ZFS, Poudriere and LLVM are three things that are new and will definitely get their own chapters. Jails is in the 2nd edition but it will have to be updated. Since 32-bit was still popular when the 2nd edition was released, maybe we will get a chapter, or at least a section, on making a pure...

It is possible to build FreeBSD without portsnap and its related files. If you buildworld, look for /etc/src.conf, and if it exists, make sure it does not have WITHOUT_PORTSNAP in it.

It looks like you forgot to deinstall; try: # make deinstall reinstall

I am having this problem while running FreeBSD-10-BETA3. I have multimedia/mplayer2 installed, no GUI, and it will play M4A, and MP4 files just fine.

This is from Contact, starring, Jodie Foster.

You stink! You smell like beef and cheese.

I kept getting errors when I tried to install java/icedtea-web. Since java/openjdk6 is a dependency, I installed it by itself first, then I installed java/icedtea-web. I also had problems installing lang/gnat-aux. After installing lang/gcc first, I was then able to install lang/gnat-aux which...

What about self-contained binaries? Isn't that how PC-BSD packages their applications in the PBI? While self-contained binaries would use more space they could, without causing problems with a working system, make it easier to: build, test, and use a newer version of an application that is in...

I will say Formula 51 or The 51st State if the original name was used.

You wish! You'll do sh*t work; scan, crack copyrights, whatever I want.

I am pulling this from my memory but in /etc/make.conf put WITHOUT_IPV6=yes in /etc/src.conf put WITHOUT_INET6=yes WITHOUT_INET6_SUPPORT=yes

While LLVM/Clang can't replace GCC completely right now, it does appear to have hit a "tipping point" where projects can look at LLVM/Clang as a serious alternative. As the various projects figure out what does not compile, and why, then they know what to work on to get LLVM/Clang to compile...

I ran your command and I got: DHCPDISCOVER on dc0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 4 DHCPDISCOVER on dc0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 10 DHCPDISCOVER on dc0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 11 DHCPDISCOVER on dc0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 16 DHCPDISCOVER on dc0 to...

I was able to connect to the internet until I installed some ports. Since I used: portmaster category/port category/port category/port I do not know which port caused me to lose my network connection. My system had locked up so I had to reboot and ever since then, I have not had a network...

xibo, your file worked and it said my CPU is a k8-sse3, just like I thought it would be since that is what /proc/cpuinfo (when I had Gentoo installed) said it was. Out of curiosity, I changed the cputype in my /etc/make.conf to CPUTYPE?=k8 and the compile output showed -march=athlon-mp so I am...

xibo, thank you for your input. I had no intention of trying to compile ports with Clang/LLVM, but if FreeBSD no longer uses GCC to compile itself then I figured it should be ok to use the current version (lang/gcc) to compile ports. I tried to use the command you gave, but a critical error was...

I am returning to FreeBSD, from Gentoo, and it is my understanding that FreeBSD (OS and kernel) is now built with Clang/LLVM. Is this true? If so, when FreeBSD was using GCC it made sense to use the same version of the compiler for the system and ports so everything is on the same page, so to...

Saw this on MacRumors. Follow the link, http://www.macrumors.com/2011/10/27/apples-lossless-audio-codec-alac-now-open-source/, if you are interested. The project has been released under the Apache license. The following link is to the project page at MacOSforge: http://alac.macosforge.org/

Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't ZFS do this? You create a pool, the filesystems and how much space they get. If you need more space then you change the size to what you want/need. This way you do not have to worry about knowing how much space you need for each partition, since there aren't...

While a GUI and mouse are needed for things like GIMP, Inkscape, etc., FreeBSD is an operating system and not all applications need, or even use, a GUI. Including a GUI would be more of a problem than a benefit because anyone that does not want the included GUI will have to spend time removing...
