freebsd-kernel-newcons version 10.1 ?

2015-01-21T17:11:42Z

Nothing has been merged into core or extra for awhile. All updates have went into testing. Testing is what is frequently updated and you can use the new terminal driver with 10.1 in testing.

The merging process of testing -> core, extra, community is a little slow at the minute.

This is because libtool on FreeBSD is erratic at versioning. Our original packages didn't have the libtoolfix applied. So a slight update could see a library go from lib.so.1234 -> lib.so.4231

With the libtoolfix in place, this would be lib.so.0, lib.so.1 and so fourth.

So any package that is updated, or libtoolfixed will break all packages that depend on it and thus require rebuilding. Work is still goign on, but until these have all been rebuilt. (i think there is only 150 packages left) and once merged from testings.

The repos core, extra and community will see daily updates again.

[SOLVED] Making bash the default shell on login

The reason why bash isn't the default shell is incase you need to drop to single user mode to recover something, say for example you have /usr on a separate partition, and you can access for what ever reason. corrupted partition. You wouldn't be able to recover in single user mode as it couldn't get a root shell.

Thanks!

Compiling virtualbox guest additions

glibc is already ported. debian kfreebsd uses it with the FreeBSD kernel.

I tried to manually compile glibc but I got a message that it was not available for my architecture (freebsd). Did the debian folks not submit the patches upstream?
