Due to the new version of Kwiki (say, 2.0 or later, though it is marked ‘0.39’ in the ports tree), I’m deprecating all the p5-Kwiki-* (plugin ports) via marking DEPRECATED.

DEPRECATED= Already bundled in www/p5-Kwiki (0.39 or latter)

First time being a mentor

Few weeks ago I proposed Li-Wen Hsu for a commit bit (ports), and now I was notified via a grant mail. Li-Wen has filed lots of qualified py-PRs, and I think he deserved to be punished.

Welcome Li-Wen. This is also my first time to be a mentor, so welcome myself, too.

Recently, we (ports) committers are keep receiving kris(bot) mailS. These mails are about build errors.

One of them is ‘fail of german/BBBike’, and inside the mail, the problem is not BBBike itself. So, I’m not the maintainer, why I received it? Because BBBike depends on p5-Text-Balanced, which was just upgraded to 2.0.0 by me. And in [...]

The best reference is always PR.
Let’s take a look at ports/96304.
See the “post-patch:” section:

post-patch: @${PERL} -pi -e ’s/^our (Ww+);/use vars q($$1);/o;’ -e ’s/^ours+(Ww+)(?!;)/use vars q($$1); $$1/o;’ -e ‘undef $$_ if /^s*(no|use) warnings/o;’ files_you_need_to_patch_for_perl_5.00503
Okay, that should fix lots of ports which broken in perl 5.00503. Examples of error like:

[ports] devel/porttools

I just wondering why some people don’t like to use devel/porttools to generate ports/ PRs and use devel/portlint to test your ports. I’m not talking about those who didn’t know about devel/porttools or devel/portlint.

Just install it. Type ‘man port’ and ‘man portlint’, you will know how they help you (to generate qualified PR).
The most used [...]

I’ve made top with jail id support. I start to think adding similar functions to other programs.

fstat is the victim. I decide to let fstat can accept jid and then display active files according to the specified jid.

% cd /usr/src; patch < patch_fstat_jid
