Great. Do we have that as a port, or is it inside their install procedure? Where can I find more details on it, quick google isn't revealing much?

Are you sure? GhostBSD seems to do it, what used to be TrueOS (ixSystems) did the same too

Easily done after the fact, pkg info -Da > messages.txt -a, --all Display all installed packages. -D, --pkg-message Show the pkg-message for matching packages. pkg-info Edit: Didn't you ask this before?

Does anyone have any tips on how to automatically record msgs from pkg install when installing pkgs so they can be referred to subsequently? An alias with additional commands would be useful.

FlipperZero does infrared I believe. https://docs.flipper.net/zero/infrared More Antennas https://swling.com/blog/2022/08/small-unidirectional-loop-antenna-sula-part-2-construction-notes/

Install x11/cde and follow the post install message instructions.

Unix is my IDE

This means changing Python users in lang/python*

For that reason defining a strict rule in the AFFECTS make usable pkg updating without modifying the already existing code of pkg updating

Note that pkg is still under active development. And I think this is why in-base pkg is just a bootstrap tool and actual one is provided via ports/pkgs.

T-Aoki Ok, you are right, there are a lot of things that plays this game and complicate the job, but returning to the initial problem: running pkg updating get me the list of installed ports that I must pay attention before upgrading them. It...

Unfortunately, it's not always correct. There are hidden dependencies that even the maintainer don't notice. This often happenes when the port is using some kind of toolkits and the port itself seemingly using the toolkit only, but some calls...

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

Were you able to get DRM content to play under your system? I'm taking classes online and video in the course won't load due to this issue.

I'm using the 340 driver version it still works for video playback while it has a black screen issues that recently somehow resolved itself when looking through the xorg opengl extension.

A lack of RTFA has been an issue for as long as I can remember. Then again, documentation in general has been in decline across many projects. I personally learned more from The Complete FreeBSD and FreeBSD Diary than just about anything. Even MS...

It's weird because according to what I read in the postfix mailing list, my postfix should be failing with lmdb 1.0 and it doesn't. After deleting my postscreen cache (which then postfix recreates), I can simply query it with postmap -s...

I do not think there is need to go deep in dependencies ('required' and 'depend on'), only the direct port reference of the entry is necessary to check if it is installed and display the entry to the user. For 99% of the ports port/pkg updating...

One way would be to allow multiple (and unlimited) number of AFFECTS lines per entry, terminated by following (first, once multiple lines are allowed) AUTHOR line, forbid wildcards and force one port per line. And maybe something like...

I've been testing my new preamp out... :)

Incidentally, I noticed (via a comment in the thread that freethread linked to earlier) that the Porter's Handbook actually does say what the format of the file (quote) "is" (that being with a machine-parseable AFFECTS line), and moreover gives...

Very cool, again. It is too bad that make doesn't have output to arbitrary file descriptors such as shell has: ls 1>&3 and then redirect from the outside ./myscript 3> myfile I missed this for some ports work long ago.

Thanks! I chose the PPM format, since it is simple and text based. I did have issues coming up with a clean way of outputting an image. Since I set my goal to use absolutely no external binaries (Not even recalling make itself), I had to come up...

Well, on the bright side the LLM in use did have enough specialized knowledge about FreeBSD (without mixing it up with Linux knowledge) to be an overall win. I also have good experience, the major problem being misunderstandings such as which...

There should be an FAQ for Linux users coming to FreeBSD.

But more spindles bring more performance. And smaller disks resilver much faster when a disk fails.

If the summary is appropriate, an email will be automatically sent to the maintainer.

I'm just showing my ignorance.... So, is there a device which can be used to decode, send and receive infrared signals? I guess I'm talking about an IrDA adapter...

The AFFECTS section should be more specific, or add another section to be specific to make pkg updating more specific. It's like making a PR for a port, it's specified to start the title of the PR with the category/port the PR refer to, this is...

You can receive radio signals with SDR receiver and trying to decode them... but TV's ?? TV remote controllers are infrared not radio.

Yes, so that sort of thing is why I suggested a change to "pkg updating" itself that makes it (at least optionally) show things that don't conform. Temporal order of UPDATING versus "pkg updating" aside: As I said in the original post, its man...

I believe pre-commit checks are done by the committer who commit the change. But basically it's "for natural human readers", not for pkg-updating. UPDATING exists in this format from far before pkg-updating appears, more, far before even first...

T-Aoki and rwv37 your reasoning makes sense, pkg updating works halfway. For a user who uses ports this might not be a problem, he completely ignores the command and consults the file /usr/ports/UPDATING directly. For a package user who doesn't...

so that's why my postfix kept complaining about lmdb:verify_cache being unreadable after the upgrade ... I just removed the file and let postfix rebuild it so normality restored.

Exactly, I wonder why such tool doesn't exist yet.

It insists on using bash in all their solutions.

Looks like you're trying to install FreeBSD. Would you like some help?

It's a black box as much as freebsd-update is, the source is available. No one is forced to use packages, source builds will continue to work. If one doesn't want base as packages just build from source. In fact I bet someone will reintroduce the...

TBH, I've been typing a bunch of stuff into AI lately, and I haven't had any luck with it. By the time I know enough to type a functioning prompt in, I've already done the work to find the information in a random forum post. And, at least that...

For some time I used a vdev on a compressed pool for swapping. That went smooth, pretty impressive. The only reason I stopped was I needed system core dumps to debug something. And with the amount of memory the refurbished laptops have that I...

There's also sysutils/desktop-installer. Honestly, I don't see much point in making the setup any easier than it already is. Anybody who needs that last bit of handholding is probably not even thinking about FreeBSD to begin with. They may not...

The handbook is also written to cover 13, 14 and 15 and there are places where it needs some love.

Handbook is written fairly generically, it simply cannot provide instructions for all possible hardware combinations people might have. Helping new users is one of the reasons why these forums exist. But I get it, AI can be useful to look things...
