Hello there! I've just upgraded from 14-STABLE to 15-STABLE: $ uname -r 15.0-ALPHA1 As part of that, I reinstalled pkg with pkg bootstrap -f and was just about to perform a pkg upgrade, but it reported me the following: Installed packages to be REMOVED: ... ungoogled-chromium...

After what I said in Xorg meta port extremely bloated with linux crap, I have considered making a xorg-basic meta port that is only x11-servers/xorg-server, x11/x11-apps, x11/xorg-libraries, x11/xbitmaps, x11-fonts/xorg-fonts, x11/xdm, and x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa. I don't have much time on...

Example: pkg version -P -vl "<" tells me --> aide-0.18.6_1 < needs updating (port has 0.18.6_2) Package pkg search aide-0 shows --> aide-0.18.6_2 File and directory integrity checker Ports cat /usr/ports/security/aide/distinfo --> (aide-0.18.6.tar.gz) ? How can I...

This was a topic that I felt needed it's own thread. You've probably heard of X11Libre, and its backstory till now. My position on the topic is that we need a well maintained X11 server with good security features, And That's X11Libre. I want this thread to be a place dedicated to technicalities...

I need to install Geany 2.1 which is still not available in the ports tree; should I compile the source through Poudriere or I am overthinking about it? What do you recommend? Thanks... 🙏

Hey folks, I'm with problems to perform a make on a port on nullfs ports collection. Some LIB_DEPENDS is not built. I explain: I git clone ports into /usr/ports-development/ on my host. After I zfs clone thick jail named jdevelopment. So, I nullfs /usr/ports-development/ into...

Hi, I've got a new installation of 14.2-RELEASE and elected to install ports as part of the install. I then installed devel/git. Now I want to update the ports tree (with git). I read the Handbook, possibly incompletely, and could not discover how to do this. When I run git I get the...

Hello, I'm using freebsd to check the raid card, but I found https://www.freshports.org/sysutils/arcconf/ This toolkit can no longer be installed, its source code download connection seems to have expired. I like the package management method of ports, but users seem to be powerless in the face...

Hi forum! I hope i set this thread in the correct category. I'm using code::blocks as my IDE in FreeBSD 14.2 STABLE, and when i run code in it, let's say this one: #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { cout << "Enter a number: "; int x{}; cin >> x; cout << "Your...

I've managed to install 14.2 on a new i5 NUC13 and pkg install and configure a few things, but now I need guidance. I want the latest Go 1.4.2 and GStreamer 1.26.0. I think they're in Ports. One other thing: why use the Go port in favour of just following the instruction on go.dev? Thank you.

Hi everyone, I recently noticed that the postfix-current-mysql and postfix-current-pgsql packages from the FreeBSD package repository seem to be missing MySQL and PostgreSQL support, despite their names suggesting otherwise. I usually build mail/postfix-current from ports with MySQL enabled...

Hi. I am trying to port ytDownloader to FreeBSD. I am getting error code 1 without any given information. In old version of that WIP port, it was not giving a error like this. You can find old port in 279372 I attached port directory as a zip and log of make. How can we analyze the problem...

Hi. I am creating a port that's written in python. IIRC, i was able to run it before but i don't remember how i was able to run the executable binary. Now, it doesn't even seem to create a executable binary. There is __init__.py in source code root but i don't think i should move this as a...

Hello, I've been noticing some strange behavior with the ports lately. Indeed, following the end-of-life of misc/getopt, I uninstalled it manually via a make deinstall clean and then installed its suggested replacement, devel/util-linux. Just to be sure, I recompiled/installed the port that...

Hi, I need to build an older version of port A. Let's say pkg is v2 and I need v1. So I noted down the ports tree commit for that v1, called c1, checked it out and built with poudriere. Works fine. Now I need to build port B. Problem: port B at commit c1 is borked. It is fixed in commit c3...
