    FreeBSD Foundation Flounders on 15 with Rust, pkgbase, and KDE

    The /rescue is just one of the 'non protected' (non vital) packages called FreeBSD-rescue: # pkg info -l FreeBSD-rescue | (head; echo; tail) FreeBSD-rescue-14.1p6: /rescue/[ /rescue/bectl /rescue/bsdlabel /rescue/bunzip2 /rescue/bzcat...

    One thing really scares me - a thing that I did not knew before - and its written in this comment: - https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/issues/2485#issuecomment-3133396711 To quote: So with PKGBASE the pkg delete -af command will WIPE almost all FreeBSD Base System including /rescue tools - so...

    FreeBSD Foundation Flounders on 15 with Rust, pkgbase, and KDE

    I would prefer XFCE or MATE instead of KDE - but that is me. There was even recent pools what FreeBSD users want - and yes - by general they want XFCE over KDE ... and a WM over any DE: - https://reddit.com/r/freebsd_desktop/comments/1m7mnpv/xfce_and_kde_retain_lead_among_freebsd_desktop/...

    Thanks. If you boot 15-CURRENT installer - it even asks you now if you want 'classic' install or PKGBASE install. As for the pkgbasify(8) tool - right now it needs to be fetched directly from its GitHub page. ... and PKGBASE is not limited to 15.x - you can also convert FreeBSD 14.x systems...

    FreeBSD Foundation Flounders on 15 with Rust, pkgbase, and KDE

    You assume that with switch to PKGBASE You will lose the distinction between FreeBSD Base System and third party packages - and it will be like with yum(8) on RHEL or like with apt(8) in Ubuntu ... IT WILL NOT. Its just the Base System instead being 'just a bunch of files' - they will be...

    Poudriere, PACKAGE_FETCH_WHITELIST, and how do I avoid building rust?

    SirDice Thank you for all the things I already tried and NONE of them work ... and yes - I use poudriere-devel package. I did not changed ANY options for LLVM/RUST/GCC/... I use -b latest and they are still built.

    Poudriere, PACKAGE_FETCH_WHITELIST, and how do I avoid building rust?

    This is so fucked up - being forced to build HUGE things like LLVM or RUST with zero need (or sometimes resources) to do that ... Poudriere should finally allow such build - like: use whatever the fuck rust in the packages is available and do not waste time building it .

    Backup Solutions

    I enjoy ZFS since 2008 on FreeBSD - and all my data except cloud backups are kept on ZFS pools. All of them are GELI encrypted. I sync between my primary storage space and 'backup locations' with rsync(1) over ssh(1) or locally. I also got some cloud storage and it offers S3 interface - so I...
