Hi all, Having a bit of a problem with portupgrade on a -STABLE machine: [root@erwin]/root: portupgrade -aRn ---> Session started at: Tue, 27 May 2003 22:54:00 +1000 closed stream ---> Session ended at: Tue, 27 May 2003 22:54:01 +1000 (consumed 00:00:01) [root@erwin]/root: pkgdb -F does the same thing. Any clues? cheers, Rob [root@erwi...

Hello, When I run portupgrade -ra and PHP needs upgrading I am faced with having to select all the options I want PHP compiled with (again). I hate this. How can I continually compile PHP with the same options as the last time? Thanks! Rick

I am trying to do an install of portupgrade. As root, I go to /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade and run make install distclean The system seems to obtain the pkgtools and some upgrades to it, but is unable to obtain the required bdb1-0.1.8.tar.gz. I have also looked at the collection at the freebsd site and tried the ftp site myself (...

hi, i''ve run into somewhat of a snag with my puppet instances: when i try to have puppet install a port via portupgrade, it seems to step up each version in ports to the latest, if there are multiple versions. i''ve run into this with two ports so far: vim and postfix. my package line is: package { postfix: ensure => latest } i am however able to specify the version i''d like via: package {...

The included patch is what I''ve been able to throw together in a few hours after studying the pkgtools code. All I''m using the library for at the moment is to resolve the proper base location of the ports tree, but at least by invoking make directly instead of through portupgrade it works *a lot* better. Is there a proper way to include/require a third party ruby library? The way it is now, if ports.rb was invoked, puppetd will blow up. Is there some check somewhere to determine if portupgrade is installed? -- Russell A. Jackson <raj@csub.edu> Network Analyst Ca...

Dear Samba friends, Last weekend I decided to upgrade the samba server. We were running Samba 3.3 something and FreeBSD portupgrade was complaining that this version should be removed and assumingly replaced by the newest version. I removed the package via portupgrade and installed the 3.5.6 version. The upgrade went quite smoothly in general, but I encountered some difficulties with the printer drivers. Before the upgrade we...

...ree, which is why I've waited so long. Try as I might, I've had great difficulty finding something that will _only_ upgrade what I already have installed, _and_ respect the "options" used during the original make && make install, or those options expressed in make.conf. As portupgrade(1) && portmaster(8) appear to be the most used in this scenario, I'm soliciting opinions on which of these works best, or if there is something else to better manage this situation. Is there such a thing as a FreeBSD upgrade "easy button"? Thank you for all your consideration...

...It may sound a silly question. I have curl installed: # pkg_info |grep curl curl-7.24.0_3 Non-interactive tool to get files from FTP, GOPHER, HTTP(S) Today portsnap updated the ftp/curl port, and patch-CVE-2013-2174 appeared in files/, but the port version remained such that portaudit, and portupgrade still complain about curl's version. What is the recommended way to upgrade the package? # portupgrade curl-7.24.0_3 ---> Upgrading 'curl-7.24.0_3' to 'curl-7.24.0_4' (ftp/curl) ---> Building '/usr/ports/ftp/curl' ===> Cleaning for curl-7.24.0_4 ===> cu...

...e list, but my questions are about best practices in maintaining production servers (so I believe I can justify a post in -stable, short of a -release list :) I maintain a modest installation of 6 FreeBSD servers. They're CVSUP'd to RELENG_4_8 (I make buildworld on each individually) and I portupgrade ports as necessary. In an attempt to mature and harden this installation, I'm wondering what is the best approach for keeping production servers patched and with the latest ports. I know that compiling everything on each box is poor security practice and a unnecessary drain on resources. But I&...

I have: 1. updated my CVS ports tree 2. rebuilt fontconfig, freetype, expat and Xft using portupgrade (portupgrade -frR ) 3. rebuilt my all (portupgrade -afr) and fc-cache still chokes. XFree86-clients, XFree86-fontScalable and several other ports also fail to build with the same error. There is only one copy of libfontconfig.so.1 in ldconfig -r. I'm sure that there is something really obvi...

I am running 4.8-STABLE. I recently did a cvsup (repeatedly, most recently today). Ever since, portupgrade dies with the following messages: zircon# portupgrade -r pkgconfig /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/pkgdb.rb:310:in `deorigin': failed to convert nil into String (PkgDB::DBError) from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/pkgdb.rb:903:in `tsort_build' from /usr/local/lib/ruby...

...kg_add. So, as you can see, it really doesn''t matter which one you use. The reason using ports directly is desirable is that the official pre-built packages availabe on the project servers and mirrors lag behind CVS by a wide margin. Now the reason why I bring this up is because of how portupgrade is being executed in the ports provider: -p -N -P -M BATCH=yes The -p is unnecessary and only wastes time generating the package tarball when the port is installed just fine without it. It also will fill up the /usr partition as it populates /usr/ports/packages with every version of the port...

Dear FreeBSD users and system administrators, While the FreeBSD Security Team has traditionally been very good at investigating and responding to security issues in FreeBSD, this only solves half of the security problem: Unless users and administrators of FreeBSD systems apply the security patches provided, the advisories issued accomplish little beyond alerting potential attackers to the

This can be done with: # portupgrade -faP etc... Why!!! Do you know how much time I have to spend with my PC to reinstall all of this programs from ports? Only openoffice takes one day!

Hi, I would like to follow 4-stable on my FreeBSD box, and i can't fetch binaries from /stand/sysinstall. Can anyone help me? Here is how i did: 1) I installed 4.8-RELEASE from CD, 2) I used cvsup to upgrade. For this i used the stable-supfile as shown in the Handbook. => My OS version as shown by 'uname -a' and '/stand/sysinstall' is "4.8-STABLE". It

.... *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/mail/dovecot. So I went to /usr/ports/mail/dovecot and edited the Makefile to change the GID into: DOVECOT_UID?= 1003 DOVECOT_GID?= 1003 SCRIPT_ENV+= DOVECOT_UID=${DOVECOT_UID} \ DOVECOT_GID=${DOVECOT_GID} I saved the makefile and ran portupgrade again but I got stopped by exactly the same error. I'd appreciate suggestions how to resolve this. Thank you! -- Zbigniew Szalbot
