Site changes, new feature, etc.
The SQL injection issues, at least all that I could find, are fixed. The first alert was on March 18th. That went out via: Twitter account status page a notice on the top of each page of the website See also FreshSource code fixes. Short version everything we know about is fixed we saw no …
In this post, I’ll talk about how someone was able to use SQL injection to spin up the database server to 100% utilization. I found the queries in the logs, duplicated the situation on dev, patched the code, and updated the website. See also SQL inejection issues fixed. In this post: FreeBSD 13.1 PostgreSQL server …
The commits.php page has a long history dating back to 2006 in GitHub and before that in another repo. Soon, it is going away. The justification is in issue 337: it’s not used much, and it’s not doing as it should (loading the last 100 commits). In the early days, the front page showed only …
Some new graphs were put on the beta site last night. They use a combination of jQuery and Flot to generate the graphs. All the backend code is php (but is quite ugly and small). The real meat of the important code is in the javascript. I’ve written an explanation of how the code works …

Martin corrected the problem with a followup commit. This incident prompted me to make a couple of changes to FreshPorts with respect …
The repo is now online: See http://cvs.freshports.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/. You can also get to a cvs server at the same hostname.
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 …
Some of you may be noticing HTML in the daily outgoing messages. I apologise for that. You must have seen the various notices that appear at the top of each FreshPorts webpage. At present, they look like this: Absolute BSD – $25 shipped – order yours now I’m looking for work. I’m a software developer/sysadmin. …
