Another option would be to grab -STABLE from another computer and transfer it using CD/DVD or a thumb drive.

There are plenty of ideas from FreeBSD Summer Projects. Some of them have already been chosen as GSoC projects though.

Posting to the freebsd-net@ mailing list might help, too.

For installation of FreeBSD download 8.0-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso or 8.0-RELEASE-i386-dvd1.iso.gz (can be found at ftp://ftp.tw.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386/8.0/). You might want to pick a mirror nearest to you for better download speeds.

DD also mentioned the config file of portmaster. It might be the problem.

I'm also using 2.22, and portmaster works as expected.

Which version of portmaster are you using?

SUJ is an excellent feature. Won't have to wait for fsck any more :e.

I'd go with RELENG_8_0 as well until you're familiar enough to solve problems that come up. It's stable enough, and you shouldn't be missing any major features.

As far as I know, L7 filtering isn't reliable and accurate all the time, so not many applications support it (might have a big impact on performance as well). Perhaps just blocking the port or IPs would be sufficient.

It looks like you didn't configure userdb prefetch properly. Try taking a look at Prefetch User Database. Also, do dovecot -n if you want to paste Dovecot's configuration.

Replace udp/tcp with either tcp or udp.

Can you post the actual contents of the log? Also check the owner and permissions.

PF is one possible solution. Check out mod_security as well.

It's quite true that greylisting does cause problems since some mail servers don't retry. However, this shouldn't be a problem since Postgrey keeps a whitelist of servers that have problems.

If enough people are interested, I may be able to provide hosting for a wiki.

Although I agree with fronclynne, I think a community wiki would be a great idea. This way, people can contribute docs easily, without going through the process of submitting PRs and waiting for someone to commit the changes. I've sent a few PRs before, and I have to say I had to wait quite a...

I just skimmed through the upgrade notes, and it seems that the changes shouldn't affect too many people. Most of them are just new features. This page lists all the incompatible changes: Backward Incompatible Changes.

The changes will probably be documented in /usr/ports/UPDATING.

Alex (the maintainer) stated on freebsd-ports@ that the devs of PHP told him that support for 5.2 will be dropped soon, so there won't be a port for PHP 5.2.
