I’ve been talking to Kris yesterday since the ports are almost ready, and he asked me to send him a tarball of the tree. After some INDEX commits fixes, I sent him one. Not sure when he will start building it on pointyhat since he’s currently travelling (everybody has the right to take some days [...]

As I said, I upgraded the beryl/emerald ports to 0.1.2 and pushed them to the shared git repository. It builds/packages fine but I actually haven’t run-tested them yet. This will have to wait a couple of hours again. I hope to get as many bugs reports (or better success reports) for beryl as I got [...]

i just pushed my local changes. Not much to say. There are still a few packing list issues with fonts. I’ll investigate this week end. Starting in 5 minutes, I’ll work on updating my beryl ports to 0.1.2 and create the missings ones.

Have a look at the x11@ archives for more information.

I’ve been quite lazy since I came back from EuroBSDCon. Things were in pretty bad shape when I left for Milan. The latest update of libX11 depended on libxcb which had a broken dependency on pthreads. Most xf86-input ports were broken after the latest inputproto update. I couldn’t build latest xorg-server because it required a [...]

Well this second version doesn’t add much to the first one but it’s worth an update. First the command is now called “include” rather than “#include”, and you don’t need the chevrons anymore. Just put pfctl.cpp in /sbin, chmod it 755 and set pf_program to /sbin/pfctl.cpp in /etc/rc.conf.

This is particularly useful when you have servers [...]

Might be the first one to blog about that.

We’re in unimi.it according to the wireless networks i can see. That’s somewhere in Milan (no idea where it is actually). Dario has been kind enough to pick Max and myself at the hotel and bring us here.

Wireless is up and running and the next step will [...]

Yesterday (or was it two days ago?), I was looking for a way to include a sub-ruleset in pf.conf from a different file and noticed that it wasn’t possible without a patch. I asked dhartmei (Daniel Hartmeier, the main developer of pf) if there was a chance to see it committed upstream (read: in the [...]

After 3 days of fight with xorg-server, mesa, dri and beryl, I’ve finally managed to make it work on my Dell Latitude D620 (with Intel i945GM). Here is the screenshot. Agreed, there’s not much to see, and the screenshot isn’t the nicest one you have seen. The laptop is running -CURRENT with all the debugging [...]
