Synth v1.10 has been released (fast repo generation)

I have long time on the screen what I wrote in the previous post but when I check Synth directory the packages were build but what I saw on the screen was all the time the same - didn't change. Now again working correct. Is it problem with my system?
There are nothing in the logs.
 
The first time you were alarmed that something took a long time to build, longer than you expected, but it built.

I still don't know what you are concerned about. It seems the issue is that sometimes it takes a lot longer to build than you expect? If packages are building and things are correct, what concerns you? it is not clear.

I concern because the package security/gcr and Webkit were build and in the directory but Synth did show that are still building and it was more than one hour and many other packages were build in this time. After one hour Synth screen changed and it start shows again what is building.
 
it sounds like are running synth in a resizable virtual terminal and then you resized the window. Or something else affected ncurses from working, dunno.

Yes, I thought that is something with ncurses. If I am running GNOME than I am checking what Synth doing (ctrl-alt-F?) and going back to GNOME.
But important is that is working :).
Thank you.
 
I don't know gnome. Are you saying you are switching between X and syscons with control-alt-F?

If you primarily use a desktop, I think I'd recommend opening xterm and running synth in a window there (perhaps within screen or tmux) and just stick that window on one of the desktops so you can check it whenever you want. Switching modes like that is probably ncurses doesn't like.

Yes, I do because sometimes I start GNOME and more often Fluxbox. I will do. Thank you and it was very interesting and educational for me, listening your interview:beer:.
 
using the text display would certainly fix the issue. If he wants to continue switching between desktop and syscons and use ncurses, I'd recommend that he run synth inside the screen program and just attach as necessary. I know some people use tmux but I've heard ithat is more senstive to window resizing than screen is. I use screen and it works for me.
 
Some people using synth noticed that libc++ gets rebuilt every time because it fails dependency check. I created a PR 207756 to help address the issue. Here is the latest reply from Dimitry who is maintainer of libc++:

Code: 
Why on earth is your ports tree trying to use the devel/libc++ port, when you are on FreeBSD 10.3-PRELEASE?  This release has libc++ in the base system, and the port should use that instead...

Maybe Marino and Dmitry can contact each other directly to resolve the issue?

Some ports depend on newer libc++ than is available on the base system, same thing as with clang/llvm where the base system ones are not enough.

we've talked about it a couple of times already.
We left it at that I would look at it and fix it, but I never got around to it.
Dmitry doesn't fully understand the situation; he's thinking about it from a different POV and he's deferring to bapt who wasn't all that clear (for dim)
