Few weeks ago I changed my position in company where I work. New challenges and opportunities is needed to bring back a good excitement. I continue to work with Open Source Projects, for me this is nice.

That’s All!

Few days ago I worked in a patch originally written by pgollucci to use some benefits of bsd.sites.mk, these benefits are the use of CPAN instead of ${MASTER_SITE_PERL_CPAN} and in some cases we can remove MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR entirely of port. Today I committed this modification in 2168 ports. I believe that we have another ports which must receive the same modification. CPAN macro is very similar with SF and in some cases CPAN make more easy ours work.

For this work I used some tools that automated the modifications:
island# find ports/*/ -name Makefile | xargs sed -ie ’s,\${MASTER_SITE_PERL_CPAN},CPAN,’
island# find ports/*/ -name Makefile | xargs sed -ie ‘/^MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR/d’
island# find ports/*/ -name Makefilee -exec rm {} \;

I created a script to check if all ports that received the changes yet are fetchable.

$ cat fetch.sh
#!/bin/sh
for i in `cat list.txt`
do
echo $i
cd /c/ports/$i
make fetch >>/c/log.txt 2>&1
if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then
cat /c/log.txt >>/c/portserrors.txt
fi
#cd /usr/ports/$i ; portinstall -F $i 1>error
done

After two days of downloads, I put this patch within pointyhat cluster that found only three ports with problem.

Yesterday I bought a bread machine, is very easy to make all types of breads, sweet bread, bread in shape, think that your mind is the limit.
The other good thing is that you have a timer to control when your bread is ready, imagine that you wakes with a smell of bread warm inside your home and take a coffee with a bread made at the time.
You also choose how should roast your bread in three levels, you have too 12 functions pre-programmed to make some types of bread.

It happened again. After sending more than 250 PRs, it was not to be avoided and my former mentee Gabor stepped up, together with araujo as co-mentor, to punish Felippe de Meirelles Motta (AKA lippe) with a ports commit bit. Keep up the good work, all three of you!

I’ve good news for all.
Few minutes ago I finished the prototype of modip, the function modip seems be consistent, but I need more opinions and another couple of eyes.

ipfw add 10 modip tos:lowdelay ip from any to any
ipfw add 11 modip dscp:af14 ip from any to any
ipfw add 12 modip ippre:flash ip from any to any

Well, I spend some time working to make a support within IPFW which allows the users have any experience with some QoS implementations. Although this devel seems easy, I’ve some difficulties to implement the MODIP module.
Today I sent a mail to the masters of universe, they are experts in IPFW and can help me.

First kernel patch: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=121122

I have some interest in QoS application methods and now this is the theme of my project for finishing my graduation. I begin today and I’ve more 5 months to research and apply some technics of quality of services in data network.

The last week, I amused me a lot with the peoples around me, they not understand and not know what aspects move the Open Source Software, because they don’t make FREE SOFTWARE.
The FREE SOFTWARE is signal of FREEDOM and OPEN SOURCE is signal of intelligence.
I can talk and show for all, I work with OPEN SOURCE and FREE SOFTWARE.

I’m a FreeBSD Developer and you?
