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). Problematic file: /usr/local/etc/periodic/security/405.pkg-base-audit Failed to install the following 1 […]

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 […]

Python 2.7.18 on FreeBSD
Update 2020-05-06 Python 2.7.18 was officially added to the ports collection in r534040. I didn’t even bother searching for a PR on the matter, and sure enough, PR 245776 exists and did a more thorough job than my own efforts. While Python 2.x.y is EoL, Python 2.7.18 was released a week ago, on 2020-04-20.
