The slave ports for devel/binutils did not get deleted

Leave a Comment / Bug fixes, Development, Sanity Tests /

I’ve noticed a log of sanity test failures related to devel/binutils lately. Every single commit. Issue 133 deals with that. Here, I plan to document what happened. FreshPorts has, since inception, worked off the commit emails. The incoming email is parsed and XML created. The XML is then used to update the database. I started

I have a spooling directory issue to fix

Leave a Comment / Bug fixes /

I’m writing this post just to keep things straight in my head so I can decide how best to resolve this issue. FreshPorts uses /var/db/freshports/cache/spooling on both the ingress jail and the nginx jail. The nginx jail uses it for caching content. Page details are first spooled into /var/db/freshports/cache/spooling before moving it to /var/db/freshports/cache/ports. The

I originally documented this so I would have a reference while tracking down the problem. I have since solved the issue and you can jump to the bottom of this post to find the solution. What I do not know is why this was not an issue under PostgreSQL 10.6 but was under PostgreSQL 11.1.

Duplicate dependency issues – avoiding duplicate rows

Leave a Comment / Bug fixes, Dependencies, PostgreSQL /

Databases use relational integrity to enforce expected situations. A common scenario is duplicates. Case in point, I present the port_dependencies table: For those not familiar with FreeBSD ports, each port (you could also refer to them as a package or application) can have zero or more dependencies. The FreshPorts database extracts and lists these dependencies

Details of the vuxml processing problem

Leave a Comment / Bug fixes, Development, vuxml /

For several weeks, FreshPorts had a vuxml processing problem. In this blog post, I will share what I found. Introduction Incoming events for FreshPorts are handled by a small Python script which checks for flags and incoming commits. This ensures that work is carried out serially because parallel work can have unintended consequences. After each
