Hi office@ & jkim@, Suggestion: libreoffice Makefile could have a trap to detect failure, & do dmesg |& grep ": filesystem full" Reason: Presumably libreofice is most vulnerable by far to transient disturbance as it is so huge, taking hours to days to build, so there's a lot of time exposure when transient disk partition usage, or adjacent memory fork saturation etc can pollute the build tree. It would run immediately after failure, & clearly show problem, before logs might later rotate, & humans return perhaps next day & miss old dmesg clues. One reason for one of my previous build failures (& possibly other peoples' at times ?) was a ports/ partition transiently filled, & not realised (a neighbouring process transiently wanted 60+ gig in the same partition as the ports/ build). I finaly managed to build libreoffice on current a few days ago, ls -l /usr/ports/packages/All/libreoffice* -rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 73250204 Jun 7 16:45 libreoffice-4.3.7.txz -rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 73039668 Oct 29 21:06 libreoffice4-4.3.7.txz -rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 74493380 Nov 6 20:31 libreoffice-5.0.3.txz after recent failures, jkim@ kindly gave me patches, http://berklix.com/~jhs/src/bsd/fixes/freebsd/ports/gen/editors/libreoffice/files (the first patch of which I used succesfully to build, & the 2nd patch I didnt apply as I was by then already in mid re-build, which succeeded & so then I switched to rebuild generic, ready to hand apply patches & test as needed... but I was happily suprised when generic then built with no additional patches, leaving me puzzling "Why did it build finaly ?!" :-) Cheers, Julian -- Julian Stacey, BSD Linux Unix Sys.
