I have had this exact issue when installing postgresql via portmaster. When
it fails (and it almost always does for me on 8.3-RELEASE when installing
9.1) I use vipw to remove the entry for the pgsql user. It's a little
tedious but not enough of a headache for me to file a PR or investigate.

Sorry for the noise I forgot to run pwd_mkdb first time. I had success
with pw group del git_daemon then editing master.passwd and run
pwd_mkdb -p master.passwd which generate password database and
recreate passwd from master.passwd.

BTW, why system does not know user git_daemon when git_daemon was in
passwd and master.passwd? I am using portmaster to upgrade my
installed ports.

Thanks for your answer. The UPDATING entry is about the daemon process
repository permission not about the error I have. Mine is some problem
in user adding process at port install I think.

latest git ports upgrade

[Artifex Maximus]

Hello!

On upgrade I got the following error with git port:

===> Creating users and/or groups.
Using existing group `git_daemon'.
Creating user `git_daemon' with uid `964'.
pw: user 'git_daemon' already exists
*** Error code 74

Look for git_daemon user:

# id git_daemon
id: git_daemon: no such user

Hm. Try to delete:

# pw userdel git_daemon
pw: no such user `git_daemon'

Well. Are there really no such user?

# grep git_daemon /etc/passwd
git_daemon:*:964:964:git daemon:/nonexistent:/usr/sbin/nologin
# grep git_daemon /etc/master.passwd
git_daemon:*:964:964::0:0:git daemon:/nonexistent:/usr/sbin/nologin

Strange. Ok, do it manually. I remove git_daemon from passwd,
master.passwd and group which is basically a no-no process I know.
Then try to upgrade again. Now a little different error but still not
able to upgrade:

===> Creating users and/or groups.
Creating group `git_daemon' with gid `964'.
Creating user `git_daemon' with uid `964'.
pw: user 'git_daemon' disappeared during update
*** Error code 67

On next upgrade got the first error so I am in loop. Any idea what to do?

There's no way to do it fully automatically, but porters try to do this
by hand, by incrementing PORTREVISION for the dependent ports.  Once
that is done, portupgrade will pick it up automatically.  However,
porters will sometimes miss subtle dependencies, especially optional
ones.  

In this case, I don't see a direct dependency of inkscape on atkmm, so I
don't know how it should have been marked.  In any case, inkscape was
updated shortly after atkmm, so if you upgraded everything more
recently, it looks like you should have gotten inkscape rebuilt after
the atkmm change.

portupgrade -rfx atkmm atkmm should take care of the issue, although
portupgrade -rf atkmm is probably ok too, unless atkmm takes multiple hours to
build.

as a workaround you could also add an entry to /etc/libmap.conf:

libatkmm-1.6.so.1   libatkmm-1.6.so.2

if things in libatkmm haven't changed too much you might get away with it for
now and delay the portupgrade to some time that's more convenient to you.

cheers.

Ports: How do dependent ports upgrade when dependency shared lib version is bumped?

[Yuri]

I recently updates the system. libatkmm-1.6.so.1 got bumped to 
libatkmm-1.6.so.2, now inkscape fails:
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libatkmm-1.6.so.1" not found, 
required by "inkscape"


What is the right behavior in such situation? Should all depending 
packages be also automatically bumped? Or portupghrade should detect the 
change and automatically upgrade dependent ports?

OK, you have a mix with FC4 and F8 ports. The best way for you is
to remove all linux ports, clean /compat/linux and reinstall needed
linux applications (i.e. linux-realplayer, acroread8, skype, etc.).

Yes, that may be a good choice for you.

It's funny, sometimes I think portmaster knows  that it should upgrade
linux-f8* ports and not linux-* ports but sometimes doesn't. I don't know
why...

Yes, those ports install files with the sane name/path, so they have
a conflict and can't be used/unstalled together.

I don't use portmaster but you are first to complain. Can you show
the output of "pkg_info -xI linux"?

> And also curious to know which linux* is better?

Hm, it a good question. ;-)
The one which does what you need. But there are some security
problems (seems with pango ports) which won't be resolved for
Fedora Core 4 ports (since there is no new fixed packages).

> with or without f8/f10? thank you!!

It depends on your OS version and your tasks. The default (even
for 8-CURRENT so far) is linux_base-fc4 and it's infrastructure
ports. I think that for FreeBSD-6.x and lower there is no other
alternative. For 7.2-RELEASE (and even better, 7-STABLE) one can
use -f8- base and infrastructure ports. For recent 8-CURRENT one
can use -f10- ports. There is a WIP to change this to default for
8-CURRENT.

linux compatibility ports upgrade

[Tsu-Fan Cheng]

Hi,   Just use portmaster to upgrade ports and found out a lot of linux-*
ports are renewed. But strange to see that upgrading was interrupted by
ports conflicts, such as linux-f8-tiff and linux-tiff. What I have are a
whole bunch of f8 stuff, I dont understand why portmaster choose to upgrade
ports that are not "f8". And also curious to know which linux* is better?
with or without f8/f10? thank you!!

firefox3 crashes after ports upgrade

[Yuri]

Yesterday I updated ports. And now firefox3 crashes right after start.
Windows firefox3 under wine also has some graphics defects, many icons 
are jammed.

Some icons in kde4 applets are oversized.

Something isn't quite right.
Anyone has similar problems?

This is prefaced by:

"Note: Depending on whether any libraries version numbers got bumped,
there may only be two install phases instead of three."

Rebuilding all the installed ports being the third phase.

Since you're just going from 7.0 to 7.1 this shouldn't be the case
unless specifically mentioned in /usr/src/UPDATING

I am not so sure. According to
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/updating-upgrading-freebsdupdate.html

"All third party software will now need to be rebuilt and
re-installed. This is required as installed software may depend on
libraries which have been removed during the upgrade process. The
ports-mgmt/portupgrade command may be used to automate this process.
The following commands may be used to begin this process:"

So my thinking is that by issuing portupgrade -af both python and
mailman will get reinstalled. However, the option suggested by Roland
(thank you!) of touching /var/db/pkg/mailman/+IGNOREME seems very
interesting. I must read more about it.

Thank you all!

Keep in mind mailman is all python.  There really is nothing to  
recompile after a system upgrade.  (Unless you are upgrading python  
which you aren't).

Not necessarily. Upgrading all ports is only mandatory after a major
version update, e.g. from 6.x to 7.x because of changed shared library
versions. A point release should not affect shared library versions.

Personally, I like to keep the ports on my desktop updated every other
week or so, depending on if I see something interesting on freshports...

You should merge any differences by hand instead of overwriting
them. 'diff -u' is your friend there.

'chflags schg,sunlnk ' (as root) will do the trick. Even root
cannot overwrite these without removing the flags.

Touch /var/db/pkg/mailman/+IGNOREME. This should make both portmaster
and portupgrade leave this port alone.

Or see if you can get your changes comitted upstream. Maybe as OPTIONS?

Can you verify that the original copy of the files you've hacked have
indeed been modified in the upgraded version?

Perhaps you could download the source for both the new version in ports,
and the original version, and find out exactly what, if any changes have
been made to your modified files.

Performing installed ports upgrade / leaving some software intact

[Zbigniew Szalbot]

Dear all,

I am now full into planning the 7.0-RELEASE to 7.1-RELEASE upgrade. I
know that at the end of the day it will also mean upgrading all ports
(portupgrade -af). I have one port - mailman - which I have customized
a lot and do not really want to upgrade it as it will most likely mean
I will have to hack a few files again.

What options do I have so that I do not break the setup?

I am thinking of:

1/ backing up the hacked files and restoring them later (but I will
overwrite the newer files with older ones perhaps breaking something).
2/ making them read only (but the end result will be the same and
upgrading as root I will overwrite them anyway).

And that would be it. My wisdom ends here. Is there any option to
survive the ports upgrade? :)

If not, I guess I will just have to hack Mailman files again after the
upgrade...

Re: Ports upgrade within Jail

[Ivailo Tanusheff]

The only common between the jail and the hosted system are the kernel and 
its drivers.
You may use entirely different ports in the base system and into the 
jailed enviroment. So you may keep your jailed ports up to date without 
any concern as long as they do not conflict with the base system drivers 
and etc.

Ports upgrade within Jail






Hello List,
i have a jail hosted on a 6-2 RELEASE machine i don't have access to. As 
i don't have access, i can't upgrade the base system. But i would like 
to keep the ports i use up to date.

Will i encounter problems if i just upgrade my ports using portsnap and 
portmaster? or will those tools be aware of the version my base system 
is and only use ports that are made for this version?

The components of your jail are totally seperate from the host. You
can use portsnap, or cvsup, or csup (can you? not sure) to update
*your* ports collection.

Only things which won't work are kernel drivers etc, you can't load
them. But for the rest, no problem at all.

Re: Samba doesn't start after a ports upgrade

[Reinhold]

Woot, its back up.

The problem was cups.

I never used cups before, but for some reason now I have to start cups up
so that samba can work.

Thank you, the thread can be found here[0]. I use now "portupgrade -a --batch"
There are so many port management tools. Which one is officially
recommended? What do you use and why?

It's not actually portmanager, it's the ports-system itself. This

That reminds me of an optimist who fell off of a fifty story building.
As he passed each floor on the way down, he yelled, "So, so far!"

Seriously, I hope you are right. I believe it was 'gettext' that was
updated a short time age. That update caused me all sorts of
dependency problems. My shell, bash, would no longer work, etc.
Over a hundred ports had to be updated to get everything back on an
even keel. That is the sort of problem I am worried about. Hopefully,
it won't happen.


FYI, if you'd used an upgrade tool like portupgrade it would have been
seamless because portupgrade keeps the old library version around for
precisely this reason.

OK, but the point about the cause of your problems stands.  If you're
going to complain about dependency problems, you should consider
instead using a tool that is mature enough to handle them without
causing problems.

Actually, I ended up using portmanager with the '-p' flag to force
updating of all dependencies no matter how far down the dependency
tree they were.

Nay!  Your dark thoughts and negative vibes will not deter my boundless
optimism!  I have faith that the xorg developers will prevail in their
effort to create stable, consistent interfaces between modules!

It's not an assumption, its OPTIMISM!

"as long as" is an assumption which I haven't seen any evidence that 
xorg developers are willing to warrant.

fwiw, they changed interface in the Xaw library a couple of years ago,
which required some a change to xterm.

Absent any evidence that they're going to maintain stable interfaces,
this is just an assumption.

No.  As long as the communication interface between modules (whether
it be an API or something else) doesn't change, it's perfectly possible
to update a single module without updating anything else.

In practice, I've updated 5 or 6 little sub-ports of xorg 7 since I
did the switch, and haven't had to rebuild all of xorg yet.

I am not totally convinced. If one small package is updated that is
depended on by 10 other package that in turn are depended on by a like
number of other packages, what has been really gained by breaking
everything into small bits? They may be easier to maintain; however
the impact on updating the system seems like it would be minimal.

In MS case, I would expect them to spell it 'holey' and introduce
some special incantations to be used with prescribed incense.

xorg is now 180-230 some-odd tiny packages (ports)

No, but a _lot_ of stuff which used to be bundled is now its
own port.  An additional 225+ packages sounds about right.

As best I can tell, xorg has been reorganized so that instead of a few
large ports, it's now a whole bunch of small ports.

Theoretically, this should allow faster/easier updating, and eventually
allow you to deinstall a lot of xorg that you don't need (for example,
drivers for video cards you don't have)

Hi,

I recently upgraded to xorg 7.2 by doing a complete portupgrade. I run
FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE, with the default kernel, and default settings.
Initially I had about 230 packages installed, and after the upgrade
the number has gone up to 450! Lot of these seem to be X related
packages.

Does xorg 7.2 have more dependencies, and hence so many ports were installed?

Hey Dominik.

Imagine you don't plan any release upgrade...

Do you make from while to while any rebuild of your ports with portsnap,
portupgrade, portmanager or another tool?.

I hope my question answer your question.

Actually, that isn't the case.  You only *need* to force a rebuild of
all ports if you update across a major version number (eg. 5.5 --> 6.2).
That's because  the ABI version on various system shlibs is bumped
with the new major version.  While you can still keep running 5.x
software on a 6.x system (by installing the compat5x stuff) you will
very quickly run into problems when updating if all or most of your
ports aren't compiled on the current OS version.

For a minor version number bump (6.1 --> 6.2) generally upgrading
everything should not be necessary.  There might be one or two ports
in the tree that notice the difference, but those are the exception
rather than the rule and can be updated individually if they cause
a problem.  In fact, by far the most likely scenario for the OP is that
he won't need to do anything at all to his installed ports: it will all
just keep on working fine.

Cheers,

Matthew

You don't need to run make index... just cd into /usr/ports and type


Better yet, don't screw with cvsup.  "Portsnap" is standard equipment

I'm saying that if you had missing libraries after your upgrade then
you did something wrong, e.g. you didn't update everything you were

Considerations I can think of -

(1) Advantage of using -HEAD (-CURRENT): Updates to ports may include
security fixes.

(2) Disadvantage of using -HEAD (-CURRENT): It is possible, though
perhaps not likely, that an updated port would require something your
-RELEASE base system lacked.

As I understand it, release tagsare static.  If you specify a release
tag, you get the ports as they were at the time of that release. 
Ports don't branch with releases, so if you want updated ports, you
use "tag=."

Ports *are* tagged for each release, but they are not branched.

I have been using it like this for years, obviously changing to the latest
release tag.  I haven't had problem and I'm not having problems, but my
question is this:

Is it advisable to sync my source to RELEASE, but to CURRENT for ports?
Typically, I upgade my ports a few days after they get updated so I'm always
running the latest version, but would it be better to sync both ports and
source to RELEASE?
  

Hi Mike,

It would be nice I guess if ports were tagged like src but they are not.
Basically HEAD is all there is vis-a-vis tags.  You can specify a
specific date however.

Obviously, it depends, somewhat, on personal choice, but in terms of
stablity and "correctness" which is better?

Just delete /usr/src.  You can get it back if you need it by redoing the

Newbie: Ports upgrade, CVSup, and disk space problems

[Charles Haynes]

Hi, all. I'm new to FreeBSD. 

I'm setting up a machine to act as a webserver using: 

FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE-p12-jc2 (jail18) #0

Tonight I added the package: 

cvsup-without-gui-16.1h_2 

and ran: 

# cvsup -g -L 2 /root/cvs-supfile

After it ran (which took over an hour), I realized I used the
"cvs-supfile" and not the "ports-supfile." I only wanted to update the
ports tree, and not download the entire CVS repository. How do I prune
this back to a manageable size? I'm going to be using this machine
(it's a VPS) as a webserver only. 

Many thanks for any assistance you can offer!

portupgrade is the program. it is found in /usr/ports/sysutils/

portupgrade -varR will upgrade everything including all dependencies.

check the man page cos you can get it to upgrade using binaries 
instead of compiling, if they are available.

also the below article is very useful.

ports upgrade question 4.10 stable

[Alexander J. Martinez]

I am a new FreeBSD user coming from Debian Linux.
I think I have finally got the upgrading process done right.  I just
need to know if I am missing anything or have something configured
wrong. I have gotten bits and pieces from this forum, FreeBSD handbook
and the examples that came with this installation.  The following is the
supfile that I use with cvsup (no-gui)

*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=.

# end supfile


The following script is the one I use to upgrade the ports:

You've pretty much got the right idea.  portupgrade(1) is the tool to
use.  However, you should read /usr/ports/UPDATING carefully -- apart
from anything else, if you're upgrading from the ports tree as it was
at the time of 5.2-RELEASE you'll have a tricky ruby(1) version bump
to deal with (ruby is the language portupgrade is written in) as well
as major updates for some large software collections like Gnome and
KDE.  

Note that the ports collection is developed pretty much independently
from the base system, and reflects the completely independent
development of software by any number of completely different
projects.  There's no particular requirement to only upgrade your
ports concurrently with upgrading your system.  In fact, it's probably
better to upgrade ports slightly more frequently (or perhaps even a
lot more frequently) than the base system.

Cheers,

Matthew

ports upgrade question

[alexander botov]

Hi to everyone !

I'm sure that this is a trivial question to ask . I'm considering source and 
ports tree upgarde from 5.2_REL to 5.2.1_REL . I've never did cvs before
(usually i back up , format + binary install and restore ) . I've read the 
article from the handbook and everything is pretty much explained there . My 
question is when i install the new distro how should i upgrade the ports tree 
after syncing it from cvs ? Are there any guidelines , tips or tricks ? I've 
heard about portupgrade port . Is this the right tool for bringing my ports 
up to date ? Your help will be greatly appreciated and I hope will save me 
hours of hesitation and headache :-)

Thanks

I think it will time out and exit the process eventually, so you would
have to restart the cvsup.  You could script that, but be careful as
noted below.

> or i have to download it one time?

No, it is mostly a linear process.  Whatever is updated by the time you
disconnect will still be updated.  Then when you restart the cvsup, you
wont have to redo that part.  There is some overhead searching through
parts that don't need to be updated, so don't do it every 5minutes, but
its not huge overhead.

ports upgrade error?

[Marwan Sultan]

Hello everyone,

Im on FreeBSD 5.1-Release, CVsup, portupgrade are installed.
I want to upgrade my ports tree, so I did whats on the Handbook.
I'v copied and edit the file - ports-supfile.
I ran the command cvsup -g -L 2 /path/to/ports-supfile

And it gave me the following error:

Parsing supfile "/usr/home/deadline/things/ports-supfile"
Release not specified for collection "host=cvsup1.freebsd.org"

I tired to change the mirror site, Also i tried to uncomment one of the 
packages, and I tired to add ports-all to end of the entries, but 
all gave the same error, any ideas? tips? please.

This is my ports-supfile entries:

host=cvsup1.freebsd.org
*default host=cvsup1.freebsd.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=.
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
ports-all


PS: This command will run as a background proccess? if i disconnect from
internet and I connect again later (Dialup) it will resume the updating?

It is only the beginning. You also have to download the distfiles for 
each of the ports that you want to update. You could also download the 
packages and bypass building the ports. 

I don't think the packages will be as uptodate as the port structure 
that you would download. They require hours to build. Where as, the 
port structure can be tarballed fairly quickly every day.

You will often be able to build most or all of your new ports without 
building the world, because cvsup-ing has updated the ports skeletons.  
However, occasionally an updated port will depend on something in your 
system having been updated, so building world would be necessary to avoid 
breakage.  Therefore, unless building the world would be a problem (takes 
too long, don't want to take the machine offline, etc.), doing so avoids 
any potential difficulty.

ports upgrade?

[Omer Faruk Sen]

First I am sorry if here is not the right place to ask it. I am trying to 
update a port but I am having a problem. I am in fact having problems while 
patch'ing my old port. Here is what I have done. 

#cp -r category/ports category/ports.old
#cd category/ports

#cd /usr/ports/category
#diff -ruN ports.old ports >patch 

I have 2 questions here.
1)I have to remove a directory from my port. How can I do that? I have rm 
-fr /usr/ports/category/ports/files but it didn't work since patch didn't 
remove that directory. 

2)After patching ports with `patch < patch' i see files with *.orig but I 
think they shouldn't be there. 

I have read the porters' handbook of course. But I think there can be a 
ports' upgraders :) section too in that guide.
