    Solved Python port doesn't produce executable binary

    Hi. I am creating a port that's written in python. IIRC, i was able to run it before but i don't remember how i was able to run the executable binary. Now, it doesn't even seem to create a executable binary. There is __init__.py in source code root but i don't think i should move this as a...

    Ports Dependency management

    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...

    Solved Poudriere - best way to build old versions of some packages but not all?

    Hi, I need to build an older version of port A. Let's say pkg is v2 and I need v1. So I noted down the ports tree commit for that v1, called c1, checked it out and built with poudriere. Works fine. Now I need to build port B. Problem: port B at commit c1 is borked. It is fixed in commit c3...

    Is it possible to change the ports config dialog colours?

    Howdy, I used to have a custom .dlalogrc that changed the ports config dialog colours, but I get the feeling that /usr/bin/dialog isn't used any more by ports (maybe?). The man page for ports-mgmt/portconfig tells me I can use NO_COLOR=1 which is an improvement (for me), but is there a way to...

    feature request for ports/fbsd

    it would be cool if ports supported compiling a port to a specific directory (ie ~/user or ~/fort) and allowed each binary to be statically compiled, not as an option to each port maybe, but maybe as a wrapper ie cd /usr/ports/nntp/pan fortsnap /home/extra-ceo/fort/ make -j which should take...

    when does make config-recursive decide what to include?

    Hi, when I run make config-recursive on a port such as security/strongswan, do ports not longer relevant due to an earlier choice get prompted for? ie. is the list of ports requiring configuration decided when the make command is run, or is it dynamically built as you select and deselect port...

    Need a second opinion on possible pkg(8) bug?

    Hi, I'm looking for a second opinion on whether I've run into a bug in pkg regarding local repositories. I currently build a small handful of packages locally from ports and also manually install them, but I wanted to try using a local pkg repository to handle that instead. On one of my...

    How to maintain a port that was removed already?

    Hello everyone! I'm using FreeBSD for a few years already, but I've never maintained any port, so the question is probably a little dummy. I want to become a maintainer of lang/swift, since I need it time by time and I'm an experienced Swift developer, so I at least know what is this and how...

    terminology question

    I'm working on making a program to deal with ports (as a layer on top of ports-mgmt/synth to simplify my use of it). In the course of doing so, while creating class names, method names, etc., I've found that I don't really have satisfying and/or clear terminology for various concepts, so I'm...
