    @gumnos Still in ports, but fuck compiling anything that heavyweight. Absolutely hellish browser to compile because it vendors basically an entire operating system--and one that's way heavier than buildworld at that!

    Spun off from (Linux) Fedora Verified: Help Shape a New Way to Recognize Fedora Contributors | BSD Cafe Billboard FreeBSD Project https://framapiaf.org/@tubsta@bsdlab.au/116478621827645455 – redirects to https://social.bsdlab.au/notice/B5jMI1FY3WtTTWqvNA: Something the #FreeBSD core team could consider. This is something that has probably been needed for a while @dch@bsd.network My initial thoughts: it's an awful lot to think about for a project, or team (Core, for example), that already has, I think, too much to think about. Fedora Project From the Proposal: Unanswered Questions for the Fedora Community While we have a framework, there are several major questions we need the community to answer before we move forward. Specifically, we want to know: Validation: Should applicants be approved by grassroots peer vouches, or an elected committee? Fairness: Does this model truly value non-code contributions equally? Progression: How strictly structured should the path to becoming “Verified” be? Maintenance: Should the status expire after 12 months of inactivity? Of those four questions, the first two are huge. https://mastodon.social/@mxenbionix/116478348932821730: … I do have to echo some of the concerns people seem to be raising about being unclear to what this is actually solving. … Also, the commentary at and under https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/188603/3.

    Version 595.71.05 of #NVIDIA #GPU driver sets are released at Apr.28, 2026. https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/267226/But patch to upgrade #FreeBSD #ports are now #pending to be submitted until temporary workaround or fixed version for build issues of graphics/drm-61-kmod and graphics/drm-66-kmod reported as Bug 294870 and Bug 294875 is committed. https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=294870 https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=294875Upstream seems to be working on "real fixes", but maybe need some more time to finish. So I've attached a patch for workaround both for Bug 294870 and Bug 294875 at Bug 294870 already (not tested on any branch other than stable/15, though).

    @grahamperrin Hey! I haven’t gone through the script in depth—I signed up because I’m interested in a feature that might be similar to something I want to use in a personal installer I’m building for myself. From a quick read, it looks like the new port handles package updates, while avoiding the removal of unwanted packages should be up to pkg. Anyway, I’m currently busy studying the partitioner; pkg (and pkgbase) should be the next step for my installer.
