ports

I am trying to get forgejo running as a service in a jail. When I manually start forgejo as the git user it runs as expected, however attempting to get it to run with the included rc file provided by the ports package it errors out. Forgejo Port rc.d script When I start forgejo manually it...

Hello everyone! I'm using FreeBSD for a few years already, but I've never maintained any port, so the question is probably a little dummy. I want to become a maintainer of lang/swift, since I need it time by time and I'm an experienced Swift developer, so I at least know what is this and how...

Hi. When /usr/ports is populated, whereis searchs for the specified port in /usr/ports/ but i don't have /usr/ports populated and i have a ports tree in a different directory: /poudriere/ports/default. I couldn't find a proper whereis command to search for ports in that directory. I can use...

I'm working on making a program to deal with ports (as a layer on top of ports-mgmt/synth to simplify my use of it). In the course of doing so, while creating class names, method names, etc., I've found that I don't really have satisfying and/or clear terminology for various concepts, so I'm...

In which order should one update/upgrading the FreeBSD components [freebsd (components, world and kernel), pkg, ports] to preserve the integrity of the system?

I'm not sure what happened, but suddenly any attempt to run pkg says ld-elf.so.1: /usr/sbin/pkg: Undefined symbol "fetchDebug". I tried reinstalling it from ports, and I got this error ld-elf.so.1: /usr/bin/fetch: Undefined symbol "fetchRestartCalls", but I managed to download the file it wanted...

I can avoid FreeBSD 14 no longer. Can the ports tree from the release media be updated? Or do I have to start with the Handbook approved method of installing it with git?

This is a perennial question in my mind and also in the forums. What's driving me to ask it again is that I've recently spent some time doing Gentoo and there, I can easily see the tradeoffs - Gentoo allows the admin FULL control over the system and is very minimal and peppy, yet as cutting edge...

Hi all, A question, a few years ago I moved my Desktop machine from Linux to Ghost BSD. This was not advised by someone, but it looks ok, and I was too fuzzed from medication to take the step to FreeBSD or OpenBSD ( had some 20-year-old experience.... and used other Unix OS's (paid ones ))...

Hello there everyone! Sorry if this thread is a duplicate or violates the rules in any way, I researched as well as I could before posting. I realize that the FreeBSD way of ports configuration is by means of an Ncurses option selection menu for each package, however I do prefer as much as...

Hi! https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ and https://www.freshports.org/ ports are the same and are already installed/synchronized by default on fresh install if select ports? If not, how could I install and use them? I'm on 13.2

Any chance of getting urban Terror added to the ports? I followed Vermaden's post for native Urban Terror and it played perfectly. But it would be nice to have the option to pkg install urbanterror. I have an OpenBSD system now and to my shock its available via pkg_add UrbanTerror. Just a...

Hi all! For several days I have been trying to build science/py-tensorflow, but everything stops with various errors. If anyone can build this package with the CPUTYPE?=core2 option and put it in a public place I would be very grateful.

Hi, I have a newbie question related to being careful not to mix the PKG binary approach with the (building from) Ports approach. The handbook warns against using a mix of these two approaches and the likely eventual collision of binaries, but I think I might be reading it too strictly. Does...

So, something aggravating occurred with freebsd a couple days back, where i was attempting to get into graphics programming, i installed glad, and didn't pay attention, and it deleted my entire desktop and every graphical program, this occurred on 14-CURRENT. Would anyone know why? I'd want to...

I have search for an answer but didn't find it. first, a short description: I would like to build ports in a jail. From an example and the handbook suggestion, I have mounted the ports tree (ro) into the jail and have set "WRKDIRPREFIX=/tmp" etc. ... for places that must be writable. Result...

I have been running FreeBSD 14-Current for about a month now and have been enjoying it besides the odd crashes here and there. It is not as many crashes as OpenBSD 7.2-Current was giving me however. I am stuck with 14-Current for now because on my Intel 2.5GB Lan and RX 6600 GPU not being...

I see that openSSL has to be built for tls 1.3 support, but i am not sure of how to do that on freeBSD 13.1 RELEASE.

gnutls-3.7.3_1,1 What do those postfixes mean? I understand the 3.7.3 part but not the "_1" part and the ",1" part. I don't remember them extending to binary packages either.

I see the following problem when I want to update the FreeBSD 12.3 packages: Checking integrity... done (3 conflicting) - boehm-gc-threaded-8.2.2 conflicts with boehm-gc-8.0.6 on /usr/local/include/gc/gc_pthread_redirects.h - libxcvt-0.1.2_1 conflicts with xorg-server-1.20.14,1 on...
