mozilla
Posted about 6 years ago
While we're still working on it, I am now able to make install the mozilla browser.  We still need to get mail, chatzilla and other things working with it.

seamonkey or firefox would be nice as mozilla is a bit old.  I do ... [More] hope we'll get there eventually.  Mozilla still runs faster than the linux browser on my system.

Special thanks to archite and ctriv for helping with this port.... [Less]
linux-firefox, linux-thunderbird, linux-seamonkey, etc
Posted about 6 years ago
The linux versions of these ports should be properly installing their linux-portname script to start them.  Previously, the path was wrong and set to a fake destdir.  I fixed this last night.  The port versions were not bumped ... [More] though.  If you installed any of these ports before the mports changes, you don't need to do anything.

I'm committing a few improvements to src/sys/dev/firewire today.  Most of these changes were done in the FreeBSD project by Hidet... [Less]
Its native time
Posted about 6 years ago
I was going to write about my progress with pidgin tonight.  Its now included in ports (2.0 beta 7) with 2.0 release almost working. 

I could write about how ctriv has fixed many of the ports in devel and several other categories ... [More] lately.

That's not the big news though.  One of our largest hurdles has been getting a native web browser on MidnightBSD.  When I say native, I mean really native.  Opera was working before our mports fake changes, but... [Less]
CVSup server
Posted about 6 years ago
I'm making changes to the CVSup server tonight. If you are using CVSup to fetch mports, note the example supfile was changed. The change was checked into current and stable.

For those of you mirroring MidnightBSD CVSup, we now ... [More] support prefixes as the other BSD projects do. I'm still testing and playing around with a few things.

If you wish to setup a cvsup mirror site, these directions may now be useful. http://motoyuki.bsdclub.org/BSD/cvsup.html

I've also enabled some conn... [Less]
Website in CVS
Posted about 6 years ago
I don't recall if I announced this, but I added our website to cvs a few weeks ago. The module is "www". ...
Russian website translation
Posted about 6 years ago
I've just added several translated documents to the midnightbsd.org website. Special thanks to Klu for translating them. ...
Hello and mports...
Posted about 6 years ago
I should introduce myself. I'm ctriv; one of the newer comitters here on the project. I've been working on changes to our mports system.

As mentioned earlier, ports now "fake" install into a temporary directory and a package is ... [More] made from that temporary directory. This package is then installed with pkg_add. This makes the logic of the ports system much simpler. Everything builds a package. Ports only need to know how to build the package. Much of the work that pkg_add does, such as m... [Less]

This blog will now be updated by two people.  I (laffer1) and ctriv will both post updates.  ctriv knows more about the status of mports as he's actively working on it. 

New ports ... [More] today:
devel/patch
editors/2bsd-vi
editors/impress
archivers/p5-Archivers-Zip
sysutils/p5-File-Which

ctriv has been commiting fixes for many existing ports all week. ... [Less]
ipv6 type 0 routing headers
Posted about 6 years ago
CURRENT and STABLE both have the patch for ipv6 type 0 routing headers.  The problem is that ipv6 routing headers could be run over the same link multiple times.  We've been debating how to best handle this problem over the last few ... [More] days.  It was a known issue with the RFC, however, OpenBSD recently brought it to everyones attention.  Their solution was just to add an ifdef 0 in the code which seemed rather poor.  There are research cases where this could be useful.&...

gnu config project
Posted about 6 years ago
I urge everyone to flood the gnu config project with config.sub and config.guess patches for MidnightBSD. One was submitted last year and magically new rules were made to keep us out. bje doesn't like BSDs.
