FreeBSDPorts

Pointers

• FreeBSD

Create a port on a host to install on another host

    $ cd /var/db/pkg/fontconfig-2.2.0/
    $ pkg_create -v -c +COMMENT -d +DESC -f +CONTENTS -m +MTREE_DIRS ~/fontconfig-2.2.0.tgz

create pacakages from all installed ports

    cd /var/db/pkg
    for package in *
    do
        package_tarball="/home/pkg-current/$package.tgz"
        if [ ! -e $package_tarball ]
        then
            echo Creating package for $package in $package_tarball
            cd /var/db/pkg/$package
            pkg_create -v -c +COMMENT -d +DESC -f +CONTENTS -m +MTREE_DIRS $package_tarball
            echo
        fi
    done

Rebuilding all ports

This should ideally be done after a FreeBSDUpgrade.

    # force upward-recursive upgrade of portupgrade itself
    portupgrade -fR portupgrade

    # force rebuild of all ports
    portupgrade -af

CVSup

my current solution:

• install /usr/ports/net/cvsup-without-gui
• add following root cron job - vary times

19 4 * * * /usr/local/bin/cvsup /root/ports-supfile

• need to check out csup - http://mu.org/~mux/csup.html
• see also portsnap - don't like this since it isn't desiged to be 100% automatable

Upgrading ports on jails

• on jail parent server: mount_nullfs /usr/ports /jailroot/usr/ports

wu-portupgrade

    #!/usr/local/bin/bash

    # set env vars for ports
    WITH_FASTX11=yes
    WITH_SDL=yes

    # Where to store backup packages (in case new ones don't work)
    export PKG_TMPDIR="/home/pkg-backup"

    [ ! -d $PKG_TMPDIR ] && mkdir $PKG_TMPDIR
    [ ! -d $PKG_TMPDIR ] && echo UNABLE TO MAKE DIRECTORY $PKG_TMPDIR && exit 1

    # Upgrade it all
    [ -z "$1" ] && options="$options --all "
