However – that one didn’t realy work since the repository which was added is not for the beta but for the release – meaning I got 1.1.

After some digging on the mozilla server I found the right repository which is:
URL: http://moff.mozilla.com/latest-beta/maemo/multi/
Distribution: fremantle
Components: release

Adding that one and disabling the other mozilla repository got me Fennec 4.0b2 installed.

Have fun playing

It’s probably the most important tool to verify new ports and/or patches on different FreeBSD versions (and with a little trick even on different architectures). And it is also a nice tool to find missing entries in pkg-plist.

That said I have to add that it can be an pain in the ass. I’m currently working on an upgrade of devel/boost-* ports to version 1.43 – right now I’m in the phase where I test other programs with the newer library – of course with tinderbox. However – I added a port to the queue for alls systems / architectures I have in my tb – and realized to late, that it would need to build about another 200 ports dependencies (per instance) – so I looked at the command list to find something to stop the whole lunacy (I should add that I use the patch which enables me to use several tinderd instances) – I tried “resetBuild” but that didn’t really work out – after that I used tbkill.

Well as it seems I also tried to restart my tinderd processes – which was a mistake because it left me a tinderlock directory and a tinderd.xxxx file in my /tmp directory. Those 2 then caused me the problem that tinderd would not accept anything in the queue – but building something with ./tc … directly worked fine.

The whole point of me writing this, is that if you encounter the problem that tinderd just won’t do anything – check your /tmp directory for leftovers – it might help…

PS.: I’m well aware that the problem was caused by me playing around – but show me someone who does not “play” a little bit with “toys” like tinderbox…

However – as soon as I was done I tried the config on my notebook and noticed an ugly white space within the gvim window. Since gvim behaves like eg xterm, urxvt etc it always tries to display only whole lines ( full height) – meaning with the right/wrong font you will get an empy space at the bottom of the window with up to [Fontsize] – 1px height – which looks … – let’s say not that nice. However – this will only happen if you use a windowmanager which enforces the window height no matter what – e.g. xmonad does that.

gvim & xmonad trouble

gvim & xmonad trouble

To solve that problem – at least when you are using xmonad you can use XMonad.Layout.LayoutHints which is part of xmonad-contrib. This will allow the program to have some influence on its size – meaning eg gvim won’t have that white border at the bottom…
