My #FreeBSD #ports builder is testing a new version of LavinMQ, an AMQP-compliant message broker.

To build it we have a comical chain of history and languages:

- needs crystal which …
- needs ruby
- needs python
- needs rust
- needs perl
- needs docbook
- needs expat and libxml
- needs cmake
- needs lua53 and lua54
- needs autoconf and automake
- needs gmake and libtool
- needs git
- needs pkgconf
- needs meson
- needs ninja
- needs m4
- needs curl
- needs llvm14 and llvm20
- needs yaml

I started off with a nice formatted tree but it soon devolved into a complex graph of inter-twined dependencies... it's a wonder we can build software at all, when so many of these requirements can change at any time.

Version 580.105.08 of #nvidia GPU driver sets landed on main (aka latest) branch of #FreeBSD #ports tree.

https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?id=2208426e57834d9a78c63632f2112091e9168665

Found #nvidia GPU driver set for #FreeBSD 580.105.08 is released upstream.
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/257494/

Working fine for me on my Quadro P1000 (notebook), stable/15 at commit fe38c6769b19.

So filed PR Bug 290813
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=290813
and corresponding review D53596

for upgrading #ports.

#Porting #FreeBSDLife earlier this year, I nervously picked up maintainership of lang/crystal and related ports from dmgk@ who's a very good developer. I was a bit worried about whether I'd get myself into something too difficult or time-consuming to handle, but I was wrong.

I have nothing but good things to say about the crystal devs and their language community. Back in 2022, we had a few things to fix back in 2022 related to figuring out what SSL libraries to bind to, but those have long since been addressed, and every release since then has been cake easy.

Today I'm updating #Ports from 1.16.0 to 1.18.2 and it's been plain sailing, probably a couple of hour tops for 4 ports, all requiring minimal chore fixes here and there, and most of it waiting for stuff to compile.

Making software as complex as a compiler, to work across multiple platforms, is no easy feat, and crystal has done an amazing job of this.

U.S. shipbuilders and port operators are facing the fallout of U.S. President Donald Trump’s campaign to wipe out the offshore wind industry, suffering lost government support, vanishing orders and an uncertain future. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/10/23/markets/us-shipbuilders-ports-trump-wind/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #markets #ports #ships #shipping #wind #renewables #us #donaldtrump #trade #tariffs #republicans

As I've overlooked the existence of #FreeBSD #ports graphics/drm-latest-kmod (now at 6.9) until yesterday, there were no corresponding #nvidia ones.
Now I've filed Bug290262

and opened corresponding review D53128

https://reviews.freebsd.org/D53128

to add graphics/nvidia-drm-latest-kmod and graphics/nvidia-drm-latest-kmod-devel.
Now the review is accepted and waiting for land.

Update for #nvidia #GPU #driver #ports on #FreeBSD to 580.95.05 landed as commit 7b1c88f42c7f4129bc96f405549f9e6b07bd6e3d.
https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?id=7b1c88f42c7f4129bc96f405549f9e6b07bd6e3d

We were pending it as kmod pkg repo still didn't have nvidia things and bapt was looking into it, but as of this information
https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5703
the commit was done without waiting for the reply from bapt.

#FreeBSD is not entitled there, but as #FreeBSD native #drivers are known to shares most source codes with corresponding Linux versions, FreeBSD can be affected, too. So users of non-legacy versions of driver ports are strongly encouraged to upgrade.

With this reason, the commit is already merged into 2025Q4, as security fix is one of the branket approval by portmgr and secteam.

Beware! Christos committed 9b26d309123abf0e90651298b131783ba7d9b945 on main branch of #FreeBSD #ports tree to ignore FreeBSD15 on audio/virtual_oss port and posted heads-up.

And correlated virtual_oss codes are NOT YET MFC'ed into stable/15.
https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-stable/2025-September/003306.html

Christos states he would MFC in 1 or 2 days,
https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-stable/2025-September/003307.html

but it means if you upgrade ports including and after the above-mentioned commit on stable/15 including any of ALPHA snapshots before the MFCs are done, you'll lose virtual_oss functionalities.

So hold upgrades of ports/pkgs or `pkg lock audio/virtual_oss` would be wanted in the meantime.

I'm sooo proud of my first contribution to the #FreeBSD #Ports tree. Although it were only 3 characters. Although I don't understand what @dvl is apologizing for -- "I'm sorry, I did not mention this PR in the commit message."

The only things I needed was an account at bugs.freebsd.org and this short chapter from the Porters Handbook. Wish I had time for getting more involved.

For anyone struggling #X11 stopped working on #FreeBSD after upgrading main branch of #ports tree to commit 316774b85e4fc8858989a98da1a36075b6cbc8d2 and later with nvidia GPUs, reverting following commits and rebuild graphics/drm-[61|66]-kmod whichever you're using and corresponding graphics/nvidia-drm-[61|66]-kmod[-devel] you're using and reboot would help.
