--rJwd6BRFiFCcLxzm Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Thanks to the mad skillz of Ian Dowse, who tracked down the problem which was causing the bento cluster to continually panic [*], i386 package builds are once again proceeding normally. A 4.x run is completing now and should be uploaded in the next few hours. The alpha cluster hasn't been having problems, and I've done a couple of 4.x runs there over the past few weeks, but I've also got 5.x alpha packages building again: a 5.x run is currently in progress, but it will be a couple of days before it finishes because the alpha cluster is a bit underpowered compared to bento. Once I get new 4.x and 5.x packages uploaded we can start testing some of those bsd.port.mk and infrastructure patches again. Thanks for everyone's patience. Kris [*] At some point when I was reconfiguring the client machines, I either introduced or exposed a bug in the scripts which caused it to attempt to mount the same swap partition twice. Normally this would be prevented by the kernel -- except when the mounts occur from different copies of /dev, which was the case on the client machines. As soon as the machine started swapping, it tended to blow up pretty spectacularly :-( This was the final problem preventing package runs from completing, but there were also a whole host of problems with the scripts (hardcoded assumptions which were no longer true, poor failure properties, bad design decisions, broken ports which would crash the build, etc), which also needed to be taken care of before I could get there. I think the build process is a fair bit more robust at the moment, but I still need to make a lot of changes to get it where I want to. --rJwd6BRFiFCcLxzm Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8ho+iWry0BWjoQKURAmhWAJ9Q2/57zyVCccYOs6tmmZC7xsoObACgreuR NshiKrxtdgM5R3Nyz1mg4VE= =XAT/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --rJwd6BRFiFCcLxzm-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
