I need to know how users will get their own packages and place somewhere. I need to know how users would assign their environment variables to use their clang. I need to know typical paths for such an occasion. 04:59:10 I need to make sure users don't really need to configure anything once they try to run this build system 05:00:09 mictty, Unix machines have been used for decades in universities and other teaching environments. You can keep things simple. Or make them as complicated and strong for security as you need. 05:00:26 mutiuser,mutitasking, perhaps UID/GID 05:00:39 The simple case is just to count on regular Unix security in the classic way. 05:00:58 Or you could set everyone up inside their own jail where they are strongly restricted. 05:01:03 The choice is up to you. 05:01:28 3 users https://imgur.com/RWy9j4x sun 2/120 1984 $16,900.00 05:01:29 Title: Imgur: The magic of the Internet 05:01:46 focus on the specs of what was offered 05:02:21 atime,ctime,mtime, solaris bsm audits 05:02:26 That advert from 1984 is so quaint now. 05:02:48 i use to telnet for ada compiler cause my college could not afford them 05:03:02 insecure telnet/ftp 05:03:47 gopher/usenet rocked on amber display 05:05:55 telnet, ftp, rlogin, those were the best available because encryption was a munition restricted by the ITAR.

Am I not understanding how the options actually work? 06:49:04 backslash as in "\"? 06:55:08 parv 06:55:25 mictty, Yes? 06:55:46 do you use CXXFLAGS 06:59:30 No, for I do not compile software often enough, outside of The Ports, where that would matter 07:00:18 do you have your users you administrate 07:01:09 I don't. I am not the person who could advise you on your project (from your earlier posts) 07:01:44 thank you parv. it still helps 10:07:58 Hello 10:08:12 Do you know how can I apply the aspell filters for "HTML" and "url" in the API? 10:08:18 in command line mode there's "aspell -a --mode=url" 10:46:40 cadmio: you mean such an util? 10:47:42 it seems there exists a filter https://bpa.st/5QLQ but I don't know how to use it 10:47:43 Title: View paste 5QLQ 10:50:24 cadmio: it looks like a set of interface... 10:52:28 do you think there's a possibility to apply the filter in the API? 11:09:14 cadmio: we can script to work between your file and aspell... 11:09:49 this is what I've at the moment https://bpa.st/RGMA#1L52 11:09:51 Title: View paste RGMA 11:10:06 it works well but it corrects urls like ".html" words 11:19:08 cadmio: what makes you stick to c for this kind of task? 11:20:27 I written the whole program now; I simply wanted to add a spell checker 11:21:49 cadmio: you can always syscall 11:25:49 cadmio: stdlib has system 11:26:46 but it's a pity to resort to syscall when there's the library which in the end works well 11:27:14 cadmio: I thought you do once and throw away code 12:15:37 parv: that was a really cool talk 12:19:55 why mysql has no just 'mysql' like sqlite3? 12:24:11 who did this 12:38:05 mictty: of course it does 12:44:10 you'll have to install one of these https://codeberg.org/FreeBSD/freebsd-ports/src/branch/main/databases/mysql56-client/Makefile#L20 12:44:13 Title: freebsd-ports/Makefile at main - freebsd-ports - Codeberg.org 12:44:49 codeberg based 13:16:16 I installed 12.3 and everything seemed to be fine and then I went into the bois and I could not find the install in the menu to boot it. Is that a know problem? I thought since the them drive for the install was seen the bois would see my install. I have Windows, Linux . Does freebsd have to have its bootload first or something? 13:33:18 tarel2, you using grub from linux to boot windows and linux ? 13:34:54 tarel2, and witch distro linux you use 13:52:51 hi all 13:53:10 I have a hdd ssd/gpt/ntfs with dual boot windows 10 and linux. I can't mount it in freebsd. 13:53:50 Freebsd is installed on another hdd, separate, all ssd and all gpt. 13:54:09 HDD with windows and Linux I put them with a usb system. 13:55:14 So, I change the hdds between them... 13:56:17 I can't mount the hdd. I can't even visualize it. 13:57:43 I'm not using grub, I say the BIOS because that's what I boot into, I manually select whatever operating system from there. And it doesn't appear in the list. That wasn't so in the past. 13:57:45 I come from the Linux World! I want to stay with FreeBSD! :D 13:59:11 The big I have ran frebsd and openbsd I have enjoyed how everything works. I was on a pi so the hardware support was lacking . 13:59:51 But arguably, the Raspberry Pi is not a normal piece of hardware. 14:00:01 So I would expect the hardware support not to be there. 14:10:43 yo9fah: :D 14:59:19 mictty: :P 15:09:06 is there a way to explore a file with the extension .core? 15:09:07 is there a way to mark a package as required, so it won't be *falsely* autoremoved? 15:09:26 you can do pkg lock package 15:13:15 Helper: will that still allow to upgrade it tho? 15:13:28 nop 15:13:31 it wont 15:14:00 the only way to upgrade it it will be if you do pkg unlock package. 15:14:06 and then running pkg upgrade 15:16:31 Helper: yes, with lldb, but it's somewhat complicated 15:17:05 oh I see. 15:31:26 I have muliboot windows and Linux , I use the bio to chose the os and boot alot . Its older machine , Asus m5 a97 le 2.0. I think I got the newest 13 and my machine just froze the asus logo. I installed with 12.3 but I could not find freebsd in the bio boot menu. 12.4 , download for the install got stuck at 98% and I tried more then one 15:31:27 server. Is my computer not something that works with Freebsd? 15:43:49 what are you downloading that gets stuck? 16:18:25 Helper: would be cool if pkg-lock(8) allowed a Version match, too. so you could go: pkg-lock FreeBSD-fetch -s >=13.1 16:21:03 * meena is just searching for a workaround for https://bugs.freebsd.org/254050 16:23:28 i never knew about those packages 16:24:53 rtprio: i provide a repo for people to try and feel the same pain as i do: https://alpha.pkgbase.live/ 16:24:55 Title: Unofficial FreeBSD pkgbase repository 16:25:51 i guess i eithr used the distrubution files or build from source 16:26:13 that's interesting tho 16:37:13 I've seen people build extremely small images / jails with PkgBase, and I'm kinda impressed 16:38:00 (i usually put Puppet as default on everything, which instantly ruins any chance of it being smol) 16:38:52 I need find a better way to do configuration management. 16:40:26 or maybe i just give up on that, and use buildah to build a fresh image every time there's a change 16:49:19 _xor: could i run nomad on my laptop to run a (podman) deployment on a cloud server? 17:01:06 tarel2, when you boot linux do you get grub hoot menu if yes update grub it will find freebsd and add to boot menu than you can boot it from there 17:01:56 meena: `pkg set -A 0 ...` ? check the examples of the pkg manpage for how to query those 17:06:10 ridcully: thanks! 17:51:42 Hi, could you help me understand this error? I just finished a system upgrade from 13.0 (aug21) to 13.1(dec22) and attempted 'portmaster -af', but it immediately dies with : not foundMk/Scripts/ports_env.sh: set: Illegal option -o pipefail 17:53:33 this is a 2020 issue, my previous OS's ports already had this flag in that file, so I'm extra baffled why this is showing up. 18:04:28 ultramage: i would try `pkg-static upgrade portmaster` and see if it still happens 18:04:40 ah, never mind, I see the problem now. the files got messed up during transfer. sh can't parse CRLF endings 18:05:52 it wasn't the command itself, it was the fact that it was the first non-comment line in the first file that was being executed by portmaster. 18:27:10 dos2unix it? 18:28:42 yup that was the quickfix I went with. 18:31:48 what the hell were you using to copy that didn't respect line endings? 18:41:31 ultramage, of course it can, that's what the $IFS environment variable is for. 18:42:14 I was forced to switch from svn to git for obtaining ports; I didn't have git bootstrapped on this thing yet, so I mirrored it to my pc and copied the files over. I didn't relize git crlf-ies by default. 18:46:14 CrtxReavr: I didn't know. I looked it up just now. Seems like it's a bash-only variable, ports run on sh. Sh seems to only handle LF line endings, and gets confused by the extra stray CRs 18:46:55 ultramage: i'd tar or zip it up the next time you need to do that, for safety 18:47:41 git by default will use the native system line endings. Same as for svn before. So... CRLF on Windows systems. :-( 18:48:06 wouldn't help, it was CRLF from the moment it was checked out, due to default git behavior. That behavior can be changed, but I'd need to re-checkout. git diff doesn't report everything as changed after I changed the setting, so it seems to auto-ignore that by default. 18:49:19 It's crazy but sh now includes bash'isms like pipefail and also has command line editing. Who knew? 18:49:37 you just need to flip core.autocrlf to 'input'. I was just tricked by all of git's meta files being LF 18:50:21 plus the fact that midnight commander only shows the ^M's in edit mode, it doesn't render them in view mode, which I was using to examine the problematic files 18:51:34 I wonder if the CR is the reason why the error message is rendered in such a weird way, without a space between the message and the file path : not foundMk/Scripts/ports_env.sh 18:52:21 ultramage, Bourne/POSIX shell definitely supports $IFS. Had to manipulte it many, many times. 18:52:21 or don't go copying around repos to windows systems >:| 18:53:22 does /bin/sh? it was fed a CRLF sh file and it crapped out on it, as I posted earlier. Then again, I have no idea how IFS works, so maybe it does if you actually set it 18:54:26 https://bpa.st/ZM2A 18:54:26 although, I don't think I'd want the OS configured to accept both, it's handy to be able to catch file encoding mistakes like that 18:54:27 Title: View paste ZM2A 18:56:04 ok, gotcha. can you use this to accept both LF and CRLF as a single line ending? My first guess is that if you put multiple things into that string, each becomes a separator, and CRLF would produce an empty line 18:57:24 IFS is not a good solution to line ending problems. 18:57:42 YOu can change it at will in a script. 18:58:24 rtprio: I was hasty. Also, regarding svn, svn by default copies the files as-is, unless you tag everything with eol-style property. 'native' would cause this same problem. 18:59:44 I somehow convinced myself by looking at files in .git/, that git runs fully on LF, forgetting that it doesn't and you can tweak that via .gitconfig 19:01:23 that said, it was really confusing how portmaster and Mk responded to a mis-encoded ports tree. I wonder if a safeguard against this could be added into the beginning of the process, so that when it trips, the error message isn't so misleading 19:01:32 first custom kernel success B) 19:02:13 Congratulations MantisOrientalis! Does this imply that there were earlier failures? 19:03:53 sigh... for kernel builds, I used to use MODULES_OVERRIDE= to only build the drivers I needed. Then one time the boot failed because freebsd split off something into a new mandatory module. Now I just build everything. 19:05:16 Hello Friends. I disabled sendmail (via rc.conf) and shutdown the process via the "service" command, however according to my /var/log/mail log, a sendmail process attempts to send an email to root@localhost with a log file daily at 3:00am. Any idea how I can surpress this email because it's filling up the log unncessicarily 19:06:51 sounds like the periodic daily summary report 19:06:54 RoyalYork: That's probably the periodic(8) output, you can change whether it gets mailed or put in a logfile in /etc/periodic.conf 19:08:06 ohh, that's an idea. I got so used to the daily e-mails, I didn't think about having them go elsewhere. Which log do they go to? 19:08:33 Catie: Thanks for this. Im new to BSD and have been scouring the man pages unsucessfully. 19:08:48 (though having the daily report in your face like that can help catch some issues early) 19:08:50 ultramage: I set mine to go to /var/log/{daily,weekly,monthly}.log, but keep the security mails coming straight to me 19:09:05 RoyalYork: Yeah, no worries! There's a whole damn lot to try and get used to 19:09:52 RoyalYork: the periodicity implied it was scheduled. Freebsd uses the usual /etc/crontab to start its periodic scripts, they default to 3am daily, 4am weekly 5am monthly I think. 19:12:14 Oh it looks like the default newsyslog.conf knows about the logfile names I used, which is probably why I used them in the first place 19:13:35 oh I see, makes sense. I went and deleted and commented out all unused log files, very early on, so I didn't realize this was a thing 19:16:24 maybe weird question: when I try to copy a directory from windows via smb, to a share of /tmp, I get "Failed to set folder attributes. The request is not supported.". This was before I updated the OS, and I haven't updated samba nor my file manager nor my OS in at least a year. I don't remember how long it's been doing this, just that in the past, it didn't. 19:18:24 I can process and network trace it later to see what exactly it's trying to do, just asking if it's something obvious. I didn't know tmpfs has operation restrictions 19:19:02 Catie: follow up to periodic if i may. Im reading the man page on periodic.conf(5). Says the conf resides in /etc/defaults but can be overidden with a file of the same name in /etc. Is there any downside to editing the file within /etc/defaults or is it best practice to use a separater override file in /etc? 19:19:24 RoyalYork: Best practice is to use the override file 19:19:46 Understood. Just to exercise the mind, whats the downside of editing the original? 19:20:42 RoyalYork: I think probably it's just that nobody will expect you to do so, honestly. Also there's more work for merging configuration files when update time rolls around, but that's not the biggest deal in the world 19:20:54 Thank you 19:21:14 I've always used the override files myself, so I couldn't really tell you if there are specific issues with editing the OS default 19:22:17 I guess its similar to what I do with rc.conf 19:28:24 ultramage: thanks for your help as well. looks like i accomplished my task. we'll see what the logs say at 3:00am 19:28:47 the override file is in the standard location in /etc, and it starts out empty so you can put in exactly the adjustments you need, and you can put in #comments describing why you put it in there. I use sysctl.conf the same way. 19:29:51 i'm on a ovh server and trying to get ipv6 setup with freebsd every time i get this ping6 google.com 19:29:52 ping6: UDP connect: No route to host 19:30:08 https://pastebin.com/1QUFDaWi is my periodic conf. I think I sat down one day and went through all the options and picked everything I found useful. There's a lot. 19:30:09 Title: # combine into single e-maildaily_status_security_inline="YES"weekly_status_ - Pastebin.com 19:31:33 sn00p: check ifconfig and netstat -arn, to see if your routable ipv6 address is there and that a default v6 route is there 19:32:57 how does ovh do ipv6? static configuration that they e-mailed you, placed right next to the static ipv4 configuration in rc.conf? 19:34:24 ultramage: very through conf file. i'll have to do that myself one day 19:36:24 ls 19:39:36 the more I play with freebsd, the more I realize man pages were the original google 19:47:45 having all the options and instructions right there, in a consistent format, came in handy countless times. Though there's also the freebsd handbook pages, and web search usually also helps. 20:09:56 Hello, I am trying to setup ipv6 on my ovh dedicated server, i get add net default: gateway 2001:41d0:0303:a2ff:00ff:00ff:00ff:00ff fib 0: Network is unreachable 20:09:57 and here is my rc.conf file https://pastebin.com/FH5wRY5m can anybody tell me what i'm doing wrong 20:09:58 Title: sendmail_enable="NONE"hostname="sn00p"ifconfig_ix0="DHCP"ifconfig_ix0_ipv6 - Pastebin.com 20:16:17 sn00p: you made a typo 20:16:53 also you might want to be consistent with the zero padding (303 or 0303) 20:17:28 I suspect there's a typo in the fourth part, your ip says a2df but your gateway says a2ff 20:19:54
