ports

My current issue revolves around apache24 and gitea and a few other ports requiring postgresql12-client as a connector, which blocks the installation of postgresql14-client needed by postgresql14-server to play around with some of the newer features in my home lab, and I'd be curious about a...

poudriere ports -c and port updates were working flawless for many years until git happened. I assume many migration parts are still in progress. Unfortunately cannot make it work: #poudriere ports -c -m git -U https://git.freebsd.org/ports.git [00:00:00] Creating default fs at...

Greetings everyone and sorry for bothering the community, but I got terribly messed up and I think I need your help very much. I have just installed FreeBSD for the first time willing to make it my default OS for music production and other working purposes, but unfortunately got confused with...

I have built xorg from ports and it required python3.7 and in the process installed py37-setuptools (which isn't even a specific official port, there is only py-setuptools). Now whenever I try to build something that requires python3.8 and py38-setuptools (default build from py-setuptools port)...

Hello everyone, I'm looking to improve the manageability, IMO, of ports. However, I'm in need of advises to overcome some challenges I'm encountering. This tool gives a very nice tree view. Since you could have different (poudriere) 'sets' and make.conf file(s), this manual usage becomes...

Hello, I made FreeBSD packages Archive, some of those packages are officialy deleted (for example openjfx8-devel), Like VirtualBox-OSE 5.2.44_3, OpenJFX8-Devel, python27, chromium, minecraft-client and other old/deleted packages. If you want to install those packages, link is here...

Hi gang! Disclaimer: I am honestly a little excited about recent developments so expect to find some (small) opinionated parts in this guide. Nothing excessive mind you, but I can sometimes get a little carried away and despite some believes I never really plan guides like this. Editorial In...

Hello, I have been trying to get OpenCL working and found out I needed graphics/drm-fbsd12.0-kmod in order to get OpenCL recognize my GPU. The problem is, that module only works if it's built from ports and crashes when it's installed from pkg. The other issue is for number of reasons I can't...

Reading the ports manpage, I am having difficulties to find out how I can do an unattended scripted install. For example, when I do make extract, I get a build options dialog, and after exiting the dialog, the port was apparently built. What I expected, however, was make just extracting the...

Hello everyone, With the upcoming transition from Subversion to Git, I've been plugging away at building "gitup", a replacement for net/svnup and I'm happy to report that I've got a working "git clone" prototype. Looking back at when I was writing net/svnup, one of the things I wished I had...

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. This...

Hi FreeBSD pro! Recently updated, anyone have any issues with? I mean in both cases: totally fresh install and upgrade from previous 2.0/2.1. July 7th, 2020 : HAProxy 2.2.0 is ready

I'm looking to use all cores when compiling ports. I notice some ports build with 8 jobs, which is ideal since I have 8 cores. Some seem to build only with one (gcc9). This is with default settings, not trying to override anything (yet). Does MAKE_JOBS_NUMBER default to the number of codes? Or...

Greetings to everyone. I am running FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p8 on AMD64 Arch and UFS2 filesystem. And I wanted to use wine, but it seemed slower than before, maybe ten minutes to make a window appears as if something was wrong. So I uninstalled wine and tried to build it from...

I know this has probably been asked and answered a million times and it's in the handbook, too, but It's 2020, and I've been running FreeBSD on and off for a decade or so. I've run it at home as a server for most of that time and so I have the ability to configure stuff and keep it running. Now...

Hi. if I add the -P option to portmaster, and postmaster decides to re-install pkg, I get the following: Installed packages to be REMOVED: pkg: 1.13.2 Number of packages to be removed: 1 The operation will free 13 MiB. [1/1] Deinstalling pkg-1.13.2... You may need to manually remove...

I have a server running 11.3-p7 that has been upgraded over time since about 2009. When I originally built it, I chose not to use packages and I have been regretting that decision for years due to how much time it takes to handle updates. As I did not initially intend for it to be a server, I...
