Package tools WIP

Florent Thoumie — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 16:43:27 +0000

Looks like I got myself into trouble again.

After I accepted a hat from portmgr, I started looking at pkg_install again. I’ve already done some cleaning which I mentioned previously but it now seems like i have a new part-time job.

I’m working on a config file support right now. I’ve done some more cleaning up (removing FreeBSD 5.x support, fixing pkg_info ftp://...). I’ll have a look at PRs later.

Code is living at http://git.xbsd.org/projects/pkg-install/. To check it out:

$ git clone git://git.xbsd.org/projects/pkg-install.git
$ cd pkg-install
$ git fetch origin cleanup:cleanup (if you want the cleanup branch)
$ git fetch origin config:config (if you want the config branch)

More info on FooKits

Florent Thoumie — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 11:23:48 +0000

I committed the consolekit port some days ago and added an option to gdm to use it. It’s been working well so far, though you can’t do much right now (except ck-list-sessions). Some hours later, the patches have been integrated in the freedesktop repo.

Marcus also wrote a kqueue backend for latest version of PolicyKit, still to be tested. I don’t think it’s backwards compatible so it probably will have to wait a bit before it ends up in ports.

ConsoleKit and pals

Florent Thoumie — Sun, 26 Aug 2007 03:38:15 +0000

Ok, so if you’ve been reading planet.gnome.org lately, you’ve read a couple of posts about PackageKit. I’m not going to write a lot about it cause reading Richard’s blog is the best source of information you’ll get.

PackageKit depends on recent versions of all the freedesktop hype stuff (PolicyKit, ConsoleKit, ...). While we have PolicyKit in FreeBSD ports, the version is a bit outdated. The latest one depends on inotify (IIRC) which I’ve disabled in a private git repo to make it compile properly and ConsoleKit. I’ll push these changes tomorrow. Marcus wrote the FreeBSD backend for ConsoleKit faster than I wrote the email saying I started to work on it. The repos are at http://git.xbsd.org/ if you feel like doing some FreeBSD porting stuff (hint: git-clone http://git.xbsd.org/freedesktop/blah.git, where blah is consolekit, policykit or packagekit).

Happy new year

Florent Thoumie — Wed, 03 Jan 2007 01:51:05 +0000

I’m finally back from France so I can focus on (important) work.

I’ve added compiz 0.3.6 to the exp tree and updated beryl to 0.1.4 (still have to add heliodor and aquamarine). I’ve also updated a few ports and fixed some issues (dri detection on !i386, removed sun drivers from the build on !sparc64). At the same time I updated the instructions to upgrade xorg from 6.9 to 7.2-RC2 in the wiki so if you have time, please test and report both success and failures.

Tomorrow I’ll create a xdist-lite port to install a minimal X.org distribution. If you still have unresolved issues with the current git tree, please send me an email (I obviously accept patches ). Marius sent me a diff to improve sparc64 support which will be committed also tomorrow.

Edit: I forgot to mention FreeBSD/beryl got youtube’d

X.org experimental ports updated to 7.2-RC3

Florent Thoumie — Fri, 08 Dec 2006 01:31:54 +0000

Didn’t take too long but still was a necessary step. At the same time I had to update Mesa ports to 6.5.2 (and create a missing libGLw port which was needed by a few ports). X.org 7.2 is due on the 11th of December so I guess we won’t have a release candidate again.
p. Kris has been running two experimental builds on pointyhat and we already fixed a couple of ports (actually first exp-build cause 250 mails to be sent to me overnight). There are still a few outstanding issues (mainly a packing list issue with some font ports) but they’re mostly a matter of setting USE_GL or USE_XORG to the right value. The bad news is that modularity caused a big slow down on the build and it may delay the merge of the X.org ports in the tree. I won’t be able to work on fixing ports this weekend but will try to get most of them fixed next week.

In other news, Beryl 0.1.3 is supposed to be released tomor^Wtoday (8th of December), so expect a fast update of the ports (cause there are a lot of nice new features ).

X.org 7.2-RC2 experimental build will start soon(ish)

Florent Thoumie — Mon, 27 Nov 2006 13:55:46 +0000

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 off) but he’s been sending emails about non X11BASE-clean ports on ports, so I guess he just likes being busy

I’m almost right on time, since I said I’d have everything ready to start builds in december. I guess X.org is waiting for Mesa 6.5.2 to release a new xorg-server release (and then 7.2). I’m now working on an upgrade path. Hopefully it will be in the wiki page by tomorrow.

Edit: I just added the upgrade commands to the wiki.

Beryl ports hit the experimental X.org tree

Florent Thoumie — Fri, 24 Nov 2006 14:22:49 +0000

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 for xorg, so test test test!

Rene Ladan has reported that libxcb is still broken on CURRENT. Will try to fix it this week end.

Edit: It has been reported that it works fine with nvidia beta driver 9629.

FreeBSD Ports for X.org X11R7.2-RC2 ready

Florent Thoumie — Wed, 22 Nov 2006 22:55:14 +0000

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.

Latest news about FreeBSD/xorg

Florent Thoumie — Tue, 21 Nov 2006 16:15:45 +0000

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 Mesa HEAD snapshot. Some ports got outdated, some others lacked a PORTEPOCH bump, some were still categorized in x11 though they moved to x11-fonts, ...

Well, that’s what you get when you try experimental stuff. Anyway I’ve fixed most of those issues, so that anything in the git tree should be alright (except xf86-input ports besides mouse/keyboard/evdev). If you’re on IRC, you probably already know that I won’t be maintaining those ports once they reach the original ports tree. Since it’s becoming a burden to make sure all pieces fit together and stuff, I’ve also decided that I would stop updating ports after X.org 7.2 will be released (hopefully in 3 days). Once all the ports are up-to-date, I’ll focus on fixing bugs in those ports and making sure (with Kris probably) that the merge doesn’t break too much things.

I’m getting really bored with all this X.org porting work but I’ll try to deliver beryl ports at the same time so that people can benefit from their new xserver as soon as possible. Ports are still at 0.1.1 but updating to 0.1.2 shouldn’t be too hard (there are a few new ports to create). Stay tuned.
