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; …

A long-standing bug, perhaps dating back to April 2003, has been fixed. It was an optimization in a trigger: if the values in the trigger have not changed, let’s not run the trigger. Turns out, that was a bad idea. The table The ports_categories table documents the connections between a port and the categories in …
The July 4th tweet announced “dev, test, and stage .freshports.org are now running Python 3.9”. Three days later, “Is it coincidental that dev, test, and stage are all stuck on commits from July 4?” I took notes as I explored the problem. The first clue was: 2022.07.07 00:12:03 git-delta.sh /usr/local/libexec/freshports/git-to-freshports-xml.py –repo ports –path /var/db/ingress/repos/ports –branch …
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 …
Recently I started seeing this message in the production logs for FreshPorts: What code produces that message? GitHub makes searching for that message easy. I found it here: What port has this issue? Searching the webserver logs, I find: Always be able to reproduce the issue If I cannot reproduce the issue myself, I cannot …

Ports come and go. Sometimes they come back. Take a recent commit on 1 July against editors/ved (and others). This port was created on 01 Jan 2001 and removed on 15 May 2014 because it used the deprecated smake. The 1 July 2021 commit brought it back. There was a problem. Here is the page …
Today I discovered a problem which required the reprocessing of about 400 commits. How is that accomplished? delete the commits from the database tell the ingress daemon to start processing from commit x Deleting This works so long as all the commits have been process in order. The canonical method would query git to get …
Today at about 1:00 pm Philadelphia time, the website went offline. It was still there, it just could not answer any queries. In this post: Website and database server running in AWS FreeBSD 12.2 on a t3.medium EC2 instance PostgreSQL 12.5 running on a db.t2.large RDS instance Initial look Looking at load, it was acceptable: …
This post is a how-to and reminder for myself. I’m working on finding a better way for FreshPorts to know a new physical ports category when it finds it. I think the only way is to look at the directories in the FreeBSD ports repo. A discussion on IRC led to this shell script: [dan@devgit-ingress01:/var/db/ingress/repos/ports] …
