Re: (non)install packages as root?

That seems very good advice to me.  

Some time ago, I made myself owner of the /usr/pkgsrc tree.  But I use
sup(1) which runs (by default), as root.  Now no one owns all the files. 
It would have been better to have left it owned by root, and set WRKOBJDIR
elsewhere.  I think I'll remain the owner of /usr/pkgsrc/distfiles,
though.  

I'm part of the wheel group and use sudo in my SU_CMD.  The last thing I
did was set sudo such that wheel group members don't have to type the
password.  Now *I* build packages but root installs them.  (The machine's
at home, where I like to think I exercise physical security.)  

Thanks, Lubomir.

(n)vi tab-completion?

Hello all,

I was browsing the (n)vi man page and found the filec option. Is there any way
to get the tab key to function as the file completion char, like in my current
shell?

Regards,
Peter

Re: (n)vi tab-completion?

Never mind, I've found it. I now put a ^V before the tab in my .exrc file.
Cool stuff ;)

Regards,
Peter

horde/imp

Hi All.

I know I should be asking this question in the imp <at> lists.horde.org
list, but has anyone been able to run Imp on NetBSD? I can't get it
to start. Apache segfaults every time I try accessing the application.
The test.php page tells me everything php (including pear) is happy, 
and does not cause Apache to segfault.

Use
	set filec=\<TAB>
where "<TAB>" is a literal tab character

(For some reason, using ^V instead of \ doesn't work for me)

pkgsrc question...

Hi guys...

I'm trying to build dt from source on 1.6, after my recently posted problem (on port-mac68k) trying to
install the binary package.  I grabbed pkgsrc yesterday and got to work.  I get this message:

Your package tools need to be updated to 2002/11/23 versions.  The installed package tools were last
updated on 2002/08/04.  Please "make install" in ../../pkgtools/pkg_install.

So I do that.  And that gives me this error:

You need to have the 'text' set installed to build this package!

I thought I had installed it, but it's been awhile, so I dug out my CD and installed it.  Then I try the 'make
install' of the package tools again.  Exact same problem!  So I look at the Makefile to determine exactly
what it thinks is wrong.  It appears that I don't have a /usr/share/tmac/tmac.andoc file on my system,
which seems to be the indicator it's checking.  Where do I get this sucker?

If I'm asking the wrong list, just let me know.

Thanks,
Tim

It's in the "text" set. It's supposed to be a hard-link to "tmac.an"
(and vice-versa). It's there, in the set on ftp.netbsd.org:

fredb <at> babylon5.netbsd.org-> pwd
/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.6/i386/binary/sets
fredb <at> babylon5.netbsd.org-> tar tzvf text.tgz | grep 'tmac\.an'
-r--r--r-- root/wheel     2330 Sep  8 13:22 2002 ./usr/share/tmac/tmac.andoc
-r--r--r-- root/wheel     8285 Sep  8 14:29 2002 ./usr/share/tmac/tmac.an.old
-r--r--r-- root/wheel        0 Sep  8 13:22 2002 ./usr/share/tmac/tmac.an link to ./usr/share/tmac/tmac.andoc

Hrmm.  That's exactly what I've got too.  I wonder if somehow the installer app screwed up.  I guess I can always
untar them from the command line instead.

Thanks,
