Is vscode broken ?

Finished... took almost 3 days long to build this!
I have vscode again, yeah!

The unfortunate news is that VSCode 1.90 was just dropped in ports. The better news: you won't need to rebuild *all* your dependencies to get it.

It's turtles all the way down. Expect a few hundred packages all in.

oh my gawd...

We should have a thread about how to get fast-building hardware cheaply.

Lots of building going on even without -STABLE/-CURRENT.

Get RAM and use tmpfs, then add as many cores as you can. My server box with 64GB RAM and a Ryzen 5 3600 builds quite nicely and it has spinning disks for storage. Using tmpfs makes a world of difference.

Current comparable is Ryzen 5 5500. That's about $80. You can get an an extra two cores and a 7% boost to single-core for about $160 (Ryzen 7 5700)

If I donate new build machines, though, will FreeBSD build more than one version of electron to solve this problem? Since mixing ports and pkg isn't supported and building everything gets to be ridiculous.

seems it is building all the system

For the future: check that you have package fetching enabled in poudriere.

FreshPorts issue reported.

vscode is built with Rust and Rust built with C.
Funny

Fixed, albeit not the issue that was originally perceived.

Found now:

one package – 1.90.0 for FreeBSD:15:latest on AMD64
2024-05-18 fallout for 140amd64-default (maybe negligible, since the port was updated on 2024-06-07 – I'm not checking the status server, someone else might like to).

Heads-up:

Code:

Aug  9 03:10:12 mowa219-gjp4-zbook-freebsd pkg[13358]: vscode-1.91.1_2 deinstalled
Aug  9 03:10:13 mowa219-gjp4-zbook-freebsd pkg[13358]: electron28-28.3.3 deinstalled

That's on FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT. YMMV.

Consider temporarily locking ~~vscode~~ sndio before upgrading other packages.

Committed on Monday: editors/vscode: update to 1.92.0. The linked change log mentioned Electron 30.

Electron – devel/electron29 and greater

For reference https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/electron-for-freebsd.64103/ devel/electron28 is deprecated, will expire at the end of this month. devel/electron29 alone is packaged by the FreeBSD Project. Ports that require devel/electron30 include: editors/vscode – Code - OSS...

Correction: sndio – not vscode:

Without the lock on sndio:

If you create a symbolic link as shown above, proceed with caution:

vscode does run, however I can't guess whether there'll be any negative effect from using a superior version of libsndio.so
remember to remove your symlink when it's no longer required.

Is vscode broken ?
