Sent him another email a few days ago, no response... sigh.

Ah, wow you are correct, I was thinking of ports-mgmt/porttools, not ports-mgmt/portlint.. Sorry about that.

You guys can add more to the list you know :P.. My list was just to start off. Keep 'em coming, it's neat to see different variations of how people say some things :P.

Have not had this issue myself, but try updating your ports tree, and recompiling svn.

Sound's like you're looking for ports-mgmt/portlint http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/testing-portlint.html This will check the syntax of the Makefile, as well as checking build, install, make package, and deinstall.

Well I fixed the issue in my previous post. The issue, I *think*, was related to me upgrading the linux compat to f10, before removing/renaming /usr/compat/linux... so I had different versions of different files, etc... So I removed everything related to the linux compat install (linux-f10-*)...

You can get it with cvsup, take a look at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/cvsup.html basically just make a minimalistic supfile like so: *default host=cvsup9.us.FreeBSD.org *default base=/var/db *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=. *default delete use-rel-suffix...

I can seed on one of my VPS's too :)

I suggest you go back and re-read it because following that I was able to set up my first FreeBSD system within a few hours, fully working with GUI, network, etc. You mention that we're in 2009. If you want something that "just works" go back to windows or Ubuntu. You forget two things: 1)...

That's interesting :P I say scuzzy too. And Gee You Eye for GUI.

How do you say some of the internet/*nix derived words, like "GUI" and "regex"... Here's some of mine: /usr => 'slash you ess are', /var => 'slash var', /etc => 'slash e tee see', vi => 'vee eye', vim => 'vim' (just like it looks), regex => 'reg ex' (reg like...

Right, but in my case there is no other process running when it won't start... Seems weird and I don't know how to even go about debugging it.

Not sure what you mean by testing a port. You could set up a tinderbox to test ports in a jailed environment. Or take a look at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/porting-testing.html and maybe http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/porting-portlint.html

I hate sites like that....well I love them...but I hate them.... bah you get the point :P

Indeed :D, I remember the first time I tried *nix about 5 years ago... Then little by little I started using the commandline more, starting with apt-get from ubuntu, messing with nano, etc... Now I use it as much as I use a GUI, if not more :)... but I've moved on to vim :P.

How is it, I start next year (I'm a senior in high school right now)... Kind-of worried, but I imagine I'll get used to it just like I got used to High School, etc.

Oh wow, how did I forget about little Bobby Tables. I was presented with that when I first got into web development (way back before I knew PHP) and was told to always check for that. "Don't end up the next Bobby Tables!"

I don't have one of those, and I've been getting along fine, :P. On a serious note, Wireshark helps quite a bit.. for web dev, vim and firefox's firebug.

Have not tried uzbl either, but as I use a tiling WM, maybe I would like it (the screenshots on the site show it being used in a tiling environment). I might have to give this a shot :)

Alright guys, thanks both for the info! :)
