                        I've been meaning to test soon-to-be #NetBSD 11 on my rescued Mac LC II with 10 megs of memory.

                        It had been crashing quite frequently, and I intended to find out why. I suspected some power / capacitor issues, or perhaps damage from when it got so oxidized before it was given to me.

                        Here we see a Macintosh LC II motherboard with oxidation on the ports and tantalum caps installed on a dollar store baking sheet. It has two 4 meg, 30 pin SIMMs installed, plus a single 512K VRAM SIMM, plus an LC-PDS ethernet card with two ethernet ports (it acts as a two port 10baseT hub). A 15 pin Mac video to VGA adapter is zip tied to the back of the motherboard. It has a 2.5" UW-320 SCSI drive attached and it's powered by an OWC FireWire IDE enclosure.

                              So today I tried my hand at compiling for the first time in the Pi4. I built conky because the version in is very old and still uses the former syntax for which my dotfiles don't work anymore.

                              From this, I learned that NetBSD pkgsrc provides the development files for pretty much every package you install. That's nice: they put the source in Open Source!

                              Also, the process was surprisingly not scary. This hardware is not exactly fast (though probably fast for its cost), and even then the build took just over 5min. Guess I'll be trying my hand at it more, then, for the software I didn't find there.

                                  I was having problems with rxvt-unicode in (I think they don't have its terminfo definitions by default) and xterm was pretty ugly to work with.

                                  So I instead went with another old terminal I haven't used in quite literally a decade: Sakura. It's the terminal emulator used by the project, another ultra-minimalist lightweight Linux distro project. To my surprise: everything works very well, it's still pretty lightweight and also very modern!

                                  I guess some bad things come for good reasons!

So now there's a system for building packages alongside Debian's, FreeBSD's, and OpenBSD's.

                                                      FreeBSD's pkg-create(8) manual page assures us that +MANIFEST files must have "file" entries one per file. But the actual code for the pkg command only looks for a "files" object with an array of files.

                                                      Making manifest and "build-info" files for these tools is not a case of doing what the doco says to do.

                                                            Dear people:

                                                            pkg_create(1) takes files with its -f, -B, and -b options. But there is zero documentation anywhere for what is supposed to be in the latter two.

                                                            Please document this, preferably on that manual page alongside where the contents of the first file are documented.

                                                              Back to top - More...
