How to cleanup a MacPorts install?
by Markus Weimer 09 Apr '07

09 Apr '07

Hi List, I have many old and inactive, but installed Ports on my system. My question is twofold: (1) How do I get rid of these old Ports fully to recover the disk space they use? (2) How do I make sure that whenever I do an upgrade, the old versions are really uninstalled? THanks in advance, Markus

glade-2 C++ binding autogen issues

I am trying to autogen C++ code for glade-2 and i run into the following problems //--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Macintosh:~/Projects/adminGUIcopy Armahg$ ./autogen.sh GNU Make 3.80 found ./autogen.sh: line 1: autoconf2.50: command not found found ./autogen.sh: line 1: automake-1.9: command not found found This script runs configure and make...

BIND9 stopped working...
by Alex Kac 09 Apr '07

09 Apr '07

So this is an OS X Server issue I'm sure...but let me see if I can get some experienced help on this. I'm using Bind9.4 from Macports. When the server was home as I was setting it up, BIND9 was the first thing I setup. It was working perfectly throughout the time I used it. I know because, well, it just worked :) Then I moved the server to its proper location and gave it a public IP. I ran the changeip script that OS X server requires (stupid thing that is). Now BIND9 runs, but does not work. I cannot get it to respond to anything. Here is the only thing I see in the logs: Apr 8 19:25:29 localhost named[82]: starting BIND 9.4.0 Apr 8 19:25:29 localhost named[82]: command channel listening on 127.0.0.1#953 Apr 8 19:25:30 localhost named[82]: running but doing an NSLookup to the server simply does not work. wisops@[/opt/local/apache2/conf/vhosts]: nslookup > server webis.net Default server: webis.net Address: 66.118.228.13#53 > ironcoffee.com ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached > > webis.net So - any ideas?

Upgrade confusion
by Mike Alexander 08 Apr '07

08 Apr '07

Something is confused in my MacPorts setup. After a selfupdate tonight (which got version 1.4) it tries to upgrade the same ports over and over again, even though they don't need upgrading. For example when I execute "port -uf upgrade gnucash" I get the sequence ---> Deactivating expat 2.0.0_1 ---> Uninstalling expat 2.0.0_1 ---> Installing expat 2.0.0_1 ---> Activating expat 2.0.0_1 I've seen this for expat about 6 times so far, and similar things happen with many other ports. At least it's not rebuilding the ports, so it doesn't take too long. Also, it tries to install XFree86 even though I have Apple's X11 installed (correctly I think, I've been using it for years and have installed many ports that depend on it). After telling me it won't install XFree86 because I have X11 installed, it then proceeds to install it anyway. Does anyone have any idea what is wrong? -- Mike Alexander mta(a)umich.edu Ann Arbor, MI PGP key ID: BEA343A6

Repair Database
by Christian Voelker 06 Apr '07

06 Apr '07

Hello, I think this is a rather common issue but I could not find the answer myself. My receipts database is crashed due to canceling a "port -f upgrade outdated" inadvertently. I found a nice script in trac that seems to deal with this situation - it is called repairfilemap.tcl, but unhappily it does not play nice with the current version of macports. There probably has to be some function inside macports that can reconstruct the information of installed software be- cause all data is still there inside the tree structure and it would probably safe me some Gigabytes of downloads and many hours of compile time because I have archive mode set active. I already tried to remove the file_map.db from /opt/local/var/db/dports/receipts/, hoping it would be rebuilt automagically upon issuing the next port command but no, it did not! Damn me. How did it come to this situation? When I had only a limited number of ports installed, I used to update outdated ports by resolving dependencies manually, uninstalling dependents, upgrading, then reinstalling dependents manually again. This tends to become impossible with such ports as zlib, freetype or openssl sooner then later. Deactivating depen- dents is for uninstalling deps and uninstalling inactive ports does not work either giving the old version number only without variants. Putting everything together manually is errorprone and tedious. port -R upgrade xyz was not capable to run updates in a sensible order as well. Actually, I dont want to update all installed ports always, but I came to a point where I tried to do so, forcing upgrades but forgetting to make this recursive. This took hours and messed up everthing. This is where I stopped it. Now I just want all my archived ports reinstalled or even better the database reconstructed. using port -b install all did not help, and as port installed does not list any ports as installed any more, targets such as unarchive installed or inactive does not help either. Any help appreciated, Christian

But the httpd.conf doesn't get replaced because the original was httpd.conf.sample. That's why it is bad for ports to install config files as what their fianl name will be. But not all Apache config fiels do this; anything in extra/ will get replaced. This could be fixed to work the same way but no one has yet. Mark

Apache2 update question
by Alex Kac 06 Apr '07

06 Apr '07

So when I did the SVN with mod_dav_svn variant, it grabbed Apache2 which is what I wanted. However, I was not able to specify any variants I wanted for that. I probably should've grabbed apache2, but so far its worked fine. Well since I'm setting a brand spanking new server with LDAP, I decided I wanted to move my authentication to LDAP instead of dbm files. I've already completely configured my apache installation - its working. I don't want to screw it up :) How do I tell macports that I wish to update my apache2 config with the openldap variant in addition to whatever I have now? I've already checked the macports site on this and maybe i'm just missing terminology on this.

Downloads are available at <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/ macports/browser/downloads/MacPorts-1.4.0>. Thanks to all project members who contributed to this release, and especially to Juan Manuel Palacios, who served as release manager. Bugs may be filed at the <http://www.macports.org/?page_id=8>.

Upgrade Question
by Nathan Brazil 06 Apr '07

06 Apr '07

Hi. After I upgraded to MacPorts 1.4, I noticed that freetype is now at 2.3.2, where the version I have installed is 2.1.10. I would like to upgrade to the latest version, but I also have several ports installed that depend on freetype. How do I know if 2.3.2 is binary compatible with 2.1.10, and if not, is there a command to re-compile all the ports that depend on freetype?
