pkgs were built using 14.2 until the end of September, and switched to 14.3 from October, as 14.2 is EoL'ed. And at the (almost) same time, quarterly branch switched to 2025Q4. And note that, if you still have pkg for 14.2, most of things except...

Someone would be interested in this post to freebsd-stable ML by Lexi Winter.

Then 14.3 should be not ready for release and 14.2 should still be maintained. A warning could have been nice, I prefer unmaintained, but working 14.2 than not ready or broken 14.3 I am use packages because I have 'only' 4GB RAM and two kern...

It would be "just not yet finished building". www/chromium worked for me on stable/14, at some point same as 14.3 (when it was branched from stable/14). And working on stable/15, too, after I've switched to stable/15. Note that I'm building...

I was reading this while watching TV and eating a sandwich, and even so, it was a complete waste of my time. (cracauer's and cy's as well.) There is a reason why I do not often visit the forums, and this thread is an excellent example. Sigh.

When the only thing the _volunteers_ get is negative feedback, it is completely demotivating. For paid employees, it's different. I agree that regressions are bad and I spend some of my own free time trying to highlight them in Bugzilla. But I...

> I will not be surprised if 16.0 adds some sort of Flatpak-type system, or Wayland, or a systemd-style init nightmare. This is simply FUD. All you are doing is demotivating people who are doing the heavy lifting. For myself, I can either...

So we have 6 pages of fear and loathing by now and the only real thing that is reflected in code that was brought up is pkgbase.

I think I had it with your Rust in FreeBSD claims. What are you doing?

Unfortunately I can not - I am to stupid to type blindly 😅

So, I tried 15.0-BETA1. I failed miserably at first, but as kids nowadays say: !!!!! IT WAS ENTIRELY MY FAULT !!!!! 😈 I tried it in VBox VM (my main desktop is still booted in Alt, still busy compiling 6.16.7 for aarch64 Gentoo in QEMU – don't...

After every update, even minor, I end troubleshooting, or in other way with a broken system. For every 'desktop user' is an web browser unavoidable, and unfortunately chrome is unavoidable: there are web-sites that can only be read with chrome...

Yes, it worked! Thank you for your help (and your patience). :)

This just means that no kmods packages were created for BETA-1 so far and thus ALPHA-5 packages will be used instead. I don't see the problem actually. [9:41][fmc000@tu45b-freebsd ~]$ uname -a FreeBSD tu45b-freebsd 15.0-BETA1 FreeBSD 15.0-BETA1...

You just answer "Y" and proceed. You won't be forced to install anything.

Those other repositories weren't changed. Also, the warning provides you with the suggestion on how to fix it.

Yes it have never failed either. There must be some warning after simulation regarding what will hapen and wait for confirmation before doing/installing anything. You could have avoid the mess. It may happen if some packge/s were deleted earlier...

Nah. The troll in me would tell you to delete your account and go back to Linux - since you're displaying characteristics of that community. But that wouldn't be a constructive thing to do, would it? Re-read my last few posts (and other...

As usual, one has to hold the camera.

I used FreeBSD since 14.1 and afaik always used pkg. I have enough experience Win98/XP days to know any major OS upgrades will likely result in more troubleshooting than a clean-install to the updated version is worth :p I last used 14.3-R-p2...

pkg works just fine – TBH most of the time. For the very rare cases when it's not, there are numerus prevention and mitigation strategies already discussed here ad nauseam (and in the various other sites & docs) RTFM and listen to the more...

I _have_ upgraded to 15.0-BETA1 on two of my systems. Both work perfectly fine.See my post #103.

I made a mistake in the example I posted. The broadcast should be of the same subnet to be correct. I meant for what related to hosts and networks, the alias prefix mask from rc.conf has to match. Though, adding it correctly to networks, makes...

Not sure if I ever touched net/dhcpd, but I am quite sure, that this combination is absolute nonsense option subnet-mask 255.255.255.224; subnet 172.16.1.3 netmask 255.255.255.254 { option broadcast-address 10.0.0.255; } Removed lines may be...

You prove my point. The mods should be less lenient with people like you. Carry on.

I am trying to figure out how the /dev/input directory gets populated with events. When I look at /etc/devd.conf I really don't see where the directory is populated. In /etc/devd/moused.conf I see some of what I would expect but only for mouse...

evdev support is in GENERIC kernel since 2018. Implementations should be earlier, as this commit only touched kernel configs.

Changing the URL to: url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/base_release_0",

Seems to work for me. CTRL+C now does what it's supposed to do and CTRL+Z does not freeze the entire session. Will test more in the next few days.

Like one of the posters on that list, I did pkg upgrade on an ALPHA and didn't get BETA. But unlike them, I just got lazy, wiped it and installed BETA. At present, I'm more concerned about will my usual programs (do the young folk call 'em apps...

The answer was, for the networks and hosts to properly show up in netstat -ir4, that the alias, subnets, netmasks, namespaces and IP's must match across /etc/rc.conf, /etc/networks and /etc/hosts. /etc/networks: home.arpa 10 private...

This post in freebsd-stable ML?

Yeah, I bet a lot of us have a mess of stuff that we just never get to organizing. For what it's worth, I have pdfs directory, which has subdirectories of novels, shellscripting (which contains any tech book, not just scripting) and the...

Because obnoxious tantrums from the likes of you and that Retro person have no validity, nor are they of any real concern with regards to the quality or engineering of the base system. When volunteers spend their time and energy putting work into...

AFAIK evdev

removing and reinstalling solved the issues ...

Well, first example shouldn't be too hard to solve giving that at least one of three is immutable and transcendent to space/time, so that's leaving us with only two rotating, and one of them is immaterial, so doesn't count in gravity...

You don't need to set the whole thing, just the URL is enough: FreeBSD: { url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest" } The other values are taken from /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf (the two files are effectively merged).

Granted, this is not the most often used machine in my house, but as far as I am concerned it just works (with the before mentioned caveats, see earlier post in this thread). It is stable, it doesn't get very warm (I normally use it for "office"...

As with others here, my ~/Downloads is mostly a mess. For books I want to keep and plan to read I use deskutils/calibre. It's great for organizing content, you can even add extra metadata fields, just set Calibre to use external PDF reader of...

It is back as port? As package?

In the above, I've made a mistake, I meant to put the netmask of /12 as that's what's in /etc/hosts. netmask, gives me /32 for everything I've typed yet. I haven't gotten a hang of cidr. Though, either way, any netmask I had above was incorrect...
