Hello, The changeover from subversion to git for the FreeBSD project enters it’s final stage about three hours from now (as I type this). At 3:01 UTC on Mar 31 2021, the repository will become read-only. The full schedule for that process is in the FreeBSD wiki. The first git commit is not expected until […]
I had noticed a problem with my full text search solution when I was testing. If the input query contained a quote, an error resulted on the query. At the time, I attributed that to a poor input/text handling. Later, I realized I was wrong. On the website, this PHP code is used: Where $this->Query […]
In yesterdays blog post, Replacing a column search with a full text search solution, I wanted to mention how adding a LIMIT 10 to a fast running query made it run slower. I didn’t remember that issue until this morning. Fortunately, the fix was low cost. The query This is the query I ran: The […]
One of the many useful features on FreshPorts is: what port[s] install[s] this file? That’s the pkg-plist search option. pkg-plist is a file which “lists all the files installed by the port”. However not all ports have a pkg-plist file because the list is compiled automatically. That is why the configure_plist table was created to […]
In this post I will show you how I discovered that the backend was putting data into a new table (generate_plist) but the website was still using the ports.pkg_plist column. The result was stale data being shown on the website (for older ports) or no data at all (for newer ports). How long? Since Oct […]
This is a cheat sheet for FreshPorts behind-the-scenes administration. If you want one for users, please start with suggested content. Ingress Actions git-single-commit.sh – Take a commit from the repo and insert it into the database. Will fail if commit is already there. REPO is one of src, ports, doc. Hash is the git commit […]
By request FreeBSD 14 is being added to the list of build packages. Looking at the main freebsd pkg mirror, we can see FreeBSD:14 is listed. These are the items in question: FreeBSD:14:i386 FreeBSD:14:amd64 FreeBSD:14:aarch64 FreeBSD:14:armv6 FreeBSD:14:armv7 FreeBSD:14:mips FreeBSD:14:mips64 FreeBSD:14:powerpc64 The SQL is: But why type all this, code it. Which produces: [dan@pg02:~/bin] $ sh […]
EDIT: update, I think I have solved this via help on IRC. See solution. I need help configuring Postfix. I am overwhelmed by the options available and I need to stay on track by working on the rest of the git changes. I have changed references to the FreshPorts domain. I’m using example.org instead. Background […]
This is what runs in an ingress jail: This runs in a nginx jail:
In this post I’ll talk about how the code intially took the easy way out and how recent changes have tightened that up. In short, the code would raise N messages when just a single notification is sufficient. Today the full vuxml database was reloaded into FreshPorts. This affects approximately 3454 ports and the marking […]
