I have a server running 11.3-p7 that has been upgraded over time since about 2009. When I originally built it, I chose not to use packages and I have been regretting that decision for years due to how much time it takes to handle updates. As I did not initially intend for it to be a server, I...

For one of my projects I need Perl to access data from a database. SQLite3 would be perfectly suitable for my needs, except for the fact that by default SQLite does not know my national characters. For example, a SELECT UPPER(person_name) FROM people; turns all ASCII characters of the name to...

This is my first bout with FreeBSD, having decided to give a non-Linux *nix a whirl (I've installed a dual-boot setup on a laptop, but I'm trying to learn the ropes first on a VM; I've downloaded the .vhd file.) I decided to try to install everything via ports (since I've read that pkg and...

Greetings. I was a BSD user a long time ago, and I just came back to the squad this week. I knew BSD variants are easy to hack and this is what make them awesome! But I have a problem in the process of hacking. I just changed the system name variable in `newvers.sh` file and it's not FreeBSD...

I think I might have solved the Open vSwitch issue that some people have been having (including myself). So, since Open vSwitch was broken for me anyway I decided to do a little "hacking" of the files in the ports tree for OVS. I noticed that the Makefile configures OVS to be built with shared...

Hi, I have recently installed mlterm on my system since it's the best (if not the only) terminal emulator with decent Arabic/RTL support (tried urxvt, but it doesn't play well with Arabic). I use mlterm because my main IRC client is irssi and mlterm works nicely with that in terms of Arabic...

After encountered a bunch of not working pkg-s and other constant problems with them I became curios about how unrightfully forgotten BPI works? Can someone summarize the mechanics? What can be made to create something like BPI with current ports\pkg system?

Hello! I would like some advice on how to port a command-line program that is written in Python. I have a program that runs on the command-line, and is written entirely in Python. It can be built against Python 2.7 or 3.4+ with no problems. It is distributed via PyPi, so I have started...

Hi friends! When installs from scratch new system with llvm 6.0.1 in base, many ports installs other (older) versions of llvm. Is it needed or it is a rudiments in that ports?
