Call for Testing: Qt 4.6.0 for FreeBSD

Posted on Samstag 9 Januar 2010

Max has announce the QT 4.6.0 public  test. see his Announcement.

The FreeBSD KDE team is pleased to announce public call for testing Qt-4.6.0.
Ports can be downloaded from area51 repository:

svn co http://area51.pcbsd.org/trunk/area51/QT

and integrated into portstree using ‘qtmerge’ script from

http://area51.pcbsd.org/trunk/area51/Tools/scripts/

Alternatively you can use patch vs portstree:

http://people.freebsd.org/~makc/patches/qt460.patch.bz2

Knowing issues: devel/qt4-designer fails to build when previous version is
installed, so you have to deinstall qt4-designer before starting update
procedure.

Please send feedback to kde-freebsd@kde.org

Special thanks to Alberto Villa for his hard work on getting Qt-4.6.0 ports
into shape.

ports-mgmt/tinderbox-devel update

Posted on Dienstag 5 Januar 2010

Yesterday i’ve got the idea to update our tinderbox-devel port.
This update include the latest cvs snapshot with few fixes and
two highly experimental patches from beat@ and Tim Bishop.

Fixes from upstream:
- Remove X11BASE support it is now obsolete. (already in ports-mgmt/tinderbox)
- Expand the glob to check for Perl so that it actually
captures lang/perl5.10. (already in ports-mgmt/tinderbox)
- Restore some of the leftover exceptions but use LOCALBASE instead of X11BASE.
- Expand the MySQL glob to match on MySQL 5.4 and 5.5.
- Adjust the SQL query to remove all entries from a BuildPortsQueue. This
makes things more compatible.

Two Experimental patches from Tim Bishop and beat@.

Tim has added support for multiple tinderd instances at the same
time.

The parallel patch allows to run multiple tinderd instances at the
same time.
You can enable multiple tinderd instances via /etc/rc.conf with
tinderd_instances=”X”

beat as added support for tmpfs to enable the usage of FreeBSD’s
tmpfs implementation.

I use both patches now more than 3 or 4 month’s without problems.

Both patches are experimental and are not official supported by the Tinderbox
distribution.

Call for tester: VirtualBox 3.1.2 for FreeBSD #take 2

Posted on Montag 4 Januar 2010

Howdy beat@ called few mins ago a secound CFT for the 3.1.2 release, unfortunaltely
we have updated the guest additions to a recent snapshot to fix a kernel module
problem but see self the mail and changelog from him here:

First of all thanks a lot for all the valuable feedback. We have updated
the ports to fix the reported problems:

- – virtualbox-ose-additions:
- Update to a more recent svn snapshot. The kernel module from 3.1.2
was not loadable.
- Adjust pkg-descr and COMMENT to make it clear what additions are
good for (Patch by dougb@)
- Install rc.d style start script to load the kernel module
- Add check if kernel sources are available
- Mark BROKEN on FreeBSD 6.x

- – virtualbox-ose-kmod:
- Install rc.d style start script to load the network related kernel
modules in correct order
- Mark BROKEN on FreeBSD 6.x

- – virtualbox-ose:
- Update pkg-message to reflect recent changes
- Add missing PulseAudio dependency

New version of the tarball is available here:

https://svn.bluelife.at/nightlies/virtualbox-port-r621.tar.gz

Virtualbox 3.1.2 no longer requires procfs. If no other program requires
/proc mounted you could remove /proc from /etc/fstab.

If you are using the kernel modules for bridged or host-only networking
please load the virtualbox kernel module via /boot/loader.conf:
vboxdrv_load=”YES”

Then remove vboxnetflt or vboxnetadp entries from /boot/loader.conf and
add this to /etc/rc.conf and reboot the machine afterwards:
vboxnet_enable=”YES”

If you install virtualbox-ose-additions on a FreeBSD guest add this to
/etc/rc.conf:
vboxguest_enable=”YES”

The vboxvideo_drv should be recognized by “Xorg -configure”. If not, use
something like this in your xorg.conf for the video card:
Section “Device”
### Available Driver options are:-
### Values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: “True”/”False”,
### <string>: “String”, <freq>: “<f> Hz/kHz/MHz”
### [arg]: arg optional
Identifier  “Card0″
Driver      “vboxvideo”
VendorName  “InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH”
BoardName   “VirtualBox Graphics Adapter”
BusID       “PCI:0:2:0″
EndSection

To use vboxmouse_drv please adjust the mouse section in your xorg.conf
like this:
Section “InputDevice”
Identifier  “Mouse0″
Driver      “vboxmouse”
EndSection

Thanks,
Beat, on behalf of the FreeBSD Vbox Team
