What’s in the pipeline, how it works, how it’s made…
Alex wrote in to mention that FreshSource was missing some src commits. In fact, he wrote twice. I’m glad he did. I replied to his first post saying that I was seeing www commits… He pointed out that no src commits were turning up. OH! I checked my local mailing list archive (i.e. a folder […]

Lately, I’ve been thinking and writing about how to list ports that depend upon this port. Today, another special situation arose: doing commits out of order. Case in question: this commit support for databases/php5-sqlite3 to lang/php5-extensions. The lang/php5-extensions commit was at 15:52:14. However, databases/php5-sqlite3 was not created until 15:54:29. I am not sure how to

From time to time, ports/security/vuxml/vuln.xml gets a date field containing an invalid date. FreshPorts stores these entries in a table that looks like this: freshports.org=# \d vuxml Table “public.vuxml” Column | Type | Modifiers —————-+————–+—————————————————- id | integer | not null default nextval(‘vuxml_id_seq’::regclass) vid | text | not null topic | text | not null

I have no idea what caused the server to freeze up at about 00:10 GMT on 13 Feb 2011. Everything, including ping, stopped working then. Service was restored at about 17:26 GMT. Why so long? I was occupied elsewhere. FreshPorts appears to have caught up with everything on the commit list.
An interesting discussion started earlier this week: upstream dependents. At present, FreshPorts captures and displays the information output from: make -V BUILD_DEPENDS -V RUN_DEPENDS -V LIB_DEPENDS For a given port, this tells up what that port depends upon for building, running, and libraries. The request is for this same information, but in the reverse ordering;

A few months ago, Dmitry Marakasov asked for a new feature: a link to diff. The problem I had was figuring out the previous revision. The code always has the current revision. That is stored in the table: freshports.org=# \d commit_log_elements Table “public.commit_log_elements” Column | Type | Modifiers —————+————–+—————————————————————— id | integer | not null
Quite some time ago, FreshPorts and The FreeBSD Diary both moved from clear text passwords to password hashes. As such, you are no longer able to recover your password. You had to email me. This is extra work for everyone. Let us automate this. The first, step, is a table: create table user_password_reset( user_id int

Today I found a new issue with commit emails. They aren’t perfect. Neither is the code. The problem arose with this email: philip 2010-07-31 14:57:38 UTC FreeBSD src repository Modified files: . access mentors Log: SVN rev 210685 on 2010-07-31 14:57:38Z by philip Take cbzimmer’s commit bit into safekeeping per his request.

In a previous post, I wrote about a suspected LIMIT problem. It turns out that suspicion proved correct. The solution was to move to a nested query which limits the underlying data and then allows the outer query to grab all the associated fluff that surrounds it. Here is the fix to the original code:
Bjoern A. Zeeb pointed out a problem today. On the following URL, there should be more commits per page. Only three are shown (at the time of writing). http://www.freshports.org/search.php?stype=committer&method=exact&query=jb&num=100&orderby=category&orderbyupdown=asc&search=Search&include_src_commits=include_src_commits The page is showing 100 results per page. This should be 100 commits, but the result set is showing only 100 files. The SQL query has
