Easier patching with pkgmk
by Willy Goiffon 26 May '16

26 May '16

Hi everyone, I had an idea to make software patching easier, and lower the need to fork ports. Sometimes, I just fork some port from contrib because I want to add a patch (eg: thttpd), or I need to modify a file before actually compiling the software (eg: config.h on contrib/st). I figured out that by adding a single variable to `/etc/pkgmk.conf`, it would be easier to "tweak" sofwares by patching them beforehand: ``` /etc/pkgmk.conf [...] PKGMK_PATCH_DIR=/usr/patch And then, have ports include something like: ``` /usr/port/contrib/example/PKgfile [...] cd $name-$version cat $PKGMK_PATCH_DIR/$name/*.diff | patch -Np1 make make DESTDIR=$PKG PREFIX=/usr MANDIR=/usr/man install So if I need a patch for thttpd, I'll just add it to `/usr/patch/thttpd`. To have the `st` port configured with my `config.h`, I'll just create a patch for it in `/usr/patch/st`. All ports might not need this obviously, but this could result in a simple and efficient way to let user tweak packages from the "official" port trees without any need to actually fork them, and double the effort. What do you think about it? -- Willy Goiffon (z3bra on #crux)

No Wi-Fi on Notebook with Crux 3.1
by sergiocruz90 21 Oct '15

21 Oct '15

Hi, First of all, I'm very fascinating about Crux! I really like about the ports system and the fast this distro is (I tested others source-based OS like FreeBSD before, so I enjoy this too much!) Three days ago, I've installed Crux on my Notebook and my Wi-Fi interface doesn't work. The wireless card is a Ralink RT3090 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe, and in Linux kernel options I've checked to compile the Ralink driver support modules (including the Ralink rt30xx module) but when I try bring it up I got: bash-4.3# ip link set wlp2s0 up RTNETLINK answers: No such file or directory My wireles card lspci output: bash-4.3# lspci | grep Network02:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT3090 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe and at boot time I always get this error (taken from dmesg command): [ 8834.432932] ieee80211 phy0: rt2x00lib_request_firmware: Info - Loading firmware file 'rt2860.bin'[ 8834.432958] ieee80211 phy0: rt2x00lib_request_firmware: Error - Failed to request Firmware I'd try too install the development version of Linux kernel (4.3.0-rc3), but I cannot install the Nvidia graphics from ports (even after modify the Pkgfile to get the Nvidia's last version and avoid patch it for 3.12.4 current Crux's kernel) or binary installer, so I'm stuck with 3.12.4 version until next Crux release. Did I miss something while I configurate the kernel? Will I try the development version of Crux with 4.0.6 kernel version? Sorry if my English is bad, is not my native language. Thank you.
