    Synth woes + How do you remove a package with Synth?

    Admittedly, I was using Synth a bit incorrectly and may have gotten my system into a bit of limbo. That said, Synth is *very* opinionated and not inuitive on the whole. It does seem to work very well, but there are some quirks to say the least. For instance, I have a bunch of packages failing...

    Do not use ports-mgmt/portmaster and other tools who build in the main system

    Please consult Howto build ports with ports-mgmt/poudriere for a set of historically evolved issues concerning the ports tree. Please consult the well-known Recursive Make Considered Harmful for reasons why such tools do not handle the build process theoretically sound -- they do not use make...

    Solved synth question

    Hello, In hope that synth is a better ports building tool than portupgrade I have installed it and started experimenting. Must say that first impressions have been somewhat disappointing. As an example, I tried to upgrade libreoffice with command synth install editors/libreoffice. The long run...

    Synth error after upgrade from 11.2 to 12.0 (RELEASE)

    I am in the same boat as this guy, except I have more than three packages installed and I would really like to get this working if I can. Here is the error I got after upgrading the base system and then using synth to rebuild and reinstall all packages: synth upgrade-system gives Builder mounts...

    Ports "make install" works fine, but synth build fails

    Hello all! I've just installed FreeBSD 11.2-PRERELEASE, and I'm learning to use synth... So, after a portsnap fetch update, I am trying to build firefox 60.0.1 with sndio. Then I would do a simple "make config", enable sndio option and disable alsa, jack and pulseaudio. And, indeed, if I "make...

    devel/py27-setuptools orphan issues

    It appears devel/py27-setuptools was moved to devel/py-setuptools this morning. Since I'm not using binary packages (using Synth), this will not be automatically fixed for me - so I issued the command : sudo pkg set -o devel/py27-setuptools:devel/py-setuptools That went fine, but synth is still...

    Solved ports-mgmt/pkg Upgrade Issue?

    I originally installed ports-mgmt/pkg by doing /usr/sbin/pkg bootstrap and now I'm not sure how to upgrade it. I'm using ports-mgmt/synth to maintain my ports, but the port does not exist in my custom repo. I do not want to install it from the FreeBSD repo, as the I will run into dependency...

    Synth restarting application after update

    I use synth exclusively on my system. It works perfectly, with one exception. Some applications such as "dovecot" will fail after being updated if they are not restarted. How can I get synth to restart this application, in this example "dovecot" after it is rebuilt?

    print/ghostscript9-agpl-base: failed option check.

    Hi. I am trying to get rid print/cups but I am experiencing problems with print/ghostscript9-agpl-base while using ports-mgmt/synth, when OPTIONS_UNSET = CUPS. In any of those scenarios print/ghostscript9-agpl-base build without problems but: DEFAULT options and no CUPS in OPTIONS_UNSET =...

    Solved Synth Question ...

    I'm new to ports-mgmt/synth (just installed) and previously have been using ports-mgmt/portmaster for years. My question is - when I run synth status, it shows : Querying system about current package installations. Stand by, comparing installed packages against the ports tree. These are the...

    gvfs smb does not mount

    Hi everyone, After some of the system upgrades (I'm using synth) SMB gfvs functionality in x11-fm/pcmanfm stopped working. At the closer look I've noticed that devel/gvfs still depends on (and installs) net/samba-libsmbclient which the ports system now says is obsoleted: Port...

    Synth builds all packages even though "fetch prebuilt packages is true"

    Hello! I've always found mixing packages and ports to be the biggest pain point in using FreeBSD. Right now I only have two things I build from ports: audio/musicpd in order to avoid a ton a X-stuff I don't want and sysutils/bareos-server in order to build againt postgresql96 instead of 93...

    Solved Maintaining packages with custom options

    Hi all, I'd like to follow the quarterly package repository (because I value stability and reliability over new features), but I need to have a few packages compiled with custom options, and this results in a problem: Ports does not have a quarterly release, only a "rolling release" of sorts...

    PECL-Redis for PHP71

    Hello! I'm kind of lost while I'm trying to install the new PECL-Redis on my PHP 7.1 installation. I'm using Synth on my base system to build Packages for my jails. I have jails with different apps running different PHP versions (php56, php70, soon also php71). Until recently it was fairly...

    synth: understanding dependencies

    Hi, so far, ports-mgmt/synth has been doing extremely well with all special wishes I had so far :) Unfortunately, now as I try to update deskutils/tine20 to a more recent version, I have a hard time understanding how runtime vs. buildtime dependencies are taken into consideration (if that is...
