Greetings everybody; the idea of having a similar thread has crossed my mind a couple of times already, so I thought I'd better start one now that I have some more spare time. Below the /etc/mk.conf I use on my desktop. Replies - if ever there will be any - are very appreciated.

@"JuvenalUrbino"#p1709 😁 Don't know about **best practice** but, here is mine... ``` # mk.conf ALLOW_VULNERABLE_PACKAGES=1 MAKE_JOBS=4 PKG_DEVELOPER=yes ``` Some of the things you have are default when not specified, so you don't really need them on a native NetBSD system. Nice initiative, I do hope to see some more examples ;)

> @"pin"#p1710 Some of the things you have are default when not specified, so you don't really need them on a native NetBSD system. Would have bet so; coming from an illumos/macOS background (I started using pkgsrc before coming to NetBSD), where most of those settings (all?) aren't taken for granted, I embraced the habit of always specifying them so as not to get confused, even though nowadays I don't use neither macOS nor Illumos (but I do use pkgsrc on Linux). *Off-topic note / advocacy moment*: for the record I've also used pkgsrc on DragonFly at the time when it was its official package management system, on Solaris 10 with SunStudio 12.1 compiler and kind of got it working (just to compile tcsh) on IRIX with MIPSPro compiler....because pkgsrc is that good. Unfortunately my last Illumos installation, a Samsung laptop, died few months ago (bad blocks on HDD, unreadable sectors, multiple failures, not gonna waste waste money in such a old machine) and there's no newer hardware where to put it for desktop usage. I miss Solaris, but in the meantime I'm enjoying Linux *Fun fact*: On both Solaris and IRIX, as well as Illumos up untill very recently, you would also specify `ABI={32,64}` inside mk.conf, as userland by default is multilib and consists of both 32bit and 64bit ELFs, with a 64bit kernel (somewhat like nowadays it happens on Windows NT 64bit, where you also have 'Program Files(x86)')

I have two mk.confs, one for pbulk and one for non-pbulk.

> @"nia"#p1719 `PKG_OPTIONS.qt5-qtmultimedia+= -pulseaudio` Interesting 🤔 ... when you do this, what does `qt5-qtmultimedia` use for audio back-end? Guess `gstreamer`, is this correct?

Thank you both @"pin"#2 and @"nia"#43 for your replies ;)

@"pin"#p1721 You just get no sound. It's probably possible to configure alsa to output via oss, but I haven't tried that with qt apps.

share your mk.conf: pkgsrc best practices

JuvenalUrbino

pin possibly she's patching OpenAL to directly support NetBSD's audio(4)? I'm not sure whether OpenAL-soft can use SDL2 as backend, but the latter has certainly been working with the native audio API for some time already

Edit: @nia ok, I see 🙂

nia

JuvenalUrbino openal-soft already supports outputting to audio(4) by default. It calls it "solaris".

I don't think Qt5 can use openal as a standard audio output, it's either pulse or alsalib.

nia ok, I'll stick with firefox where you have done an awesome work.
The reason I asked was because I've updated qutebrowser in wip but, I don't want pulseaudio, avahi or consolekit on my system and, these are pulled-in. The last one, simply because its abandoned, the other two, due to personal dislike 😉

nia

pin I'm under the impression that webkit always uses gstreamer for audio output.

A few things use qtmultimedia, but mainly for sound effects and other annoyances. I'm not aware of many things using it as the primary output, maybe just qmmp.

It's probably an unfortunate side-effect of py-qt5 pulling in every qt component. It probably ought to be done on a more granular basis.

nia an unfortunate side-effect of py-qt5 pulling in every qt component. It probably ought to be done on a more granular basis.

Indeed. I would like to continue this discussion but, its getting off topic here...

@Jay Is it possible for you to move this discussion (all that has nothing to do with mk.conf) to the qutebrowser thread?

Jay

pin there's a split option but i doubt it can be merged 🙂 maybe in future it will be implemented via extention

JuvenalUrbino

Jay why not bring the thread on-topic by posting your mk.conf? I'm still waiting for it 😆 ;
As for qtmultimedia, I would have sworn it did pull openal at some point in a not so distant past, but apparently I was wrong 🙂

Jay

JuvenalUrbino mine is simple 😅

ALLOW_VULNERABLE_PACKAGES= yes SKIP_LICENSE_CHECK= yes

JuvenalUrbino As for qtmultimedia, I would have sworn it did pull openal at some point in a not so distant past but apparently I was wrong

Nah, look at options.mk

Jay

What's preferred setup for PKGSRC contributor? For eg. sanboxctl etc so it doesn't mess up workstation !

Jay what do you mean with mess-up?
See, https://wiki.netbsd.org/tutorials/pkgsrc/pbulk/

Jay

pin I broke my X server 😅

Jay how?
X is part of the base system.

Jay

pin upgraded my pkgsrc from 2019q4 to 2020q4 and did make clean and workstation hanged so had to reset now x won't start.

Edit: libffi.so.6 can't be find by mate-session.. I think it can be solved now

Edit1: 2020Q2 😛

Jay 2020q4

😮 You're ahead of time 😁

Jay libffi.so.6

Yeah, those can be a PITA.
All good now?

Jay

pin not yet 😅 we need to write developer's setup guide 🙂

Jay

pin do I need to reinstall all packages or build using pkgsrc? 😅

Jay If you medan 2030Q2, you have to build it. Manuel hasn't uploaded any binaries yet.

I'd love any feedback folks have to offer. I really hate the long line for LLVM options; is there some way I can break that up (e.g. line continuation)?

jbowen I really hate the long line for LLVM options; is there some way I can break that up (e.g. line continuation)?

That should work like all the other make variables:

PKG_OPTIONS.llvm=  -llvm-target-arc
PKG_OPTIONS.llvm+= -llvm-target-avr
...

jbowen

rvp Facepalm. Thanks!
