ports

Just a question, in case anyone has an answer: why does the Firefox port crash every time I update it? Example from today's update, from /var/log/messages: Feb 9 21:31:09 kg-core1 pkg: firefox-44.0,1 deinstalled Feb 9 21:31:17 kg-core1 pkg-static: firefox-44.0.1,1 installed Feb 9 21:32:11...

I installed an official snapshot of FreeBSD 10.2-STABLE onto a 4 GB SD card and put it into a Raspberry Pi (original). So it is running: root@rpi-b# uname -a FreeBSD rpi-b 10.2-STABLE FreeBSD 10.2-STABLE #0 r293242: Thu Jan 7 00:05:43 UTC 2016...

On one machine I have switched from ports to packages because of slow hardware specs (very long port build times) and have observed that pkg installs/upgrade packages to new versions that are vulnerable resulting in couple of vulnerable packages. For example I now see pkg audit -F vulnxml file...

Hi guys, I've tried to install sysutils/munin-node from ports but it failed at user creation stating User munin nonexistant. Create the user and retry. From it's makefile I learned that it cheks if the user exists with pw user show munin, with expected result pw: no such user `munin'. But when I...

I have tried ports-mgmt/poudriere because some unexpected issue related to python and curses has crept into my ports system after using ports-mgmt/portmaster quite a long time without having it noted early. I hope I have strictly followed /usr/ports/UPDATING all the time :D. Now I have a few...

Hi folks. I can't seem to get www/nginx installed with Passenger on 10.1. RVM is installed. $ rvm gemset list gemsets for ruby-2.2.3 (found in /home/rich/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.3) => (default) global $ rvm list rvm rubies =* ruby-2.2.3 [ x86_64 ] # => - current # =* - current &&...

I'm sometimes finding that I want to rebuild a port to enable a single option, like DEBUG, for example. Otherwise I generally use standard packages for everything else. For some ports with a lot of dependencies, I want to avoid having to build all those dependencies from source. The last time I...

I need to be able to export files from Emacs's org-mode to TeX (which works), and then process those into other formats like PDF. I've tried various things, and it seems like something's always missing. First I was missing 'tex', so I installed print/tex-basic-engines. Then it complained of...

Hi, I'd like to know if you have a good way of keeping a system completely up to date in a completely automated way. If my understanding is correct, I can add 42 8 * * * freebsd-update cron in root's crontab to have the base system (I guess that means the kernel and the programs in /bin)...

I've just updated my ports collection and noticed that there is a new Firefox version. I tried to build it on FreeBSD 10.2 (amd64) but got the following error. I'm not a C/C++ developer so have no clue. Has anybody else had any luck building the latest Firefox in ports? gmake[7]: Leaving...

Hi! I open this thread to talk about which BSD flavour has the most updated ports/packages. For example, sometimes I develop some Java app with NetBeans IDE on Linux, and I see in freshports.org the last version ported to FreeBSD is the 8.0.2 version. Now where is a "freshports.org" for OpenBSD...

I've done a fresh installation of FreeBSD 10.2 on a new RAIDZ system. I started following the instructions for installing Apache, etc. found at http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-install-apache-mysql-php-stack-on-freebsd-unix-server/ The first step failed because portsnap extract is required...
