't mean, as Seaman seemed to think, and you may have, that
you can use ports built against 2.5 with 2.6. That would only rarely
work, and most likely lead to all sorts of problems. Instead you
should proceed with your plan, and rebuild all dependent ports via:
pkgdb -L
pkgdb -F
portupgrade -fvrx lang/python26 lang/python26
rm -r /usr/local/lib/python2.5
or rebuild just that subset of ports that are most likely to be broken
by the change, via the upgrade-site-packages target in lang/python, as
Seaman suggested.
What I meant by my original comment was, that if you should happen to
want to build a port against 2.6, but find that it is hardwired in the
port Makefile via USE_PYTHON to another version or versions, and you
don't want to go to the trouble of patching the port Makefile, and
then preserving this local modification when you merge in updates to
the port tree, you can add a workaround in /etc/make.conf. Say, for
example, you see that mail/py-spambayes has:
USE_PYTHON= -2.5
in the port Makefile, and you want to install spambayes, but you don't
want to have to reinstall python 2.5 or an earlier version of python.
If you add:
.if${.CURDIR:M*/mail/py-spambayes*}
PYTHON_VERSION=python2.6
NO_IGNORE=yes
.endif
to /etc/make.conf, you can override the spambayes port Makefile
without patching it. Now, you are _not_ supposed to do this, and you
will probably have to deal with any consequences of such a local
change on your own. Many ports have these restrictions for a good
reason, but such an override can be occasionally useful.

Hi,
After a marathon session spread over 2 days, I have managed to set up a
new FreeBSD-7.2 installation with all ports (762) up to date. From the
gleanings of this conversation and some reading I did myself, I have
compiled a small document for what-to-do-after-installation. I would
dearly appreciate your comments on the document, and would be extremely
glad if my document could be of any help to somebody else too.
Please note that portupgrade works much better on my system than
portmaster. So the following document assumes/recommends using portupgrade.
Here it is.

If you want to use a non-default value you can override the default by adding eg.: PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION= python2.5 to /etc/make.conf. You can see what actual value value is used by issuing the following command in any port that uses python: happy-idiot-talk:...ports/graphics/py-cairo:% make -V PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION python2.6 Note that 'PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION' is the python version any add-on modules will be compiled against.

Previously installed ports have to be modified to use py26, as described in the 20090608 entry in /usr/ports/UPDATING: Once the installed Python has been updated to 2.6, by using the method above, it is required to run the upgrade-site-packages target in lang/python to assure that site-packages are made available to the new Python version. If using portupgrade: # cd /usr/ports/lang/python make upgrade-site-packages If using portmaster: # cd /usr/ports/lang/python make upgrade-site-packages -DUSE_PORTMASTER The portmaster case can take quite some time to complete due to the lack of cached information that the portupgrade suite uses (specifically pkg_which).

It's just a dummy header used during a test in the configure script to see how the compiler reacts when a header isn't there, in preparation for testing for the presence of real headers. That shouldn't be the problem: are you sure the configure script really failed at that point? If so, something is probably wrong with your compiler or toolchain, and that's usually bad news. :( py-cairo-1.8.4 needs python2.6. My system has both python2.5 and python2.6 installed, with their headers under /usr/local/include/python2.5 and /usr/local/include/python2.6 respectively. Why do you have both versions installed? 2.6 is largely backwards-compatible with 2.5, so why not just rip out 2.5 and use 2.6 exclusively? You'll save some trouble and disk space. Make sure your ports tree is up-to-date, so that PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION defaults to python2.6. Then deinstall lang/python25 and reinstall lang/python26. In particular, check to see that /usr/local/bin/python is present is a link to /usr/local/bin/python2.6. If it isn't, then something is wrong -- perhaps you have PYTHON_VERSION or PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION defined to the wrong value, or your ports tree is corrupt. Then rebuild all of the ports that depend upon python, and remove any vestige of the old /usr/local/lib/python2.5 directory tree. If you've stale ports that are still wired to use python2.5 for no good reason, you can patch them or their port Makefiles, or put a workaround in make.conf. Any help on enabling py-cairo locate the python headers would be greatly appreciated. What is the output of: make -C /usr/ports/graphics/py-cairo -V CONFIGURE_ENV If PYTHON is in there, properly defined as the path to the python2.6 binary, and the binary actually exists, then the configure script should succeed. If not, something is wrong. The configure script uses: PYTHON_INCLUDES=`$PYTHON-config --includes 2/dev/null` to find the proper Python.h. Is /usr/local/bin/python2.6-config missing or broken on your system? What about /usr/local/include/python2.6/Python.h? b. ___ 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

This has nothing to do with portmaster. Remember, portmaster is just
a (sometimes) convenient shell script wrapper for the normal ports
infrastructure. What you're probably seeing is either the usual
fluctuations in network performance, or the difference between wget
and FreeBSD fetch(1), which by default is used for getting distfiles
and packages. This is set in bsd.port.mk, and you can override it if
you prefer to use something else. See the comments concerning
FETCH_BINARY, FETCH_ARGS, FETCH_CMD, FETCH_{BEFORE,AFTER}_ARGS,
FETCH_ENV, and FETCH_REGET at the top of bsd.port.mk, or the relevant
portion of that script. You can also try tuning your network
settings, which can speed things up significantly in some cases.
It respects IGNORE (it checks for it in the port Makefile, and also
hands off to bsd.port.mk, which respects it).
I got a curl port from portsnap marked IGNORE. portmaster did not ignore
it anywhere near gracefully enough and finally killed off all child
processes and itself.
Uh, yeah -- but that's another matter. It did IGNORE it, but it just
stopped entirely. This is another one of the things that need
improvement. portupgrade, by contrast, will keep going, only ignoring
the port in question and any ports that depend upon it, but updating
the rest. You should be able to patch portmaster to mimic this
behavior.
Anyway, my system became so unpredictable that I had to reinstall
FreeBSD. For the moment, I am avoiding portmaster till I can try it out
on a dummy PC first.
Well, something is awry if your system was damaged that badly, and it
probably wasn't because of portmaster. In general, few ports ought to
damage the base system. You're probably better off trying to remove
and then reinstall all of your ports first (the instructions in the
portmaster manpage are good in this regard), before reinstalling
everything.
BTW, I also tried portmanager and it segfaulted at the stage of
generating a report.
Oh, well. Sounds like a job for rnol...@freebsd.org. But wait --
who wants to bother him about some tiny piece of port management
software when he is heroically staging a single-handed campaign to
maintain X11 on FreeBSD?

Questions on portmaster
Hi, I am using portmaster on FreeBSD-7.2 to keep my ports up to date. When there are multiple ports to be updated, portmaster will fork off child processes. Does each child start 'make fetch' in the background ? I ask this because the parent process attached to the console reports very low data transfer rates (in the range of 0.7 to 4.0 kBps, while normally I get 30 to 35 kBps). Further, how can portmaster be tuned to automatically ignore ports which are actually marked as IGNORE in the port directory ? This is not covered in the manpage. While doing portmaster -a, I have only managed to stop portmaster from building exactly one port specified with the -x option. Can I get to stop multiple ports from being built ? Is there regular expression support for the -x option ? Thanks for any help. -- Regards Manish Jain invalid.poin...@gmail.com +91-96500-10329 Laast year I kudn't spell Software Engineer.

Hello Manish, Regarding your last point about excluding particular ports I always thought that it would be convenient to have a section in /usr/local/etc/portmaster.rc and/or $HOME/.portmasterrc to identify these particular ports. I prefer to have all this information in one place rather than scattered over many subdirectories. I had the same problem with trying to have multiple instances of -x but gave up and used +IGNOREME instead. Some time ago I succeeded with a regular expression but it became overly complicated if more than two ports were to be excluded. Nevertheless, I use portmaster daily and am very pleased with it.

Hello BF/Roland,
Thanks for the clarifications.
Regarding the download speeds I was getting with portmaster fetches (0.7
kBps to 4.0 kBps), I immediately booted into Windows/Cygwin and did a
wget from the same site portmaster was using. The speed I got from wget
was ~ 35 kBps. This happened not just once but multiple times. Each time
I did this, I had to interrupt portmaster. Finally I managed to get to

it reported comparable transfer rates (~ 35 kBps) from the same sites as

It respects IGNORE (it checks for it in the port Makefile, and also
hands off to bsd.port.mk, which respects it).
I got a curl port from portsnap marked IGNORE. portmaster did not ignore
it anywhere near gracefully enough and finally killed off all child
processes and itself.
The IGNOREME way is fine for me for avoiding multiple ports I know
beforehand I do not want to build. But if a portsnap update creates an
IGNORE port, portmaster should be skipping it entirely rather than
having to kill all child processes and itself. In my experience, this
did not happen. Or maybe my system was badly broken already by that time.
Anyway, my system became so unpredictable that I had to reinstall
FreeBSD. For the moment, I am avoiding portmaster till I can try it out
on a dummy PC first.
BTW, I also tried portmanager and it segfaulted at the stage of
generating a report.
Thanks for all the help.

Norwegian should be no if I'm not mistaken.If you install

like this specifically to avoid the sort of complications that can occur
when the running image does not match what is on disk.
mysql does, apache doesn't.
So upgrade mysql-server last thing before you reboot. Although I know you're
not using portupgrade, this snippet from pkgtools.conf has been a blessing in
minimizing outage lengths during updates on live servers:
AFTERINSTALL = {
'*' = proc { |origin|
cmd_start_rc(origin)
},
}
Of couse, the best course of action is to plan sufficient downtime that you
can do the upgrades comfortably plus recover from any number of ways things
might go wrong, but sometimes that simply isn't possible.
Cheers,
Matthew

Re: portmaster -a on a live server

I had started (abandoned now) a script that would dynamically ask the rc.d system if a package was running when it was time to install a new package, meaning that it needs to stop, install, and start the package during the upgrade process. Worked well, until I realized that lots of ports don't do much (if any) work until make install is called, then it will (of all things) download and install depenencies and itself. So while all the dependencies are being downloaded and installed, the original package that needed to be upgrade has not been running. On large upgrades for the sake of anything better to example, Xorg, KDE/Gnome, MySQL/PostgreSQL all were NOT running during the 'install' phase which should be quick. Instead due to the Makefile writing it was delaying the install and restart of the packages anywhere from minutes to hours (to days.. OpenOffice). I abandoned the project mostly because I found little things about the ports system that is invisible to most people, but when dealing with the ports system details, they were the sore thumb. Since then I've found portmanager/portmaster/portupgrade have improved so now it's time to improve their stuff in terms of patches and upgrades. YMMV, I just didn't see the success Matthew had. --Tim ___ 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

so i'll try
portmaster -a -x mysql-server
portmaster mysql-server
reboot
which might work ok as mysql-server is a leaf node in my config

it's finding the optimum between minimizing downtime and having enough that

Well, sometimes by a day or two, so I guess if you're portupgrading daily or whatever. For larger portupgrades after a while (as I tend :) I very rarely miss finding all the latest packages, ie as perryh said: portupgrade -PP manages somehow. Not somehow, but because it works with /usr/ports. Try renaming your ports directory and see how that goes. Also, -PP wastes a lot of bandwidth. Just look at the ammount of packages that are downloaded which aren't actually installed, because the version is older or equal then installed. I don't get your latter point, Mel. Assuming the ports tree is up to date (I can't comment on using just an INDEX without a ports tree) then the package versions obtained using -PP match those in the ports tree; I don't recall it ever downloading older packages than the ports versions? BTW, the OP may not realize that the package system is a subset of the port system, rather than an alternative. Packages are generated using the port system.

But there's still too many raw edges that I'd like the tools released into the wild. Fair enough, but I think perryh's point stands; many people appear to believe that ports and packages are separate systems. We've even seen people say you shouldn't mix the two methods which is utter nonsense. For a large (likely overdue :) portupgrade session, after updating the tree I start with portupgrade -anPP which fetches all available packages to /usr/ports/packages, without updating anything yet. Sometimes some regional mirrors aren't quite up to date, so I might need to finish off with a visit to somewhere closer to (ultimately) ftp.freebsd.org. Then portupgrade -aP uses the (now local) packages, builds any ports for which there is no package for licence etc reasons, sometimes grabbing a few more dependent packages along the way, but my poor lil' ol' laptop doesn't need to spend days compiling Xorg, KDE, openoffice if you use it, and a bunch of other big ports; it only takes quite a few hours :) and a little extra bandwidth saving days of building is fine by me .. The only largish port that always needs (re)building here is PHP, where the default options and thus the built package - weirdly, in my view - doesn't include mod_php, though I bet most PHP users wanted it for that. cheers, Ian ___ 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

Port maintainers then can also set WITHOUT_PARALLEL (or USE_PARALLEL=NO etc) for ports that break by themselves (f.e. www/lynx, editors/vim). portmaster should then have no problem setting BUILD_JOBS on request. That would be absolutely perfect! At least, big ports (www/firefox3 etc...) that take a long time to compile could use USE_PARALLEL=YES right now (or the solution with make.conf) if they are safe with -jN. The gazillion smallish ports could come later when maintainers have some time to follow up, but they are not really all that critical.

make -jN build with portmaster
To build ports in parallel on a 4 core machine, I usually do this manually: # cd /usr/ports/some/port # make configure make -j5 build make install clean because all steps except make build are not compatible with -jN (some ports don't work with -jN in the make build phase either, but they are quite rare). Now, is there a way to teach portmaster to build or rebuild ports this way? The only workaround for now is something like: # cd /usr/ports/some/port # make configure make -j5 build # portmaster -b -d -C name-of-some/port-in-pkg-var-db which doesn't clean up some/port/work before building, thus using the manual parallel step before. So, how can portmaster run 'make -jN build' instead of simple 'make build'? (I know about portmaster's -m option, but passing -jN to it won't work, as it would also try to apply this to other phases than make build).

That's a good hint indeed. I'll try it. Maybe I'll modify it a bit to
include ONLY the build target, because -jN fails on nearly every
other target, AFAICS.

Yes, that's true, and it could happen. But I don't remember having
had a port compile, yet silently fail, yet. (*knocking-on-wood*). ;)

Yes. Actually, it's not portmaster specific -- it works for any method of
using ports. Just edit /etc/make.conf to include the options you want.
eg.
WITH_OPENSSL_PORT= yes
WITH_BDB_VER= 46
WITH_MYSQL_VER= 50
WITH_OPENLDAP_VER= 24
WANT_OPENLDAP_SASL= yes
WITH_APACHE2= yes
APACHE_PORT=www/apache22
WITH_MODPERL2= yes

WITH_ARCHIVE=yes

If editing /etc/make.conf gives you too much grief, then look at the
ports-mgmt/portconf tool -- it works the same way (ie. by setting
variables in the make system) but has a user interface that attempts
to be a bit more friendly.

Re: portmaster argument question
Hi all, now I am taking a step back, instead of letting portmaster decides which to upgrade, I use the option -i to interactively update the ports. and I found out that -uBdir is different from -u -B -d -i -r, the latter one is the right way. I dont know how to use -R option, since I have tried -R -r but portmaster still upgrade every single port, With -i option, portmaster still re-upgrade gettext, but at least it's moving to new ports that have not been upgraded. this is just my two cents... thanks!

AFAIK all the ports that depend on gettext were version-bumped, so it's not essential to force the upgrade. In other words you can just update those ports that are still out-of-date -just like any other update. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

portmaster question
Hi, I recently did a binary upgrade from 6.2-RELEASE to 6.3-RELEASE and everything went smoothly. For good measure I decided to do an upgrade of all of my installed ports with the following command: sudo portmaster -Rfda It quit out when failing to build the ImageMagick port which is fine, one thing I am curious of is, the next time I go to run that command, will it still rebuild all of my ports or start off from where it left off the previous run? -- Regards, Terry Sposato [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sucked-in.com GnuPG Key : 0xB7643BC8 Fingerprint: EE92 D9E1 C98E 759F 5991 DFF6 70CE 8936 B764 3BC8 signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Perhaps I have something to learn here.
