From what I understand, it won't be available for testing before the upcoming 8.2/7.4 are released. TeX has been a FreeBSD's documentation framework, which means migrating teTeX to another TeX engine that has incompatibility with teTeX is something like changing the most, if not whole, part of...

According to Hiroki Sato the progress of porting TeXLive to FreeBSD is now at the final stage, and the migration from teTeX to TeXLive in FreeBSD will be commenced after the 8.2/7.4 releases since large changes should not hit the ports tree just before the releases. I am now looking forward...

Dear *BSD fellows, It appears that there are a couple problems with GIMP 2.6.11. I was about to report another pcbsd issue and was managing to get some snapshots and make the image files smaller with Gimp, and noticed that... 1. when trying to open .png image files Gimp seems to be able to...

Happy New Year. I am trying to port a Emacs extension package ESS (Emacs Speaks Statistics) and have been reading through the Porter's Handbook for the last couple weeks but still do not quite understand the contents, and hope I could please have some advice on editing the Makefile. I am...

Moved to Off-Topic with the same thread title I have moved the subsequent thread to Off-Topic as this is now less associated with FreeBSD ports and packages.

Software for statistical computing (moved from a thread in "Installation and Maintenance of FreeBSD Ports or Packages") There are some examples in R books regarding anova/t-test etc, albeit they may not necessarily be associated with medicinal work. However, I would strongly suggest that you...

Hi satimis, Any version shall be fine. R can be installed on Windows/FreeBSD/Linux/Mac. You see many R running on Windows because many end users use Windows, but that does not mean Windows is the best OS to run R. It does not really matter. R is a CLI based statistical environment and this...

R certainly can do pharmaceutical analyses There is no point why you shouldn't use R (math/R) for pharmaceutical/medical research. Manufacturers use SAS but not R mostly merely because they never heard of it. Perhaps you may want to demonstrate your regulators or company that R is actually...

I didn't build it but as my laptop is currently on PC-BSD, the Gimp was built by the PC-BSD PBI server. Once FreeBSD8.1 is out I will try both package and ports and see if the glitch is still there. But I cannot see how rebuild or any build-config option has got to do with this phenomenon...

Unfortunately it looks like it's not an AEI problem, and this only happens in Gimp but not in other applications e.g. Inkscape etc. Attached are my xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log. Perhaps I should also seek advice from the Gimp community too...

Perhaps "performance" is not an appropriate term here, and also this may be due more to KDE4 (4.3.6) than to BSD by itself, but on my laptop my mouse cursor does not move smoothly. Normally this is not that a big issue but it can turn out to be a big problem when precision matters - such as when...

But it's a NIC but not a USB adapter, is it?

Dear BSDers, I am managing to buy a usb wireless adapter for my old laptop recently and am wondering which usb wireless devices on the FBSD8.0 hardware list support WPA2. I have looked around local computer stores but found that only TP-Link TL-WN321G, Linksys WUSB54G rev C and D-Link DWA-110...

Too bad iXsystem has only this one laptop... I have been hoping that they sell AMD based laptop with a larger screen something like Toshiba Satellite L355D-S7809. Or otherwise I would like to replace my current old laptop (seems to be dying...)

May I ask what's wrong with Compaq?

Yeah... or probably I should also check my hardware too, as I recall that when I used to use M$ windows before, the network also tend to freeze up with no reason... a sign to consider a new machine?

I have a laptop with FreeBSD 7.2p4 on it. I can browse websites with the machine without any problem. However I noticed that when I try to install ports (make install) or upgrade ports (porgupgrade), the download speed keeps declining from 30 kbps at first to less than 1-2 kbps within a few...

When I use umount to unmount my usb drive, the light on the usb drive blinks and after that the light is still there (without being turned off like what you normally see on M$ Windows system). When I check my FreeBSD system (FBSD 7.2), there's no usb device so I guess the usb drive has exactly...

Looks like I have to create new themes for WindowMaker and E16 from scratch. And perhaps there will be wm-look.org in the future? :e

The DBSD project is dying, but not dead yet... it will never be. As long as it's OSS, there still is possibility that DBSD be kept developed, either in official/unofficial or even private manners. As for kde3 being used rather than kde4 for now, I think it's a correct policy. People usually...
