    Confusion in a fresh desktop install

    No, this is still fundamentally wrong. Again: look at the handbook what ports and packages are. It is also completely irrelevant in that regard if you update the base system the 'normal' way or via pkgsrc. SYSRC DOES NOT RECOGNIZE ANYTHING # sysrc dbus_enable="YES" dbus_enable: YES -> YES #...

    Confusion in a fresh desktop install

    You are saying that some packages still depend on dbus_enable="YES", but sysrc does not recognize the syntax. Do not you think that is a mistake? @drhowarddrfine, I am saying that dbus_enable="YES" is not necessary for dbus starting on my system. Do you have 30 packages that depend on starting...

    Confusion in a fresh desktop install

    @SirDice, I am not looking a fight, I just wanted to point out some things that have made my system installation difficult and that I do not currently see documented, although I am sure they will be in the future. I do not just want to install packages, I want to compile with...

    Confusion in a fresh desktop install

    You don't need a ports tree if you only install packages. When you install a port/package that has a default configuration file it will always be installed as *.sample, it will only create the non-sample named file if it doesn't already exist. The <config> and <config>.sample file will be...

    Confusion in a fresh desktop install

    I have been trying to install FreeBSD on my desktop for a few days now, and I would like to point out a few things to help new users avoid getting stuck. The new Packages (Experimental) installer option does not include ports, so if you want them, you have to install Git or similar and use the...

    Restore packages in backup folder using a text file list.

    Well, after some experimentation, it appears that the below set of commands does a pretty good job of backing up all of my user settings and all of my packages into a backup folder. The below is part of a script file I have been using for the past few months with reasonable success. I didn't...

    What do you think about a "SteamBSD" machine ?

    I have an idea that I would like to discuss with the BSD community. My long-term goal is to create a non-profit organization, somewhat inspired by the Mozilla Foundation, focused specifically on improving software and hardware support across the BSD ecosystem. The idea has several directions...

    Free bsd 16

    In general: if your system is ZFS on root based, you have definitely more "upgrade-comfort" around: if the upgrade fails and you don't get it to work you have a very comfortable easy fall-back to return to the previous Boot Environment (BE), before the upgrade (in comparison to a fallback to a...

    Understanding the "BASIC-CLOUDINIT" Images

    Just to add a bit more helpful information, here's a workflow I just tested: Create a FAT disk image with a label of 'cidata' Copy meta-data and user-data files to the image (see nuageinit(7)) Add the image as a virtual disk to your VM Reboot the FreeBSD VM guest, if required I'm not going to...

    Changing default C compiler and C libraries

    It would be possible to create a separate branch in FreeBSD Ports or pkgsrc called "litepack". It would contain lightweight software packages that are built using: USES+= tcc The idea is similar to what is often done in the Linux world, where people create lightweight distributions for older or...

    Changing default C compiler and C libraries

    I understand you, I'm also for complete minimalism, while everyone is demanding GIT, I'm talking about FOSSIL SCM, I'm also writing about the cross-platform pkgsrc package system, but everyone still wants to create their own "crutches", I wanted to compile pkgsrc in termux
