More use of -DNOPROFILE X-BeenThere: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Documentation project List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 29 Jun 2003 08:29:26 -0000 [1] Request for advice to copy the bsd*.mk files out of the /usr/src/ directory I noted yesterday that make -DNOCLEAN buildworld crashes instead of completing. I started with a version 5.1 release of FreeBSD and after a tiny number of updates, buildworld no longer ran. The problem was that (as usual) buildworld was using the wrong bsd.*.mk files. So long as that is not going to be fixed, then it can be documented. Persons new to FreeBSD 5 would easily find the messages to be unhelpful. This comment on section 21.4 of the FreeBSD handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html I'd suggest that BSD "make" catch all attempts to wrongly read files outside of the /usr/src directory. If make buildworld won't copy across the bsd*.mk files then comments in the handbook can tell the user to do it. There was no comment on the problem in the /usr/src/UPDATING file (or whatever it is named). Those errors are hard to figure out due to the obscurity of what those files do. E.g. how many new FreeBSD userss understand exactly how a bsd*mk file alters the directory that a C "#incude " accesses ?. ------------- [2] Let's have -DNOCLEAN be in all the examples instead of -DNOPROFILE The -DNOCLEAN option stops unnecessary recompiling. Yesterday, at least 1/2 of the crashes in buildworld of version 5 of FreeBSD, were due to bugs in FreeBSD software that vanished when I made no change at all and restarted the buildworld. It might be that make can't multitask properly. I assume that using -DNOCLEAN causes no problems (unless retaining very old files). A lot of retries are needed before buildworld of v5 runs correctly (in June). There is no need to mention -DNOPROFILE in example command. That is set by the /etc/make.conf file so it need not be retyped in. The option "-DNOPROFILE" appears 3 times on that part of the handbook --------------------------------------------- # make -DNOPROFILE target ... For example, if you ran: # make -DNOPROFILE buildworld you must install the results with: # make -DNOPROFILE installworld --------------------------------------------- It would be nice to add a "then" before the "you must". Please can the 3 "-DNOPROFILE"s be changed to be "-DNOCLEAN". I have an EPoX motherboard that crashes very infrequently and yet when I did a v5 buildworld then I got at least 4 crashes and so many that it was faster to do without the "-j4" option. Quite probably the buildworld will fix itself when nothing is done, even when there is no use of the "-j" ["-j4"] option. The best plan seems to be to try this (and missing out -DNOCLEAN in favour of -DNOPROFILE would be against this): (a) don't investigate (b) restart the buildworld. (c) if that failed then solve the problem. ------------- I don't actually intend to report these as bugs. Someone else could do that or write to me or whatever.

(I sent e-mail about this last week, but I see it didn't get through. I'll try again, but my ISP changed my e-address today, so...) Apparently, niether "ficl" or "FICL" is correct. According to "http://ficl.sourceforge.net/", it's a capitalized name derived from "Forth Inspired Command Language", so it really should be "Ficl", which is confirmed by observing that casing throughout the first page of a google search. It seems that "Ficl" should be considered to be the name of a "library", but it not clear to me what macro should be used on it. (Certainly not the "library name" macro. :) Since I usually read man pages is plain text (withing Xemacs), I'd be happing if the names of most things were surrounded by double quotes like "Ficl", but I see lots of names in bold or italics or UPPERCASE or underlined or `ugly quotes'. As if people knew the distinctions and found them useful. So "ficl" and "FICL" both should be changed in the "loader" manpage.

These represent problem reports covering all versions 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 problem is understood and a solution is being sought. f - feedback Further work requires additional information from the originator or the community - possibly confirmation of the effectiveness of a proposed solution. p - patched A patch has been committed, but some issues (MFC and / or confirmation from originator) are still open. s - suspended The problem is not being worked on, due to lack of information or resources. This is a prime candidate for somebody who is looking for a project to do. 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 -- or when fixing the problem is abandoned.

It's quite obvious that a LOT has changed w.r.t. the install since those instructions were written, especially since CD-ROM installs are barely mentioned and I cannot find any information anywhere on the site as to what exactly the miniinst ISO image is supposed to do - if it's there, it's well-hidden. This compounds the fact that the installation process itself is quite painful due to its seriously counterintuitive nature in many places. In addition, documentation on hardware support, perticularly for laptops and PCMCIA cards appears to be completely lacking - I only hope that it doesn't reflect an equivalent lack of real hardware support. (For instance, my very common Netgear PCMCIA Ethernet card is apparently not supported on anything on the CDs, leaving me stranded without net access, which is completely unacceptable, especially for someone that can't figure out how he's supposed to find and install new drivers on an OS that's only half-installed. To put this in perspective, let me say that I am NOT a newbie - I have nearly 20 years of Unix expereince, and was once a Sun SE and Network Ambassador. I have installed and worked with nearly every major Unix out there starting with Version 7, as well as several Linux distros including the dreaded Debian. The really sad thing is that I have so far been absolutely unable to get anything remotely approaching a fully functioning system installed in three tries. If I can't do it, you guys are hosed. I really want to use BSD, and I am staunchly opposed to the GPL, but really, the area of installation needs some major work or you're never going to win anyone over simply because they'll never see it run. I'm not a coder, but I'm a pretty good architect and a darn good product manager, so if you need someone to head up a new installer effort, please let me know - I'd be happy to help.

This failed due to me cleaning up some of the stored spam. The script currently just globs everything together when it's first invoked, and then assumes that it will be able to open everything it saw. I've put together a little patch that does two things, one of which may be stupid. I also don't know TCL in any depth, so please could someone who does review it. It's at http://people.freebsd.org/~ceri/go.tcl.diff. The first part of the patch simply skips a PR if it can't be opened (this is the bit that may be stupid), while the second part makes sure that only real PRs are added to the list in the first place (the above file shouldn't have been considered anyway).

[I somehow feel compelled to respond to this email. I am trying, perhaps not successfully, not to take it too personally.] I presume you're referring to the INSTALL.TXT and INSTALL.HTM files that come with each distribution. If someone (be it you or someone else) wants to take on the task of bringing them up to date, that'd be fantastic. I'm at least somewhat responsible for the release documentation (of which these are a part), but my main focus is the release notes. Rewriting the install instructions (paying particular attention to the various platforms that we now support) is simply a bigger task than I personally have time or energy for. > In addition, documentation on hardware support, perticularly for laptops= =20 > and PCMCIA cards appears to be completely lacking - I only hope that it= =20 > doesn't reflect an equivalent lack of real hardware support.

You looked in the hardware notes, right? We try not to list specific laptops because this list would: 1) A moving target and 2) very long. I remember at least one externally-maintained list but can't remember the URL off-hand. Updates for the supported hardware list are welcome. More details than "my very common Netgear PCMCIA Ethernet card" would be needed, of course. I guess I'd sum up my response to the first two paragraphs as: "Yes, these may suck, but making them better require that someone volunteer to do the work." Please don't volunteer me, I have enough to do with a full-time job plus my existing FreeBSD projects. > To put this in perspective, let me say that I am NOT a newbie - I have=20 > nearly 20 years of Unix expereince, and was once a Sun SE and Network=20 > Ambassador.

I'd be one of the first to agree that the installer could use a lot of work but people do manage (somehow) to get the system running. I'm certainly not saying you're stupid, far from it. But there's no shame in asking for assistance either. I presume you're also aware that we don't encourage the use of 5.X for new FreeBSD users, at least not yet.

Unfortunately, the mailing list archives are littered with the corpses of countless email threads, bikesheds, and flamewars about what a new installer would look like. It's not that the concept of a "better" installer has never occurred to the FreeBSD community. The problem is that there has never been anyone with the right combination of ability, time, and interest to actually pull this off. If you're really interested, I can (I think) point you in the direction of the most recent group of people to show interest in this area. I'm not sure where follow-up discussion should take place.

It's just going to generate silly PRs when new files are added. It doesn't really matter or add anything to the text. It's just filler. I suggest we invite users to type ls on their own system and maybe list a few files followed by '...'. Attempting to list all, even after qualifying it with something like "at the time of this writing", is I think in general a bad idea unless it is really necessary for clarify. I think this new section could in general do with some more wordsmithing.

I tried a few mirrors, but still no images. As the file was unzipped on a Windows NT by WinZip, I tried on my Solaris Box: It gunzip'ed fine, but after successfully xtrackting all html-files and the imagelib/callouts/...png's, tar complained "directory checksum error". Back in WinZip I noticed the last files in the tar-ball (the image-files, I guess) had a path description like "local/1/var/tmp/doc-build/build/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/../../../share/images/books/" and they ALL had the SAME filename "hand" Looking on your on-line Handbook I found an image with the following path "http://www.dk.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install/userconfig.png" So I guess the "hand"-filename is really handbook/...something.png cut short. Is it my brain which needs an upgrade or is your zip'd Handbook broken? Please help me.

I checked the docu now once again, and every piece of it including the splash mini-FAQ says, the splash image should go into /boot. I found the solution in /boot/defaults/loader.conf, where it is said that the image must be located somewhere in the module_path. The default for this however is "/boot/kernel;/boot/modules/" so a splash image in /boot isn't found. I think there are two solutions: 1) Add /boot to the module_path in /boot/defaults/loader.conf like "/boot/kernel;/boot/modules/;/boot" 2) Remove all examples of images in the documentation, which use relative paths and substitute the absolute paths. Mike, do you think there might be some problems with solution #1? It would be easier to correct, but maybe #2 is the cleaner way. I would create the diffs for the man pages and conf-files, so you only had to commit them.

From: Tom Rhodes To: Michael Smith Cc: siegbert.baude@gmx.de, freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: docs/54009: Clarify the location of the splash image in the splash man page Date: Thu, 3 Jul 2003 12:10:18 -0400 From the loader.conf(5) manual page: bitmap_load (``NO'') If set to ``YES'', a bitmap will be loaded to be displayed on screen while booting. bitmap_name (``/boot/splash.bmp'') Name of the bitmap to be loaded. Any other name can be used. I think that is quite explicit on using splash images. If we read down a little further, we come across: FILES /boot/defaults/loader.conf default settings -- do not change this file. /boot/loader.4th defines the commands used by loader to read and process loader.conf. /boot/loader.conf user defined settings. /boot/loader.conf.local machine-specific settings for sites with a common loader.conf. /boot/loader.rc contains the instructions to automatically process loader.conf. The one I'm interested in is /boot/loader.conf which is described as 'user defined settings.', which I think is self explainatory. Now, loader.conf works similar to rc.conf and a few other files in FreeBSD where the user defined settings should exist in another file which overrides the default. My personal feeling here is that the proper method would be to: Create the /boot/loader.conf file if it does not exist. Put in the custom splash information with what is defined above. That is how I did it on my system. Now, if you do not define a splash image, then yes I'm sure it would look in the module path (without looking at the code nor any other manual page/documentation besides loader.conf(5)). Try my suggestion above and let me know if that fixes your problem. Thanks. -- Tom Rhodes On Thu, 3 Jul 2003 09:19:00 -0700 Michael Smith wrote: > > Don't screw with the module path.

Help? Hmm, cron(8) mentions that /etc/crontab is in a difference format and refrences crontab(5), but you seems to be correct that crontab(5) doesn't mention the differences. I'm fairly sure the only difference is the who field between the time and command specifications.

It is processed by .Xr config 8 to create a build environment where a kernel may be built using .Xr make 1 . .Sh LEXICAL STRUCTURE A kernel configuration file comprises a sequence of specification directives. .Pp A specification directive starts with a keyword at the beginning of the line and is followed by additional parameters. .Pp A specification directive may be terminated by a semicolon .Ql \&; or by a newline. Long input lines may be broken into shorter lines by starting the second and subsequent lines with a white space character. .Pp Case is significant, .Ql machine and .Ql MACHINE are different tokens. .Pp A double quote character .Ql \&\*q starts a quoted string. All characters up to the next quote character form the value of the quoted string. A .Ql \&\*q character may be inserted into a quoted string by using the sequence .Ql \e\*q . .Pp Number are specified using .Li C Ns No -style syntax. .Pp A .Ql # character starts a comment; all characters from the .Ql # character till end of line are ignored. .Pp Whitespace between tokens is ignored, except inside quoted strings. Whitespace following a comment line is ignored. .Sh CONFIGURATION DIRECTIVES Kernel configuration directives may appear in any order in a kernel configuration file. Directives are processed in order of appearance with subsequent directive lines overriding the effect of prior ones. .Pp The list of keywords and their meanings are as follows: .Bl -tag -width "makeoptions" .\" -------- CPU -------- .It Cm cpu Ar cputype Specify the CPU this kernel will run on. There can be more than one .Li cpu directives in a configuration file. The allowed list of cpu names is architecture specific and is defined in the file .Pa "sys/conf/options." Ns Ar arch . .\" -------- DEVICE -------- .It Cm device Ar name Op count Configures device .Ar name for inclusion into the kernel image. If .Ar count is specified, the device is configured for .Ar count instances. The list of valid device names is architecture specific and are defined in the files .Pa "sys/conf/files" and .Pa "sys/conf/files." Ns Ar arch . .\" -------- ENV -------- .It Cm env Ar filename Specifies a filename containing a kernel environment definition. The kernel normally uses an environment prepared for it at boot time by .Xr loader 8 . This directive makes the kernel ignore the boot environment and use the compiled in environment instead. .Pp This directive is useful for setting kernel tunables in embedded environments that do not start from .Xr loader 8 . .\" -------- HINTS -------- .It Cm hints Ar filename Specifies a file to load a static device configuration specification from. From .Fx 5.0 onwards, the kernel picks up the device configuration at boot time (see .Xr device.hints 5 Ns ). This directive configures the kernel to use the static device configuration listed in .Ar filename. .Ar filename must conform to .Xr device.hints 5 syntax. .\" -------- IDENT -------- .It Cm ident Ar name Set the kernel name to .Ar name . At least one .Cm ident directive is required. .\" -------- INCLUDE -------- .It Cm include Ar filename Read subsequent text from file .Ar filename and return to the current file after .Ar filename is successfully processed. .\" -------- MACHINE -------- .It Cm machine Ar arch Specifies the architecture of the machine the kernel is being compiled for. Legal values for .Ar arch include: .Bl -hang -compact .It alpha The DEC Alpha architecture. .It amd64 The AMD x86-64 architecture. .It i386 The IBM PC architecture. .It ia64 The Intel IA64 architecture. .It pc98 The pc96 architecture. .It powerpc The IBM PowerPC architecture. .It sparc64 The Sparc64 architecture. .El .Pp At least one machine architecture must be specified. .\" -------- MAKEOPTION -------- .It Cm makeoptions Ar options Add .Ar options to the generated makefile. .Pp .Ar options is a comma separated list of one or more option specifications. Each option specification has the form .D1 Ar MakeVariableName Op = Ar Value and results in the appropriate .Xr make 1 variable definition being inserted into the generated makefile. If only the name of the .Xr make 1 variable is specified, .Ar value is assumed to be the empty string. .Pp Example: .Bd -unfilled -offset indent -compact .Li makeoptions MYOPTION = \*qfoobar\*q .Li makeoptions MYNULLOPTION .Ed .\" -------- MAXUSERS -------- .It Cm maxusers Ar number This optional directive is used to configure the size of some kernel data structures. .Ar number should be an integer between 2 and 512, or can be 0. From .Fx 4.5 onwards, the kernel will automatically size its tables according to the available physical memory if .Cm maxusers is not specified or is specified to be 0. As explained in .Xr tuning 7 , this tunable can also be set on a running kernel using .Xr sysctl 8 . .\" -------- NOMAKEOPTION -------- .It Cm nomakeoption Ar name Removes previously defined .Xr make 1 option .Ar name from the kernel build. .\" -------- NOOPTION -------- .It Cm nooption Ar kerneloptionname Remove kernel option .Ar kerneloptionname from the list of previously defined options. .\" -------- OPTIONS -------- .It Cm options Ar optionspecs Add compile time kernel options to the kernel build. .Ar optionspecs is a comma separated list of option specifications. Each option specification has the form .D1 Ar KernelOptionName Op = Ar OptionValue If .Ar OptionValue is not specified, it is assumed to be NULL. The list of allowed options is architecture specific and are specified in the files .Pa "sys/conf/options" and .Pa "sys/conf/options." Ns Ar arch . .\" -------- PROFILE -------- .It Cm profile Ar number Enables kernel profiling if .Ar number is non-zero. If .Ar number is 2 or greater, the kernel is configured for high-resolution profiling. Kernels can also be built for profiling using the .Fl -p option to .Xr config 8 . .El .Sh OBSOLETE DIRECTIVES The following kernel configuration directives are obsolete. .Bl -tag -width "makeoptions" -compact .\" -------- CONFIG -------- .It Cm config This directive was used to specify the device to be used for the root filesystem.

It is a list of lib:dir[:target] tuples where lib is the name of the shared library, dir is the directory in which to find it in case it is not available, and target is the target to call in that directory. For example, LIB_DEPENDS= jpeg.9:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/jpeg:install will check for a shared jpeg library with major version 9, and descend into the graphics/jpeg subdirectory of your ports tree to build and install it if it is not found. The target part can be omitted if it is equal to DEPENDS_TARGET (which defaults to install). Note: The lib part is an argument given to ldconfig -r | grep -wF. There shall be no regular expressions in this variable. Now, the last paragraph about how the lib part is handled is wrong. By looking at the bsd.port.mk makefile: if ${LDCONFIG} -r | ${GREP} -qwE -e "-l$$pattern"; then \ so actually the variable can be a regex.

It certainly appears so ... your email is about the fifth complaining of this in the last 48 hours. A few temporary workarounds are: 1) Go to the mailman home page for the particular list you want to search and use that local search. For example: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/ 2) Use the advanced search on a search engine (such as google) I've cc'd the webmaster and doc@ as I have yet to see any response that anyone is looking in to this. It's quite possible that the folks responsible for this have yet to be alerted to the breakage. If fixing the general search page will take some time, I'd be willing to generate a patch to redirect users from that page to individual search pages for the lists. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com From owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Jul 4 08:17:51 2003 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id BFA0037B404 for ; Fri, 4 Jul 2003 08:17:51 -0700 (PDT) Received: from rwcrmhc11.comcast.net (rwcrmhc11.comcast.net [204.127.198.35]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E9A0B4400E for ; Fri, 4 Jul 2003 08:17:48 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from lowell@world.std.com) Received: from be-well.ilk.org (be-well.no-ip.com[24.147.188.198]) by comcast.net (rwcrmhc11) with ESMTP id <20030704151748013007rov2e>; Fri, 4 Jul 2003 15:17:48 +0000 Received: from be-well.ilk.org (lowellg.ne.client2.attbi.com [24.147.188.198] (may be forged)) by be-well.ilk.org (8.12.9/8.12.9) with ESMTP id h64FHkro003005; Fri, 4 Jul 2003 11:17:47 -0400 (EDT) (envelope-from lowell@world.std.com) Received: (from lowell@localhost) by be-well.ilk.org (8.12.9/8.12.6/Submit) id h64FHkWZ003002; Fri, 4 Jul 2003 11:17:46 -0400 (EDT) X-Authentication-Warning: be-well.ilk.org: lowell set sender to lowell@world.std.com using -f Sender: lowell@be-well.no-ip.com To: rdm@cfcl.com (Rich Morin), freebsd-doc@freebsd.org References: From: Lowell Gilbert Date: 04 Jul 2003 11:17:46 -0400 In-Reply-To: Message-ID: <44of0a5nj9.fsf@be-well.ilk.org> Lines: 26 User-Agent: Gnus/5.09 (Gnus v5.9.0) Emacs/21.3 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Subject: Re: format of /etc/crontab?

Help? It does, actually: The format of a cron command is very much the V7 standard, with a number of upward-compatible extensions. Each line has five time and date fields, followed by a user name (with optional ``:'' and ``/'' suffixes) if this is the system crontab file, followed by a command. In other words, the difference is whether there is a user name specified just before the command to be executed From owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Jul 4 08:45:06 2003 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C3CAC37B401; Fri, 4 Jul 2003 08:45:06 -0700 (PDT) Received: from bsdone.bsdwins.com (www.bsdwins.com [192.58.184.33]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id DDB8943FE0; Fri, 4 Jul 2003 08:45:05 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from jwd@bsdwins.com) Received: from bsdone.bsdwins.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by bsdone.bsdwins.com (8.12.9/8.12.9) with ESMTP id h64FaMf1094229; Fri, 4 Jul 2003 11:36:22 -0400 (EDT) (envelope-from jwd@www.bsdwins.com) Received: (from jwd@localhost) by bsdone.bsdwins.com (8.12.9/8.12.9/Submit) id h64FaM0F094228; Fri, 4 Jul 2003 11:36:22 -0400 (EDT) Date: Fri, 4 Jul 2003 11:36:22 -0400 From: John To: Joseph Koshy Message-ID: <20030704153622.GA93986@BSDWins.Com> References: <20030704084540.104CA37B401@hub.freebsd.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <20030704084540.104CA37B401@hub.freebsd.org> User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.1i cc: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org cc: freebsd-current@freebsd.org Subject: Re: [review request] New config.5 manual page X-BeenThere: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Documentation project List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 04 Jul 2003 15:45:07 -0000 Dealing with maxusers can be a bit confusing depending upon the approach taken. You may want to add a bit of additional information: maxusers number This optional directive is used to configure the size of some kernel data structures. number should be an integer between 2 and 512, or can be 0. From FreeBSD 4.5 onwards, the kernel will automatically size its tables according to the available physical memory if maxusers is not specified or is specified to be 0. As explained in tuning(7), this tunable can also be set on a running kernel using sysctl(8). When maxusers is not specified and thus automatically sized, the default maximum is 384. To increase maxusers beyond 384 requires either a config entry or boot time override. As noted above, the config entry for maxusers is limited to 512. If a maxusers of 1024 is desired, an entry in /boot/loader.conf is required. If the maxusers can be specified in multiple locations, the limits placed on the value should be similar/identical. Any differences in the way the value is treated should be well documented (or fixed). As we move into larger memory systems our current limitations need to be either removed or increased. Hope this helps. -John From owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Jul 4 14:30:12 2003 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-doc@hub.freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id BCF7137B412 for ;

I discovered that doing a "make reinstall" of each of the dependencies, such as textproc/html or textproc/iso8879 had benefical effects. I managed to replicate the process of having the dependencies for docbook become confused by doing the somewhat drastic "pkg_delete -a ; cd /usr/ports/textproc/docbook ; make install". Things like jade, libxml2, docbook-xml-4.2_1 weren't reinstalled, nor was peps, ghostscript, etc. [ Hmm.
