Issues with building editors/joe with ravenports-built synth
Trying to build joe or nano I get,
# synth just-build editors/joe
pkg-1.18.4.pkg failed option check.
Stand by, building pkg(8) first ... done!
Error opening terminal: xterm-256color.
# synth just-build editors/nano
pkg-1.18.4.pkg failed option check.

In reference to #204.
You aren't building inside a jail, right? nothing strange about your environment?
No, not inside a jail. Installing as root.
by the way, you don't still have ABI and ALTABI defined in environment do you? if so, clear that. You probably don't if you rebooted the machine though.
No, that was ephemeral. Not defined anymore.
do you have anything installed at /raven/share/misc/terminfo directory?
No. This is a brand new installation of Synth. joe is the first port I am trying to package.
# ll /raven/share/misc/terminfo
ls: /raven/share/misc/terminfo: No such file or directory
# ll /raven/share/misc/

No. This is a brand new installation of Synth. joe is the first port I am trying to package.
so that's a problem I think. The synth port probably needs curses listed as a run dependency.
try this:
/raven/sbin/ravensw install -y ncurses-primary-standard
Then try building joe again
ncurses-primary-standard builds and installs fine. Then Synth start building joe with no errors or warnings.
But I can't seem to find the joe binary. I assume is my deep ignorance of how synth (or poudriere) would work here?
# /raven/sbin/ravensw install -y ncurses-primary-standard

This is problem:

We'll have to look into that.
There's a conception problem though. All we are trying to do is install a working version of synth (which is located at /raven/bin/synth I think). Synth is going to build the freebsd ports, and it should work as before, meaning it eventually installs to /usr/local.
synth just-build only builds the package, so you would not expect joe to be present. However, synth install should probably have installed it (at /usr/local)
what happens if you copy /usr/local/sbin/pkg to /raven/sbin/pkg ? (for testing purposes only, you shouldn't have to do this). Also, can you find /raven/etc/synth.ini and post it here?

That fixes it, now I can run joe.

okay, so here's what I need to do for sure.
- add ncurses as a run dependency
- add freebsd-pkg port, and add that as a run dependency
I checked the man page, the file is located in a subdirectory, e.g.
- /usr/local/etc/synth/synth.ini
- /raven/etc/synth/synth.ini
But I think the main issue was synth couldn't find the host pkg program because it assumed it was at /raven/sbin/pkg.
an easier fix is just have synth install a symlink of /usr/local/sbin/pkg to /raven/sbin/pkg. That way I don't have to build pkg and keep it up to date.
I've already updated ravenports synth with these fixes: https://github.com/Ravenports/ravensource/commit/46118dc7a524be05048d742ca5dfa7538fffa194
It will be a while before it's published though.
I checked the man page, the file is located in a subdirectory, e.g. * /usr/local/etc/synth/synth.ini * /raven/etc/synth/synth.ini

Thank you.
to follow up, I've updated the freebsd repository so hopefully synth pulls in curses and installs a symlink to freebsd's pkg now, making the wiki instructions work as intended.
Thank you. If it makes sense, I would like to go through the process once more, possibly submitting some clarification in the wiki page directions.
I would need to:
- Uninstall any package installed via synth, in this case, just
joe - Uninstall
synthvia/raven/sbin/ravensw - Uninstall
ravenswitself. - Redo all the steps one more time.
Would you advice on how to perform the first 3 steps cleanly?
Just so you know, any time I run ravensw I get warning, Warning: Major OS version upgrade detected. Running "pkg-static install -f pkg" recommended
Would this be correct?
- Uninstall any package installed via synth, in this case, just
joe
# pkg remove joe
Question: how would one uninstall all packages coming from one specific repository?
- Uninstall
synthvia/raven/sbin/ravensw
# /raven/sbin/ravensw remove synth-single-standard
- Uninstall
ravenswitself.
rm -rf /raven
rm -rf /var/db/ravensw
rm -rf /var/ravenports
The last 3 rm -rf commands should completely remove everything. You don't need to do anything else.
Regarding pkg-static message, if you still get it after reinstalling synth, your /use/local/sbin/pkg needs updating

But If I would just apply the 3 rm, wouldn't the joe package, installed via synth ports, still be in the system but no more upgreadable (repo would be gone)?
In any case, I did the three steps above, including the 3 rm, but I could still see the synth repository being referenced by pkg.
To fix that, I also did:
rm -rf /usr/local/etc/synth
rm /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/00_synth.conf
Now I am going to replicate the ravensw + synth setup and report back.
The /usr/local/ files are coming from the freebsd ports tree, I guess

Everything works with no hiccups now:
fetch http://www.ravenports.com/repository/ravensw-freebsd64-bootstrap.tar.gz
tar -C / -xzf ravensw-freebsd64-bootstrap.tar.gz
nano /raven/etc/ravensw.conf
/raven/sbin/ravensw upgrade
/raven/sbin/ravensw install -y synth-single-standard
synth just-build editors/joe
synth install editors/joe
Interestingly, when I ran synth just-build editors/joe I got:
After inspection, it has been determined that there are no packages that
require rebuilding; the task is therefore complete.
It seems synth did not need to rebuild joe, but how could that be? I thought I had completely removed the whole ravensw+synth+related files?
The only possible tweak I could suggest to the wiki page is to specify to edit /raven/etc/ravensw.conf after installing ravensw:
tar -C / -xzf ravensw-freebsd64-bootstrap.tar.gz
nano /raven/etc/ravensw.conf
If it doesn't need building, the profile's packages are still present.

"synth configure" will show you where the profile packages are located.
And "synth test joe" will force a build I think
