Tonight, I was contacted by jrm on IRC, who told me that FreshPorts was missing something on a search. Yep. It was not in there. I looked on dev and I saw the same thing. Finding the cause I started by enabling debug on dev. I found this SQL: I started by removing one LEFT […]
Committing to a branch (e.g. 2016Q4) when the port in question has slave ports is getting tricky, especially if the port was added after the branch was created. Case in point, www/linux-c7-flashplugin11 was added to the tree on 19 Oct 2016. The 2016Q4 branch was created on 3 Oct, and therefore that port does not […]

I was asked if this was a known bug. It’s not. I don’t think anyone knows about it. dvl: ping. FreshPorts truncates COMMENT. Known issue? https://www.freshports.org/devel/include-what-you-use/ Here’s what I found there: Tool for use with clang to analyze Here is what the Makefile contains: $ grep COMMENT Makefile COMMENT= Tool for use with clang to […]
FreshPorts uses a cache for every port page (e.g. https://www.freshports.org/sysutils/bacula-server/). When an update to a port occurs, we must clear the cache for that port. This sounds simple, and it is. The various ways in which updates occur complicates the situation. This post is all about fixing one edge case: the addition or removal of […]
Recently, I’ve been adding more and more file content into the database, mostly because it’s useful. For example, we add the contents of the distinfo, because that information is useful. Next, it was pkg-plist, and before I was done that, someone suggested added in the Makefile. Neither pkg-plist nor Makefile will be perfect: Not all […]
About two weeks ago, I wrote a function for creating a port. This will take the port from head and copy it to a branch. This is vital because of the reasons discussed here: creating a new port and copying a port from head to a branch. This function worked and was useful, but it […]
As you know, I’ve been working on branches this long holiday weekend. Today, I managed to get the display of a port on a branch to correctly. Along the way, I discovered a downside to storing raw data in the database. Take for example this output: This is the output of make -V RUN_DEPENDS. You […]
In my two previous posts I talked about creating a new port and copying a port from head to a branch. The goal of this post is the creation of a new function: CreatePortOnBranch($category_name, $port_name, $CommitBranch) The failed start I started out with this stored procedure: Running it gave this message: # select CreatePort(‘sysutils’, ‘bacula-server’, […]
In my previous post, I wrote about the need to copy a port from head to a branch in some circumstances, specifically when a master-port is updated and the slave ports do not already exist in the FreshPorts database on that branch. This is a side-effect of FreshPorts only taking action for commits, and not […]
