Once PRs are filed, we are able to track them and if the maintainer does not work on them after a period of time, it's fair game for other people to work on them as well. mcl ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Thanks mcl. I am off on other things for now but I will file PRs next time I come across something. In the past I have emailed the port maintainer and the answer is usually "yeah I know". After a few of those I thought filing PRs is a waste of time considering the maintainer doesn't seem to care. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Yeah, I've been trying to prioritize some -exps that are blocking other people right now. I know there's many more :-) mcl ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Which reminds me about this: ports/164638 I've kind of taken my eye of progress on that, being distracted by other things. Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.

Fair enough.

These are bugs. Please report them via PRs.

Those are also bugs. Please send PRs for those, as well. I am particularly
concerned about amd64 in this regard (although I am actually only myself
doing the package runs for sparc64 and powerpc). We continually try to
adjust the metadata for ports to indicate where they will and will not
run, based on the output of pointyhat runs. (OTOH pointyhat runs the
src tree from "the oldest supported minor release on each branch", so
this may be a clue .)
For those interested in investigating the metadata as seen by these
package build runs, they are available. For instance:
http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/amd64-9-latest/duds.verbose
Substitute {i386|sparc64|powerpc} for "amd64" and {7|8} for "9" to
look at the others.
Note that I haven't done any ia64 builds in quite a long time. Also
note that for sparc64 and powerpc, I no longer try to do 7. Finally,
we haven't done many runs on 10 yet.
You can see the overall state of the various package builds at:
http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/packagestats.html
whose "skipped" links will take you to the duds.verbose files.
