Get notified when packages are built

A new feature has been added. FreshPorts already tracks package built by the FreeBSD project. This information is displayed on each port page. You can now get an email when FreshPorts notices a new package is available for something on one of your watch lists. However, you must opt into that. Click on Report Subscriptions on the right, and New Package Notification box, and click on Update.

FInally, under Watch Lists, click on ABI Package Subscriptions to select your ABI (e.g. FreeBSD:14:amd64) & package set (latest/quarterly) combinatio for a given watch list. This is what FreshPorts will look for.

Options name:
N/A
USES:
cpe desktop-file-utils linux tar:bzip2
pkg-message:
1. Sound ======== Since the OSS interface was removed, Skype now uses linux-pulseaudio compat packages. By default you get one device corresponding to your default OSS dsp device (so Skype will use it for ringing, incoming voice and mic). For this to function properly, we've sourced a very specific libpulse.so, which implements most of the things Skype actually needs through OSS, and not much else. And that's okay, as libpulse.so is used exclusively for Skype via LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and nothing else. Chances are, if you want to use Skype 4.3 *and* something that actually requires (Linux) PulseAudio, you'll be better off running Linux natively. 2. Video ======== 2.1. Receiving video -------------------- Should work out of the box. Please make sure you have Options --> Video Devices --> Enable Skype Video checked. 2.2. Sending video ------------------ Skype uses /dev/videoX (usually /dev/video0). This device node is created by the drivers for your webcam (eg. multimedia/webcamd). If you selected the VIDEO option (default) multimedia/webcamd will be pulled in. First please make sure your webcam works with the drivers webcamd provides; you can use multimedia/pwcview's pwcview(1) to check that you get a good image from your webcam; if you get a good image, you will get video in Skype also. It also uses v4l2 interface hence you very likely need to have linux_v4l2wrapper kernel module (which you either have in base on recent HEAD or the port will install for you); you need to load the module before stating Skype: # kldload linux_v4l2wrapper To make it permanent you can: # echo 'linux_v4l2wrapper_load="YES"' >> /boot/loader.conf 3. SMSes ======== You can send SMSes with this version (provided you have Skype credit, of course). Check Options --> SMS for details. 4. Screen sharing ================= You should be able to receive and send once you have enabled Skype Video (check ยง2) 5. Skype Access =============== Doesn't work and it is likely not very probable it will ever work since it uses a lot of Linux-specific things. 6. Troubleshooting ================== If Skype coredumps after displaying a (grey) About screen, you need to mount linprocfs. # mount -t linprocfs linprocfs /compat/linux/proc To persist the changes, add it to your fstab. This should work: linprocfs /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw,late 0 0 7. Problems and bug reports =========================== First of all, please understand that this is a closed, binary Linux application that makes use for some more-or-less cutting edge Linux features/interfaces, etc. As such, making it work on FreeBSD is mainly a question of keeping our Linuxulator as close as possible to the Linux kernel, and our Linux compat ports up to date. When reporting problems at very least we need to know the output of: $ uname -a; sysctl compat.linux | head -2; grep OVERRIDE_LINUX_ /etc/make.conf the Skype version you are using, and hardware details (eg. webcam) if related.

- Autodetect the installed linux_base port and use LINUX_DEFAULT only as
  a last resort.
- Construct a list of DISTFILES for every architecture (amd64, i386).
  Select one list for regular make and all lists for make makesum so linux
  ports can have one combined distinfo file.
- Set DIST_SUBDIR?=centos so there's only one copy of common distfiles.
- Use MASTER_SITES and DISTFILES groups so make fetch is a bit smarter.
- Regenerate all distinfo files.
- For linux_base-c6 (just like linux_base-c7 already does) turn bin, lib,
  lib64 and sbin into symbolic links to the same directory under usr.
  This fixes the problem where some programs/libraries exist under / on
  FreeBSD and /usr on Linux or vice versa and then depending on the order
  of search paths Linux programs may run/load FreeBSD programs/libraries
  and fail.
- Turn usr/share/icons into a symbolic link to LOCALBASE/share/icons so

net-im/skype4: unbreak on 11.0-CURRENT

Changes:

  The "skype" binary works fine after recent update in linux compat layer when
  linux-c6-pulseaudio (libpulse.so.0) is not installed (but linprocfs(5) must be
  mounted into ${LINUXBASE}/proc). So:

  - Unbreak net-im/skype4 for __FreeBSD_version >= 1100075.
  - (temporarily) Disable PA dependency.

  Also:
  - Drop (indirect) PA dependencies.
  - Add tcp_wrappers-libs into linux-c6-pulseaudio-libs dependencies (used by
    libpulse.so.0)
  - Fix some portlint(1) warnings.

  Workaround: libpulse.so.0 can be replaced with PA wrapper from
  https://github.com/waterlaz/skype_oss_wrapper - then sound will work too (with
  mounted devfs(5) in ${LINUXBASE}/dev).

Update CentOS base to 6.5, add userland ports

The Fedora 10 infrastructure ports have been in use since June 2009 and, while
having served a great deed, have become unsupported upstream and hence affected
by unfixed security vulnerabilities. In addition to that, many recent Linux
binaries need newer libc / stdlibc++ versions.

This commit adds the linux-c6- userland as drop-in replacement for the -f10
infrastructure, as well as upgrading the linux_base-c6 port to CentOS 6.5.

If you want to switch to linux-c6 ports, please define at /etc/make.conf:

    OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=c6
    OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS=c6
