Hello, I've been noticing some strange behavior with the ports lately. Indeed, following the end-of-life of misc/getopt, I uninstalled it manually via a make deinstall clean and then installed its suggested replacement, devel/util-linux. Just to be sure, I recompiled/installed the port that...
Greetings all.

I have been running FreeBSD 14-Current for about a month now and have been enjoying it besides the odd crashes here and there. It is not as many crashes as OpenBSD 7.2-Current was giving me however. I am stuck with 14-Current for now because on my Intel 2.5GB Lan and RX 6600 GPU not being...

Hi,
I'm wading through the molasses that is a FreeBSD upgrade.
I want to use packages where available, however where pkg finds packages, portmaster does not:

I compile all of my own ports into packages and keep the distfiles so I can rebuild it all offline if need be.
I recently switched over to the 2020Q4 ports tree. Normally, my process is svn update (in /usr/ports), portmaster -a -B -D -G -y --no-confirm -g. This seems to work pretty well when...
As an example, I am building vlc with x264 and x265 support. I need to answer questions for all of its dependencies which is quite cumbersome. I have tried using portmaster and that appears to help with the configuration, but I'd still like to be able to do it in a non-interactive way.

Dear forum,
first if all I hope that I'm posting in the correct forum. Please correct me if it's wrong.
I noticed that there is a lot of traffic while upgrading ports with portmaster. I do not mean the actual download of source code, rather during the building process.
Also, there is almost no...
All,
Over the past few years have spent a significant amount of time (seemingly endless) on port/package maintenance tasks. It seems that we should be able to:
100%: Use pkg for any/all installs and maintenance tasks (if no custom config options are required) -or-
100%: Use ports for any/all...
