This is a starting introduction to the FreshPorts database. Hopefully it will prompt questions. Ask. The key data component of FreshPorts is the commit. These are stored in the commit_log table. Each commit affects one or more files, known in the database as elements. The elements table is a self-referencing table and represents the files […]

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,

It was this commit to print/gutenprint that caused the problem. You will notice that one file is touched twice by that commit. It is best

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. The error message I see is: [36978]: [1-1] 2007-05-20 00:01:55.591 EDT freshports.org 36978 ERROR: deadlock detected [1-2] 2007-05-20 00:01:55.591 EDT freshports.org 36978 DETAIL: Process 36978 waits for ShareLock on transaction 15047015; blocked by [1-3] process 37015.
