similar to: portupgrade and PHP

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?

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: **

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 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

does anybody have the same problem as I have : (running CURRENT, but the problem occurs on STABLE too) latest portupgrade, ports cvsuped today. fully reproductible with any package... am i missing something ? i hope yes... portinstall -PP teTeX ---> Checking the availability of the latest package of 'print/teTeX' ---> Fetching the package(s) for 'teTeX-2.0.2_2'

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

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

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

Hi all, I just built a new Compuke proliant 5000 using the 4.8 CD and I would like to cvsup and build a 4.8 STABLE system but I have been loosely following the list for a couple weeks and noticing a LOT of problems lately... Is everything settling down now? Rick P.S. If anyone has any tricks for these Compuke proliant 5000 machines please contact me : )

Dear colleagues, in the process of upgrading my home router I'm trying to utilise Intel D2500CC mini-ITX motherboard[1]. Both stable/9 and head suffer from no scrolling issue: from the beginning of booting the kernel, all output overrides the last line on the screen, while others keep the loader phase. Provided the board has multiple serial ports and the final target (headless

Colleagues, one of my servers had to be rebooted uncleanly and then I have backgrounded fsck locked for more than an our in snaplk: 742 root 1 -4 4 1320K 688K snaplk 0:02 0.00% fsck_ufs File system in question is 200G gmirror on SATA. Usually making a snapshot (e.g., for making dumps) consumes 3-4 minutes for that fs, so it seems to me that filesystem is in a deadlock. Any

Dear colleagues, experimenting with new amd64-based router we found strange re(4) behaviour when working in autoselect media mode: whenever promisc mode turned on, renegotiating occurs, leading to 3 to 45 (depending on STP settings on the switch) network unavailability. Moreover, some other re(4) setting changes seem to disturb link state unneededly (such as ifconfig re0 -vlanhwtag) The most

I am cleaning up my 4-STABLE system. After a fresh installworld, I am looking at files that did not get touched by the install. Is it safe to remove all such files? In particular, I am looking at /usr/libexec/lib-elf.so.1, which has the schg flag set. I am afraid to remove this for fear of making my system unbootable. Could somebody please reassure me that it is ok to noschg and remove this old

Hi all, I got a machine with 8GB of RAM and plenty of disk space. I need gvinum to manage big number of file systems but PAE enabled kernel does not compile modules. I couldn't figure out how to get vinum statically compiled in the kernel if that is the way to go. I am running 6-STABLE. Please advise on how to get PAE kernel and gvinum working together! TIA, Stoyan

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/.
