notmuch and Samba server conflict

Hi folks,

I have a FreeBSD 14.3-RELEASE-p7 and the ports on latest.

For years I have a running setup to sync a remote mailbox locally and index the messages with notmuch. Most recent version in the ports is notmuch-0.39_1.

Now I need to install Samba server, most recent version is samba423-4.23.4. When I install Samba via pkg (all my packages are installed via pkg, not compiled from the tree), pkg removes notmuch due to talloc (talloc243-2.4.3 [FreeBSD] conflicts with talloc-2.4.1_1 [installed] on /usr/local/include/pytalloc.h).

I could install notmuch via /usr/ports, but with the next pkg update, it would remove the Samba server and reinstall notmuch via pkg. I know I could lock the packages but this is not ideal due to manual update and patch monitoring and the mixing of pkg and ports.

Any advice on this?

TIA!

A thick or a thin, that's not the question. Well, if you have only one jail, there is no point for a thin one. It's just a matter of separate user land between host and the software you want to install. The basic jail uses the network stack of the host. Its interface get an ip alias for each jail.

Jail is a solution for your problem, probably not the only one. It means to explore this technology. You're not obliged to set it "by hand". You can use one of the several softwares available to help you in this way. Anyway, you have to spend some time just to see.
