The front page of FreshPorts is about to change, slightly. At present, the front page contains only the the commits to the main branch of the FreeBSD. More precisely, it does not include: Commits to Mk/ or other similar non-port entities within the ports tree Commits to the quarterly branch (whatever the latest quarter is; …

I need some help with the git processing shell script. Look at line 82 in this script please. See those hardcoded branch names? That’s my problem. Let’s reduce the shell script to a simple proof of concept. % cat ~/tmp/poc.sh #!/bin/sh git for-each-ref –format ‘%(objecttype) %(refname)’ \ | sed -n ‘s/^commit refs\/remotes\///p’ \ | while …
With today’s work on Processing commits on branches with git, good progress was made. You can see commits on the quarterly branch (not up to date, because it’s not yet automated). You can see the port on the quarterly branch, if there’s a commit on the branch. Want to see a particular commit on a …
A recent post on the FreeBSD Ports mailing list asked: Hi, I noticed a big difference between the number of ports on freebsd.org/ports/ and on freshports.org. Currently, it’s 33348 vs. 41346. The freebsd.org’s number equals roughly the number of lines of a current INDEX, but how does FreshPorts count? Best, Moritz In short, they are …
From IRC: [Oct 05 22:41] zi: we have conflict matches: https://dev.freshports.org/security/openssl/ [Oct 06 09:08] dvl: cute. possible to add in a clickable link to take you to that matching port? :) [Oct 06 10:50] zi: That matching port, it’s just a package name, sometimes there is a matching port, sometimes there is not… But yeah, …
Tonight, I was contacted by jrm on IRC, who told me that FreshPorts was missing something on a search. Yep. It was not in there. I looked on dev and I saw the same thing. Finding the cause I started by enabling debug on dev. I found this SQL: I started by removing one LEFT …
Committing to a branch (e.g. 2016Q4) when the port in question has slave ports is getting tricky, especially if the port was added after the branch was created. Case in point, www/linux-c7-flashplugin11 was added to the tree on 19 Oct 2016. The 2016Q4 branch was created on 3 Oct, and therefore that port does not …

About two weeks ago, I wrote a function for creating a port. This will take the port from head and copy it to a branch. This is vital because of the reasons discussed here: creating a new port and copying a port from head to a branch. This function worked and was useful, but it …
In my two previous posts I talked about creating a new port and copying a port from head to a branch. The goal of this post is the creation of a new function: CreatePortOnBranch($category_name, $port_name, $CommitBranch) The failed start I started out with this stored procedure: Running it gave this message: # select CreatePort(‘sysutils’, ‘bacula-server’, …
In my previous post, I wrote about the need to copy a port from head to a branch in some circumstances, specifically when a master-port is updated and the slave ports do not already exist in the FreshPorts database on that branch. This is a side-effect of FreshPorts only taking action for commits, and not …
