What’s in the pipeline, how it works, how it’s made…
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; […]

When setting up a new FreshPorts ingress node, the repositories must be configured with tags so FreshPorts knows the last commit it has processed. This is the starting point each time FreshPorts goes to search for new commits. This post about Processing commits on branches with git might help with background. Those tags must be

Tonight I was setting up a new FreshPorts node for development. It took me a while to remember the steps. sudo su -l postgres psql template1 < globals.sql createdb -T template0 -E SQL_ASCII freshports.org psql freshports.org create language plperl; exit; time pg_restore -j 32 -d freshports.org ~dan/dump/freshports.org.dump This takes about 45 minutes.

The Libreoffice homepages seem wrong. dev and test do not show a homepage for arabic/libreoffice, but stage and prod do. Could this be a commit which corrected something after dev and test were corrected? I think so. I think this commit did that. Let’s check from the command line. I’m doing this in my empty

By “post correction”, I meant “post-correction script”, i.e. after the correction script completed. A recent commit started the process of moving the WWW from pkg-descr to Makefile. These were huge commits, about 27930 ports each. FreshPorts is dumb. It sees a commit and it refreshes all ports touched by that commit. Refreshing every port takes

Today I learned, or at best, relearned, a new make target: root@freshports:/usr/ports/sysutils/anvil # make create-manifest root@freshports:/usr/ports/sysutils/anvil # ls -lt | head total 14 drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 3 Sep 10 17:26 work -rw-r–r– 1 root wheel 337 Sep 10 16:06 pkg-descr -rw-r–r– 1 root wheel 182 Sep 10 16:06 distinfo -rw-r–r– 1 root wheel 1050

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

This is the first of a series of posts which provide sample queries. Sometimes you need a starting point. This particular query will be used for showing the recent commits on a branch. WITH branch_commits AS ( SELECT distinct CL.id, CL.commit_DATE FROM commit_log CL JOIN commit_log_ports CLP on CL.id = CLP.commit_log_id JOIN commit_log_branches CLB ON

I was asked: Why does FreshPorts have links to both git and subversion repos? The short answer is: because at the time, the commits were committed to those respective repos. The links to the other repo do not exist. FreeBSD moved from using subversion to git. During the transition, the subversion repo became read-only. All
