Following on from: When do commits happen in the FreeBSD docs tree? When do commits happen in the FreeBSD src tree? When do commits happen in the FreeBSD ports tree? I asked for the busiest times. This is what Claude said. When is the FreeBSD project busiest? I counted every commit to the ports, src

In this post, I’m going to create a second jail in a FreshPorts ingress node. The first jail (named freshports) is used for running various scripts, typically of the make -V nature, to extract values from a ports tree. It is run in a jail without network connections and without installed packages. This avoids the

I asked Claude for this: Look at the FreeBSD ports tree over the past two years of commits. Look for time periods where there is a least a 15 minute gap without commits. Count them, and let me know the times of day they occur. Use UTC. Later, I asked for a 10 year period.

I’m preparing my test database (freshports.dvl) for code which processes Mk/bsd.default-versions. See the following for references: https://github.com/FreshPorts/DefaultVersions https://github.com/FreshPorts/freshports/issues/659 Table creation Today I did this: [15:18 pg01 dvl ~] % cd ~/src [15:18 pg01 dvl ~/src] % git clone https://github.com/FreshPorts/DefaultVersions Cloning into ‘DefaultVersions’… remote: Enumerating objects: 56, done. remote: Counting objects: 100% (56/56), done. remote: Compressing

This post replaces Updating a jail by replacing it – 1.0.1 This version is 2.0.0 because it is the first using pkgbase and the first using bsdinstall. It is based upon work done for this mkjail issue. Preparation Within the ingress jail, stop and disable the main services This is my attempt at making fewer

This is the first of several post reviewing and documenting the subversion to git conversion process. In short, FreshPorts is split into two parts, which are explained by this high level overview: ingress – getting stuff into the database web – getting stuff from the database That division of labor is not strictly delimited. Typically,

The code for the front end of FreshPorts is at https://github.com/FreshPorts/freshports/ There are other repos there as well. There are also many repos within my subversion server in the basement homelab. laurent@ has been helping with the conversion process. I have started reviewing his work and comparing it to my development environment to see if

I’m moving from PostgreSQL 16 to PostgreSQL 18 at home in the basement. I’ve done the dev and dvl databases. Now it’s time for test and stage. Since they are closer (in configuration) to production, I thought I would document how I’m doing that. I’m likely to jump back and forth between test and stage
