similar to: portupgrade -PP needs glasses ?

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@erwin]/root: uname -a FreeBSD erwin.number6

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

I''d like to clarify some points about the ports/package system in FreeBSD. I apoligize ahead of time if this is Both packages and ports use the pkgdb system. This isn''t some lame cludge; it''s by design, and the reason is really quite simple. Packages are built from the ports collection. The only real difference between them is the mode of delivery. When you run

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

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 just drudged through a bit of the archives and see a FreeBSD bits floating in there that are of some value, but aren''t on the wiki. I posted a few bits on the wiki regarding some FreeBSD cobbling that I''ve done recently and hope that folk find it of use (and start posting their useful bits there as well). http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/PuppetFreeBSD The

Howdy, Found out about this project while looking for via ONLamp''s FreeBSD build system article. After finding cfengine a tad arcane, this project seems like a good fit for my setup. I''m still at the tinkering phase, but I envision this thing bootstrapping and maintaining several FreeBSD installs which have different CPU''s and packages. The Good News:

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

Hi, I am running an environment with 15 FreeBSD servers on which I want to maintain ports, rc.conf settings, and assorted configuration in /usr/local/etc/. Looked around the existing Puppet docs, I got a puppetmaster and a test client to work and install a package as specified in the site manifest. This is very basic but awesome! I want to create a puppet FreeBSD HowTo that addresses a

Greetings, I haven't upgraded my tree(s) for awhile. My last attempt to rebuild after an updating src && ports, resulted in nearly installing the entire ports tree, 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

Hello! Yesterday portaudit notified me about squid's vulnerability, but today it didn't (despite I haven't upgraded squid). This has attracted my attention, so I've compared yesterday's and today's auditfile.tbz: -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 29875 Sep 6 15:40 auditfile.tbz vs. -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 5685 Sep 7 10:11 auditfile.tbz I don't see commits to

Hi all, After upgrading my fontconfig to 2.2.0, fc-cache -vf gives me an error: /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/X11R6/lib/libfontconfig.so.1: Undefined symbol "FT_Get_BDF_Property" when it tries to build the cache for non bitmapped fonts. I have: 1. updated my CVS ports tree 2. rebuilt fontconfig, freetype, expat and Xft using portupgrade (portupgrade -frR ) 3. rebuilt my all

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

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?

Dear members, 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

Hi all, I''m trying to setup a puppet installation on FreeBSD. So far I have only one puppetmaster and one puppetclient, both with 0.24.4 from FreeBSD ports. On the master I''ve defined a couple of classes including this: class apache22 { package { apache22: ensure => installed, source => "http://x.x.x.x/packages/apache-2.2.9_5.tbz", provider =>

my ports database seems to have become broken. I'm running -stable, but haven't rebuilt the system in a year or so (I know, security vulerabilities, but the box has been shelved in this time). anyhow, at this point, I can't do even a make clean in ports, or build portupgrade. I fetched portupgrade with pkg_add hoping that running pkgdb -F would sort things out, but it errors with: **
