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

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

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,

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

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

From IRC: [Oct 05 22:41] zi: we have conflict matches: https://dev.freshports.org/security/openssl/ [Oct 06 09:08] dvl: cute. possible to add in a clickable link to take you to that matching port? :) [Oct 06 10:50] zi: That matching port, it’s just a package name, sometimes there is a matching port, sometimes there is not… But yeah,

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
