Yes I expect Linux is the same re mixing source and packages. I also run a Debian SID system, which is a rolling bleeding edge release, so whenever I feel like upgrading I just issue a sudo apt update and then a sudo apt upgrade command, with occasional sudo apt autoremove. I keep it up-to-date...

hm... i'm not sure if this is something we want to commit to supporting long-term, which would probably be necessary if it's documented in the Handbook since someone will find a way to rely on it. going in the other direction (dist sets -> pkgbase) will only be supported for 15.0, and maybe...

nope, same results: # delete poudriere jail -j freebsd_14_3_amd64_nox -C all -d # create fresh jail poudriere jail -c -j freebsd_14_3_amd64_nox -v 14.3-RELEASE # bulk build poudriere bulk -j freebsd_14_3_amd64_nox -p default -f /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/port-list [00:00:00] Creating the...

Hmm, looks like you're right, mariadb doesn't create a symlink for that one. I wanted to test it in a VM by manually making one but it turns out even manually installing all the dependencies and using install -M still refuses to not install mysql... FreeBSD-Test# pkg install -M...

Exactly, with thick jails, but with thin jails, much less space is wasted. Both have their pros and cons. I personally prefer thin jails. See also: * View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAJ7RzfPaLA *...

I'm not writing this to troll. I read reviews on "The Register" and don't understand why the attacks have such severe consequences? Why isn't the security paradigm for critical infrastructure being rebuilt? Why do convenience and comfort dominate over security system add-ons? Why is the entire...

for now the best way to find the available set packages is to run pkg search FreeBSD-set- and look at descriptions. i'm working on a manpage for this, but it hasn't landed yet. you can't use rc(8) without a shell, so there's no way to do that. theoretically you may be able to convince pkg(8)...

thank you for the instruction. I will try this immediately and report to you soon. EDIT: weird. the port compilation is success. But after flashing to microSD, nanopi still cannot find u-boot and unable to boot to FreeBSD. I copied dtb file to EFI partition and hook manually from original...

I will document how to build your own custom port for Nano-Pi R2S. This does not guarantee that everything will work but it is a start. I am going to leave the method you install ports tree up to you. There are many. So the first step for me is to find if U-Boot supports this platform. I am...

Original article here. Consider this when replying. Written as part of the FreeBSD Project’s 1st Quarter 2025 Status Report, check out the highlights of what we did to help FreeBSD last quarter: The FreeBSD Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to advancing FreeBSD...

yeah, if you use snapshots. Boot environments are also great, they are basically a special use case of snapshots. I'd suggest reading the manpages beforehand, and map out how you're gonna do that. Nope. Combining ports and packages is a bad idea if the versions are too far apart. Besides, the...

Run a big X11 WM and you get all those nice xdg dirs, Pictures, Documents, Templates, Bullshit in your home directory, with extra hassle needed to remove it. Run a package manager for a new language, without knowing you should create a config to turn off the default behaviour, and there, another...

{DVD}/packages/repos/FreeBSD_install_cdrom.conf seems to do exactly the same, when copied to /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/, except they forgot to include the bit that disables kmods.

It's simpler to just disable that FreeBSD-kmods repository. Create a /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf: FreeBSD-kmods: { enabled: no } I have a custom package repository, so I've disabled both "FreeBSD" and "FreeBSD-kmods" repositories. Everything should come from my custom repository...

I'm not able to compile this port anymore on my workstation amd64 : # cd /usr/ports/sysutils/u-boot-khadas-edge-v # make https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/jg9YrSxPrP/ what could be the problem ? it happens also with a lot of u-boot-* ports. thanks.

in fact, even debian are pieces.:-/( or, one true thing, all Linux distribution are pieces.) normal guy just need a choice to get official GUI. well, if “Stuff like plugging in an external drive r/w, phone MTP, and wifi connections.”, it be much better.

🤪 ...interesting definition of no(r)mal: KDE unavoidable by default. If so I prefer to stay an eccentric maniac. Then pick one Linux distro - the right one for you. MacOS was also a choice. Or Windows. (It's pretty stable these days; we're not dealing with 95/98 anymore.) What's wrong with...

This solved the original problem of Perl5.40, and also maybe not needed anymore. (Perl 5.42 is used) I now run in some new troubles, (libxslt deprecated for example) or some recursion problems between gobject-introspection-bootstrap and glib (===> glib-2.84.1_3,2 depends on file...

I use two solutions. Traditionally, the same one Kent Dorfman does: I make sure that every computer I use has a "/usr/local/bin/python3" that works. Why python3? Because I never want to run Python 2 by mistake any longer, since all my scripts are now converted to version 3. Why /usr/local/bin...
