Philip has been working on apache for a long time and has been increasingly interesting in FreeBSD as well. Marcelo Araujo finally stepped in and made him commit his own patches. Philip is going to be a great addition to our ports team!

Quiet on the blog

As you probably have noticed, it’s been pretty quiet around here. At least, on the blog, not in that crazy thing called Real Life[tm]. After the last post about BSDCan, I moved from my apartment downtown to a small house in the suburbs, went on a team building trip with my coworkers on Tunø, a small island nearby, and went for the yearly Cisco Live conference, this year in Orlando, Florida, and while I was on that side of the pond anyway, I also spent the week before the conference at Mark Linimons place in Austin, Texas, where I had some time to work on FreeBSD some more and shrink my TODO list a bit, and also go to a James McMurty concert. So please, don’t ask me why I didn’t write anything here.

CVSROOT/modules is back. With a twist.

After removing CVSROOT/modules, all hell broke loose. A few committer still used it as a shorthand for checking out ports and saving a few keystrokes. Edwin Groothuis offered to write a script that would update the file once a day and generate it from INDEX. This will keep everybody happy, as the file is still there to use, but it no longer needs to be manually maintained, and the code does not need to be added again to the addport/rmport scripts after I edited them. This should have been done years ago, but there you have it. Thanks a lot to Edwin for writing the automation script!
