Sorry, couldn't resist, I keep looking at the title and thinking it. Perhaps this is what you mean?

RIP Dennis, your legacy is immense and indisputable.

Thanks. If possible, let me know how it goes when it gets to RELEASE, and if there is anything special to do when you upgrade.

It is a sad day. I bet a lot of computer nerds who grew up with the Mac Classics and earlier Apple gear are feeling old like I am. RIP Steve.

Thanks for letting me know. Keep us informed as to how it works out for you. Good luck.

One thing ghostcorps - I would recommend running that script manually as it asks for input from time to time, to delete various things as necessary. Unless DutchDaemon says otherwise, I would not put it in crontab.

I use DutchDaemon's script, portupdater.sh. At the end, I read if there is anything relevant in /usr/ports/UPDATING (which that script prints out), and then: portmaster -a Or as appropriate.

Ok, I think I've got everything finally working... unfortunately I've reached one of those "I've discovered a remarkable solution to this problem, unfortunately my machine hung right after it finished the last compile." type situations. I think this post was helpful - was having problems with...

Email conversation with kwm@freebsd.org leads me to this post which appears promising... trying now.

I've been unable to build sysutils/brasero. I tried submitting a bug report but it got closed. See here. Note that I try following ports/UPDATING 20110823 and it gets me the same result. In fact, although it was unstated in the original bug submission, this was how I got there in the first...

No problem, thank YOU for contributing here. Please let me (and the rest of us) know how it works out for you.

I'm not sure. However on a related note, do you ever get a feeling for what a programmer must be like when you are intimately familiar with their program? Yes? That's why whenever I use vi or its descendants, I feel a profound sense of Joy. And the corollary; whenever I try and use another...

Make sure to note the "editors" part of editors/emacs, it may be as astonishing for you to find it there as it was for me. I guess they let similarly tightly focused "do one thing and do it well" editors like libreoffice/openoffice in there too. Most people would avoid getting caught reading...

Vim is what should be used when serious work is to be done. For editing config files, vi is a reasonable substitute. /holy_warrior ;)

No problem. I'm glad you took the time to thank me and post on the thread. Let me know how you go with it. I welcome you and others to contribute some feedback and any suggestions/discussion/improvement etc. to make this a better solution. So far there are 42 downloads of these install scripts...

Mine are functional (ergo, boring). When I played games like civilization in my youth, I would name cities things like "ore", "wood", "fish" depending on what resources were nearby.

I'm sure the rollback is quicker. The problem with rollbacks is that the filesystem is brought back to the state of the snapshot you are restoring to, and all intermediate snapshots must be destroyed. Fine if the delete/modification was the last change the user made. Not fine if the user made...

It's not necessary to rollback a filesystem to recover data. Provided you know which files have changed, you can just copy the actual file(s) from the .zfs directory and overwrite the current one.

Remove HAL?!? I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

A bump for this. I have this problem too, thanks for the solution.
