    Now that you mention it, it's been awfully quiet in ~/Mail/freebsd here today as well.

    Installing Adobe Flash on FreeBSD 10.1

    It has just been announced that CentOS 6 is now the default. So the next time the packages are rebuilt, they should be built against -c6.

    Solved Linker error

    Do keep in mind that it's exactly what you called it: a workaround, not a real fix. It shouldn't be necessary.

    Solved Linker error

    The pkg-config thing should add all the right -I, -l and -L flags.

    Solved FreeBSD 10.1 - pkg: Cannot solve problem using SAT solver

    I had a similar problem on my home server recently. Don't bother with the uninstall-rebuild-reinstall trick, you'll only get the exact same problem with another package/port. And then another, etc. I hope for your sake that someone else knows of an easier fix, but what I ended up doing was to...

    Installing Adobe Flash on FreeBSD 10.1

    The port www/nspluginwrapper requires Linux, no matter which one. Binary packages really shouldn't be built against -f10 any more, but if they still are you can either build them yourself from ports or wait until the packages get updated.

    Problems with ports in FreeBSD 8.1

    First this: Topics about unsupported FreeBSD versions. FreeBSD 8.1 has reached End-Of-Life over two years ago. It is no longer supported, there will be very few (if any) people who still use it and it hasn't had any security updates in years either. It might be possible to install ImageMagick...

    Media File Transcoder

    Out of curiosity: there seem to be three different versions in the ports tree. What's the difference between those?

    Media File Transcoder

    There might be lighter solutions, but multimedia/mplayer can convert between movie formats.

    AntiMicro and QuiteRSS

    If you have these working, I'd encourage you to create ports for them. See the Porter's Handbook and feel free to ask questions either here or on the freebsd-ports@ mailing list.

    10.1-RELEASE on pandaboard: pkg/ports/src problems

    Speaking of which, feel free to share your experiences and any sources you find helpful. I'm soon going to have to make that transition too (in other words I'm currently still using /etc/rc.conf) so pointers are always welcome.
