Moving distfiles to a new filesystem & deleting unused distfiles

FreshPorts pulls down a lot of distfiles (the file distributed by the software author which contains the software). Much more than your average user. Every distfile for every commit is fetched. Let’s look at my private FreshPorts development instance: [13:18 dvl-ingress01 dvl /jails/freshports/usr/ports] % du -ch -d 0 distfiles 125G distfiles 125G total That’s 125GB. […]

Manually triggering a package import

This post is mostly me putting thoughts down as I work through this problem. As part of fixing a recent issue, I want to manually trigger the importing of a new package repo into FreshPorts. The check for new repos is performed by this periodic script: Aug 17 01:00:06 dvl-ingress01 FreshPorts[80429]: into /usr/local/etc/periodic/hourly/900.freshports-check-repos-for-new-builds That shell
