Maybe it's because everybody uses ports-mgmt/portmaster, that I only see reports with this lang/perl update, or it's merely because people don't keep their ports up to date. I am using ports-mgmt/portupgrade, and I didn't have any problems, even when lang/ruby19 was updated, and...

I didn't think the movie is going to be bad because of milking (but you're totally on the point with that). I feel that he's like a Hollywood has-been that doesn't know when to stop. He failed as a politician, and now he's trying to go back to what he was doing before, but he's 65 years old...

It builds with clang too, and even with additional CPU optimization flags (-mssse3, -msse4.1). I used script(1) to record the compilation process, found the exactly same line you're showing in your report, and there is no mention of the NO_IDEA flag (which you have). As @SirDice suggested...

I must completely agree with @DutchDaemon. Keep your systems up to date. And even so, don't do things like but consider using -o flag instead, or manually inserting the port path as an argument to portmaster, e.g. portmaster -r /usr/ports/lang/perl5.14, or whichever version of perl you're...

Apart from all the valuable pieces of advice that have already been provided, you could also try compiling in single user mode. Not with just shutdown now, which reverts the current session to single user mode, but to boot from it, like # nextboot -o "-s" -k kernel # reboot After that you can...

Not that it really matters, but since his political career was uncertain, Arny decided to return to acting, according to slashdot. In my opinion, it won't be a very good movie. What do you guys think?

True, hardware plays an important role, however in such tests, they usually double check on the same hardware. The point was, that you can have a very good hardware and the latest kernel and so on, but if your system is poorly configured, an older and cheaper computer that has been properly...

Wow! That's really cool! I didn't know about that! I'll visit it as soon as I have some time! Thanks a bunch!

But the whole point of it would be that it's experimental, so no packages would have to be supported from it, but only (broken) ports (you cannot make a package if a great deal those ports don't even build). Also, no resources would be needed for testing with pointyhat for example -- that would...

Well, I sent the email. In it I also suggested sub-maintainers: people from the community that have been helping to patch the ports up would be listed there when a command like make -C /usr/ports/some/port maintainer has been invoked. When the port would be ready to enter the "good" ports, all...

No, I didn't, but it's a good idea! I'll do that!

Hello! I have a suggestion, which may help decrease the time needed for certain ports to enter into the ports tree. The division of the base system into different forks like 9-STABLE, 8-STABLE, 10-CURRENT, 9.1-RELENG, 9.0-RELENG and so on is a great idea. This way, people can checkout the...

Well, first of all, it's not FreeBSD, it's Debian GNU/kFreeBSD. The following may sound like a rant, but it in fact isn't. I am in a good mood an I am only writing this to try to motivate this community. In my opinion, this can hardly be measured as a test of FreeBSD performance. For several...

Your problem could be that most of your system lies on a USB flash drive. There have been reports that the system cannot boot properly in such cases because of AHCI, or ACPI or something. Normally in such cases the computer failed to boot (properly/at all). I don't know about zfs though and I am...

Try with the GENERIC kernel. Maybe you don't have soft updating enabled (if you use a custom kernel), and so each reboot is giving you this problem. In this case, make sure you have the following options enabled (uncommented) in your kernel configuration file: options FFS # Berkeley...

According to make -C /usr/ports/audio/oss maintainer, the "maintainer" is ports@FreeBSD.org -- so the port is no longer maintained. Judging from freshports, the last update was made at 2007, and I shouldn't be surprised that it doesn't work properly with multimedia/mplayer either. People at...

From what I've read on Debian GNU/kFreeBSD website, it's just the kernel that comes from FreeBSD; world is built from GNU sources (unless there is some program in the world, that is so different from the GNU version and is needed for the kernel and the system to operate safely) -- that's what...

Are you able to boot into the single user mode?

I don't see the entire error, but what I see is (ada0:ata5:0:0:0): Error 5, Retries exahusted (ada0:ata5:0:0:0): Synchronize cache failed (ada1:ata5:0:1:0): FLUSHCACHE48. ACB: ea 00 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 (ada1:ata5:0:1:0): CAM status: CCB request is in progress (ada1:ata5:0:1:0): Error...

Hello! I have a bit of a problem. So far I have been using oss that came with the kernel (modules sound.ko and snd_hda.ko). I managed to use it for listening to music and for usage with my webcam. I wasn't impressed by the sound quality of the base oss, however, so I have been trying to make a...
