synth

Anyone know how to fix this issue when building ports-mgmt/synth ? It looks like this issue first appeared in July during testing, but it was released on to the ports system anyways. https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=279870...

Hello. I'm looking for instructions analog of switching python to default 3.11 version with synth tool: In /usr/ports/UPDATING there are commands for portmaster: For portmaster users: # sh # portmaster -o lang/python311 python39 # REINSTALL="$(pkg info -oq '*py39*')" # pkg delete -f...

Admittedly, I was using Synth a bit incorrectly and may have gotten my system into a bit of limbo. That said, Synth is *very* opinionated and not inuitive on the whole. It does seem to work very well, but there are some quirks to say the least. For instance, I have a bunch of packages failing...

Please consult Howto build ports with ports-mgmt/poudriere for a set of historically evolved issues concerning the ports tree. Please consult the well-known Recursive Make Considered Harmful for reasons why such tools do not handle the build process theoretically sound -- they do not use make...

Hello, In hope that synth is a better ports building tool than portupgrade I have installed it and started experimenting. Must say that first impressions have been somewhat disappointing. As an example, I tried to upgrade libreoffice with command synth install editors/libreoffice. The long run...

I am in the same boat as this guy, except I have more than three packages installed and I would really like to get this working if I can. Here is the error I got after upgrading the base system and then using synth to rebuild and reinstall all packages: synth upgrade-system gives Builder mounts...

Hello all! I've just installed FreeBSD 11.2-PRERELEASE, and I'm learning to use synth... So, after a portsnap fetch update, I am trying to build firefox 60.0.1 with sndio. Then I would do a simple "make config", enable sndio option and disable alsa, jack and pulseaudio. And, indeed, if I "make...

I have problems running synth status for the first time: $ sudo synth status sysutils/sl Builder mounts detected; attempting to remove them automatically ... Dismounting successful! Regenerating flavor index: this may take a while ... Scanning entire ports tree. progress: 5.49% culprit...

It appears devel/py27-setuptools was moved to devel/py-setuptools this morning. Since I'm not using binary packages (using Synth), this will not be automatically fixed for me - so I issued the command : sudo pkg set -o devel/py27-setuptools:devel/py-setuptools That went fine, but synth is still...

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...

I use synth exclusively on my system. It works perfectly, with one exception. Some applications such as "dovecot" will fail after being updated if they are not restarted. How can I get synth to restart this application, in this example "dovecot" after it is rebuilt?

Hi. I am trying to get rid print/cups but I am experiencing problems with print/ghostscript9-agpl-base while using ports-mgmt/synth, when OPTIONS_UNSET = CUPS. In any of those scenarios print/ghostscript9-agpl-base build without problems but: DEFAULT options and no CUPS in OPTIONS_UNSET =...

I'm new to ports-mgmt/synth (just installed) and previously have been using ports-mgmt/portmaster for years. My question is - when I run synth status, it shows : Querying system about current package installations. Stand by, comparing installed packages against the ports tree. These are the...

Hi everyone, After some of the system upgrades (I'm using synth) SMB gfvs functionality in x11-fm/pcmanfm stopped working. At the closer look I've noticed that devel/gvfs still depends on (and installs) net/samba-libsmbclient which the ports system now says is obsoleted: Port...

Hello! I've always found mixing packages and ports to be the biggest pain point in using FreeBSD. Right now I only have two things I build from ports: audio/musicpd in order to avoid a ton a X-stuff I don't want and sysutils/bareos-server in order to build againt postgresql96 instead of 93...

Hi all, I'd like to follow the quarterly package repository (because I value stability and reliability over new features), but I need to have a few packages compiled with custom options, and this results in a problem: Ports does not have a quarterly release, only a "rolling release" of sorts...

Hello! I'm kind of lost while I'm trying to install the new PECL-Redis on my PHP 7.1 installation. I'm using Synth on my base system to build Packages for my jails. I have jails with different apps running different PHP versions (php56, php70, soon also php71). Until recently it was fairly...

Hi! I'm having a problem building nghttp2 (and the programs that depend on it) with Synth. The build stops, these are the last lines I get: libtool: link: ar cru .libs/libnghttp2_asio.a libnghttp2_asio_la-util.o libnghttp2_asio_la-http2.o libnghttp2_asio_la-ssl.o libnghttp2_asio_la-timegm.o...

Hi, so far, ports-mgmt/synth has been doing extremely well with all special wishes I had so far :) Unfortunately, now as I try to update deskutils/tine20 to a more recent version, I have a hard time understanding how runtime vs. buildtime dependencies are taken into consideration (if that is...
