I synced the freebsd sources into .local/src because I want to make a edit to the default bourne shell (I hate how ``sudo !!`` doesnt work like in bash). All is well except that in a lot of the makefiles angle brackets are used and not all of the .mk files included are on my root system. How should I go about compiling this change?

just noticed that 13.2 will have in-kernel wireguard support out of the box, great news :)

This morning some more security realted patches went onto the FreshPorts / FreshSource hosts. Please change your password. freshports.wordpress.com/2023/03/24/more-on-security-issues

internal hdd drives should be mounted to /mnt and removable external usb drives and usb devices should go to /media and utilize the automount service and uncommenting the /media line in /etc/auto_master?

I only ever use /mnt for temporary uses

Internal disks or permanently attached external ones I have mountpoints for in /data

Grabunhold_: 5 yrs later than in linux, phantastic

wwt: well, there was the userspace implementation and i'm just happy we're getting there :)

Say I have a bunch of packages installed named py38-*

But Python 3.8 isn't even on the system. . . it's got python 3.9.

How do I fix?

symlink to python and invoke python?

CrtxReavr: cannot upgrade them?

Issue was with the naming of the installed packages. . . didn't effect the files installed to /usr/local/

I just constructed a one-liner to pkg delete them all, and re-installed them to appease my CDO.

works too :-)

And no, all 'pkg upgrade' did was re-install python3.8.

Honstly though. . . I think we shoudl be handling python packages differently.

are you in quaterly or latest? On my system, I use latest, python3.9 is installed

This is a 12.3pX box (currently upgrading to 12.4pX).

ah !… ok.

you're right, if it works don't fix it!

getting Undefined symbol "__libc_start1@FBSD_1.7" for all installed packages on fresh install of -CURRENT

If I'm using IP_HDRINCL with RAW_IP sockets to modify the SRC IP, how do I specify the interface? FreeBSD doesn't seem to have SO_BINDTODEVICE? IP_SENDSRCADDR perhaps?

oh, it's probably IP_BINDANY + bind()

fixed the problem by uninstalling -CURRENT

Probably for the best; if you're running -CURRENT, you're expected to keep track of src/UPDATING, FreeBSD_version bumps for ports, and the current@ mailing list.

in the past when i used -CURRENT, i was able to keep up src/ updating fine

but i never expected this to happen, so i guess indeed for the best

-CURRENT is great if you're actively developing on FreeBSD or are a FreeBSD developer, or someone who has an absolute desperate need to be on the bleeding edge where breakage is most likely to occur.

i installed for the formerest actually, so i could report bugs and such

Even for FreeBSD developers, it's not _required_

and maybe learn how to fix kernel bugs

but... if i need that i can install current on a usb drive anyway

That's a fine reason too, but there's nothing wrong with doing it in a virtual machine if you want something stable.

does vbox run on fbsd?

well, bhyve provides roughly the same functionality, but yes

i remember reading bhyve was limited

For what it's worth, the lmessage you got is probably because freebsd_version was bumped but the new packages are in the process of being built or will be built.

Limited in what sense?

no graphics?

It uses the exact same hardware-accelerated virtualization.

there was some gotcha, maybe was thinking of something else

Graphics in what sense? UEFI-GOP can output via VNC, or are you looking for 3D acceleration?

3d accel

It's true that bhyve doesn't do 3D acceleration, but peripheral virtualization isn't exactly uniformly implemented across any other hypervisor, so there isn't really a standard that FreeBSD can implement.

Why do you need 3D acceleration for a -CURRENT machine, if you're looking to use it for development?

did armv6-freebsd-sysroot package get purged? I used to be able to install this on 12.2 and now I get an error saying it is unavailable. Not available on 12.3 either?

can bhyve draw 2d graphics though? and are there clients for it?

synfinatic: freshports.org/devel/freebsd-sysroot doesn't look like it, though for what it's worth, packages for 12.3 don't really exist yet.

Title: FreshPorts -- devel/freebsd-sysroot: FreeBSD 12.4-RELEASE aarch64 sysroot

nekobit: that's the UEFI-GOP is for

wait, 12.3, not 12.4?

Sorry, I can't keep track of the minor versions

synfinatic: portsfallout.com/fallout?port=devel%2Ffreebsd-sysroot%24 looks like the port is broken

Title: Fallout list - FreeBSD pkg-fallout

building for pfSense 2.6 which is 12.3. previous was matching 2.5 which was 12.2 but now it's gone

You're gonna have to ask the pfSense community. This is #FreeBSD.

FreeBSD can't really provide packages for downstream projects.

wait... I'm installing FreeBSD 12.2 / 12.3 via Vagrant. not pfSense

well looks like the comment on 2022.11.21 is the indication of the effective purge ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
