ignore case when browsing to a cat/port – the details of how to do that

Leave a Comment / case insensitive, Development / Dan Langille

This idea came to me today from swills: stupid question, would it be possible to make the urls on freshports case insensitive? so that like https://www.freshports.org/x11/libx11 would go to https://www.freshports.org/x11/libX11 After confirming this was for manually typed URLs (as opposed to generated links), I started looking into it. This is what I found. In this […]

Manual initiation of git commit processing

Leave a Comment / Development, git / Dan Langille

This is another post in the FreshPorts-git series. Yesterday was good progress. This morning (at Sat Jul 4 13:05:10 UTC 2020) I manually initiated another import of commits from git. It looked like this: This created one XML file for each git commit. The files are dropped into the ~freshports/messages-queues/incoming directory. The freshports-git daemon (well,

Setting up a FreeBSD ports git repo for FreshPorts usage

Leave a Comment / Development, git / Dan Langille

I’m documenting this as a go along because I’m sure I’ll be doing something that I later wish I had written down. Create the repo This creates a FreeBSD git-based port repo. echo git clone https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports.git /var/db/freshports/ports-jail/var/db/repos/PORTS-head-git | sudo su -l freshports The latest local commit This tells us the hash of the latest commit

Packages – how is this data stored?

Leave a Comment / Development, packages / Dan Langille

This post documents what I recently put into a gist on Github. It should serve as a rough introduction to how FreshPorts handles packages extracted from packagesite.yaml files. All the platforms These are the plaforms (also known as ABI) for which we are monitoring packages created by the FreeBSD project. They relate to URLs found

Where did phpunit6 go?

Leave a Comment / Development / Dan Langille

Jochen Neumeister noticed that FreshPorts no longer lists phpunit6. see also https://github.com/FreshPorts/freshports/issues/72. Sure enough, I went searching and failed to find it. It did not turn up. Then I checked Include deleted ports, then clicked on Search again. Ahh, there it it. Sure enough, it is marked as deleted. Look for the small icon at

Where is en-aspell?

Leave a Comment / Branches, Bug fixes, PostgreSQL / Dan Langille

Tonight, I was contacted by jrm on IRC, who told me that FreshPorts was missing something on a search. Yep. It was not in there. I looked on dev and I saw the same thing. Finding the cause I started by enabling debug on dev. I found this SQL: I started by removing one LEFT

Committing to a branch when there are slave ports

Leave a Comment / Branches, Bug fixes, Development / Dan Langille

Committing to a branch (e.g. 2016Q4) when the port in question has slave ports is getting tricky, especially if the port was added after the branch was created. Case in point, www/linux-c7-flashplugin11 was added to the tree on 19 Oct 2016. The 2016Q4 branch was created on 3 Oct, and therefore that port does not

Adding Makefile and pkg-plist to the mix

Leave a Comment / New ideas / Dan Langille

Recently, I’ve been adding more and more file content into the database, mostly because it’s useful. For example, we add the contents of the distinfo, because that information is useful. Next, it was pkg-plist, and before I was done that, someone suggested added in the Makefile. Neither pkg-plist nor Makefile will be perfect: Not all

New function for creating a port

Leave a Comment / Branches, Bug fixes / Dan Langille

About two weeks ago, I wrote a function for creating a port. This will take the port from head and copy it to a branch. This is vital because of the reasons discussed here: creating a new port and copying a port from head to a branch. This function worked and was useful, but it
