Ha Ha! I’m clsung

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 winner is ‘HEADS UP: FreeBSD 4.11, 6.0 EoLs coming soon‘.

I just felt frustrated when dealing with something 4.x….

Enough… Let’s take a break….

As a ports committer, that means I have to commit myself instead of taking(or submitting) new PRs. Hmm… that’s not that bad

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:

Could not eval ’

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 [...]

It’s a doc/ PR, good. And that’s what I want

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.

Here comes the patch.

To apply this patch, you must rebuild your kernel.

% cd /usr/src; patch < patch_fstat_jid
% make [...]

Daniel Gerzo asked if top can have a column to display jid last week. So I spend my lovely weekend wink to do the job.

Here is the patch. How to apply?

% cd /usr/src
% patch < patch_top_jid2
% cd /usr/src/usr.bin/top; make clean install clean

Then try either
% top -j
or toggle with ‘j’ when you’re using top.

NOTE: since this [...]

Just as what ports/97985 said, serveral gnome-related ports renamed. How it caught my attention is the renaming from pkgconfig to pkg-config, since my tinderbox reported lots of error. But fine, now I solve it (by simply rebuild them all).

A question arised. Why these changes didn’t mention in ports/UPDATING?

Don’t follow me? Read this.
