Search results for query: create package

Is there a way to use pkg-create to create a package (for example openjdk17) that when installed does not require any internet access at all? (that is, to include all it's dependencies) Also, can I do pkg-create -a and create a complete repo of my local packages in the same fashion, such as...

You can get a short or long description of all or specific pkgbase FreeBSD-* packages with the pkg-search and pkg-rquery commands. Use package name for specific package description. Short description of all FreeBSD-* pkgbase packages: Long description of all FreeBSD-* pkgbase packages...

fdkaac allows you to convert audio to the aac format it has superior quality to the standard aac encoder and additional options Due to licensing restrictions fdkaac cant be distributed as a port or package However it really quick and easy to build it resources...

Using upstream tarball as-is to build is NOT recommended with some reason. On FreeBSD side, there are several changes affecting upstream tarball to fail builds or causing runtime issues. Ports does needed adaptations with regard to FreeBSD version and/or NVIDIA driver version. NVIDIA doesn't...

I'm fairly certain that I have been through a very similar problem, once or twice in the recent past, but in all honesty, my knowledge of how FreeBSD works is rather limited, but with some general help from others, I was able to get my desktop working again. I know where the headlights and the...

Okay, then ensure you have an synchronized /usr/src, either from the git repository (ensure you are on the branch that matches your release, i.e.: the releng/15.1 branch) or by installing the FreeBSD-src-sys package (easier), pull the ports repository using one of the methods that T-Aoki...

Later tonight I tried to create a more complete and more usable solution (one designed to use switching between bold and regular font to make distinguishing between interactive prompt text and result output text easier, like I alluded to earlier) but unfortunately I've not been able to get that...

Hello! Tcl is among the most elegant programming languages (on a similar level as Lisp/Scheme and in some respects perhaps even better) and Tk is among the easiest and fastest ways to create useful GUIs and so I decided to try to solve this today since I like it. I spent several hours today...

After reading the messages from the package the correct configuration is /etc/inetd.conf dtspc stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/dt/bin/dtspcd /usr/local/dt/bin/dtspcd /etc/services dtspc 6112/tcp sysrc rpc_bind_enbale = YES sysrc dtcms_enable = YES sysrc inetd_enable =YES...

Hi guys! I'm writing this post to provide you a quick step by step guide that I successfully implemented in my laptop after weeks of searching and following the test-error-test=success, it was a headache to me, but I made it. This is my way to give something back to the BSD community. And I...

what's real stage of freebsd now? a weird article. i see the URL. https://distrowatch.com/weekly-mobile.php?issue=20260706#freebsd DistroWatch Weekly DistroWatch Weekly, Issue 1180, 6 July 2026 Welcome to this year's 27th issue of DistroWatch Weekly! People who work with computers...

This note summarizes the main settings and commands used during the setup. Device names can differ between machines, so always check the actual hardware first: pciconf -lv ifconfig cat /dev/sndstat ls /dev/backlight/ sysctl -a | grep -i light dmesg | tail...

I don't: "release" is the value for the -C option, it's not a make target. I need it because I'm running this command from /usr/src, not /usr/src/release. Oh, thanks! This is not in the manual page though. I tried now: # make -C release -DNOPKGBASE -DNODOC DKERNCONF=MY-KERN cdrom but it...

This comment is entirely subjective and lacks objective actionable items one can work on. This is the kind of comments that create tempests in a teapot like a few months ago. You have to be more specific. pkgng ain't perfect but you can open bugs in their issue tracker on github. pkgng is...

Sorry, gonna get wordy/long again. NOTE: this is all based on my understanding of using freebsd-update and ZFS, the workflow works for and makes sense to me (kind of KISS principle), is based on default behavior and does not include operations on GELI systems. The initial BE is a distinct...

yes, via setxkbmap and xkbcomp: setxkbmap -I /path/to/your/.xkb -print | xkbcomp -I/path/to/your/.xkb - $DISPLAY Its usually not a good idea to modify the symbol files provided by the system/package; just create your own file e.g. in ~/.xkb/ and make any modifications there. You can either copy...

Next up, the following commands. We'll destroy and re-create the bectl snapshot because we rebooted just now. # bectl destroy pre-15.1 # bectl create -r pre-15.1 # pkg update Updating FreeBSD-ports repository catalogue... FreeBSD-ports repository is up to date. Updating FreeBSD-ports-kmods...

Hi, I'm following the instructions which I'll detail here. The system uses PKGBASE but there's already an oddity with the first command: custode ~ # pkg which /usr/bin/uname /usr/bin/uname was installed by package FreeBSD-runtime-15.0p10 p10? `uname -a` shows: `FreeBSD my_hostname...

I tried upgrading to Freebsd 15-1 on my Dell XPS 15 but it was a total fail :) I seem to remember the last time i had this issue was because the nvidia driver were still built against the previous version could that be the issue or am i just missing something else Thank heavens for bectl i...
