git and svn handle copy differently

Leave a Comment / git /

As a sanity check, there are several diffs to compare devgit.freshports.org with dev.freshports.org and sometimes they detect a false positive. Case in point, a recent commit to Code_Aster: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports?view=revision&revision=556349 https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/commit/d23fb94b8640d1c9d38c3cafc69c89ed4fe11939 In the svnweb link, you will see: head/science/tfel-edf/ (Copied from head/science/tfel, r555690) It is that repo copy (i.e. svn copy) from science/tfel to science/tfel-edf which

My ansible changes when deploying a new host

Leave a Comment / Development /

Getting the pkg-plist contents for a FreeBSD port/package

Leave a Comment / Development, pkg-plist /

One of the lesser known FreshPorts features is searching pkg-plist. You want nslookup and dig but you can’t find the package which installs that. The FreshPorts search can find it for you. When a new commit occurs for a given port, FreshPorts extracts and store the pkg-plist information. This allows you to search. How does
