Upgrading PostgreSQL and PHP
One thing has annoyed me for years, and that is the ports tree refusing me to configure and download newer versions of PHP and PostgreSQL while an older one is installed.

Commit 94af43935c4e2709577cb4e4723daf9d7cb91494 removed PORTEPOCH for math/py-kiwisolver. The previous version number, 1.3.2,1, is considered higher than the current one, 1.4.3. py38-kiwisolver-1.3.2,1 > succeeds index (index has 1.4.3) Installation by force is the only way forward.

ports-mgmt/pkg 1.18.1 vs security/base-audit 0.5 doesn’t seem to agree on who should be responsible for /usr/local/etc/periodic/security/405.pkg-base-audit. I believe the latter port should take charge, but maybe I’m wrong. ===> Installing existing package /packages/All/base-audit-0.5.pkg Installing base-audit-0.5… pkg-static: base-audit-0.5 conflicts with pkg-1.18.1 (installs files into the same place).

I use Synth to build my own packages. On a test system running stable/13, Synth had issues with textproc/py-sphinxcontrib-applehelp@py39.

For some unexplained reasons sysutils/tmux fails to be built by Synth on CURRENT when the UTF8PROC option is set. The configure script simply fails to locate utf8proc.h.

Edit /etc/make.conf and /usr/local/etc/synth/LiveSystem-make.conf, changing DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=python=3.7 to DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=python=3.8, and DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=python3=3.7 to DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=python3=python3.8.

Commit 0b7f1af804f06a285717b490bef80e24648adcbe for src/main and commit 6e1fe6d26ea2939656c8286ccbd105a89d3349a3 for src/stable/13 bumped the version number for gnu/lib/libdialog from 8 to 9. Software such as ports-mgmt/dialog4ports complain when run, but make config doesn’t care when dialog4ports is being run around in the ports tree.

Mailman 2.1 has served its purpose at work for several years. Python 2 is at its end of life in FreeBSD. It’s time to move on to Mailman 3 and Python 3, or to Sympa if I’m unsuccessful in getting Mailman 3 up & running. I’ll try and document each step along the way.

r554306 fixed the problem, as users of Poudriere was equally affected.

shells/starship and custom modules for SVN
I recently discovered Starship cross-shell prompt, available in the FreeBSD ports collections as shells/starship. Since there’s no dedicated module for handling Subversion working copies, I added three custom modules to my configuration file. This way I can see the global and the local revision numbers, and a summary of the status flags of the files […]
