Postfix help wanted

Leave a Comment / Development, git / Dan Langille

EDIT: update, I think I have solved this via help on IRC. See solution. I need help configuring Postfix. I am overwhelmed by the options available and I need to stay on track by working on the rest of the git changes. I have changed references to the FreshPorts domain. I’m using example.org instead.

Changing how we record ports which need cache clearing

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

In this post I’ll talk about how the code intially took the easy way out and how recent changes have tightened that up. In short, the code would raise N messages when just a single notification is sufficient. Today the full vuxml database was reloaded into FreshPorts. This affects approximately 3454 ports and the marking

Changing cache file name for commits

FreshPorts can display a single commit based upon commit id, which is based upon the Message-Id of the commit email (for subversion and cvs) or the commit hash (for git). Commit ids are specified in the URL. Cached entries are stored on disk and are named after the commit. It is because are are using

git: database upgrade process

Leave a Comment / Development, git / Dan Langille

This post documents the database upgrade process. Issues encountered during initial attempts There are permission issues on the database. Not everything is owned by the postgres super-user.

Moving to the FreeBSD git repo for src

Leave a Comment / Development, git / Dan Langille

Just like I moved devgit.freshports.org from github to git.freebsd.org for the doc repo on Thursday, today (Monday), I’m doing the same thing for the src repo. The jail uses storage on an nvd-based zpool. First, create a new filesystem: [dan@slocum:~] $ sudo zfs create nvd/freshports/devgit/ingress/repos/src You can see it appear here in the jail, but

Testing the database conversion process

Leave a Comment / Development, git / Dan Langille

My plan is to update the production website and database in place. To test this process, a copy of the production database has been copied to the pg02.int.unixathome.org PostgreSQL database server and is now available as freshports.dgnew. The first test was the database update process. I think I have that settled now. Pointing the devgit.freshports.org
