I am attempting to write a script that will automatically install ports that I commonly use.
I can override the options set in the in the Makefile by using OPTIONS_SET=SOMEVARIABLE. So for instance, if I want to configure portmaster to not support ZSH, I would use the command make...
This is not a burning issue, but should I report this somewhere, and if so, what's the most effective method, please?
I was updating the ports on this box to fix the rsync vulnerability, and this is what I have left that I can't "fix":

Good day!
I have a FreeBSD 11.1 + Rsyslog + MySQL installation. And I need a web interface for log view. But almost all manuals suggests loganalyser for this. But it doesn't exist in ports. Maybe deleted some time ago?
So what software I can use for centralize log view through web interface?
Hi I recently upgraded my system from 11.0 to 11.1. I also upgraded my jails with ezjail per this guide, basically using ezjail-admin update.
However, now when I tried to install a port inside a jail, I got this error:
[root@jail_foo /usr/ports/www/node]# make install clean
/!\ ERROR: /!\...
I try to using X11/kf5-frameworks but it's not a full kde5 meta. And I can't using it. It even can't start by "startx". And I want to try using this way:

but I don't know what is jail, like docker? I just want to install KDE 5, I don't want to...
Hey,
poudriere is updating a ports tree, and it's outputting several of these lines:

Hello everyone, I'm a noobie to BSD systems and got some problems with installing tor and virtualbox-ose from ports. My system is 11.1-RELEASE.

Hi there,
I created a new jail via ezjail-admin, and attempted to build devel/llvm50 with the command below
make -DBATCH WITH_DEBUG=yes install clean
I left my laptop running all night and in the morning I saw the build failed at some stage.
My base system (host that the jail is running on) is...
I see DTrace Probes offered as a compile-time option/flag on many ports, and it's selected by default on the very vast majority of the ports for which it's available... As far as I can understand, though, DTrace Probes is just a debugging facility... I never programmed enough to really get...
Hi,
Couple of questions about portmaster.
Given that the documentation and some tools related to the "ports" system regard programs installed from binary package repository as "ports", does that mean:
1. We can use tools like portmaster to manage everything, regardless of the way it was...
Hello,

Hello
I did a make config-recursive on remmina which configured a ton of dependencies but doing a make rmconfig only removes config from the top level remmina port not the dependencies.
I know this because after doing a rmconfig when I redo make config-recursive, I am ONLY prompted for the...
Hi gang!
Introduction (editorial section)
Every once in a while we see new(er) users who get utterly confused with the whole ports collection and the package management system and as a result they're often having a hard time trying to understand how this whole thing actually works.
Now, I...
Hi all,
Does anyone know if there is a shorthand form I can use in scripts to fetch the latest quarterly ports tree using svn?
For packages, EG in /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf, there is this:
url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/quarterly
Which always downloads packages from the newest / latest...
Hi,
I'm after a move and tried to upgrade FreeBSD binaries and some ports. But freebsd-version is 11.1-RELEASE and binaries updated while ports are much newer. I have got 65 lines from pkg version -l '<', for example perl5-5.24.1_1. And here is my proble, I cannot compile...
I am using ports-mgmt/poudriere to compile packages with just the options I need. These are then exported via a webserver for FreeBSD clients to download. One of the packages I build is lang/php71 (with lang/php71-extensions and lang/mod_php71).
Now I also want to build lang/php70, because some...
Hi gang!
Editorial: I've been using ports-mgmt/portmaster for a long time already and I figured it could use a little bit of extra love and attention ;) Also because there is a lot which Portmaster can do, so I'm hoping that briefly showcasing some of those features might be helpful for some...
I've just started using poudriere, and it's awesome; I'm blown away by how easy it makes things. But I'm running into one puzzle I can't figure out.
I created the list of files to give poudriere bulk -f with portmaster --list-origins, on a system with php 7.1 installed, so there are a couple...
Setting:
FreeBSD 11.0 RELEASE
I have binary packages installed using pkg. Works great and fine in itself.
I have installed from source some ports as the options used in the binary version was not what I needed. Works great and fine in itself.
Mixing both as such works as advertised, but I'm...
Is it still bad practice to update installed ports with Portmaster -a or -af? In this 15799 user "phoenix" says, that
Is this information still valid? The FreeBSD handbook recommends just to use:
portmaster -a
and if that fails, then:
portmaster -af
