Typesetting Korean with TeXLive
Today, I received a request for adding support for ko.teX to the FreeBSD TeXLive ports. I created 3 ports for this purpose: print/kotex-util, print/kotex-macros and kotex-fonts-all.
I did some basic testing locally, but I don't read Korean, thus I could not test beyond the (minimalistic) examples. I am therefore looking for FreeBSD TeXLive users who are able to write Korean to help testing this package. If you are one of them, please give it a try and report any success or failures on the issue page.
TeXLive 2010 on FreeBSD
I definitively have a lack of time at the moment. Since this blog last entry is about Hey guys, I have just pushed TeXLive 2009 in the freebsd-texlive project
, I guess I have to take the time to write this short post:
One month ago, I pushed TeXLive 2010 to the freebsd-texlive repository. Moreover, because portshaker is now in the FreeBSD ports tree, installing bleeding-edge TeXLive on FreeBSD has never been so easy!
TeXLive 2009 on FreeBSD
I recently updated the freebsd-texlive project to make TeXLive 2009 (the latest verison) available as ports for FreeBSD.
I used a script for update TeXLive 2008 on a regular basis, but since these new ports feature pkg-plist files, I had to setup an update jail. So updates for FreeBSD TeXLive ports will be generated daily at 5:30 CET.

ZFS: unsupported ZFS version 14 (should be 13)
After updating to the latest development version of GNOME thanks' to MarcusCom ports I wanted to log out and back in but X refused to restart because of the in-heavy-development Nouveau video driver. I run in this problem every once a while and a full reboot solve this problem. However, the system did not boot.
The state of Mono 2.6 on FreeBSD
You wight have seen that mono 2.6 has been released for a while and is still not available in FreeBSD ports. Here are a few reasons.
Unbreaking Mono on FreeBSD 6.4
A few days ago ports/140916: lang/mono (2.4.2.3) installation fails was opened. The reported problem had already been reported a few time but with insufficient feedback so far and I was not able to diagnose the problem, not mentioning providing a fix. But this time, the reporter could spot that the problem was happening for him only with FreeBSD-6.4.
OpenRD console access on FreeBSD.
This morning, I received the Open-RD I bought a few days ago and started playing with my new device. One of the first thing I wanted to access was (of course) the system console. While the default setup provides a SSH daemon and even GDM and a full desktop, my goal is to have FreeBSD on this device and move the services I run at home from my personal computer to this low-consumption computer (and I don't intend to switch to GNU/Linux).
Introducing ZFS support in portshaker(8)
portshaker(8) is a tool designed for merging partial ports trees into the FreeBSD ports tree. In other words, it implements some kind of overlay for the FreeBSD ports.
Banshee: Like Frankenstein! It rips!
A while ago (I mean when it landed in the FreeBSD ports tree), Banshee reacted when a music CD-ROM was in a CD-Drive: it crashed. Well, not so cool in fact, you had to double-check it was empty before launching the player...
