Today I encountered this. [r720-01 dan ~] % sudo freebsd-update fetch install 14:39:01 Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors… 2 mirrors found. Fetching metadata signature for 13.0-RELEASE from update1.freebsd.org… done. Fetching metadata index… done. The update metadata is correctly signed, but failed an integrity check. Cowardly refusing to proceed any further. I confirmed it was just the […]

Turning off SASLCLIENT for databases/mysql57-client

Leave a Comment / poudriere / By /

This started off as a Twitter thread earlier this morning. databases/mysql57-client has an optional dependency on security/cyrus-sasl2 which defaults to on. Let’s try turning that off and see if it also removes openldap-client from the dependency list. Why? I install net-mgmt/nagios-plugins in just above every jail and host. Even hosts which don’t use MySQL. I

Leave a Comment / nginx, poudriere / By /

Last last night, after renaming some buildlists, which were actually setnames, for poudriere, I realized that files in /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d also needed to be renamed. In this post: poudriere 3.3.7 nginx 1.20.1_2,2 Both running on FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE-p4 These are my renamed files: [dan@pkg01:/usr/local/etc/poudriere.d]: $ ls *primary* primary-make.conf primary-poudriere.conf primaryi386-make.conf primaryi386-poudriere.conf The output of svn status illustrates

poudriere: Warning: Using ‘-‘ in a SETNAME is not recommended as it causes ambiguities with parsing the build name of 122amd64-default-master-list

I like readability. I like it in variable names. I prefer something descriptive and easy to ready. In in this post: FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE-p4 poudriere 3.3.7 I recently started getting messages like this from my daily poudiere build: I could just rename the sets, everything would be rebuilt, but then clients would be stuck pointing at

Upgrading a FreeBSD 12.2 jail to FreeBSD 13 using mkjail

Mark Felder and I have been working on a minimalist set of jail scripts for creating and updating jails. All jail management is accomplished via standard vanilla FreeBSD jails. No jail managers are involved. Everything goes through jail.conf. In this post: FreeBSD 13.0 host, recently update from FreeBSD 12.2 FreeBSD 12.s jail on that host,

Adjusting my ZFS filesystems to conform with standard FreeBSD boot environments

Leave a Comment / beadm, bectl, ZFS / By /

Get FreeBSD 12.2 mfsBSD (because that matches the OS on slocum), burn it to a thumb drive using OSX. NOTE: the following didn’t work. I wound up not having the right values in /lib and /var/db/ I don’t know what I did wrong, but I did manage to fix them up afterwards. I suspect that
