Mk/bsd.perl.mk bug causes 5000 errrors….

Well, perhaps not 5000 errors, but quite a lot of errors. A recent change to Mk/bsd.perl.mk has caused all sorts of grief on two of the FreshPorts servers. The problem occurs when specifying PORTDIR. Here is an example: #!/bin/sh make -V BUILD_DEPENDS -V FORBIDDEN \ -f /usr/home/dan/ports/databases/p5-DBIx-Class/Makefile DISTDIR=/usr/ports/distfiles PORTSDIR=/usr/home/dan/ports make -V BUILD_DEPENDS -V FORBIDDEN \ […]

Leave a Comment / Bug fixes, Development, PostgreSQL / Dan Langille

This issue was brought to my attention by wxs (Wesley Shields). The issue is evident at http://www.freshports.org/graphs2.php. When you get there, click on click on Commits Over Time by Committer and then wait for the page to load. Scroll down to the D’s. There you’ll see a few committers suffixed with ‘(ports committer)’.

Leave a Comment / Bug fixes, Development, PostgreSQL, vuxml / Dan Langille

Mr Thomas wrote me regarding mail/horde4-imp and a particular vulnerability. Specifically, he figured that a recent commit (link to mail archives) fixed a bad entry in vuxml. Let’s look into that now. I first compared dev, beta, and production. All three had the port flagged as vulnerable. This situation is indicated by a skull at

Wrong prefix on some pathnames

Leave a Comment / Bug fixes, Development / Dan Langille

As mentioned in the comments of my previous post, some commits have been processed with an incorrect prefix. That is, some pathnames are missing the src/ part of the path. I just went looking… I found interesting stuff. 1233 rows of interesting stuff. For example: SELECT * FROM element_pathname WHERE pathname NOT LIKE ‘/ports/%’ AND

What if the port doesn’t exist?

Leave a Comment / Bug fixes / Dan Langille

The most recent project on FreshPorts is what ports are dependent upon *this* port. Tonight, two issues came to mind that I need to resolve: Ports in the DEPENDS that do not exist Refreshing other ports when a port depends upon them At present, FreshPorts refuses to process a commit if a port does not

RESTRICTED not correctly reported

Leave a Comment / Bug fixes, Development, PostgreSQL / Dan Langille

The RESTRICTED value on ports has been incorrectly recorded for some time. The code fix: $ cvs di port.pm Index: port.pm =================================================================== RCS file: /home/repositories/freshports-1/scripts/port.pm,v retrieving revision 1.54 diff -r1.54 port.pm 168c168 < $restricted_alt = FreshPorts::Utilities::NULLIfEmpty($dbh, $this->{restricted_alt}); — > $restricted_alt = FreshPorts::Utilities::NULLIfEmpty($dbh, $this->{restricted}); This is clearly a case of insufficient testing. I found this bug

One more caching problem

Leave a Comment / Bug fixes, Caching / Dan Langille

Cydex mentioned to me today: dvl: /UPDATING and /MOVED don’t seem to be updating on FreshPorts My response, ever so witty: dvl: /UPDATING and /MOVED don’t seem to be updating on FreshPorts I started comparing the production website with the one I run at home. The UPDATING pages differed. So did the MOVED pages. I
