So it looks like the lang/gcc6-aux is spitting out some assembler errors for missing instructions. This is above my pay grade so I may need to file a PR against the port. This of course prevents synth from being upgraded as well. For reference: lang___gcc6-aux.log

Yeah, I may have something going on on my system. lang/gcc6-aux just failed to build during a synth upgrade-system as well. Looking into it now.

Just for completeness, I'll point you again to the almighty man page -> setuid :) I'm not sure what you mean by logging in as root with security/sudo. sudo is used to run a command as another user(or switch to another user), a lot of times to run a command with elevated privileges(root)...

Windows XP and Windows Vista do not and never have supported GPT. I don't understand why someone would insist on installing different operating systems on the same disk. You are really just asking for problems doing that. As wblock@ mentioned many times in the last few years, and I agree...

Yes, do make sure your device permissions are set correctly to allow reading and writing to the device by your user. That said, cdrecord is a special case in that even when device permissions are set correctly, it still needs to be run with root privileges. From the man page: [...]...

talsamon, it should probably be noted here that local modifications to port Makefiles can undoubtedly affect building some packages at some point depending on what you changed and are outside the control of synth. Maybe that is part of the problem here? I've not had any such problems as your...

I wrote "optional" :)

emulators/linux_base-c6 does not build for me with version 0.98_5 as expected. (Just tried) Not to break up a good conversation, but is the feature for using official packages when possible going to be optional? I assume so, but would just like to know for sure. If that's been mentioned already...

It's not a problem with MATE or something you did wrong. cdrecord needs to run as root to work correctly. There are 3 ways you can accomplish that. Run cdrecord as root as you have been doing. Install, configure and use security/sudo to run the command. Set the setuid flag on cdrecord...

I'm just here to keep you on your toes Chris_H. :D

Just to nitpick a bit, user configuration files for X should be in /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d. It does still work putting an xorg.conf file in /etc/X11 but according to the xorg.conf man page and following hier, /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d is the correct directory to put configuration...

Sure, you could use the -V option with mkisofs when preparing the CD image. From the mkisofs man page: -V volid Specifies the volume ID (volume name or label) to be written into the master block. There is space on the disc for 32 char- acters of information. This...

Indeed it is. :)

Yikes! That seems a lot of work. :) As you said, you could just use pkg and awk in a one-liner, something like the following: synth build/force `pkg info -oa | awk -F ' ' '{ print $2 }'`

This question would be a much better fit on the freebsd-current mailing list. Not that I want to see you go without an answer but the problem with asking questions about CURRENT here is it changes so much so often and almost no one that frequents here has answers. One day a configuration could...

This thread is now over 3 years old and has about reached it's sunset. If anyone has anything further they feel is important to add here it can be reopened but as of now I'm closing it to further discussion.

Ah, ok. I made that assumption based on past experience with pkg and also wasn't aware synth used the -r option when invoking pkg.

Personally speaking I would call that a bug. The pkg-lock man page is pretty explicit:

Let's keep the personal arguments out and follow the Forum rules if discussion is going to continue here.

Understandable. I haven't tested the profile feature(s) yet so it wasn't on my mind when I wrote the above reply. I would think profiles would suffice just fine. Thanks
