First PR Against the NanoBlogger's Port

By Julien Gabel on Tuesday 9 May 2006, 19:33 - BSD Unix

Here is the first Problem Report against the NanoBlogger FreeBSD's port. In fact, this was not really a bug nor a big issue, just a misread at the installation time it seems. Read the bug's follow-up for more information... really nothing more to say here.

FreeBSD Documentation Update: serialcomms

By Julien Gabel on Monday 27 March 2006, 20:10 - BSD Unix

Although it was a long time ago, i think it may be worth to be noted here, just in case someone is interested. I work hard (at least, i hope ;)) to update the Serial Communications chapter of the FreeBSD Handbook in the past months, in particular the Introduction section. The work was heavily done with Gary W. Swearingen which take the PR for himself, helped by his mentor Giorgos Keramidas (not less), and the participation of Yar Tikhiy.

This work was done under the FreeBSD problem report docs/85355.

For reference only, here are most links to the different steps which drive us to the current committed code, as found in the documentation project source tree:

  1. chapter.sgml.orig
  2. chapter.sgml.diff.0
  3. chapter.sgml.diff.1
  4. chapter.sgml.diff.2
  5. chapter.sgml.diff.3
  6. chapter.sgml.diff.4

So, here it is: Serial Communications chapter.

FreeBSD Port Patch Preview for the Last NanoBlogger's 3.3 RC4

By Julien Gabel on Friday 3 February 2006, 20:22 - BSD Unix

Because i will be far from a computer for more than a week (as of today!), i post the preview patch for the www/nanoblogger port.

You can apply and install it using the following steps:

# cd /usr/ports/www/nanoblogger && make deinstall
# cd /usr/ports && patch < /tmp/nanoblogger.patch
# cd /usr/ports/www/nanoblogger && make install clean clean-depends

Be aware that there are a lot of changes in NanoBlogger itself, so read carefully the NanoBlogger User Manual online documentation and the pkg-message post installation output. After the installation, you can (re)read it using:

# pkg_info -D /var/db/pkg/nanoblogger

Download: nanoblogger.patch

Maintainer of The www/nanoblogger FreeBSD's Port

By Julien Gabel on Tuesday 1 November 2005, 20:42 - BSD Unix

Just to say that i am the new maintainer of the www/nanoblogger port for the FreeBSD project (for some weeks now). See Problem Report ports/84817 for complete patch and update history.

Here is an excerpt of the PR description:

  • Make portlint(1) happy (portlint -A)
  • Add the files pkg-plist and pkg-message
  • The port conforms a little more to the Porter's Handbook
  • Validate a complete recommended test ordering from porting-testing.html

As a side note, the additional contributors list was not updated to reflect the change of maintainer ship... Not so very important, i think ;-)
