Yesterday, I wrote about some great progress on getting FreshPorts to work with multiple repositories to cater for the branches of the FreeBSD ports tree. At the end of that post, I talked briefly about wanting global settings or variables for my stored procedures. Shortly after posting that, I found a solution in the form […]

Today I managed to make quite a bit of progress trying to incorporate multiple ports trees into the commit processing. The diff is about 985 lines long. It’s not as complex as it sounds. I just have to pass $CommitBranch around to various functions. The result: I have the commits going into the database, but
Multiple repos – good progress Read More »
I just realized (although, deep in the recesses of my innocent mind, I suspect I knew) that FreshPorts will require one repo for each branch. The email on the svn ports branches mailing list includes multiple branches. A quick glance around the archives finds me these branches: RELENG_9_1_0 RELENG_9_2_0 2014Q1 I know there will be

In a recent post, I said: That second patch uses the same string you saw above in the previous patch. Yes, it would be better to have added that string to just one place. I welcome patches for that change. Today I will show you that code. With help from Matthias Andree on IRC, I

Over the past few weeks, I’ve made some progress towards supporting the branches for FreshPorts. Today, I started making the first code changes and I wanted to share that with you as I went along. Finding the messages FreshPorts processes commits by parsing the messages from the mailing list. I think it might be feasible

Bernard emailed me, and Tim Stoddard posted in the forum about search not finding what it should find. I quickly agreed; it was wrong. Fortunately, it was a small fix. See also my follow-up post where I fixed the broken data. The problem The problem was searching for ports such as bird didn’t include that

I recently wrote about a problem with FreshPorts not tracking changes by branch. I recently patched the dev system and things are looking better. The patch is: This change forces the code to look for an existing row in the system_branch_element_revision table, and if not found, add it in. I used this commit against news/trn4

The other day, captcha broke. But a concerned user mentioned that he was able to create an account despite that. I tried and failed to reproduce the problem. Can you? Here are the steps he mentioned: I went to http://www.freshports.org/new-user.php Entered all my data without any captcha code entered and press “create account” Saw an
