If you have not installed portaudit, you should. It will save you time. A little bit of work by those that maintain the FreeBSD vulnerability database saves a great deal of time for all the sysadmins out there. For example, this morning, I got this email:

I got into trouble yesterday. Or rather, FreshPorts got into trouble because of me. It all centered around a new category called net perl5. I first notice the problem when I received an SQL error message: ERROR: null value in column “last_update” violates not-null constraint CONTEXT: SQL statement “INSERT INTO category_stats ( SELECT categories.id AS

The Python listening script is now in production. With a few luser-type problems along the way. Specifically: I have discovered, quite recently, that having the same name for both the NOTIFY command and the LISTEN command is kind of a good strategy when you actually want your listener to be notified. The problem? The code

Following on from the previous post, I found myself with a few hours to myself tonight. The estrogen in the house went out as a group so I managed to do a bit more coding on the FreshPorts listening daemon.
Adding stubs for listening – data driven Read More »
Data driven applications are a good concept to keep in mind when design an application, especially when that application needs to have new bits added to it on a regular basis. My idea for using Python to listen for FreshPorts events is a case in point.

Today I started playing with Python again. My goal is to create a listening “daemon†to process PostgreSQL events. I wrote about my initial proof of concept at the start of the month. Today, it’s time to look at using this for real.

Cydex suggested this one. Visit this commit and look at the the links to Makefile, distinfo, and pkg-plist. They each now contain a bookmark (e.g. #rev1.44). In addition, and something you may not have noticed, the icon to the left of the File name contains a link to the annotated version of that file revision.

On August 9, Mark Linimon was talking about having users rank ports. The goal being to approximate a list of ‘key’ ports. I suggested allowing people to nominate their top N ports. And only N. They can change their selection at any time. It would be like a vote or poll, but you get to

PostgreSQL is my database of choice. Any who has worked with commercial databases will find more in common with PostgreSQL than any other open source database. I moved to PostgreSQL for the transactions, the stored procecdures, and the relational integrity Sure, other databases have begun to catch up, but they still don’t have the polish
