Ports

Next question from a basically novice maintainer
OK, I'm trying to set up tinderbox to validate the port I maintain and another that I'm attempting to put together (well, technically to update since the maintainer has not responded to my inquiry). How do I set up ports trees for individual ports and their dependencies? The README only shows how to pull a full p... 6 Aug 2010 23:39

Port stuck in the pipe
About two months ago I submitted a PR for a new port (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=147768) From the tracking page it looks like it got bounced around a little and then didn't go anywhere. It's a game, so I understand it being a low priority, but I'm wondering if there is anything I can do to help ... 6 Aug 2010 19:17

Trying to use the USERS and SHAREOWN functionalities
Are there any examples of how to use the USERS functionality together with the SHAREOWN functionality in a port makefile? I'm working on updating the ecartis port to use standard functionality for its user ID, but can't seem to tell how to make sure that the USERS are created before files are installed, and that i... 6 Aug 2010 18:12

Stepping down from my ports
Dear porters, unfortunately I need to step down from all the FreeBSD ports that I currently maintain, namely: audio/ices0 audio/linux-shoutcast audio/shoutcast benchmarks/nbench devel/libgee games/avanor games/crimson games/wrogue irc/minbif misc/apparix multimedia/gpodder net-im/pino net-mgmt/nagios... 6 Aug 2010 19:17

games/connect4 segfaults.
Hi, I just wanted to try games/connect4 but it segfaults here on FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE and amd64. It's a long backtrace so I think you should try it by yourself. Kind regards. -- Demelier David _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.or... 7 Aug 2010 15:50

keep-alive option for sudo in portmaster
While updating ports some take a long time to compile and when it finally comes time to install I need to type password again. Is there an option to prevent that? Smth like running $ sudo true would be enough to update time stamp. They're per tty by default, anyway. __________________________________________... 6 Aug 2010 20:23

i keep *trying* to move from portupgrade to portmaster
I've been using ports-mgmt/portupgrade pretty much ever since it started to exist. Unfortunately portupgrade seems to be pretty much "abandonware" so I've been told to move on to portmaster. Despite the very long manpage I can't seem to be able to achieve the following thing with portmaster: $ portupgrade --batc... 13 Aug 2010 15:46

FreeBSD Port: mysql-gui-tools-5.0r14_3
mysql-gui-tools seems to have a dependency on mysql version 5.0. Just wondering if it is possible to build mysql-gui-tools for mysql version 5.1!
