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

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

All FreshPorts servers are now running PostgreSQL 8.4 (they were running 8.3). The upgrade process was rather straight forward. I documented it during the first upgrade (of my development server). I then used the same process for both the beta server and the production server. All went well. Merry Christmas.

I was annoyed earlier tonight to find that my configuration files for security/phpmyid were overwritten by an upgrade. I started to compose an email to the maintainer only to discover I am the maintainer.
