pfsync between 8.4 and 9.2
I just started rolling out 9.2 to all our production machnes, which are currently on 8.4. We have tested it pretty throughly internally and are very happy with it, but as part of the deployment have hit a problem. We have a pair of boxes running as a firewall using carp and pfsync. One of the - the 'passive' one - has been upgraded to 9.2, and all works fine as far as carp si concerned,

Filtering Mails - how?
Hello, I've got some problems about understanding, how to filter my incoming mails. I am using dovecot 1.0.beta3 (ubuntu server) and want to implement a filter, where I can filter all my incoming messages (like the ones from the dovecot ml) to special folders within the mailbox of each user (for each user a special set of filters). Is there a chance to do this in dovecot or have I to use

A Short Policy Proposal Regarding Host Compilers
I've heard just about zero opposition to this, so I've put a code review together here: https://reviews.llvm.org/D47073 With the intent of either implementing this policy change, or encouraging further discussion/bikeshed. Thanks all! -Erich -----Original Message----- From: Brooks Davis [mailto:brooks at freebsd.org] Sent: Sunday, May 13, 2018 10:34 AM To: Keane, Erich <erich.keane

A Short Policy Proposal Regarding Host Compilers
I’d like us to move forward with something along the lines Erich proposed back in May, ideally early enough in the LLVM 8 release process that people testing the release will be able to provide feedback. Are there any remaining concerns? > On May 23, 2018, at 6:21 AM, Keane, Erich via llvm-dev <llvm-dev at lists.llvm.org> wrote: > > Hi all- > I just wanted to bump this again,

7.0 issues fixed? upgrade timing?
1. I have a realtek network card and am using a cable modem router. Does anyone know if fixes for problems with these (see below) have been backported from HEAD to RELENG_7? 2. Is this a good time to upgrade to RELENG_7? 3. I read a post last week that advised that 7.1 is a long way off. Appreciate any advice on use of ULE 3.0 and ZFS prior to 7.1 and a comment on what is holding up 7.1. Thanks

realpath(3) et al
First, I hope that this message is not considered flame bait. As someone who has used FreeBSD for for 5+ years now, I have a genuine interest in the integrity of our source code. Second, I hope that this message is not taken as any form of insult or finger pointing. Software without bugs does not exist, and I think we all know that. Acknowledging that point and working to mitigate the risks

A Short Policy Proposal Regarding Host Compilers
Hi All- As we all know, the C++14 discussion is flaring up again. Chandler brought up that he would like a concrete plan to switch. In my opinion, this is insufficient, as it will result in us simply having this discussion AGAIN next release. Instead, I would prefer us to have a concrete Policy on our host compilers. That way, changes like this are unsurprising to our users, and advance our

Installing FreeBSD 9.1 amd64 on IBM x3550 M3
Hello, I'm trying to install FreeBSD 9.1 amd64 on an IBM x3550 M3 server. Installation went smoothly, RAID controller and network cards were successfully recognised. But, after the installation, the server fails to boot from disk. There were some posts, about two years ago, in this list implying that the problem lies in UEFI but I couldn't find any clear solution. Any suggestions would

FreeBSD wiki offline for a bit
Hey, Due to a security issue in the moinmoin wiki software, the FreeBSD wiki will be offline for a bit. I do not yet know if the issue actually has been exploited in the FreeBSD wiki (haven't had the time yet to examine it), but I took the wiki down just in case. Note that even if the software was compromised, it was considered untrusted from the start and as such heavily sandboxed

FreeBSD-9.1 would not boot on pentium3 laptop
Hello! I have an old Dell Latitude C800 laptop (with Pentium3 CPU in it). FreeBSD 6.3-STABLE was running fine on it, but I decided to update the machine to 9.1-STABLE. Well, neither my own custom kernel, nor even the official 9.1-RELEASE CD1 would boot... In both cases the boot process runs up to detecting uhub0, then either hangs forever or shuts off after a short while. Again, I thought I

portupgrade(1) | portmaster(8) -- which is more effective for large upgrade?
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

Process hanging on 6.0-STABLE
Hi, I work for a small company that makes radar systems for research organisations and we use FreeBSD on the PCs for data acquisition and processing. We have recently shifted to FreeBSD6/amd64 and one machine in particular is exhibiting a strange problem. The acquisition process is a Tcl interpreter with a largish chunk of C code which talks to the hardware (via RS485 and a custom PCI card).
