    Errors from running init.sh

    /usr/src doesn't come into play here as this is being built within a jail, or at least I've never seen it come into play.

    Build Your Own FreeBSD Update Server

    Great, thanks. I'm glad the article helped you. Currently, I am trying to verify the article for 10.2, but am not able to get a build without errors. Are you still running this process successfully? I would love to see your notes on how you were able to get this to build properly. Please share...

    freebsd-updates and linker.hints

    The file is being distributed, and will always be different then what you have on your system. Typically, this file is removed from the distribution of update bits. Since you aren't controlling distribution of the updates, there is one way you can solve this. It involves setting a few options...

    This has been fixed in r303796. It is a new build target that primarily was designed for support of packages, but only is run on the build cluster.

    Freebsd-Update Metadata Failed Error

    The fact that the signature failed, merely means that the release wasn't available on that mirror. Trying other mirrors is suggested, as it is still propagating all mirrors.

    Is it convenient to convert a 32 bits FreeBSD to 64 bits?

    Technically, can't you build and install the kernel and world for amd64, and then recompile all of your installed software?

    libvirt

    I wrote a port for this. This is only client-side for FreeBSD due to lack of a network virtualization stack, I'm told, at the moment. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/157024 -jgh

    Yahoo! no longer a FreeBSD stronghold?

    Forgot about that. Still doesn't mean that it would still be the case, though.

    Yahoo! no longer a FreeBSD stronghold?

    I know an engineer over at Zimbra, that is owned by Yahoo. He mentioned to me about 1 1/2 years ago that they were phasing out FreeBSD. I could ping him and see if this is still the case. I really hope it isn't.

    Force disconnect on unattended SSH/SFTP connections

    Tailing a log won't log you out in using an idle timeout on the shell. If your testing proves otherwise, I would be interesting in knowing that. My testing proved otherwise.

    This port is being deprecated. Use sysutils/doinkd (successor project of idled).

    Build Your Own FreeBSD Update Server

    In about the past week or so, I have updated the article. One was a formatting update, and the other was a content update. The content update fixed some redundancy, provided some clarity and I also expanded on the tips, which may help with some of the updates I posted in this thread...

    Build Your Own FreeBSD Update Server

    Yes, this is due to recent updates to the naming of the iso when built. fetchiso routine can be modified on a per release basis in build.subr under the scripts/architecture/x.x-RELEASE/ to account for differences in 7.x and 8.x releases

    Build Your Own FreeBSD Update Server

    You just need to modify the fetchiso location you are downloading from in build.subr. You could simply create an anonymous ftp server locally, even.
