I don't remember hearing > anything about it! > Well, nope but I learned this from the authors of apsfilter and in the apsfilter 4.9 delta that I have uploaded to ftp.freebsd.com under /pub/FreeBSD/incoming/aps-4.9delta.tar.gz, the README.TeX consists of the following info: Hi there! Anyone following the development of TeX and friends more closely will have realized that SOME versions of dvips are NOT able to deal with the -D option anymore correctly. This option used to tell dvips which resolution should be used for the fonts or to create new fonts via MakeTeXPK. So we supply the small script setup_dvips.sh to create small config-files that are used by dvips. A rather long email-thread with Thomas Esser (check out teTeX for his real work!!) helped to take care of some exceptions, and this is the "small" result. To use dvips with apsfilter just run ./bin/setup_dvips.sh as root for EACH Printer you intend to use, it'll create small config-files for your printers that are read by dvips. Another drawback with newer versions of dvips is the impossibility to create fonts while being executed from lpr due to some small bug in dvips. The only "workaround" is to create missing fonts with xdvi or dvips from the commandline before printing the document, all other functionality isn't affected, meaning you still are able to print dvi-files with ps-includes if your apsfilterrc is setup correctly. Have fun, Thomas & Andreas Again Thanks to Thomas Esser who helped clarifying lots of hidden details. According to Andreas and Thomas, the TeX (web2c) FreeBSD has in ports is broken and they suggested to use teTeX instead. > And is there any reason for having netpbm but not pbmplus? > Hmmm, netpbm is part of the FreeBSD-ports collection and pbmplus isn't and also netpbm is the same code as pbmplus and a more complete package but netpbm lacks the ppm stuff that pbmplus has... > Gary > Cheers, Vince vince@kbrown.oldcampus.yale.edu UCLA Physics/Electrical Engineering From owner-freebsd-ports Sun Apr 2 17:54:22 1995 Return-Path: ports-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id RAA17289 for ports-outgoing; Sun, 2 Apr 1995 17:54:22 -0700 Received: from kbrown.oldcampus.yale.edu (root@kbrown.oldcampus.yale.edu [130.132.128.124]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with SMTP id RAA17283 for ; Sun, 2 Apr 1995 17:54:21 -0700 Date: Sun, 2 Apr 1995 20:53:43 -0400 (EDT) From: -Vince- To: FreeBSD-ports@freefall.cdrom.com Subject: xboing Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: ports-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I noticed on ftp.freebsd.org in /pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/ports there is xboing 2.3 tar gzipped archive there while the current port still uses the 2.2 version...

You may have noticed the /usr/ports/japanese directory grow into a pretty impressive heap recently, with a lot of help from my friends in Japan (especially Nobuhiro Yasutomi) who send me ports of various packages. This is good. However, Japanese isn't the only language that requires special treatment, and we're severely lacking support for the other two of the so-called "CKJ" major multi-byte languages. This is bad. Also, one of the intentions of making the /usr/ports/japanese was to eventually have /usr/ports/chinese and /usr/ports/korean develop alongside it. This is exciting. Right now, the only program that I'm aware of that understands Chinese or Korean in the ports tree is mule, and it is also a pretty crippled version due to my virtually non-existent knowledge of the respective languages. This is sad. So, we need help. If any of you have a FreeBSD-2.0 or later machine, and use those languages on your computer (or at least speak them ;) regularly, please contact me. I'd like to have at least one person for each of Korean, Traditional (Taiwan/HK) Chinese and Simplified (Mainland) Chinese (sorry, don't even know how to call them...can I just say Big5 and GB?). Of course, having more people will only help.... Also, if somebody is interesting in supporting other languages, you are very welcome too. Andrey Chernov (ache) has already done a lot of work to make lots of system software 8-bit clean, so European language users shouldn't need too much work (or so I believe). Thanks.... Satoshi P.S. For Traditional Chinese, there is an ftp site (netbsd.csie.nctu.edu.tw:/pub/packages-jdli/source) that already carries some stuff we can use, so check it out.

I was referring to 5.001 (without patches) before, and have since tried 5.000. I checked the unofficial "official" patch kit for 5.001, nothing in there seemed relavent to my problem - so for now I've left it out. What version gcc were you using? Has anyone successfully compiled this on SNAP0322 using gcc 2.6.3? I'd really like to get this running, but I'm stumped. I don't suppose that I could talk someone into making a binary package?

You should probably find and fix as many of the problems as you can with 5.001 and get them sent back to Larry so that 5.002 will not have these problems.

I solved them with a few small tweaks to the config file and 3 source files. Things behave exactly the same on the new March 22 SNAP, so I figure the port was done for FreeBSD 2.0 and things have changed in the SNAP releases. Would the person who did the elm port please contact me so I can give him my patches and let him test it before releasing it? I'm not that familiar with BSD UNIX and have very limited time to test it myself. There were some changes involving the TIMEZONE handling stuff so I'd rather someone who knows what they are doing look at this first. Raju -- Raju M.

I'm not sure if I follow your logic here. Just because a piece of software is unstable doesn't mean we can't make good use of it. Considering the number of people having trouble compiling it, I don't see why we shouldn't make a port. (Also, some people desperately need/want to run Satan by themselves before their system is broken in....) Yes, a binary package is fine but won't really help people who want to take a look and fix the bugs. Also, given the nature of people's reports, it seems like it is quite a work to make it compile/work on all different versions of FreeBSD-2.x (2.0R, 0210, 0322, -current, with or w/o gcc 2.6.3), so we need to coordinate our efforts.

I passed along Bruce's suggestion that older, buggy printf()'s would output a "0" instead of a "0." and that perl was relying on this behaviour.

But those who absolutely *need* perl5 can still build it themselves, as long as they know about the bugs when using it with the gcc 2.6.3 shared libraries. I'd rather wait for a less buggier version to be placed into ports/packages for the FreeBSD masses. I have not heard any particularly compelling reason to upgrade to perl5 from perl4036.

This is true. I only have access to 950322 machines now and a patch to get the perl extensions to compile should amount to no more than a well-placed sed command that filters the source before gcc hits it. It still doesn't fix the some of the number formatting problems elsewhere in perl (which cause the failure of certain tests in the testsuite). I'm afraid my C hacking skills aren't good enough to tackle that last problem though, so I have to content myself with mailing a bug report off to Larry and hope he'll come out with a patch himself. -- Brian ("Though this be madness, yet there is method in't") Tao taob@gate.sinica.edu.tw <-- work ........ play --> taob@io.org From owner-freebsd-ports Thu Apr 6 06:53:51 1995 Return-Path: ports-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id GAA27019 for ports-outgoing; Thu, 6 Apr 1995 06:53:51 -0700 Received: from palmer.demon.co.uk (root@palmer.demon.co.uk [158.152.50.150]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with ESMTP id GAA27011 for ; Thu, 6 Apr 1995 06:53:41 -0700 Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by palmer.demon.co.uk (8.6.11/8.6.11) with SMTP id OAA01065 ; Thu, 6 Apr 1995 14:30:37 +0100 X-Authentication-Warning: palmer.demon.co.uk: Host localhost didn't use HELO protocol To: Chuck Bacon cc: ports@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: Error in GUIDELINES In-reply-to: Your message of "Thu, 06 Apr 1995 08:10:09 EDT." <199504061210.IAA02118@upcoming.dcrt.nih.gov> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-ID: <1061.797175036.1@palmer.demon.co.uk> Date: Thu, 06 Apr 1995 14:30:37 +0100 Message-ID: <1062.797175037@palmer.demon.co.uk> From: Gary Palmer Sender: ports-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk In message <199504061210.IAA02118@upcoming.dcrt.nih.gov>, Chuck Bacon writes: > #ifdef _HAVE_PARAM_H > #include > #endif >which is wrong.

Well, lsof is capable in displaying much more than fstat by default, to the point that other user's privacy might be invaded, so I decided to restrict the output. `lsof' uses the kernel name cache to get the file name associated with an open descriptor (if any). fstat, on the other hand, limits itself to the mountpoint of the file unless you specifically give the file name as an argument. For example, here are two lines from fstat about me and my vi editor: | mbarkah vi 10325 3 /usr2 3920 -rw-rw-r-- 0 r | mbarkah vi 10325 5 /tmp 4 -rw------- 0 rw However, here are the corresponding output from `lsof': | vi 10325 mbarkah 3rW VREG 4, 13 0 3920 /usr2 -- | m/mbarkah/verypersonalfile | | vi 10325 mbarkah 4u VREG 4, 0 0 7834 / -- | var/tmp/vi.recover/vi.010325 Notice that lsof actually shows which file I'm editing, whereas fstat has no such information. Another example.... here's what fstat shows about my working directory: | mbarkah csh 10126 wd /usr 92285 drwxrwxr-x 512 r `lsof' goes further than displaying only the /usr mountpoint: | csh 10126 mbarkah cwd VDIR 4, 12 512 92285 /usr -- | src/sys and it shows my working directory to be /usr/src/sys. Without the HASSECURITY option, any user on the system can too easily spy on another user, watching exactly what processes he is running and which files he is working on, his current directory, network connections, etc., and I'm not sure this is what most people want. However, I'd be happy to replace the current version with a lenient version if the net so desires. Since lsof is setgid, people should compile their own anyhow, rather than trusting (the possibly evil) me. =) Regards, -Ade Barkah From owner-freebsd-ports Thu Apr 6 10:12:24 1995 Return-Path: ports-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id KAA02329 for ports-outgoing; Thu, 6 Apr 1995 10:12:24 -0700 Received: from cs.weber.edu (cs.weber.edu [137.190.16.16]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with SMTP id KAA02323 ; Thu, 6 Apr 1995 10:12:23 -0700 Received: by cs.weber.edu (4.1/SMI-4.1.1) id AA13795; Thu, 6 Apr 95 11:04:03 MDT From: terry@cs.weber.edu (Terry Lambert) Message-Id: <9504061704.AA13795@cs.weber.edu> Subject: Re: lsof 3.25 now available for fbsd 2.0 To: mbarkah@teton.Mines.Colorado.EDU (Ade Barkah) Date: Thu, 6 Apr 95 11:04:02 MDT Cc: joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de, freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.org, ports@FreeBSD.org In-Reply-To: <9504061650.AA42466@teton.Mines.Colorado.EDU> from "Ade Barkah" at Apr 6, 95 10:50:10 am X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4dev PL52] Sender: ports-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > >> ...

The "peek" program offers a similar hole. UNIX-type systems use a "security through obscurity model", the theory being that you are statistically unlikely to find a file name if you are unable to iterate a directory, so the file can be otherwise able to be read but still be secure. Being able to see what files other people have open is the same as allowing them to iterate at least one file in that directory. The "peek" problem is a little less pronounced, in that it will give current working directories, and you have to get the file name from ps'ing a command line option to vi or some other program. Weber recently had a problem with this, since user's top level directories were open for read-but-not iterate. The intent was to allow the creation of symlinks in a sticky directory to the user's home directory to allow people to link their own home pages in (a CGI script was used to generate the list from ls data about the link owner).

I know the folks at Chiao-Tung University have a collection of Chinese ports available both in source and binary form. A quick perusal of their site shows a Chinese version of Tin 1.22 and an X11R6-linked xterm. There might be others but I can't discern from filenames alone.

Cc: ports Sender: ports-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Well, now that you've started your new job.. :-) Perhaps you can deal with this thorny one: What do we do about ports like dore and STk that don't really _do_ anything except create a library or two and don't really install full documentation given the author's assumption that the user is going to go in and actually LOOK at the port. They'll see a "README" and read it, or a "Demos" dir and go in and build one or two demos to see how things work. That's all fine, and many things like Stk are definitely *worth* the effort! However, that's not my point. My point is that our new fancy ports scheme HIDES the source trees for these ports and thus makes it a lot harder for someone to grasp their purpose quickly. To put it another way, our ports scheme is built strongly on the premise that you almost _shouldn't_ have to look at source, that the tarball is this weird canned object on which strange and incomprehensible magics be worked automatically on your behalf. This works really well for most ports (well, if the friggin' people would stop shooting archived tarballs out from under us, anyway :-) but these others are an exception. We need to figure out some way (or even just a policy) for a port to "export" parts of itself out of its work directory, ideally in response to some user feedback ("Do you want to compile and run the demos?"). Hmmmm... I'm thinking.. How about 2 new features: 1. files/post-build If this file exists then we execute it as a script (I'd like this as the default action for the post-build target, anyway). This would be very good for putting in post-build files like this: #!/bin/sh # # post-build file for Stk # cat << '_*_GORBLE_FINCH_*_' Stk ===> Now that you've finished the build, you may wish to cd to the Stk ===> ${WRKDIR}/${DISTNAME}/Demos directory and read the file %README Stk ===> there - it describes how to run the various demos that really show Stk ===> off Stk's abilities. _*_GORBLE_FINCH_*_ This will then at least come up on the user's screen (or build logs) and give them some warning that the port may need a little special handling. I assume you were already sort of planning on going in this direction anyway? 2. A demo target. This would default to a boring "This target provides no demonstration, sorry!" echo target, but could be overridden to do all KINDS of neat stuff! You want to show off Dore or STk? Easy.. Just have demo depend on build and then go build and run a few demos right out of ${WRKDIR}. If your demo requires the software to be installed, depend on install! Very easy.. What do you think?

How about post-install? One example is elk, where I changed the install target to move some files out of /usr/local/lib/elk/... to more appropriate places. I preferred like this rather than patching some of elk's own installation scripts which may change. A post-install target could catch those situations much more cleanly. tg From owner-freebsd-ports Fri Apr 7 06:06:22 1995 Return-Path: ports-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id GAA05734 for ports-outgoing; Fri, 7 Apr 1995 06:06:22 -0700 Received: from aries.ibms.sinica.edu.tw ([140.109.40.248]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with ESMTP id GAA05725 for ; Fri, 7 Apr 1995 06:06:03 -0700 Received: (from taob@localhost) by aries.ibms.sinica.edu.tw (8.6.11/8.6.9) id VAA22036; Fri, 7 Apr 1995 21:05:53 +0800 Date: Fri, 7 Apr 1995 21:05:52 +0800 (CST) From: Brian Tao To: FREEBSD-PORTS-L Subject: Re: SATAN ported??

I guess I'm overlooking something, huh? ;) You're overlooking something.. :-) post-configure is a special action carried out by the configure target itself. It *goes away* if you override the configure target and don't clone the post-configure pass in! Put another way, post-configure is not a _real_ target the way pre-configure is (pre-configure is actually a target OR a script - you can have both). If it's not a real target, then you can't override it and/or layer it into a existing override sequence easily. > * Yes, well, since you're working on the GUIDELINES _anyway_.. :-) > > Hey, I thought I punted the GUIDELINES and you fair-caught it!

Given that, I assume people are happy with it. :) So, here goes the idea for the ports' Makefile conventions and package names. I've already started fixing my ports, so it will be great if people can fix theirs...otherwise, I'll go in and do them myself. First, the Makefiles. The idea is to uniformize the format and make them easy to read, and also put the useful information near the top so that users can find what these things are all about easily. The Makefile will start with the preamble, which is essentially a bunch of eye-catching comments. And then come the variables, rules, and it will end with the requisite .include . The variables are divided up to 6 sections, in this order: (1) The port's profile. The variables should be defined in the order specified below. PKGNAME can be omitted if it is the same as DISTNAME (more on this below). KEYWORDS can be omitted if it is the same as CATEGORIES. At most one of EXTRACT_SUFX or DISTFILES should be necessary. (2) The patches we fetch from the network. The whole section can be omitted if there aren't any (as is the case for most ports). (3) The MAINTAINER line. This is mandatory! Write "ports@FreeBSD.ORG" if you don't feel like personally taking care of it (although we hope you would :). (4) Dependencies. (5) Other variables to override the defaults in bsd.port.mk. (6) Variables that you define and use in your own rules. The rules section has no rules (:), except that they should be in the order they are called. ====================8<========== cut here ==========>8================== # New ports collection makefile for: *** # Version required: *** # Date created: *** # Whom: *** # # $Id$ DISTNAME= *** PKGNAME= *** CATEGORIES+= *** KEYWORDS+= *** MASTER_SITES= ftp://***/ EXTRACT_SUFX= *** DISTFILES= *** PATCH_SITES= ftp://***/ PATCHFILES= *** PATCH_DIST_STRIP?= -p* MAINTAINER= ***@FreeBSD.ORG EXEC_DEPENDS= ***:${PORTSDIR}/***/*** LIB_DEPENDS= ***\\.*\\.:${PORTSDIR}/***/*** WRKSRC= *** \ IS_INTERACTIVE= *** \ HAS_CONFIGURE= *** > other bsd.port.mk variables that don't fit above USE_GMAKE= *** / USE_IMAKE= *** / ***= *** other variables you define for yourself ***: *** special rules you define .include ====================8<========== cut here ==========>8================== Okay, next about the package names. The following are the conventions you should follow in naming your packages. This is to have our package directory easy to scan, as there are already lots and lots of packages and users are going to turn away if they hurt their eyes! If your ${DISTNAME} has a format other than "-", set ${PKGNAME} to something in that format. This can be usually done by adding to or subtracting from ${DISTNAME} just a bit. The "" part should start with a lowercase letter, except for a really large package (with lots of programs in it). Things like XFree86 (yes there really is a package of it, check it out), ImageMagick fall into this category. Otherwise, convert the name (at least the first letter) to lowercase. The version string should be a period-separated list of integers, optionally followed by a single lowercase alphabet. The only exception is the string "pl" (meaning "patchlevel"), which can be used when there are no major and minor version numbers at all in the software (see tvtwm below). Here are some examples on how to convert a ${DISTNAME} into a suitable ${PKGNAME}: DISTNAME PKGNAME Reason mule-2.2.2 mule-2.2.2 no prob at all XFree86-3.1.1 XFree86-3.1.1 ditto EmiClock-1.0.2 emiclock-1.0.2 no uppercase names for single programs aXe-6.1.2 aXe-6.1.2 this one is ok, it's not the first letter gmod1.4 gmod-1.4 need hyphen after "" xmris.4.02 xmris-4.02 ditto rdist-1.3alpha rdist-1.3a no strings like "alpha" allowed v3.3beta021.src jpeg-5a what the heck was that anyway? ;) tvtwm tvtwm-pl11 version string always required piewm piewm-1.0 ditto xvgr-2.10pl1 xvgr-2.10.1 "pl" allowed only when no maj/minor If there is absolutely no trace of version information in the original source, just set the version string to "1.0" (like the piewm example above). Okay, that's it for tonight.

It *goes away* if you override the configure target and don't * clone the post-configure pass in! Put another way, post-configure is * not a _real_ target the way pre-configure is (pre-configure is * actually a target OR a script - you can have both). If it's not a * real target, then you can't override it and/or layer it into a * existing override sequence easily. Well, you are right that pre-configure is a "real" target, but it's called from within configure too so it will also go away if the porter redefines configure and doesn't put in the call to pre-configure. Also, the calling of ${SCRIPTDIR}/pre-configure is inside configure, not pre-configure, so it is still in the exact same boat as the post-configure script. Note that we can't completely take the {pre,post}-configure targets out of the configure target (including depending on it) because when the user types "make configure" s/he would expect it to do all three, not only the middle part. Right now, the various stages (fetch, extract, configure, etc.) have all sorts of different ways to handle the pre-* targets. Some are called recursively from within the "main" target of that stage, some are dependencies of the main target, some are scripts called from the main target. I think we should clean this up a bit. There is also this problem of dependency linkage, as right now extract depends on fetch, patch depends on extract, etc., so if the porter redefines the patch target and forgets to include the dependency to the extract target, it would lead to strange errors. This is the solution I propose: Change the current targets to skeletons that only serve as a chain of dependencies, and call the "real" targets, including the pre-* and post-* targets, from there. The default pre-* and post-* targets are empty, but the main chain includes calls to scripts if they exist. For example, the "extract" stage will go like this: extract: fetch ${EXTRACT_COOKIE} @${ECHO_MSG} "===> Extracting for ${DISTNAME}" @{MAKE} ${.MAKEFLAGS} pre-extract @if [ -f ${SCRIPTDIR}/pre-extract ]; then \ env (a bunch of stuff here...can we use a macro?) \ sh ${SCRIPTDIR}/pre-extract; \ fi @{MAKE} ${.MAKEFLAGS} do-extract @{MAKE} ${.MAKEFLAGS} post-extract @if [ -f ${SCRIPTDIR}/post-extract ]; then \ env (a bunch of stuff here...can we use a macro?) \ sh ${SCRIPTDIR}/post-extract; \ @${TOUCH} ${TOUCH_FLAGS} ${EXTRACT_COOKIE} .if !target(pre-extract) pre-extract: @${DO_NADA} .endif .if !target(do-extract) do-extract: (the current (real) extract target goes here....) .endif .if !target(post-extract) post-extract: @${DO_NADA} .endif The porter is not supposed to touch the "main" targets (extract in this case), but s/he can do pretty much anything without worrying about the GRANMAS_COOKIE and dependencies and other fancy stuff. The downside of this is that it will break the backward compatibility so we'll need to shut down the auto-update of the ports tree on wcarchive for a while while we go in and rewrite some of the Makefiles. Fortunately, in most cases, it only means adding "do-" in front of the porter-defined target and taking out the cookies and other crunchy stuff, so it shouldn't be too hard. * > * Yes, well, since you're working on the GUIDELINES _anyway_.. :-) * > * > Hey, I thought I punted the GUIDELINES and you fair-caught it!
