• FreeBSD Ports for GNU/Linux $HOME

  We have a special ports tarball for GNU/Linux users, which does not require root access. It is not fully automated yet, but you can untar it in your home directory and try it.

  http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gnu-darwin/ports-user-linux.tar.gz

  Set up a subtree in ~/usr by adding the following varibles in your ~/.bashrc.

  alias make="make -I ~/usr/ports/Mk"
  PATH="$home/usr/local/bin:$HOME/usr/bin:$HOME/usr/X11R6/bin:$PATH"
  export PATH

  Also, edit ~/usr/ports/Mk/* and change the occurances of /home/love to your home directory path.

  "cd ~/usr/ports" and select the software that you want to try. Change to that directory and type "make install". Cross your fingers ;-}.

  If you run into problems, consult the GNU-Darwin ports directions and adapt them to the new situation.

  Cheers!

  BTW, Here is an example that worked OK for me.

  wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gnu-darwin/ports-user-linux.tar.gz
  tar -zxf ports-user-linux.tar.gz
  bash
  alias make="make -I ~/usr/ports/Mk"
  PATH="$home/usr/local/bin:$HOME/usr/bin:$HOME/usr/X11R6/bin:$PATH"
  export PATH
  cd ~/usr/ports/
  cd deskutils/cal/
  make
  cd work/cal-3.5/source/
  ./cal
  cd ../../../
  make install

  When I tried "make install", I got an error because I wasn't root. I fixed the problem like this.

  chmod 755 /home/love/usr/local/bin/cal
  cal

• GNU-Darwin: Secure your email messages

  * GNUPG encryption

  Encryption suite, GNUPG, is now in CVS. GNUPG is the GPL version of
  the famous personal encryption software PGP. Be sure to check out
  MacGPG. Of course, packages are also available.

  Tip: Use PGPGPG to sign your email messages in Postilion. Just make a
