I am just back from OSCON. While there, I attempted to incorporate some CSS patches into FreshPorts…. I failed. It is time to Open Source FreshPorts. It uses PHP (website), Perl (message processing), and Python (cache). It’ll take me a while to get the infrastructure into place. I have servers suitable for this purpose. I […]

In case you hadn’t noticed, FreshPorts is now running on the new server. With hardware donated by iXsystems and 3Ware, and colocation/bandwidth provided by SuperNews, the box has been installed for some time. Blame me for the delayed transition. BSDCan, PGCon, moving to Florida for a new job, getting laid off due to outsourcing, and

Søren Straarup brought this up today. FreshSource does not link to the right place in CVSWEB for commits to CVSROOT. For example, look at this commit. If you click on the diff link, it goes to the wrong place. It goes to http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/CVSROOT/modules.diff?r1=1.18319&r2=1.18318 instead of http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/CVSROOT-ports/modules.diff?r1=1.18319&r2=1.18318 After discussions with Simon Nielsen and is Søren Straarup,

The connection to FreshPorts? I came up with an idea for solving the problem. Tonight gave me the opportunity. I invoked

The much-anticipated X.org 7.2 commit has occurred. Unfortunately, the commit is causing a deadlock on FreshPorts.

My work (yes, I’m now employed) is looking at deploying servers to client sites. They aren’t so much servers as appliances. The boxes serve a distinct function, and not much else.
