Hi fedi #FreeBSD friends, I am still new to #ports system. I got an error message while building #xorg using #poudriere seems exactly like this bug report: graphics/mesa-libs: configure failed: Python (3.x) mako module >= 0.8.0 required to build mesa
I am running 14.3-RELEASE latest with latest ports tree. Do any of you get this error message when building graphics/mesa-libs too ?

[ RESOLVED ]

It's all resolved now, the dev of maomao has fixed the issue so it's compatible with FreeBSD too.

I wonder if any #FreeBSD or #BSD in general folk can help me fix mmsg for #MaomaoWM ? The dev has added a new json feature which obviously builds on Linux. The last version before built no issue for me on FreeBSD but with the addition of libcjson which I have installed it fails to build with this error:

Welcome to the family Carlos and have a fantastic weekend ! πŸ˜‰ #RunBSD

While I was at BSDCan, I had an idea that I shared with @dgoodkin and would like to quote in one of my upcoming talks and/or articles. Many young people aren't familiar with the BSDs, and we could try using a bit of psychology to pique their curiosity.
Something like: "Hey, consider investing some of your time in FreeBSD. Maybe you'll become an adopter or a dev. After all, Windows is (probably) powering your PC at school, while FreeBSD is powering your PlayStation and Netflix. Maybe you can do without Windows, but what would life be without the other two?"

For years I have been looking for a floating WM that would adopt tags and the closest thing I have managed to achieve was adding a script to a floating WM like 2bwm.

Only today I realize that I have had one under my nose for years; namely cwm!

Cwm uses groups, let's say a kind of tag with toggle.

Honestly, more than "groups", I conceive them as "layers" to show/hide/overlay at will.

Just to reiterate:

Just realised that I haven't used Linux personally for a very long time. Yes I have to use it at work for things like Olex plotters on fishing vessels and VSAT modems / firewalls but at home my wife is the only person running Linux, Yes she's into that BTW distro. I seem to actually becoming a fully fledged BSD user and I'm quite proud of that. #RunBSD
Added a custom layout indicator for my #MaomaoWM setup on #Waybar that shows the current layout for all screens. It's not much but it's mine. πŸ˜€
