 The way bsd.port.mk is written makes it fairly easy to implement

 For example:
 
 (cd to port dir)
 make for-all-depends='make fetch || true'
 make for-all-depends='make checksum'
 make for-all-depends='make clean=packages'
 
 make for-all-depends='make show=PKGNAME MULTI_PACKAGES FLAVORS'
 make for-all-depends='make show=FULLPKGNAME MAINTAINER' | xargs -L2
 make for-all-depends='make print-package-signature'
 
 find `make for-all-depends=pwd` ! -path '*CVS*' -type f -mtime -10
 make for-all-depends='printf %s\t%s\t%s\n $$dir $$multi $$flavor'
 
 Any good?

Not really. You can use the output of the *-dir-depends inside shell scripts
that would do more or less what you propose.

There's not any real need to add more infrastructure, this is what we
usually do.

e.g.,
make all-dir-depends|tsort|while read i; do cd /usr/ports; SUBDIR=$i make 
show=PKGNAME; done

 OK, I wasn't very good on this point - sorry about that. There are old
 versions in TeTeX, and they don't work that well for me personally [in fact,

 examples to compile with what's in TeTeX.]

This is nonsense.  Beamer in teTeX-3 in OpenBSD 3.7 works fine.
It works on simple and not so simple examples for me.

Besides, it works on all examples from
http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/beamer/examples/
except the Chinese text in example4 that expects CJK package which is
apparently not a part of the standard teTeX distribution.
I bet if I download CJK from CTAN that it would work.
But I really have no use for CJK.

Also it's not old at all.
We have beamer-3.01.  The latest is 3.05-beta.
We have pgf version that seems older (0.65) than the new one (0.95).
Doesn't affect me frankly.  Most of the people use EPS, PNG, or JPG
files anyway.
xcolor hasn't been changed in more than a year.  It's still at version
2.0 that is in our teTeX distribution.

 teTeX is also missing the fairly vital documentation and examples
 without which one is pretty much stuck.

Is it so difficult to visit CTAN for docs and other stuff?
http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/beamer.html

 The ports I've posted are up to date. There are no incompatibilities
 since the ports install in texmf-local, thus preserving whatever was
 in textmf-dist.

I believe this is useful to you personally if you prefer to have the
latest and greatest features.  I personally, and most of other people
can live with the standard teTeX distribution.
It's like OpenBSD.  It doesn't have all the fancy stuff some other OSs
have, yet I still use it. :-)

 This does perhaps raise a question of what we should do when there are
 semi-duplicates with teTeX... Especially with something like beamer has a
 much quicker release schedule than the somewhat monolithic teTeX.

We shouldn't do anything.
Keep teTeX as it is.  Six months is not a long wait for the new package
release.  If you really need the latest and greatest stuff, your
personalized packages, fonts, and what not, drop it in $HOME/texmf tree
and enjoy.
At one point beamer development will slow down (sooner than later) and
your port would be deleted from the ports tree.  I think it should
remain your personal port.

Unless of course you persuade us with a precise list of simple examples
that do not work in the current teTeX setup, rather than just a vague
claim that it didn't work for you.  Because it works for me.

these tests are still doing the same, but i got some inspiration from other
ports to fix other things
- added MODULES=gcc3 (octave only compiles with gcc3) - does anyone want
  to test such architectures?
- fixed the shared library names, get rid of symlinks there
- used GNU_ARCH within packing list

 Dear Portmaintainer,
 
 nmap crashs (core dump) on AMD64.
 
 I used nmap this way:
 nmap -sV -P0 -oN report.txt 194.55.223.0

was this command run as a regular user or as root? (nmap acts
differently depending on priv)

can you also give me the output with --debug?

 I did not compiled it with debugging-informations but here is the GDB-Output:

none of that really helped...

 OpenBSD 3.8 (installed using a snapshot, then I upgraded using the SRC
 from the CVS (-rOPENBSD_3_8)).
 It's an dual Opteron (64Bit-Mode) with bsd.mp.

can you try with just a snapshot? (not compiled by you) did it also
coredump with bsd (not bsd.mp)? i don't have any mp machines, so i can't
tell what happens.

did you use the nmap snapshot pre-compiled package, port or compiled
yourself from source?

 Maybe I did something wrong (?) but I guess it's a bug.
 Btw: Is it planed to adapt the new nmap-Version to 3.8?

you mean 3.93? it was just updated.

Appears it was fixed in 3.93, only reproducible with the old version.

Yeah, I have a similar script (even posted it here a while ago).
The nice thing about having the target(s) is that you get the
dependent environment (PKGPATH, SUBPACKAGE, and FLAVOR) already set
up for you.  Pulling that from the make side into the shell script
isn't quite as fast.  Besides, I didn't think you liked shell
wrappers that much.  So sometimes its Ok to treat the ports
infrastructure like a black box?  :-P

[NEW]: new port submission for syspatch

2005-09-27 Thread Lemaire, Olivier
Greetings,

I've made available a port of the syspatch utility.

SPMS/syspatch is 'yet another way to binary patch OpenBSD
boxes'. Some more infos on syspatch/SPMS may be found
There: http://sf.net/projects/syspatch . The current release
is syspatch-0.5.

The port for syspatch-0.5 may be found there:
. CVS module 'ports' from
http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=146473
. Else HTTP tarball
http://metawire.org/~olem/syspatch/download/syspatch-port.tgz

Port has be tested ok on 3.8/i386 but should be ok for other
Arch as no arch-dependend things in it.

I believe using -fno-stack-protector is correct in this case.

than being able to say just strings).
