On November 19 2024, these errors appeared on every FreshPorts node: That’s my clue to go look closer as to why the processing failed. This processing is related to the security/vuxml port which documents known vulnerabilities within the FreeBSD ports tree and operating system. This tool helps system administrators identify and patch known problems. The […]

This is mostly for my own future reference. I was looking at /categories.php and didn’t see the new filesystems category. I also note it does not sort by what it says it will sort. I eventually found it was loading data from this table: That’s all from 2017… 7 years ago. Grepping for the table

I’ve updated the code (look for pseduo code in Welcome to the new category: filesystems) and now I’m ready to test that code. I have a copy of the database from before the commit. I’ve configured my test environment I can rollback the filesystem and get to a known good point. Am I doing this

Following on from yesterday’s blog post about the new filesystems category, today I hope to fix the code and get the website up to date again. At present, the code is spinning, trying to fetch category information using outdate code which assumes subversion is still in use.

Today I updated the test ingress node of FreshPorts. Not long after, I was told by Nagios monitoring: I had a similar message comparing test to stage. Soon after, I saw this error in the logs: Oct 19 12:18:04 test-ingress01 dvl[12403]: FATAL eror with git-to-freshports-xml.py result: 1 – check git-delta.sh logs for more detail Looking
This post is mostly me putting thoughts down as I work through this problem. As part of fixing a recent issue, I want to manually trigger the importing of a new package repo into FreshPorts. The check for new repos is performed by this periodic script: Aug 17 01:00:06 dvl-ingress01 FreshPorts[80429]: into /usr/local/etc/periodic/hourly/900.freshports-check-repos-for-new-builds That shell

Here are the updates installed late last night. This was into stage.freshports.org. Why? Because they were waiting. I usually prefer to get things installed instead of delaying. Other hosts, but not all, were also updated. Why not all? I didn’t want to. ;) Of note, this goes from Perl 5.36 to Perl 5.38. I updated

I went to work on a brilliant new idea for a FreshPorts feature and I immediately hit a snag on my dev system. I noticed that the package importing system had not run anything recently. The reason why was in the logs: In this post: FreeBSD 14.0 PostgresQL 16.1 py39-psycopg2-2.9.9 Python 3.9.18 First, why did

Overnight, these messages appeared in the dev.freshports logs. This is not the first time this has happened. EDIT: 2024-02-18 – it was ZFS snapshot related. These directories each have a ZFS file system behind them. The cache is cleared by zfs rollback. My solution: destroy the snapshot I was rolling back to, change the permissions,
