its too bad freebsd doesn’t use launchd

its right up freebsd’s alley, its a much more complicated and harder to use system than cron :P but once you figure it out, its a really good system

Same applies to Git vs Subversion. Simplicity has its merit.

hm, is there a way to get the list of files from a package from a remote repo? most python ports are shitty and don't provide a plist and pkg rquery doesn't support %Fp

I'm curious if anyone had to migrate jails from 14 to 15. If so, did anything break on you?

WadeGIMPBC: I migrated all mine without any issue.

ek, thhanks

Sure thing

I'm updating sylve to 0.2.3 and it's quite interesting. it asks to install older versions of its dependencies, of which the newest versions are already installed. e.g. it asks for samba416 when samba423 is installed. the latest commit to the port shows that samba became a runtime dependency, but it seems like the pkg doesn't allow me to select

samba426 as an alternative?

here's the pkg install log: paste.rs/kfEDO

Xinayder: Did you use ports to install the package and now you're using packages?

... Well, upgrading using packages?

I could've definitely worded that better.

I used packages to install the package previously

I've never used Sylve before (although, I do want to check it out.) Not sure where the regression would be coming from.

Oh, wait. Are you saying you've already installed samba423 separately?

Packages don't check against other currently installed packages. They just require whatever they were built (almost always the default versions of each port/pkg.)

So, if the default version of Samba is 4.16 (which I believe it is at the moment), then the package would be built against that and therefore require it as a dependency.

yeah thats the issue I guess. I guess I can just uninstall samba423 and/or lock it?

Best bet would be uninstall it and just let the Sylve package do it's thing.

The package upgrade might actually handle everything for you (uninstall 423 and install 416 instead)

Xinayder: well, samba416 and samba423 are diffrent packages, not diffrent versions of the same package, as some programs have specific requirements for the samba version and pkg doesn't have anything like the alternatives system on debian

ek, that was the case. I'm happy it managed that for me automatically

Xinayder: Glad to hear it!
