Are there any ports of drivers for RAID hardware that run under FreeBSD?
Do you know if there is a mailing list/group for this?
Thanx,

I would suggest to look into the Mylex or CMD SCSI-to-SCSI RAIDs.

I thought I told you before that "ports" is for application software,
not hardware. ;)
* Are there any ports of drivers for RAID hardware that run under FreeBSD?
* Do you know if there is a mailing list/group for this?
You can try hardware@freebsd.org. By the way, there is a software
striped disk driver called ccd(4) but it only supports RAID0 and RAID1
(i.e., mirroring).

* I am unable to install the latest port of Majordomo because
* there are certain components referenced in the makefile (such
* as the $INSTALL_DATA variable) which are not present in my
* release of the O/S. Unfortunately, this port, as many others,
* was tailored for 2.2-BETA. Please tell me what components I
* need to get, and how I can get them, in order to be able to
* successfully make the Majordomo 1.94.1 port.
Take the latest bsd.port.mk, bsd.port.subdir.mk (src/share/mk) and
var.c (src/usr.bin/make). At least that will bring your ports
building infrastructure up to date.
* As a side note (and only as a suggestion), it would be great
* if ports were available for a couple of STABLE versions of
* the O/S. Borrowing components from a BETA version into a
* STABLE version does not seem like a good idea.
The ports-current tree tracks -current only, and may or may not work
with older versions. This is necessary for us to ensure, with our
limited mapower, to have all of 700+ packages ready come release time.
On the other hand, I have no idea why you thought what you got was a
STABLE version. Please let us know how you got that port as we need
to make sure there is no misunderstanding.

Oh...that's the problem. The port you took is for -current.
FreeBSD-current has tcl in /usr/src but 2.1-stable does not.
You will need to (at the minimum) extract the tcl source in lang/tcl75
and edit the Makefile to reflect that fact. But I don't know if that
will work though. :(
* Age is probably the problem, since I'm running 2.1.5-stable (waiting for
* the new CD from my subscription - shouldn't the new CD's have shipped by
* now?), but all of the components were originally from the 2.1.5 CD (Tcl75,
I've heard 2.1.6 just started shipping, but it won't help your
particular problem.
* tk41, expect-5.21) so I was hoping I could get by until I can update the
* OS release. The root of the problem is I'm trying to run the Quakeserver
* port in response to my user's requests. I'm assuming I'd be in trouble if
* I tried just installing the package(s) from 2.2.
Yes, you will be in trouble. Can you just use the port/package on the
CD? We really don't have enough manpower to maintain the ports tree
for two releases....

For which reason?
And, what's wrong with ``workman -c /dev/rwcd0c''?

Just submitting for somebody else to verify: AfterStep seems to try to
compress it's man-pages twice. It might be just my system though - I'm
running 2.1.6 with bsd.ports.mk, bsd.ports.subdir.mk and
/usr/bin/src/usr.bin/make/var.c from current. (As per Asamis comment about
ports infrastructure earlier today)
Most other ports works, and I don't know anything but the above files that
should influence that part of the port.
No flames please.

Curiouser: the standard workman in packages-current/x11 does indeed
work fine with my ATAPI CDROM drive.
I guess
NAME
workman - play audio compact discs on a SCSI CD player
from the man page must scare people away from that version.

... and "plain" workman Just Works with ATAPI CDROMs for

The default address seems to be having trouble. First the site failed lookup.
Then there was no route. I can't tell if the files are there or not.
The followup site ftp.relcom.ru worked for me, although very slowly.
Still, it might be best to wait a day or so to see what happens to the
default.
You can comment out the default in the makefile to remove the failed attempt.

Current FreeBSD problem reports
The following is a listing of current problems submitted by FreeBSD users.
These represent problem reports covering all versions fo FreeBSD including
experimental development code and obsolete releases.
Bugs can be in one of several states:
o - open
A problem report has been submitted, no sanity checking performed.
a - analyzed
The report has been examined by a team member and evaluated.
f - feedback
The problem has been solved, and the originator has been given a
patch or a fix has been committed. The PR remains in this state
pending a response from the originator.
s - suspended
Work on the problem has been postponed. This happens if a
timely solution is not possible or is not cost-effective at
the present time. The PR continues to exist, though a solution
is not being actively sought. If the problem cannot be solved at all,
it will be closed, rather than suspended.
c - closed
A problem report is closed when any changes have been integrated,
documented, and tested.

It's virtually guaranteed that PIC and/or shared libraries are involved
somehow in this problem.
If you'll send me the following, I might be able to help figure out
what's going on:
* The full make output (including the "ld" command) for the command
that produced the diagnostic you quoted.
* The full make output for all the steps involved in creating
libcruft.a. That means all the compilations to produce the .o
files going into it, plus whatever was done to produce the library
itself.
* Just for fun, the output of this command, run on your make output:
egrep -i 'pic|share|\.so\>'

There still are problems; although I have not yet determined if these are
problems with the "make" infrastructure or with the Majordomo 1.94.1 port.
So, on my end, this issue is still open.

Thanks to all who replied. As you guessed Brian, the SCSI mention in
the man page (coupled with the facts that there once was a workman-atapi
port and the device is compiled into the binary) convinced me that std
workman wouldn't work with ATAPI. Just tried it, and sure enough, with the
right options it works fine.
It might be a good idea to update the WORKMAN port to avoid future
confusion. Patch the man page to mention ATAPI as well as SCSI, if not
exactly what to run for ATAPI CD-ROMs. Or supply a workman-atapi shell
script as part of the package.
Thanks again,
Randall Hopper

Really? The only cause I can think for this is that your bsd.port.mk
is a little old, namely older than 1.236 (Dec 11) and a new afterstep
port. (Actually David jumped the gun and the change to afterstep went
in on Dec 10. :)
What does "grep Id bsd.port.mk" say?

*blush* - I'd downloaded the new bsd.port.mk to /usr/src/share/mk instead
of /usr/share/mk - works now. (I had 1.165 in /usr/share/mk, and 1.243 in
/usr/src/share/mk - and now it works.)
Perhaps it would be an idea for ports to specify minimum version of
bsd.ports.mk? (Just set it to whatever the author of the port has on his
system - better that too many people upgrade than too few.)

I don't think that is necassary, and it will be a royal pain to keep
track for the whole ports tree. I really don't want to add another
mandatory variable to every single one of our 752 ports.
Besides, the ports tree is only tracking -current, in principle. If
you have an old system, you should always get the latest bsd.port.mk
(and put it in /usr/share/mk :) and try your luck, as we still cannot
guarantee anything.

Why is it nescarry to keep track? I suggest just copying the version
number from the version the port author is running to somewhere in the
port, and just let that be a minimum. No changes until the port is
'naturally updated', whereupon people might again be required to update
bsd.ports.mk.

Default to no version requirement. No need to update old ports.

Of course. The point of this was to make it easier to avoid spurious
bug-reports of the type I gave.
Not a pet idea of mine; just something I thought might save _you_ some work.

Thanks, but I still wonder if that kind of case is really that
frequent. ;)
Also, another problem is that if we go to twin-branch development (for
2.2.5 and 3.0, we are planning this after the 2.2R) on the ports tree,
it is quite possible that we'll have two versions of bsd.port.mk. We
then can't easily compare the revisions on different cvs branches.
But nonetheless, this is a very interesting idea.

I can't get XV to install, it exits with error 1
I don't know what this means, and I have no idea how to istall it properly.
When I use your port with it it says xv-3.10a.tar.gz has a checksum
mismatch, but I downloaded it from the official XV page, the file is
3.4megs, is this too big, becuase I saw other ones 2.5ish, and they were
3.10a too.
Is there a pre-compiled binary available?
thanks.

I'm just installed xmj, and all the tiles come out in B&W instead of color.
I've tracked it down to the fact that I run my server in TrueColor mode,
and xmj wants to use a dynamic colormap. I'm guessing that if there were
a version that supported TrueColor, it'd be here, but I thought I'd ask
anyhow, just in case. I'm afraid I'm not enough of an X programmer to even
know where to start, though I'm guessing fixing it involves reading the
static colormap and picking the appropriate colors to use for the tiles.

Look in the packages, there is a binary version of xv named: xv-3.10a.tgz
You also need, tiff-3.3.tgz and jpeg-6.tgz (if i'm not mistaken).
All those sits in the packages directory of FreeBSD.

I've got a port I'm updating here, which now has a
seperately-distributed patch file. The patch file is in
.tar.Z.uue.txt format, ie. it's a uuencoded .tar.Z file, which
extracts files into a seperate directory which then have to be copied
over some old files in the original.
Can anyone suggest a decent way of doing this?

* I've got a port I'm updating here, which now has a
* seperately-distributed patch file. The patch file is in
* ..tar.Z.uue.txt format, ie. it's a uuencoded .tar.Z file, which
* extracts files into a seperate directory which then have to be copied
* over some old files in the original.
*
* Can anyone suggest a decent way of doing this?
Add the file to DISTFILES (but exclude it from EXTRACT_ONLY) and write
your own pre-patch target to extract and copy it over.

The following patch adds support for the +REQUIRED_BY file in
/var/db/pkg. If you make install port A, and then port B that depends
on port B, you will no longer see the "can't open +REQUIRED_BY" when
you do a pkg_delete on B. (And more importantly, pkg_delete will
complain if you try to remove port A.)
It will check for the existence of the directory of the depended port,
then see if the line already exists (note grep will return false if
the file doesn't exist or the line doesn't exist) and adds it if it
doesn't. It will not create a directory or the depended port if it
doesn't exist.
I will be back on Saturday, so please test it before then.

What should we do with such a kind of submission?
I'd instantly say this is ports fodder, but OTOH, it involves a kernel
driver.

I have fixed and uploaded guavac port for FreeBSD.
ftp://ftp.noc.titech.ac.jp/pub/tmp/aki/in.coming/PORTS/Nakai/guavac.tgz
This port of the free java compiler have been broken for a long time
under FreeBSD 2.2 but now it's O.K.
I've tested and I'm sure it works well with the java programs for demo
in Sun's JDK.
Please take a look.

Hey,
Wasn't there a checkbook-balancer program (cbb) out there in ports once?
I had tried it once and it was pretty cool...but appears to be missing.
Question: Was it there, or was I off in some sort of opium dream again?
If it isn't, I think I was able to get it running no problem, if that's
the case I'd be happy to hunt it down and portify it. (Though I woulda
sweared somebody already had...)
Cheers,
Brian

That's my original problem... the port won't build because of the
interaction with tcl7.5. Tcl7.5 itself builds fine (and I tried removing
it and installing the package as well) - it's that the expect port doesn't
play well with Tcl and won't build past the point of trying to find
'private headers' in the tclCongig.sh file.

>Description:
I just installed the 2.2-BETA release and tried installing some
packages with the /stand/sysinstall program. A number of the
packages have failed to install because the package can not be found
on the installation media (ftp.freebsd.org). I've checked, and in
each case, the file name in the INDEX file doesn't match the actual
name of the package. The packages all are newer versions than are
listed in the index. An example is ELM. In the INDEX file it is listed
as elm-2.4ME+28, while the actual file name is elm-2.4ME+30.
>How-To-Repeat:
See description.

Update the INDEX file.

After all this time, I've put together my first port--James
Clark's SP. This includes the SGML parser as a library (both
static and shared, with includes) and some applications (nsgmls,
sgmlnorm, spam, and spent).
Two questions:
1) I haven't been following the freeze announcements, what is
the latest scoop on adding new ports?
2) This port really wants to be in a "text processing"
category. In fact, in the misc category, it has a few other lost
friends like glimpse, ispell, mgdiff, recode, rman, and trans.
Opinions on a "Text" category?

I think it's a good idea - some things now in "print" should also
probably move over to it. I should have had a text category from the
beginning, but missed it.

No.
That would be like putting the perl5 port in the database
category because you can use it in a database project. There is
overlap between text processing and printing applications, but
putting equating the two is a serious classification error.
A printing application might make use of SGML, but SGML is *not*
a printing application by any stretch of the definition. It
doesn't belong in printing any more than ispell or recode does.

Very few of our applications *exactly* fit one category. Is there
anything else like sgml? Are you asking for a one-item category? Would
putting sgml in either print or misc be so misleading? The idea of
categories is to make things easier to locate, there isn't any intrinsic
functionality implied.

Of course I'm aware that nothing fits exactly one category. That
is what cross references are for. In my years working in
libraries, and more recently as a doctoral student in library and
information science, I have had the opportunity to look at a
number of classification schemes in enough depth to have a
reasonable grasp of how they work, or don't as the case may be.
A basic property of all schemes is that they have gaping holes.
While the ominous four volume set that comprises the Library of
Congress Subject headings seems to cover just about everything
when looked at casually, more careful scrutiny reveals some holes
of mammoth proportions. (particularly for non-western topics and
materials).
A difference between classification schemes that work and those
that don't is that the former are dynamic and grow to fill in the
gaps. The process never ends because gaps pop up out of nowhere,
for instance the entire field of computer science created a gap
that had to be filled in the before mentioned LCSH.
Back to tho topic at hand, I think that SP, and a number of other
text processing tools currently classified as "misc" belong in
what is currently just such a hole in our tiny ports
classification scheme.
Heck, many of the most commonly used unix tools--sed, grep, awk,
wc, sort, and uniq to name just a few--are best classified as
text processing tools. Of course they could all be used in the
process of creating a printed document, but few people if any
would classify them as "printing" tools in the way that, say,
TeX is a printing tool.
So no, I don't think SP is a category of one.
> putting sgml in either print or misc be so misleading? The idea of
Short answer: yes.
If I'm looking for something to validate the syntax of my HTML
files, how likely is it that I'm going to look behind Door Number
One labeled "print"? Not likely.

Following situation:
I compiled the XFree86 tree from ports, packed it into an x11.tar.gz
file and moved it to another machine where I want to do the install.
Now make is looking for the distfiles. Is there a way to tell the
ports build mechanism to skip this step without mangling the Makefile.

Satoshi; I hope I did this right - as with netscape, we don't want the
distfiles being mirrored everywhere or on the CD (they're huge too).

Dear UMT users,
After thoughtful consideration all possibilities of further UMT
development I have made decision which will may affect all of us.
I decide, since we are unable, because of luck of time, do further
development and bug fixes of UMT it is good idea to release sources to the
public and allow people continue development of this piece of software.
Currently UMT belongs to Topaz-Inform, Ukrainian company where we
developed it. Most developers are already left this company. I talked to
officials in Topaz and got permission to distribute sources of UMT under
GPL in case if Topaz will be mentioned in documentation and About dialog.
In few days I'm going to put snapshot of UMT source tree to
ftp://ftp.crocodile.org/pub/UMT.
I will be still maintaining UMT. This means I will gladly incorporate all
your changes to our CVS repository and make new versions of UMT available
at my FTP site. Also, as time permits, I will be maintaining UMT WWW page
at http://www.crocodile.org/UMT/UMT.html
I would be glad to receive any feedback from you regarding this
announcement.
Sincerely yours,
Vadim
