  • Freebsd 31.2 and availabkle packages

    From DaveG@21:1/5 to All on Sun Dec 24 11:52:25 2023
    Is it just me or is there currently some major packages currently
    missing from/not building in the LATEST package repository?

    One specific example would be firefox.

    laptop:/root/bin %uname -a
    FreeBSD laptop 12.4-RELEASE-p9 FreeBSD 12.4-RELEASE-p9 GENERIC amd64 laptop:/root/bin %pkg search firefox
    firefox-121.0,2 Web browser based on the browser portion of Mozilla
    firefox-esr-115.6.0,1 Web browser based on the browser portion of Mozilla
    p5-Firefox-Marionette-1.40 Automate the Firefox browser with the Marionette protocol
    laptop:/root/bin %

    But, on 13.2...

    testbox:/root/bin %uname -a
    FreeBSD testbox.asgard.uk 13.2-RELEASE-p8 FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE-p8 GENERIC amd64 testbox:/root/bin %pkg search firefox
    testbox:/root/bin %

    Other notabley large packages "missing" includes qt5-webkit, gimp-app and
    many others.

    Any pointers appreciated as I'd rather not upgrade other PCs by
    resorting to compiling very large ports :-)

    Thanks,

    Not what you asked, and maybe not helpful, but ...

    Interesting. pkg search with the latest pkg repository for 14.0 lists:

    firefox-120.0.1_1,2 [not 121.0]
    firefox-esr-115.5.0_2,1 [not 115.6]
    p5-Firefox-Marionette-1.40

    so not as up-to-date as 12.4.

    But, on 13.2...

    testbox:/root/bin %uname -a
    FreeBSD testbox.asgard.uk 13.2-RELEASE-p8 FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE-p8 GENERIC amd64
    testbox:/root/bin %pkg search firefox
    testbox:/root/bin %

    Don't know about currently, but a month ago the 13.2 pkg repository had
    firefox and firefox-esr (and IDK about the other one), so 13.2 *used* to
    have them.

    If you're not in a hurry, and since it's a holiday period, maybe wait
    for the next repository update and see if they reappear?

    Thanks, yeah, I'll just wait :-)

    With 12.3 going EOL this New Year, I thought I'd take the opportunity
    of the holiday break to do the upgrades. I've seen the odd packages
    be missing for a while due to the package cluster build failing until
    they get fixed, but i don't recall seeing so much missing all at the
    same time so was concerned that it might be something at my end, maybe
    the major version upgrade not quite going to plan this time.

    Luckily my "testbox" really only gets used remotely for doing video
    transcoding so missing packages isn't a big deal (I saved a list of
    what got removed with by the pkg upgrade part of the update to 13.2)
    and my file server has very few packages on it anyway and nothing was
    missing in that case :-)

    I'll leave my daily driver till the New Year :-)

    Wonder if that system has the repositories set wrong. I get:

    meet/EC2# uname -a
    FreeBSD meet.tavi.cx 13.2-RELEASE-p8 FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE-p8 GENERIC amd64 meet/EC2# pkg search firefox

    Looking at firefox on freshports[0], firefox seems to be having some
    issues. It's present on the quarterly branch for amd64 for all
    releases, but not on latest. Going to the bug tracker, there is a
    ticket open stating that firefox currently isn't building[1].

    Personally, I usually stick to quarterly instead of latest for
    stability reasons unless I really need a new version of some software
    and can't wait until the next quarterly build.

    I'm correcting the header for those who care
    (you got to the typo before I did).

    31.2 shouldn't even branch for the next 30 years...

    A few hours ago I posted:

    so not as up-to-date as 12.4.

    An update for 14.0 just came out. It now has:
    firefox-121.0,2
    firefox-esr-115.6.0,1
    p5-Firefox-Marionette-1.40
    so it's caught up to 12.4. :)
