What’s in the pipeline, how it works, how it’s made…
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.

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

Right now, we have have: dev.freshports.org devgit.freshports.org test.freshports.org testgit.freshports.org stage.freshports.org stagegit.freshports.org The goal: three hosts: dev, test, stage. I’ll delete the existing: dev, test, stage I’ll rename: devgit -> dev testgit -> test stagegit -> stage I think this will be easier than moving content from one jail to another. Each of the three renamed

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

This outlines the steps for putting the new git-delta.sh script into use. These steps will be required on each ingress node. stop ingress commit processing Look at the output of sudo tail /var/log/freshports/git.log and you should see something like this: [dan@devgit-ingress01:~] $ sudo tail /var/log/freshports/git.log 2021.06.27 17:21:05 git-delta.sh Repodir is /var/db/ingress/repos/src 2021.06.27 17:21:05 git-delta.sh Running:

Following on from last weekend’s work, today I’m learning more about git, and the difference between Plumbing and Porcelain commands. The original intent was to use git tag -l freshports/$refname to detect if a tag exists. The problem there, it always returns 0. [dan@mydev:/var/db/ingress/repos/ports] $ git tag -l | head 10-eol 4-eol 5-eol 6-eol 7-eol

With today’s work on Processing commits on branches with git, good progress was made. You can see commits on the quarterly branch (not up to date, because it’s not yet automated). You can see the port on the quarterly branch, if there’s a commit on the branch. Want to see a particular commit on a

Transitioning from subversion to git was both technically and personally challenging. During the COVID-19 pandemic there was a lot of work to carry out. A new server was created on AWS with a new layout and structure. For a few months it was nothing but my day job and FreshPorts in all my non-working hours.

Today at about 1:00 pm Philadelphia time, the website went offline. It was still there, it just could not answer any queries.

This post is mostly for personal use as I investigate this topic. It may take a few days and I need to keep notes. Last week, FreshPorts went live with git commits. There are some outstanding issues, such as commits to branches, which I will catch up on in the weeks to come. During that
