I basically wanted to install https://www.freshports.org/devel/flang/ but it appears to be unavailable although it appeared once via pkg search flang? Any suggestions (other than installing from ports (I currently am only using binary packages on this system)) would be welcome. ps@myhostname...

I was getting a bunch of security check errors in my daily output. Fixed them all save one. I installed www/phpbb3 via pkg install phpbb3 and all when swimmingly. After installations I changed the directory name because I kept forgetting to capitalize the B's. Well, now I have about 3000...

Are pkg and portmaster equivalent? Is it better to use pkg or portmaster? To me they should be equivalent, and both should maintain the same version of software installed on the system, however I noticed inconsistencies. I have been playing around with a test system (FreeBSD 11) and I've...

Hello folks, I build net-mgmt/unifi5 from time to time. Unifi is not available as a pkg but most all of the dependancies are. in the past I used to just use ports-mgmt/portmaster like this (if my notes can be trusted: portmaster --update-if-newer --packages-build /usr/ports/net-mgmt/unifi5/...

I'm trying to install a bunch of (userland) stuff using Poudriere, and I'm coming across version conflicts... For instance, I'm trying to install a media server that requires MySQL 5.6, but I want to run MySQL 5.7 for my own purposes. When I use pkg install mediaserver, it says there's a...

I originally installed ports-mgmt/pkg by doing /usr/sbin/pkg bootstrap and now I'm not sure how to upgrade it. I'm using ports-mgmt/synth to maintain my ports, but the port does not exist in my custom repo. I do not want to install it from the FreeBSD repo, as the I will run into dependency...

The problem: I installed PowerDNS and it installed PostgreSQL 9.something client. It was successful and everything worked. (I don't actually need PostgreSQL with PowerDNS because I'm using bind zone files to configure my domains.) Then, I installed PostgreSQL 10. PostgreSQL 10 worked, but it...

Hi, Couple of questions about portmaster. Given that the documentation and some tools related to the "ports" system regard programs installed from binary package repository as "ports", does that mean: 1. We can use tools like portmaster to manage everything, regardless of the way it was...

To any user of -RELEASE who has locked www/firefox in the past: in your experience, what types of dependency issue arose as the weeks or months passed? Re https://pastebin.com/biRRGHCD line 140 I imagine that it's prudent to also lock www/flashplayer. (-CURRENT in that paste, but the essence...

Hi, Today I made an upgrade of new packages, of which there were many (like all the stuff I use), but the custom configuration appears to be overwritten. Specifically, I had to manually rewrite the X display manager resources and scripts, and my GWorkspace/WindowMaker integration started to...

Hi, from the question you can guess I'm relatively new to FreeBSD.... What I wanna do is to build a package (web application from a git repository) and install it with pkg on a target system. So by reading a lot (handbook, porters handbook, web) my understanding is that I would place my...

I pkg installed R and the command is available from the command line, but I can't figure out how to start the GUI. I've done my research and there just isn't much out there about R on FreeBSD. Is the GUI there? I am using FreeBSD 11.1 and R-3.4.0_2 and KDE 4. I sorta gave up yesterday and...

Hi gang! Introduction (editorial section) Every once in a while we see new(er) users who get utterly confused with the whole ports collection and the package management system and as a result they're often having a hard time trying to understand how this whole thing actually works. Now, I...

Hi, I'm after a move and tried to upgrade FreeBSD binaries and some ports. But freebsd-version is 11.1-RELEASE and binaries updated while ports are much newer. I have got 65 lines from pkg version -l '<', for example perl5-5.24.1_1. And here is my proble, I cannot compile...

Hello, I am coming from Arch Linux and I am trying to find the correct pkg flag to replicate the pacman -S --asdeps package_name behavior. Context on what this command is and what am I trying to achieve from the pacman wiki: Translating from Arch Linux to FreeBSD: opphan packages in Arch are...

Hi gang! Editorial: I've been using ports-mgmt/portmaster for a long time already and I figured it could use a little bit of extra love and attention ;) Also because there is a lot which Portmaster can do, so I'm hoping that briefly showcasing some of those features might be helpful for some...
