In possibly unrelated news, there are still about 25 ports which do
not build on GCC 10 but do on GCC 9.  Almost all of them involve
fortran.  Because of this, ports GCC still defaults to 9.  We are
actively working on this:

While I'm sure that that's true, please look at it from my standpoint:
with your phone emails I have to skip page after page to get to the
meat of it.

While this is merely annoying at home, it is extra painful when I am

If the "process" must be followed absolutely, then FreeBSD has already

Ben clearly made a mistake in including you in the review list.  This

I do not consider bugzilla and phabricator to be "shadowy places";
therefore, I reject this argument.

Although I don't have statistics, AFAICT phabricator patches have a
better-than-even chance of going in.

But, in any case, a middle position would have been to commit this to
a vendor branch and publish instructions on how to grab it from there
and enable it.

I understand that -current will have regressions in it.  However, the
pendulum has recently swung in the direction of "free-for-all".  This
slows down (e.g.) my own work on -currernt such as testing arm boards
and trying to fix ports there.  ATM I'm not even *attempting* to do the
latter because I have little faith that any -current I bring in past
the one I'm locked down to (r333619 May 16 UTC 2018) will do anything
but burn my time trying to track down regressions.

tl:dr; I have enough work to do without trying to fix other people's
stuff.  If that's harsh, so be it.

False.  mips and powerpc still build with gcc.

I understand there will be an effort at BSDCan to work out the
remaining wrinkles for the crossbuild toolchain for those archs.
That is what has prevented use from the long-deserved nuking
of gcc4.2.1, not sparc64.

Depends on how many existing users we want to screw over.  Not everyone
replaces all their hardware every 2 years, folks.

The difference is that the Exar chips failed in the marketplace; very
few seem to have made it out into the wild.

Given, 10Mbit-only things are way past their sell-by date.

Even an MFC won't help you, in the medium-term.

e.g. via https://www.freebsd.org/security/#sup, even if the MFC made it
into 11.2, you would still have several months of supporting the old
one.  (The FreeBSD package builds are based on the oldest supported
point release from a branch.)  The current estimate for 11.2 is late June.

It was around 80.  I hit that while trying to run poudriere under
jails using ZFS (on what was then PC-BSD).  Of course I could have
re-done my entire ZFS hierarchy, but I was several years into using
it the exact way I had laid it out by that point.  I simply installed
onto another machine; it was easier.

However, I am kind of shocked that this is not well understood --
especially after I have tried so many times to convince src committers
to update FreeBSD_version in case of src changes that affect (e.g. break)
ports.

These are the kinds of things that ports committers have to use to work
around changes in the src tree.  Skipping OSVERSION updates makes this
work more complicated.

I will personally guarantee, in writing, that current ports do not build

I am 99% certain that ports will not work on either 8.x or 9.x.  Legacy
cruft was removed at the EOL in each of those cases.

Anyone who think that we can support ports on 4.x, 5.x, 6.x, 7.x, 8.x,
9.x, 10.x, 11.x, and -current, all at the same time, needs to seek medical
attention at once.  At the absolute least, that era spans 3 major versions
of make(1) and two completely different package implementations.

But I would rather my permission had been asked ahead of time before

__FreeBSD_version was introduced in the following commit:

where it has been ever since:

Once you have the experiences with the ports tree that I have had, you

it surprising.

The quality of code in the ports collection varies wildly.  Some of it
is truly professional-quality.  Some of it is written by people who
cannot even tie their own shoelaces.  The bulk of it is somewhere in
the middle -- and many of those people simply do not have the patience
or aptitude to understand the multitude of build and configure systems
that are out there.

We simply don't have the several thousand people that it would probably
take to audit the tens of millions of lines of code involved.

I would like to very politely suggest that regression testing such
changes beforehand is a far more effective strategy -- both technical
and inter-personal -- than simply assuming that either port authors
or maintainers will get such issues correct.  They can be subtle, and
there are an indefinite number of them.

2012-03-20 Thread Mark Linimon
The style in bsd.port.mk is not consistent.  (I know, this is shocking
for something that's at r1.706.)

Here's what I recall seeing in it, that I found readable:

.if defined(USE_GL)
. if ${USE_GL:L} == yes
USE_GL= glu
. endif
. for _component in ${USE_GL}
.  if !defined(_GL_${_component}_LIB_DEPENDS)  \
!defined(_GL_${_component}_RUN_DEPENDS)
IGNORE= uses unknown GL component
.  else
LIB_DEPENDS+=   ${_GL_${_component}_LIB_DEPENDS}
RUN_DEPENDS+=   ${_GL_${_component}_RUN_DEPENDS}
.  endif
. endfor
.endif

Various other bits of ports/Mk/*.mk use this same indentation; others
use two spaces, tabs, ...

Unfortunately the counter-argument of let's just go fix it to have one
style is all the patches against bsd.port.mk that would then no longer
apply.

Personally, I'd like to see us pick a recommended way for new code,
whether it's one or two spaces, whatever.  (8 spaces seems too much.)

 maybe, because nearly all PRs (most of them including patches) they

We actually do better these days w/rt userland bugs (and some src

it go.

Me?  I don't use tcsh for root, I use sh.
