using git with personal and contrib repositories
by Mikhail Kolesnik 18 Nov '06

18 Nov '06

I suspect, it's a common scenario: you have personal ports foo, bar. foo is synced to contrib and symlinked from git (contrib) top level directory. bar is just for personal use/httpup repo. /usr/ports/my_ports : foo -> /home/me/sources/crux/contrib/foo bar What if You'll want to track all personal ports (including the ones synced to contrib) with standalone git? Simply using /usr/ports/my_ports for local git tracking seems impossible: all symlinks are handled by git as symlinks, not as real directories. It's natural, I want to keep all my ports in one directory. Also, it would be great to avoid a duplicate commits (with the help of some wrapper, maybe) for each collection. Are there any simple solutions already in use? -- Mikhail Kolesnik ICQ: 260259143 IRC: mike_k at freenode/#crux, rusnet/#yalta Jabber: mike_k(a)jabber.lafox.net NIC handle: MKK83-UANIC

important meeting results
by Simon Gloßner 18 Nov '06

18 Nov '06

Hi, on November 14th we hold a meeting concering contrib and ports in general. 1) Perhaps you have already remarked that we have two different projects in our bug tracker (flyspray) from now on. That means that you have to check the project 'CRUX-Contrib' regularly to get informed of a bug which could be in one of your (contrib) ports. And once again, create a flyspray account if you haven't done that already. 2) In contrib there should be _no_ duplicates of core/opt ports! Every port which is already in core/opt should not be in contrib, too. 3) Use the standard email format! For example: Simon Gloßner, viper at hometux dot de Simone Rota, sip at varlock dot com Regards Simon

Duplicates
by Mark Rosenstand 17 Nov '06

17 Nov '06

Hi, It seems there are duplicates of pkgutils, ports and possibly other core packages in contrib. I don't mind people duplicating core (or opt) ports in their personal repositories, but could we please keep contrib free of them?

Thanks for your work, Danny. Actually I found two small bugs (hdf5, speex), and I don't see the reason for the 'chown -R root:root $PKG' line you have in most of your ports. They are useless as long as your are working with fakeroot. At all your ports are fine now and I second your application. regards Juergen -- Juergen Daubert | mailto:jue@jue.li Korb, Germany | http://jue.li/crux

CVS versions in general, imlib2 in particular
by Mark Rosenstand 14 Nov '06

14 Nov '06

Hi, I had imlib2 installed from when it was in opt, and now that it's back in the new contrib, I noticed that the version had changed from 1.2.001 to "cvs-1" 1.3.0 was released on September 28, so I'm not really sure why pulling from CVS is needed (since it should be avoided if at all possible - it breaks offline builds, for example) I'm also wondering why sources are pulled from HEAD - how can this possibly be tested? At least versioning ala 20061113 could be used, and then pass -D $version to the cvs commands. This means people get a know-to-work revision (though not md5sum'ed) and it's still easy to bump to a newer checkout. Don't get me wrong, I think it's cool that some people want to stay on the bleeding edge, but could it please be done in seperate ports ala imlib2-cvs?

First of all thanks for cleaning-up your ports, prtverify still finds some errors, see attached log. I've done the test with all ports having the .sync file in it, but not the others. To keep the log small I've removed all messages about the wrong email address in the Maintainer header. Please use the following: Danny Rawlins, romster at shortcircuit dot net dot au Please drop us a note if you are done, so we can decide further. Thanks and kind regards Jürgen -- Juergen Daubert | mailto:jue@jue.li Korb, Germany | http://jue.li/crux

crux application
by Juergen Daubert 09 Nov '06

09 Nov '06

Hi Danny, a quick check of your ports with prtverify gives me a lot of error messages. I'd expect that the applicant has already done those test, that's the reason why we have a tool like prtverify. Some other points: - remove CVS $Id: tag - remove tabs from headers - remove additional headers Recommended, Optional and Category If these bugs are fixed, I'll have another look at the ports.

User-Agent: Mail/News 1.5.0.7 (X11/20060919) Hello all the ports I had in contrib will be removed since all of my ports have shifted to there own collection located here: http://romster.shortcircuit.net.au/crux/ you can hopefully sync with this file: http://romster.shortcircuit.net.au/crux/romster.httpup I would like to re-sync the ports i originally had in contrib, and have been in the past for quite sometime now, (forgot how long). sorry for any inconveniences if anyone is using any of my ports, there will be some roughness to sort out as I settle in but thats to be expected, and I hope I can be apart of this community in the future, and I'll maintain my ports to the best of my knolodge, jsut to recap I'm limiting myself to a few areas that I'm interesed in keeping, librarys for all of my ports, and ones I find quite useful to add as others will more than likely use them in the future, that arn't in core, opt or contrib. Being into electronics and music, I'll be trying to cover them areas more, and web development, and anything else that takes my fancy. Comments, suggestions are welcome. <Romster> Danny Rawlins _______________________________________________ crux-contrib mailing list crux-contrib(a)lists.crux.nu http://lists.crux.nu/mailman/listinfo/crux-contrib ----- End forwarded message ----- ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Juergen Daubert | mailto:jue@jue.li Korb, Germany | http://jue.li/crux

new contrib repo
by Simon Gloßner 07 Nov '06

07 Nov '06

Hi, today Simone replaced the old contrib with the new one. To use it it's necessary to update your 'contrib.rsync' in '/etc/ports'. You can do this by fetching the new one [1] and putting it into '/etc/ports' or you can just update the core port 'ports' and move 'contrib.rsync.inactive' to 'contrib.rsync'. There is also an _temporary_ repo called 'contrib-old' where you can find ports of the old contrib, so you don't have to reinvent them. Get this repo by putting 'contrib-old.rsync' [2] to '/etc/ports'. This repo will be removed in one month or so. Please keep that in mind! Regards Simon [1] http://crux.nu/portdb/?a=getup&q=contrib [2] http://crux.nu/portdb/?a=getup&q=contrib-old
