When I'm compiling ports on FreeBSD the process gets interrupted with these ncurses gui prompts (pic related). Sometimes compilation takes hours and should be done unattended. Is there a way to avoid these prompts, maybe some flag to accept the defaults?
>>55255281
Welcome to FreeBSD.
WHY WOULD ANYONE WNAT 2 DO AN UNATTENDED INSTALL??????
Don't you like how SUPERIOR the ports system is to portage you luddite? I bet you use GAHNOO lincuck!!1

>>55255281
just type BATCH=YES before the make install command.
I think make config-recursive can also allow you to do all this before actually installing.
>>55255311
>anti BSDfag THIS uninformed
gee im not surprised
>>55255393
You have to either disable any options or run config-recursive a dozen times. BSD strong. My favorite part is how freebsdtards constantly shit on portage despite it being lightyears ahead in every department.
>>55255418
Stop acting like you know what you're talking about. >>55255311 Proves that you don't.

t. freebsdcuck.
>>55255511
Aren't you a freebsdcuck? What happened to "FreeBSD is more secure!"
>>55255312
>>55255393
thx, will try it
op
>>55255517
>more secure
kek
>>55256144
Exactly.
But wait, did you know OpenBSD's security was literally the worst of all time according to some blog with the word "troll" in the title?
>>55255281
use packages
n00b question: what's the difference between FreeBSD's "Security Advisories" and "Errata Notices"?
https://www.freebsd.org/security/advisories.html
https://www.freebsd.org/security/notices.html
and why do they all say:
> Recompile the operating system using buildworld and installworld
for non i386 or amd64 systems?!
recompiling the OS for every fucking time you need to install a security patch?!?!
>>55256263
>if I believe it enough, reality will change and it will become true!
OpenBSDfags everybody. It's also an apt description of their approach to security.
>>55256540
It's funny because you've been doing this since about 5 am in my time zone, now it's 3 pm.
>>55256603
What are you even talking about? This is literally my second post on /g/ this week. openBSDtards really are braindamaged.

Shhhhhhh....all the Gentoo fags will swarm to BSD.

top kek
>>55256647
that's not the first time you said this exact thing
lmao you fucking autist
>>55255281
The BATCH=YES approach already explained works, but:
> yes | portmaster <ports to install>
Will show all prompts at the start, then just run all builds..
>>55257126
Oh hey, that's a nice solution, had no idea it existed.
>>55255281
you dont have to compile everything from ports you know. FreeBSD also has a package manager for binaries
thanks. i brought up the question of those gui prompts because i will soon try to compile the kernel and world. it seems you need to recompile the entire os everytime you install a security fix (on non x86 systems). seems pretty retarded.
>>55256936
Go hit the gym fat neckbeard
>>55258608
for x86/amd64 there ARE binary updates
>>55258608
>>55258808
well nevermind it turns out i forgot how to read
what are you running it on anyway? i'm curious
>>55258822
on a Raspberry Pi. just for fun. but compiling is sloooooooooow!
>>55255281
spot the faggot normie not using gentoo/bsd.
>>55259326
there's probably a way to cross-compile and get faster results, never had to do it though so i have no idea
FreeBSD is really focused on x86/amd64 in general, the other platforms are more like experiments
>>55255281
Install Linux
Set up a virtual machine
Boot up the FreeBSD installer
Make a macro that simulates the desired user input
Explore Linux while FreeBSD installs
Give up on FreeBSD because it's a special snowflake OS.

Do you have any actual arguments in favor of BSD or are you just going to complain that people on the internet think you're a dumbass?

Don't worry, BSD cucks are on wrong kind of mushroom and suffer from some weird delusion

No, "cuck license" is not an argument.

you might be suprised to know FreeBSD comes with documentation.

coming from OpenBSD - FreeBSD's documentation is shit

Yeah, it's called "lack of softwares"

Remember when you edited the GNU/Linux copypasta and tried to force this meme and someone told you exactly why it's unfunny and you never posted it again? Not an argument anyway.
>-Offers no actual advantages over GNU/Linux, which is more widely supported
So I guess Windows is better because it's even more widely supported than Linux.
>-Cuck License (oh no! you said it's not argument so I just HAVE to listen to you!)
Exactly, just saying "KEK LICENSE LOL" is not an argument.
>>55259823
Not him but I do run windows inside a VM. I see no reason to use BSD however
>>55259799
what a dummy
>>55259830

Not like you HAVE to either, I do it out of preference.
>>55259794
also coming from OpenBSD ,wouldn't say shit, not OpenBSD tier but still better than linux
>>55259823
>Remember when you edited the GNU/Linux copypasta and tried to force this meme and someone told you exactly why it's unfunny and you never posted it again? Not an argument anyway.
I have never done this, and yet again I must point out that saying "KEK NOT AN ARGUMENT XDDD" doesn't shield you from the fact that you're a dumbass. Not a retort, anyway. Also, nothing werks.
>So I guess Windows is better because it's even more widely supported than Linux.
Yeah, but Linux dominates niches like infosec, servers, and low-level programming.
>Exactly, just saying "KEK LICENSE LOL" is not an argument.
See first point:
>yet again I must point out that saying "KEK NOT AN ARGUMENT XDDD" doesn't shield you from the fact that you're a dumbass. Not a retort, anyway.
Stay mad.

Stay in school, kid.
>>55259858
you kind of have to because it's amazing how far his mental gymnastics can go
it's morbid curiosity
>>55259861
Do you suffer from PTSD or some shit? I think you need to speak to a doctor
can a FreeBSD fag explain what the point is of downloading and applying a patch is, if in order to apply the patch you have to recompile world+kernel? if i already have to download the full world+kernel source (THAT HAS THE VULNERABILITY ALREADY PATCHED) what's the point of downloading the patch separately?
e.g. https://www.freebsd.org/security/advisories/FreeBSD-EN-16:06.libc.asc
>>55259957
There's no point.
I know OpenBSD has a -stable branch which is just the source tree with all the fixes already done, so you just sync up your tree, compile and install. Don't know if FreeBSD has an equivalent.
jesus this thread is an embarrassment
haven't you fags heard?
Netcraft has confirmed: *BSD is dead

>>55260116
When was it alive?
>>55259957
> if i patch libc why do i have to recompile all the stuff that uses libc?
if you can't understand this than there's no hope for you.
obviously not everything requires you to rebuild the whole os.
sometimes you need to recompile the kernel
most times you just need to recompile a single binary
if you are running i386/amd64 the only reason you would recompile instead of using freebsd-update(8) is if you are running a custom kernel.
>>55260116
i love that pasta so much for some reason
it's as much of a classic as GNU + Linucks
>>55260143
yeah, this
obviously if there's a bug in sshd you're only gonna need to recompile that part
>>55260116
if *BSD died >15 years ago why is this thread here
/thread
>>55259344
Wow, this is actually a thing.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gentoo/Alt#Gentoo.2FFreeBSD
Gentoo/FreeBSD is a Unix-like operating system developed by Gentoo Linux developers in order to bring Gentoo Linux design, structure, and tools such as Portage and the Gentoo Linux base layout to the FreeBSD operating system. Gentoo's GNU toolchain is used instead of the original FreeBSD one.
That's fucking cool.

You have to draw the line somewhere, dumbass. Linux is favored by some because it's free somewhere and somewhat usable. You are giving up both by using FreeBSD just to be a special snowflake.
>>55260425
