format_c, Yes. The Handbook is generally authoritative documentation.

Anyone notice odd things being install with latest repo on 14.3?

No. Odd such as?

Do you mean latest as in "Latest"? Sorry, I am using Quarterly.

Trying to uninstall gcc14 after that upgrade wants to uninstall a bit of other things that were not part of that upgrade.

It looks like one of the packages in the upgrade has new dependencies that were not there previously.

That's possible.

I am not sure how to do this exactly but maybe "pkg info firefox-esr" for the installed package compared with "pkg search -f firefox-esr" for the incoming package and compare them? And the same for the other packages?

I don't see what from that list would require binutils though. I have it installed here for bhyve

What I've had seen in the base due to a local repo it would install extra things (like binutils and couple others from that list) but then autoremove would remove them

Thinking that's the case I limited to just latest.. even disabled the other repo

Best I can it Imath enabling PYTHON

So it's all legit.

hm

so i bumped into the tomfoolery where ffmpeg gets updated and nvenc stops workign in jellyfin heh

i need to see how the path gets set for jellyfin so i can get it to call the script instead of actual ffmpeg

Macer: you can configure that in the web UI

or... wait, maybe they removed that setting for security reasons? in which case you'd have to set it in the XML config

ivy: yeah that's the first place i checked. it shows where ffmpeg is but it doesn't allow you to change it

(in the web ui)

but yeah. i slapped a ffmpeg script in there and renamed ffmpeg to ffmpeg.bin .. but pkg upgrade sort of squashed that .. i forgot about it lol

yeah, you used to be able to change it there but it turned every XSS into an arbitrary command execution vulnerability so they removed it

you can edit the XML config in /var somewhere (i want to say /var/db/jellyfin, but i use a custom path so i'm not sure if that's also the default)

i'll do it once i'm done backint it up with bastille

*backing

i just finished creating all the trickplay images and that took forever so i'd like to make sure i don't ever have to go through that again

even with the hardware help and using keyframes it still took like 2 weeks

on a side note though.... using freebsd and freebsd jails is moving along nicely

Macer: out of interest, do you use ffmpeg for HDR>SDR tonemapping? i saw they provide a custom ffmpeg for that on Linux to do something upstream doesn't do, wondering how much difference it makes in practice

i do for the proxmox container but that uses jellyfin-ffmpeg

also. when enabling it while using vaapi or qsv ... it won't play anything :)

but i haven't tried with the fbsd jellyfin server yet because i'm still working on setting it up

i know if you don't have it enabled and try to play DV content you get purple and pink video

hmm, i think all my DVs are hybrid DV/HDR10+ so hopefully that's okay... i was wondering if doing HDR10>SDR results in weird output or something. i should ask my housemates if they still have an SDR TVs, actually...

i haven't noticed it when i had it enabled

but tbf i don't know what i should be looking for. i'd guess if it didn't map properly it would be rather obvious like it is with DV

that moment where you update opnsense and it comes off teh rails requiring you to hard reboot it

i really need to get this 1u installed to replace it so i have ipmi for it lol

Macer: any problems with IPMI setup ?

mzar: for the one i was working on earlier? no. works great.

i have to do the same for this ancient 1u supermicro i'm going to use as a router later

well....

seems like the gomuks pkg was updated :/

and now it's the newer web based one instead of the terminal client

i don't understand how it got upgraded if there is no maintainer lol

For a while I had to move to Windows 11 due to my game development work. But I realized that the compiler for the Switch is really just a slightly modified version of LLVM's Clang toolkit, so I thought I could just set up Wine on FreeBSD, install all the rest of the tools, and move away from Windows (only drivers would be uncertain). But it seems like running anything under Wine requires me to

execute "/usr/local/share/wine/pkg32.sh install wine mesa-dri", and since FreeBSD 15 has no 32-bit support anymore, the script will run FreeBSD 14's repositories, and ultimately fail with error messages "Unable to update repository XLibre" and "Error updating repositories!". Not sure why it wants to update XLibre too, but it happens.

technically an update can be committed to a port even if it doesn't have a maintainer

with 15 you can still install the i386 components

there is no i386 kernel anymore

So I guess there's something else going on then.

ivy: yeah i see that.

the pkg info is from .. i guess a build bot? lol

all packages are built by the automated builders (which run poudriere)

Maintainer : ports⊙Fo

yeah

this is one where it actually hurt lol.. i really don't feel like jumping through the hoops to sort out how to build a gomuks legacy bin

i wonder if i could get away with running the linux bin

2026-01-16T04:42:52.563-06:00 WRN Failed to open frontend index.html error="open index.html: file does not exist"

you can always get away of here running Linux

🤔 it doesn't have index.html baked in?

Macer: if the old version of the software provides some useful functionality, you could add it as a new port

mzar: i already am with proxmox. i'm trying to shift over to fbsd

although whether that would be accepted depends on the situation, i don't know what a gomuks is so hard to say

it's a (well... was) a terminal based matrix client

which then became a backend with a built in web front end with a terminal front end being worked on

which is odd because the terminal bin was added quite a while ago but the pkg doesn't have it

that sounds like a case for providing net-im/gomuks1 (or whatever the old version is), if you're interested perhaps ask in hash freebsd-ports

(ok, how do i type a hash symbol on the UK Mac keyboard on Linux?...)

wow. and the pkg overwrites the config lol

glad i have that elsewhere. let me uninstall this and see if i can get this going with the linux bin

#### ok there we go, switched to a US layout

Macer: a port overwriting existing configuration is a bug, please file a PR. it should install .sample files instead

some lame ports don't follow this rule

Macer: it will be best to submit a PR with the patch fixing it

looks like py-cryptography wants to drop OpenSSL support: cryptography.io/en/latest/statements/state-of-openssl

... is there breakage on 15-s re: sndstat?

not afaict, what isn't working?

oh the -s is for stable? I missed that

Update: I figured out why the Wine command from before didn't work. I had an XLibre repo that wasn't working anymore. I removed it, considering that it's now being packaged in the ports tree anyway.

Running that script I noticed that it's trying to install Wayland for whatever reason, even though I don't even use anything that depends on it. So I thought, Gentoo has a way to block unwanted dependencies, does FreeBSD have something similar to that?

I'm not going to say that Wayland = evil or something, it's just unnecessary for me.

well something depends on it or it wouldn't be installed

 

heh

that was a tmux command-key typo

jus as a hypothetical: how involved would it be to connect a new mandir to the build system

man0 or mana ?

man0 seems obvious s far from my explorations, idem for mana

but i'm trying to attach "man10"

probably would need a lot of special casing

(I should probably have selected 0 or a instead of 10, as the mansect I'm using for informational pages in my fork)

sweet

didn't realize that fbsd had p5-xmltv
