My current issue revolves around apache24 and gitea and a few other ports requiring postgresql12-client as a connector, which blocks the installation of postgresql14-client needed by postgresql14-server to play around with some of the newer features in my home lab, and I'd be curious about a...

I have built xorg from ports and it required python3.7 and in the process installed py37-setuptools (which isn't even a specific official port, there is only py-setuptools). Now whenever I try to build something that requires python3.8 and py38-setuptools (default build from py-setuptools port)...

Hello, I have been trying to get OpenCL working and found out I needed graphics/drm-fbsd12.0-kmod in order to get OpenCL recognize my GPU. The problem is, that module only works if it's built from ports and crashes when it's installed from pkg. The other issue is for number of reasons I can't...

Hello everyone, With the upcoming transition from Subversion to Git, I've been plugging away at building "gitup", a replacement for net/svnup and I'm happy to report that I've got a working "git clone" prototype. Looking back at when I was writing net/svnup, one of the things I wished I had...

As an example, I am building vlc with x264 and x265 support. I need to answer questions for all of its dependencies which is quite cumbersome. I have tried using portmaster and that appears to help with the configuration, but I'd still like to be able to do it in a non-interactive way. This...

I'm looking to use all cores when compiling ports. I notice some ports build with 8 jobs, which is ideal since I have 8 cores. Some seem to build only with one (gcc9). This is with default settings, not trying to override anything (yet). Does MAKE_JOBS_NUMBER default to the number of codes? Or...
