How to create 2 versions of a port

I maintain a port that accesses the release distribution files. Now with 
9.0 having a different path /i386/i386 and the files being compressed 
first with tar and then again with xz I need to change the port to 
access the new layout and file format.

I would like to leave the current version in the ports as is which works 
fine with the 8.x world and add a second version that only works with 
9.0 and newer.

Question is how do i change the port description of the current port to 
say it supports 8.x with out re-adding the complete port again?

I know I have to add the new port version that supports ge 9.0.

portshaker, listing updates and skipping broken/removed ports

Dear folks,

I have a question regarding portshaker.  I have successfully used
Warren Block's script to make updates.

http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/portupgrade.html

#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/portsnap fetch update && \
/usr/local/sbin/portmaster -L --index-only | egrep '(ew|ort)
version|total install'

How can I do the same with portshaker command?

I now have to use portshaker to update freebsd-texlive ports.  I try
to fetch updates to texlive-* ports, but none show up.  They show up
after I run portshaker command.  The freebsd-texlive ports

http://code.google.com/p/freebsd-texlive/

 by Romain Tartiere are working beautifully, but updating them is
another story.  I did not know that one has to use portshaker to get
the updates, since they are not officially in freebsd ports.  Running
portshaker now I see the updates and can update them, but some
packages have been removed upstream and portmaster -a command fails
and I have to manually remove the culprit packages

Otherwise above script only updates regular freebsd official ports and
not the new ones with texlive.  Also, if there are broken or removed
ports in ports tree, I get updating error.

one question about Freebsd subversion access log

Hello,
I am doing an analysis on Freebsd subversion access log. One log 
extracted from the access log is below.

The piece of log include files and subdirectories which are indicated 
"modified" (M).
The subdirectories are:
/stable/7/sbin/geom, /stable/7/sbin/geom/class/label,
/stable/7/sbin/geom/class/part
/stable/7/sbin/geom/class/stripe
/stable/7/sbin/geom/misc
/stable/7/sys
/stable/7/sys/cddl/contrib/opensolaris
/stable/7/sys/contrib/dev/acpica
/stable/7/sys/contrib/pf

My question is: why are the subdirectories recorded as "modified", even 
though there is no files modified under most of the subdirectories?

I did a test of modifying a file and submitting a commit to the 
subversion in my local machine. No subdirectories are recorded as 
"modified" except for the file.

I can not find the answer through
googling.
thanks
Yiru

/dev/ulpt0 -- How is it created?


It would appear that the device node /dev/ulpt0 gets (re-)created every
time I plug my USB printer back in.

Could somebody please kindly tell me what the exact mechanism is that
causes this device node to be (re-)created upon such events?

I am rather hoping that whatever that mechanism is, that I can diddle
it somehow so that every time /dev/ulpt0 gets created, it will be
created with perms set to 0666.

(Sorry, yes, I'm almost totally ignorant about how these kinds of
transient device nodes get automagically created these days.)

inetd[1081]: ssh/tcp: bind: address already in use

First, thank you folks for your help.  Each of you.

I been pretty much a glass terminal UN*X user since I started.  Now,
because of you guys and the people behind X and oh!, all those programs
that get linked in (three hours of package loading plus six hours of ports
downloading and compilation, I have a pretty nice Fvwm environment with
some nifty plotting.  (Though I wonder, is it better to be forced to
visualize the underlying curve's of a system without looking.  A
philosophical problem for another day...)

Second, I am getting:  inetd[1081]: ssh/tcp: bind: address already in use.
 What's the fix, please?

And third, about the intrusion.  I have already wiped the machine to
rebuild it.  But I noted the requested files, if their is a future incident.

I had used null passwords while I was loading FBSD software.  A practice I
shall never repeat.  me bad...

FreeBSD 9, GPT and gmirror

Hello Everyone,

May be I should have searched more for answers, but after installing
FreeBSD 9 with gmirror, I am wondering if the experts here have some
recommendations for "best practices".

1. The Guided partitioning doesn't suggest any more to
create /var, /tmp, /usr, etc. file systems. Is it really the
recommendation to go with just / ?

2. Is there a way to use the old sysinstall to install FreeBSD 9? 

3. It seems that setting up gmirror is more involved with GPT
(http://blather.michaelwlucas.com/archives/1071); now I have a mirror
for each of the filesystems /, /var, /tmp, etc. Is it OK to use gmirror
in this way at all?

4. Also, with GPT, one has to be in single user mode to synchronize
disks - correct?

3. Assuming one has enough RAM, is zfs mirror or raidz recommended over
gmirror?

Prior to FreeBSD 9, I used to take the the sysinstall defaults with
some overrides as I thought appropriate and proceeded to set up
gmirror - it was simple and not a lot of work, and a good way to make
use of older systems...
