I slightly updated my website which is based on my nerdy #manpageblog engine.

I recently added several #SEO improvements and made some smaller changes to the design to make it more readable but also slightly more modern. I'm not sure if this isn't already too fancy again where it should focus on simplicity and alignment with traditional manpages.

If you're interested into manpageblog, you can find it at:

Do you happen to know what make target builds the SUB_FILES, e.g. files/pkg-message.in?

I've found this bit: https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/Mk/bsd.port.mk#n4600

My goal, build pkg-message without building the port.

arrrrgh... @freshports your damn bug... Whenever I enter your website, I get scared bcs of the running bug. And when I try to squish it, I end up with greasy fingerprints on my monitor.

It is so very satisfying to see a FreshPorts commit processing queue quickly fill up when it comes back online after being down (for modification in this case).

case in point:

@gumnos

<https://www.freshports.org/textproc/py-pdftotext/#pkg-plist> "There is no configure plist information for this port."

I wonder why.

There's probably a generic explanation, not specific to this port. If so, maybe I can add something to <https://www.freshports.org/faq.php> …

Turbulent times.

It was necessary to explain that the three cookies on the baking tray are not collecting personal data.

Postscript: https://www.reddit.com/comments/1l6atsf/respect/mwolp77/ ends the turbulence. Still, I do like the idea that Tux cookies might have collected data about what's in the oven.

So went to install kitty terminal to see how fastfetch works with custom images and it seems it is not in the #FreeBSD repo even though it is on #FreshPorts site. Surely this package was rebuilt when the #Go issue happened ?

PS I am on the latest branch

https://www.freshports.org/x11/kitty/
FreshPorts -- x11/kitty: Cross-platform, fast, featureful, GPU-based terminal emulator

Kitty is the fast, featureful, GPU based terminal emulator. kitty is designed for power keyboard users. To that end all its controls work with the keyboard (although it fully supports mouse interactions as well). Its configuration is a simple, human editable, single file for easy reproducibility (I like to store configuration in source control). kitty is designed from the ground up to support all modern terminal features, such as unicode, true color, bold/italic fonts, text formatting, etc. It even extends existing text formatting escape codes, to add support for features not available elsewhere, such as colored and styled (curly) underlines.

How did you try to install Spotidyd?
I myself don't use Spotify, so not sure they actually works or not, but searching "spotify" on https://www.freshports.org/, 4 results.
https://www.freshports.org/audio/spotifyd/
https://www.freshports.org/audio/spotify-player/
https://www.freshports.org/audio/spotify-qt/
https://www.freshports.org/audio/spotify-tui/

Each pages has informations about availabilities of pre-built (with default options) packages.

And for audio/spotifyd, looking into
https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/audio/spotifyd
there is files/spotifyd.in.
https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/audio/spotifyd/files/spotifyd.in
This file should be installed as /usr/local/etc/rc.d/spotifyd with some automatic replace on build or install (%%PREFIX%% in it should be replaced with actual place to be needed).
See line 8 to 16 for how to configure.

And note that even with the configurations, if you want it running before restarting the whole system, you would need `service spotifyd start`. See service (8) manpage for detailed usage of `service` command.
