Some blog posts serve to help me think through to a solution. This blog post is just for that. Today I realized the code needs to handle both git and svn. I thought I would have one cut-over date after which all commits would go through git. I see now that this isn’t the way […]

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

In the last post, I found that many commits were to the master branch when they should have been on the quarterly branch. Now I think I see why. See this XML: If it’s quarterly, it should name the branch. Case in point: 2020Q4. I went to https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/svn-ports-branches/2020-November/thread.html to look for known quarterly commits. Hmm,

I need to document this so I can refer to it while debugging. This follows the chain of scripts which processes a commit. Periodic FreshPorts, at present, checks for new commits every three minutes, via this entry in /etc/crontab: That will invoke this script: check_for_git_commits.sh This is a cheat. It touches a file, which is

A recent post on the FreeBSD Ports mailing list asked: Hi, I noticed a big difference between the number of ports on freebsd.org/ports/ and on freshports.org. Currently, it’s 33348 vs. 41346. The freebsd.org’s number equals roughly the number of lines of a current INDEX, but how does FreshPorts count? Best, Moritz In short, they are

Today I’m working on https://devgit.freshports.org and fixing links to http://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/ for individual commits. Some of these links are stunted to: commit/c2b0677 (i.e. no hostname) A theory I think I know why. The repo_id field of the commit_log table is empty. This field links to the commit to a specific row in the repo table. That

I have no write up of the jails used by FreshPorts. The following originated in an email I sent this morning. FreshPorts runs on a FreeBSD host, hosting four jails. db – the PostgreSQL database server – the source for all content. connections via TCP/IP mx – Postfix takes incoming emails from subversion mailing list
The FreshPorts server died on Friday night. I drove up on Sunday morning to retrieve it. I have not yet investigated the breakage. It might be the M/B. It was suggested on IRC that replace instead of repair might be a better approach. The existing X8DTU m/b has some unresolved IPMI vulnerability issues. A newer
This is more for my own sanity for the next time I deploy a new FreshPorts host. There is no useful information here for anyone else. Base this upon the existing host: svn cp host_vars/foo.example.org host_vars/NEWHOST svn cp roles/postgresql-server/templates/hosts/foo.example.org roles/postgresql-server/templates/hosts/NEWHOST Edit these files: host_vars/NEWHOST roles/postgresql-server/templates/hosts/NEWHOST/pg_hba.conf.j2 roles/postgresql-server/templates/hosts/NEWHOST/postgresql.conf.j2 Create ssl certs for: NEWHOST.freshports.org NEWHOST.freshsource.org NEWHOST

I’m going to add bookmarks for ports. You can go directly to the dependencies, to the commits, to the configuration items. This will outline the sections before I start coding: #description #dependency #flavors #distinfo #packages #dependencies #config #uses #sites #commits
