When booting up from a memstick img, the system goes straight into a dialog about starting bsdinstall. How is that achieved? What scripts get run?

Thank you, running gitup ports again fixed this issue. Marking this as solved.

Are there any issues with the git repo today? After running gitup ports this morning, almost all my packages are orphaned. [user@localhost ~]$ sudo gitup ports # Scanning local repository... # Host: git.freebsd.org # Port: 443 # Repository...

Found some old code from four years ago and managed to build a PXE bootable ISO of v10.1-RELEASE-amd64. There's no added packages or configuration yet, but will try to figure what is involved.

the below patch makes a clone command for ports to use 300mb less ram creates a backing file during unpack_objects() and only keeps the offset in the file in the stored object. (object->buffer is kept null) when the object buffer is needed it is...

Thank you very much for finding this and taking the time to write a patch. I ended up rewriting append_string() to remove the excessive buffer allocation as the issue affected (though not nearly as bad) everything that used that function. Thank...

Where do we find the full hash? Beefy16 shows the latest package build for 130amd64-default is ad49ee98c4b6 which I assume is the first part of the hash but gitup doesn't like it: curlew:/root# gitup ports -w ad49ee98c4b6 # Host: git.freebsd.org...

I definitely didn't say that automated static analysis is useless. Matter-of-fact, I have been pushing for it in various settings (typically at work). But I also don't think that it is a panacea. To quote one of the two best books on software...

The birth time (a.k.a. btime) is a relatively recent addition to Unix; it came from Windows, and was initially implemented in Unix file systems to help with serving file systems to windows clients. Please don't call it "creation date", since...

Hmm. You're right. It only works for make that way.

The btime timestamp was not historically present on UNIX systems and is not currently supported by most Linux filesystems. From Linux' inode(7) As far as I know POSIX only defines ctime, mtime and atime. If you're...

Some usage tips then perhaps. Use ZFS, this is a no-brainer, if you have ZFS configure poudriere to use it. Creating a clean jail for a job is MUCH faster if it can just clone a jail. Enable TMPFS. This will also speed up building as the...

Similar to how ezjail or bastille does, create a base jail and use links to mount or direct the base jail to a common image. Because FreeBSD has a nice and clear split between the OS en third party applications this works rather well. A LOT more...

Do you have another computer? Maybe you can take out the hard drive of your notebook add put it in a USB enclosure... Although the disk is likely to have an IDE connector so it's worth finding an appropriate enclosure like this one...

It doesn't have a DVD drive either, so I assume it's an external DVD device? And it should be able to boot from an USB stick. Note that with 13.0-RELEASE i386 is now Tier 2.

Yes, it's confusing. I wouldn't worry about it for now -- it's purely optional at this point. But the following commit might make this easier in terms of reducing the amount of scope (I've heard some packagers in Linux distros needing to...

That's why it's optional at compile time for now. I'm either going to kick out FvwmPrompt and form something like "FvwmGoodies" which includes all these external programs, or I'll make more of an effort in increasing Go's use. The original aim...

I look forward to having a proper play with Fvwm 3 :) It seems strange to me to randomly pull in Golang for a small module. Were the current languages in Fvwm (Perl and C) not enough for a certain task?

These two have nothing to do with each other. poudriere.conf is for configuring poudriere, it defines how the application itself operates. make.conf is for setting generic build time options. Some options in poudriere.conf to define how ports...

Actually, it doesn't fix your issue. All this does is create the bridge but now it doesn't get an IP address anymore. ifconfig_bridge1="addm igb3 addm igb4 addm igb5 inet 10.11.17.129 netmask 255.255.255.192" That fixes the issue. Or to make...

I could make this a lot easier by using Go's vendor modules, that way I'm bundling known version which work, in the repository, which would make packaging those a non-issue. Would that work for you? Thomas

If you add your user to the operator group you can shutdown/reboot without requiring root access.

ACLs might prevent root from writing/reading.

Yes, I know. But it's my LAN ;)...Anyhow what would be responsible for all these warning msgs? Sounds as though permissions are wrongly set somewhere...

So everyone and everything that writes to the share writes as root? That's not really safe you know.

This is usually a BIOS setting. Pretty much every computer has a power button.

It's worth noting sysrc isn't confined to /etc/rc.conf. For example, if you prefer using /etc/rc.conf.d/, there's the -f flag. sysrc -r /etc/rc.conf/sshd sshd="YES" It can be used in other places too, such as /boot/loader.conf.

Zirias: You have enough RAM, the intermediate files are probably being kept in file system cache. And you have a reasonably fast file system, with the speed of 3 hard disks for writes, 4 for reads. And not very many cores. Still, I'm surprised...

kldload if_urndis, ifconfig ue0 and change default route. Always use it when I am out and about with laptop, phone and no wifi that I want to use.

Not sure. I had no trouble maxing out all my cores running Poudriere jobs. What's the load average during your runs?

sshguard just adds to the table with a command similar to this: pfctl -t sshguard -T add <ip address>. The tables from PF are stored in memory, so you can easily manipulate them. You'll need a rule like this: block in quick on $ext_if from...

Thanks for clearing that out SirDice

Why the question mark? Make will spawn compiler processes. Do you see clang or clang++?

I've found it. I think. Done adduser and the desktop works, so something somewhere in the configuration is stopping the desktop working for existing users. Incrementally went through and found it. Deleted the contents of ~/.cache/sessions and...

Trypkg upgrade -f libexo (see UPDATING). Too bad, pkg updating isn't usable without ports (or downloading /usr/ports/UPDATING manually) :'‑(

I just had this problem with xfce being broken on my laptop. It is strange that I didn't have any problems on my desktop computer. I did both pkg upgrade -f libexo and cleared out the session cache. Now it is all working. Not sure if one or...

Compiles will probably not do it; for most programming languages, make is IO limited, no CPU limited. With a very good file system and very fast disks (something like NOVA or Strata, on top of Optane DIMMs) you might have a chance; but the kind...
