About My Collection & New Additions
ABOUT MY COLLECTION-I started collecting baseball cards at age 5, in 1955, in my hometown of St. Louis, Missouri. I quit collecting during high school, but as Michael Corleone would say, "Just when I thought I was out... they pull me back in."
So, I found myself collecting again at age 29, in 1979, about the time when card collecting became a mainstream hobby for adults. There were hobby publications and price guides, card shops and conventions.
I left the hobby in the early 1990's only to return in 1998, at age 48, to a hobby world of eBay, internet auctions, chat boards, and most importantly, encapsulated graded cards.
My main collecting interest is the inaugural baseball card set produced by the Goudey Gum Company in 1933 advertising Big League Chewing Gum. I am also working to complete the non sport Indian Gum set issued that first year by the Goudey Gum Company, marking the beginning of the Bubblegum Era in card collecting.
Prior to the 1930's, cards were predominantly isuued by tobacco companies. I enjoy working on my 1888 Great Americans set issued by W. Duke, Sons & Company Cigarettes and my 1914 Coupon Cigarette cards, a rare regional baseball set advertising cigarettes only produced and distributed in Louisiana. I am getting close to completing the 1910 Champions set issued by tobacco brands Mecca, Hassan and Tolstoi.
My 1952 Red Man Chewing Tobacco cards represent the first cards advertising a tobacco product since the Golden Era prior to World War I. Included in this set are the baseball stars I grew up watching.
In short, I collect what I like, in the best condition I can find and afford. I think there is something of interest here for almost anybody. I am thankful for my hobby friends and contacts, a wife that understands my addiction, and a website like ImageEvent that allows me to look at my collection which is, by necessity, locked away in a bank vault.
NEW ADDITIONS-The easiest way to respond when asked what's new in my collection is to provide a link to here. Plus, this can act as my pictorial collecting blog.
My most recent additions have been dominated by some beautiful 1914 T213 Coupon Hall of Famers that came from a new hobby find. Do not be fooled by grades that are lower than I normally collect. These cards are tough to find and simply do not exist in high grades. A nice grouping of 1933 Indian Gum and 1910 T218 Champion cards were added in the last few months. I was also able to upgrade five cards in my 1888 Dukes Great American set. And, to top it off, I found upgrades to my 1933 Goudey set and two rare 1933 Goudey printing error cards.
So, check out the 100 most recent additions to my collection, which I will update often.

RGold Collection-1933 Goudey
The 1933 Goudey set is considered to be one of the top three sets in the hobby. It was one of the first sets issued in gum packs.
Although this innovative set is large and contains many expensive stars, the 1933 Goudey cards are widely collected and the competition is fierce.
The set has the distinction of including four different Babe Ruth cards. There is a batting pose with both red and yellow backgrounds, a portrait with green background, and a full body shot.
One of the rarest baseball cards from a mainstream set is card #106 Napoleon Lajoie. It was not originally issued in 1933, so the set could not be completed from packs. In 1934, Goudey issued the card to collectors that sent letters to the company complaining about the missing #106 card. Ironically, the Goudey Company sent the card to those few lucky collectors through the mail attached to a letter with a paper clip. Therefore, many of the surviving copies of this rare card show damage, resulting in it being hard to find in mint-like condition. It is now considered to be one of the "Big Three" most desired baseball cards along with the two cards from the T206 set depicting Honus Wagner and Eddie Plank.
There are only two recognized variations in the set. Card #6 Jimmy Dykes was originally produced showing his age as 26 and was subsequently corrected to read 36. Card #47 Heinie Manush pictures a fence or no fence above the outfield wall. None of the variations carry a premium. The set is fairly mistake free and contains only minimal spelling errors which were common in the era of this production.
Printing related errors or anomalies were very rare given that the quality control for the production of Goudey cards was so strong. However, I do have two examples missing the normal background colors. These may have been caused by running out of certain colors of ink during the printing process or they might somehow be a result of being printed at the same time as the Goudey Indian Gum Set, which had one series with white backgrounds. Also, I like to collect interesting misstrikes and ghost images from the Goudey sets including the World Wide Gum set issued by Goudey in Canada.
My set is now about 99% complete and stands as the #1 1933 Goudey set on the SGC Registry. I am still missing the Lajoie card and one of two Lou Gehrig cards. I have 174 cards graded SGC 88-92 which represents about 73% of the total set. I may never finish this monster, but I am having fun trying.

RGold Collection-1952 Red Man
Red Man baseball cards were the first national sets of tobacco cards produced since the golden days of tobacco cards in the early part of the 1900's. The 1952 Red Man Tobacco set is the rarest and hardest to complete of the four years that the cards were issued.
My set was once rated All-Time Finest on the PSA Registry, a listing of all the top baseball card sets. I retired my set after being ranked the best 1952 Red Man set for five years in a row 2002-2006. In 2002, my set was recognized as the top set in its category of regional sets.
In 2007, I began having my collection re-graded by Sportscard Guaranty(SGC), the company I consider to be the best in the hobby.
This set now consists of the very best cards from my old 1952 Red Man set combined with the very best cards from the Tony Conte collection which I purchased in 2008. It is now the #1 1952 Red Man set on the SGC Registry, and in 2010 won the SGC Best of Registry Award.
I plan to continue upgrading this set in SGC 88 or better. Check out my website www.redmancards.com

RGold Collection-1914 T213 Coupon Type 2
The T213 (Type 2) Coupon Cigarettes cards were issued in 1914, making them one of the last traditional tobacco sets of the golden era.
Borrowing the same images as T206, the T213 (Type 2) Coupon set was issued exclusively in the Louisiana area. They are most always kept from higher grades due to light creases(cracks) which are a result of the cards being manufactured with a lacquer coating to the front. The Louisiana climate did not help the preservation of the cards either. Plus, who knows how many cards may have been lost during Hurricane Katrina.
I like to collect Hall of Famers from this set with nice eye appeal regardless of the technical grade. There are 21 Hall of Famers with variations numbering 49 different cards. I am also going to include Hal Chase's six cards, three poses with two team variations of each.
I have all 21 Hall of Famers, but I will be looking for the pose and team variations that I need. I also have four out of six Hal Chase cards that were included in the set. I am currently missing 9 of the possible 55 cards that will make up this collection.

RGold Collection-1936 R312 Premiums
The 1936 R312 premium baseball set, issued by National Chicle, is comprised of twenty-five individual player portraits, fourteen multiplayer portraits, and eleven in-action photos. The beautiful, rich pastel colors of R312 premiums make them one of the most striking and distinctive of all 1930s issues.
The R312 premiums have received very little attention from collectors, in part due to the fact that they are larger than standard cards, measuring 4" x 5 3/8". Also, they are blank-backed with no identification of the issuer.
A note of interest is that Joe DiMaggio's name is misspelled "DiMagio" on his card.
I have completed this set, but I will try to collect any upgrades that I can find as they can be quite hard to acquire in decent condition.

RGold Collection-1910 T218 Champions
These cards were issued by different tobacco companies as shown on the back of each card. The brands most commonly found are Mecca and Hassan. Tolstoi backs are very rare in any condition.
The set illustrates how sport in America has changed over the years. Besides the beauty of the cards, the most striking thing is that only a handful of the stars are remembered today.
The set features 62 boxers including heavyweight boxing champions Jack Johnson and James Jeffries. The set also includes featherweight boxing champion Abe Attell who later gained notoriety as a key figure in baseball's Black Sox scandal. However, for the most part, the set is dominated by long forgotten Olympians.
The set is large, and becoming expensive to collect. The 153 different cards were issued in three series, with Mecca backs used on all three series, Hassan backs on only series 1 and 2, and Tolstoi backs on only series 2. In addition, there are two different factory designations showing where the cards were printed. I will try to collect SGC cards as I can find them, but a complete master set with all back variations would seem to be out of reach. I will only look to complete a basic set, ignoring all back variations.

RGold Collection-Gashouse Gang
The St. Louis Cardinals Gashouse Gang won the World Series in 1934 led by four future Hall of Famers Dizzy Dean, Joe Medwick, Frank Frisch and Leo Durocher. Although he is not in the Hall of Fame, Pepper Martin was the heart and soul of the Gashouse Gang, a ball club that represented the rough-and-tumble Depression era.
I like to collect wire photos of these players from the Gashouse Gang. Wire photos are 2nd generation photographs, developed from duplicate negatives or wire transmissions within approximately two years of when the pictures were taken. Wire photos were used by the press, and many have been becoming available as newspaper files are being closed.

RGold Collection-1933 Goudey Indian Gum
Issued from 1933 through 1940, the Goudey Indian Gum set is among the most popular of all non-sports sets. The set contains 216 numbered, multi-colored artwork cards highlighting American Indians and famous U.S. military officers. The set also includes famous action scenes and historical figures of the time.
Highlights include Geronimo, Pocahontas, Sitting Bull, Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett, General Custer, Wild Bill Hickok, Billy the Kid, Sam Houston, Kit Carson and Buffalo Bill.
In addition to the scarce blue border and white background variations, the cards were issued in different series as noted on the back of each card, making collecting a master set of all variations quite difficult.
Completing a basic set of all 216 subjects or a master set of 432 with variations is probably out of my reach, but I will add cards as they become available.

RGold Collection-1888 N76 Duke Americans
The popular 50 card Great Americans set was issued in 1888 by W. Duke, Sons & Co.
The artwork is fantastic, and the choice of subjects depicts an America just 23 years removed from the Civil War. There is even one variation, H.W. Beecher posing both left and right.
These cards are over 125 years old, and can be very hard to find in nice condition. Aside from corner wear and off centering, surface damage and paper loss are common faults found in these cards. I will try to upgrade the set if cards become available.

RGold Collection-Shelby Gum
During the 1930's, Shelby Gum Company issued several sets of trading cards. Hollywood Picture Stars was the most popular set, and was reprinted several times.
Very few movie star trading card sets have been issued in the United States. This is surprising since baseball and other subjects have been generously covered by trading card sets. The movie sets that do exist tend to be very scarce.
Shelby Gum Company is known as the originator of bubble gum. One of their laboratory employees, while trying to come up with a preservative to extend the shelf life of gum, accidentally came up with bubble gum.
The Hollywood Pictures Stars cards are very attractive when found in high grade, and include major stars such as Shirley Temple, Joan Blondell, Clark Gable, Jean Harlow, Joan Crawford, Helen Hayes, Wallace Beery, Tom Mix, Loretta Young and Laurel & Hardy.
This forty card set was first issued with purple ink on the back. It was later issued using red ink and having a mail order ad for an album. There are also variations of the captions on the fronts. In addition, the set was issued in Canada by Hamiilton Gum with the same fronts but different numbers and text in both English and French on the backs.
The set is a work in progress. I hope to add to this collection including variations as cards are found.

4 Lazy Ways to a Faster Metabolism
Speed up your metabolism without even moving. Here's how.
By Jessica Girdwain
Sleep it off.
A single night of less sleep than the recommended seven to nine hours causes your resting metabolism to dip by about 5 percent the next day, says a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. "Sleep loss induces widespread hormonal changes that pump up the amount of ghrelin--the hormone that triggers appetite--in your body and dial down your metabolism," explains study coauthor Christian Benedict, Ph.D. Conk out a little earlier for a better body, mood, everything.

We Day event encourages youth to make a difference in the world
Thousands of students packed the KeyArena on Friday to listen to inspirational speeches and performances at Seattle's second-ever We Day celebration.
Seattle Times staff reporter
The enthusiastic screams of thousands of students reverberated through KeyArena Friday during the presentation of inspirational speeches and performances at Seattle's second-ever We Day celebration.
The event, designed to inspire children and teens to make a difference, is an effort of Free The Children, an international charity. The first-ever We Day in the United States was in Seattle last year.
In order to be at We Day, the students had to commit to work for local and global issues.
Speakers ranged from Seattle Seahawks players to the eldest son of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Performers included rapper Flo Rida, Australian singer Cody Simpson and The Connection, a hip-hop dance group.
Martin Luther King III was the first speaker. He told the crowd: "You as young women and men can change the world."
Later, when Seahawks coach Pete Carroll graced the stage, he asked whether anyone was at the Seahawks Super Bowl victory parade last month.
"If you need a note, I'll write it for ya," he quipped — a nod to those who skipped school to see the victors.
Craig Kielburger, co-founder of Free The Children, told reporters that Carroll was the person "who dreamt up the idea to bring We Day to Washington."
Thousands of students screamed both times that four Seahawks players — Russell Wilson, Derrick Coleman, Bobby Wagner and Jermaine Kearse — hit the stage, once with the Vince Lombardi Super Bowl trophy in hand.
Asked in an interview what advice he would give to kids who want to change their communities, Wilson said, "Be bold. That means a lot of different things, but know what you stand for, be bold and go get it."
Spencer West, who lost both legs at age 5, but who nonetheless was able to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, shared a few keys to success:
"One of the biggest lessons that I've learned, in particular, is the importance of having a team and how essential that is to any journey for changing the world," he said.
Another lesson, West said, was figuring out why you are working on an issue, and why that issue is important to you.
"Getting involved simply because it's the right thing to do isn't enough," he said. "You have to have the why."
Sixteen-year-old Indira Rayala, a student at Henry M. Jackson High School in Mill Creek, is treasurer for a club called Literacy for Love, which aims to spread literacy on a local and global scale by collecting and donating books.
"There's gonna be kids who will have their own books now because of what we did," Rayala said.
Material from The Seattle Times archives was used in this report.

FNCers Kidnapped In Gaza: New Zealand Sends Diplomats To Jerusalem
The media in New Zealand is keeping a very close watch on the kidnapping of cameraman Olaf Wiig and correspondent Steve Centanni.
"Olaf's New Zealand passport and the man that he is are the two single greatest assets he has," Wiig's wife Anita McNaught tells the Manawatu Standard. The paper reports that NZ "diplomatic staff in Cairo, Egypt, and Ankara, Turkey, had been sent to Jerusalem to work with Palestinian and British authorities to secure the men's release."
spoke to his brother Sven just last week. "He had just arrived in Gaza and was enjoying being back in Gaza — he'd been there several times and really liked the place, the people — and being away from Jerusalem," Sven tells the NZ Herald.

A little about me...
Hello, Well... today is the day. Thanks for the chats and smiles. Maybe I'll catch ya later, @ CWC. I am a fairly shy person, down deep, but I enjoy lot's of things. I enjoy going places, eating out with a friend,as well as cooking for someone special, laughing and having fun, clean movies, bowling, going fishing ( as long as I don't have to put a worm on my own hook) ha ( minnows are fine) Being on the lake cruising slowly and enjoying the atmosphere God has given us is so awesome. I love to sight see, but haven't had the opportunity much. I am from a musical family and still sing, and am in the praise team at Calvary Worship Center. I enjoy all kinds of music. I'm not a fancy cook, but can make a decent meal, and keep a decent house. I enjoy the out doors. Have always dreamed of a cabin on the lake. I love being entertained. Thus I love attending the Kentucky Fine Arts Asso. events. I miss having someone to share life with. Would love to meet someone and begin building a relationship. I am compassionate, hope to meet someone with a tender spirit and strong values. I absolutley love my grandchildren, but don't get to be with them enough. I love my church, and family, and hope to have a partner in life one day who enjoys the same.
About the one I'm looking for...
I'm looking for a man of integrity. One to love me for who I am. It would be so great to have someone in my life. Someone strong and compassionate all at the same time. A good velvet and steel mix. Someone not afraid to stand up for what he believes in. Someone who sees the value of the inner person as well as the beauty of the outer persons appeal and personality You could be the one? We could have a lot of fun together laughing and discovering each others personalities. Of course... you must also be a christian with a value on life, love, and family. These are important to me. Hope to talk to you soon. Don't be shy.(like me) I'm waiting. And time is running out.
I'd just like to add...
I have lived in Florida,(near Ocala), Louisana,(West Bank of New Orleans), Mississippi, near Hattiesburg) and Kentucky. I like the southern states.Most of my family lives in the south. Would relocate for the right person. I'm not materialistic, I like nice things, but things can't fill a heart.

Below are the available bulk discount rates for each individual item when you purchase a certain amount
With its exclusive suspended motor action the Oster Stim-U-Lax combines the advantages of hand and mechanical massage. This is the single-speed professional model #103. All other models are no longer in production.
This ingenious feature from Oster allows the motor to shift its weight up, down, and from side to side with such speed that it delivers several thousand rotating-patting massage movements per minute to your fingertips.
The Ideal Scalp Massager - Retro and it Works During the 1940s and 1950s, this is the unit that every good barber used in his barber shop. Men loved getting their scalp massage when they got their "shave and a haircut".
Benefits of the Oster Stim-U-Lax Massager Oster brand name quality 100% ball bearing construction Traditional frame design Single speed unit Suspended motor massage action Frame contour to fit hand Chrome housing Rubber hand pad.
The OsterExclusive Suspended Motor Action combines the advantages of hand and mechanical massage: Motor is suspended between two bearings Motor rotates in eccentric at front Motor pivots on a spring at rear.
How to use your Oster Massager!
Place all four fingers under the large strap. Slide the two middle fingers under the small strap. Push the massager far back on your hand. This position is important for good massage. It gives your fingers the most freedom and permits the instrument to deliver its very best massage action.
Massage can be applied over clothing, but it is most effective when applied directly to the body. Use both hands whenever possible. The free hand should duplicate the movements of the instrument hand. Massage should be gentle and pleasant. Take your time. Do not dig in with your fingers.
The application should be soothing and not too vigorous. Specs: Operates on 120 volts, 5 Watts, 25-60 cycles, Weight 3 lbs AC only.

I'm sure this has been asked before so I apologize if I missed it (used the search feature and everything).
I'm just curious about this. I understand that your body prioritizes using carbohydrates for energy, and that when your blood sugar falls your liver tells your body to start breaking down muscle for glucose. But at what point does your body begin to break down fat over muscle? Maybe there are a few key elements that need to be present for your body to burn fat, I don't really know, but I'm curious. Please explain

Brody Dalle's 'Diploid Love' wears ache as a badge of honor
Album review: Brody Dalle's 'Diploid Love'
Published: May 14, 2014
Brody Dalle
Diploid Love
Queen of Hearts
★★★★ (out of 5 stars)
There's always been a sense of mourning or melancholy permeating Brody Dalle's smoky voice, and that sense is at the forefront of her first true solo album. Bolstered by contributions from alt figureheads such as Garbage's Shirley Manson, Warpaint vocalist Emily Kokal and Strokes guitarist Nick Valensi (among others), Dalle sews together nine heart-heavy entries mutated from slabs of leftover punk fury and cold new-wave apathy. Even when she's attempting to extol what we assume is pure glee ("Meet the Foetus/Oh the Joy") Dalle laces in regret, sarcasm and some kind of pain. Diploid Love is feeling bad that feels good, though, the sort of aching you wear as a badge of honor. So what if the horn section is mocking you? Dalle's voice is addictive, and few other singers give us raw hurt that's so kinetic. Hats off to producer Alain Johannes, who gave this album a great sheen without sacrificing thump.

Aleksey Cheusov is putting together a package manager for pkgsrc, called nih. (For "Not Invented Here"). It's binary-only at this point, so you'd need to run distbb or pbulk to generate packages, or download from avalon.dragonflybsd.org.
Category: pkgsrc
Another package manager: nih
MirBSD looking at pkgsrc, too
MirBSD is apparently also interested in pkgsrc as an alternative to the exclusive-to-MirBSD Mirports. The more the merrier, I say.
Pkgsrc 2010Q4 coming soon
The planned freeze is underway; so pkgsrc-2010Q4 should arrive soon. How soon? January 1st, if it's by the traditional schedule.
BSD Magazine: WebDAV
The latest(?) version of BSD Magazine is out. Among other things, it has an intro to pkgsrc. The site lists November 2010 for this issue, but it just showed up on the Twitter feed, so I'm not totally sure I have this right. In any case, it's a free download.
Run the JDK all you like
Francois Tigeot figured out how to get it to work.
LOCALPATCHES a possibility
I never really noticed this before, but it's possible to include your own patchsets into pkgsrc and have them picked up as part of the build process, using $LOCALPATCHES.
Lazy Reading: Lots and lots of it
Somehow I ended up with a zillion links for this week's Lazy Reading. I hope you've got some spare time for this… Let's get right into it:
- Michael Lucas, BSD book author (see links on site), has started Twittering. He's also found the Wikileaks/NetBSD association that I didn't know about, as Julian Assange even shows up in the NetBSD fortunes file. Also, while linking to his blog, I'll point at his post on "Write what you don't know". Think of that article next time you feel you don't know enough to contribute to something – especially open source.
- There's a lengthy dialog on the firstname.lastname@example.com mailing list about pkgsrc, and "Making it easier to get and use pkgsrc". You can follow the whole thread on the listing page. I am all for the idea. Everybody and their brother has an App Store these days. Ports/pkgsrc are perhaps the original app store ideas, and I'd like to see them brought to the same level as these commercial entitites. This is important: pkgsrc is perhaps the only app store equivalent in existence that is not tied to a platform; that exists only to get you software rather than to provide a way to tie a platform into its developers profits.
- Hey, a roguelike zombie apocalypse game! Aw, it's Windows-only.
- Mikel King has an editorial that sums up the many places BSD serves as an underpinning to products – a good checklist, if you don't know of them. He's also written an instructional article on passwordless/SSH setup.
- Along the same lines, Promote Perl by Building Great Things. This applies to BSD products too; telling people it's great doesn't work as well as making something great and showing that a BSD system is part of what makes it so.
- Did you know there are even BSD Certification classes in Iran? I really need to do that… though probably not at that location.
- Yacc is not dead. (via) I link to this because I had a moment of nerd excitement realizing that blog's title is intended to look like a bang path.
- Database design ideas. There's been a good series of posts there lately, good for anyone wanting to move beyond the basic CRUD details.
More JDK progress
wip/jdk15 now works on i386, too, under specific circumstances.
JDK progress
Francois Tigeot has wip/jdk15 working for DragonFly/x86_64. It's not there yet for i386…
ProFTPd upgrade
If you have net/proftpd installed, and you installed it in the last week or so, you may want to upgrade. There's been a security problem with the source files.
Chromium testing for DragonFly
Rui-Xiang Guo has brought chromium, the base of Google's speedy Chrome web browser, into pkgsrc, in the wip branch. He's looking for testers of the work, especially on DragonFly. Please try it and report!
Robotics, anyone?
Tomas Bodzar found robotpkg, a pkgsrc-based collection of robotics-related software. Because of its pkgsrc origins, it should in theory work with DragonFly, or most anything.
pkg_radd: oddly successful with upgrades
The utility pkg_add has a -u option that tells it to upgrade any existing matched package with a given binary package. Since pkg_radd passes options on to the underlying use of pkg_add, after automatically setting a remote repository for binary files, pkg_radd -u <packagename> tells pkg_add to automatically find and upgrade a package.
I never thought this would work. However, I'm building a package on a system that has pkgsrc-2010Q1 packages installed, but a pkgsrc-2010Q3 /usr/pkgsrc. Every time I've encountered an error because installed software was too low a version, pkg_radd -uv <package_name> has resulted in a quick upgrade.
I'm not recommending this as a new upgrade method; I'm noting how unexpectedly well this experiment is going. It may be just blind luck, but this sure would be nice if it 'just worked'.
Building Java, again
Francois Tigeot was able to get wip/jdk15 to build on DragonFly, from pkgsrc-wip. Unfortunately, the package has been removed, but he's looking to put it back.
A fix for docbook and pkgsrc issues
A number of people have encountered this: while installing some larger pkgsrc package, the process stops on a strange DocBook error. Alex Hornung has a fix: symlink /usr/pkg/etc/xml/catalog to /usr/pkg/share/xml/catalog.
Dovecot upgrade
Dovecot, a rather popular IMAP/POP3 mail server, has had version 2 arrive in pkgsrc. There's an upgrade guide on pkgsrc-users@ if you're thinking of upgrading.
KDE4 patches to try
Alex Hornung has some patches that allow KDE4 to build on DragonFly. They aren't in pkgsrc and not all in KDE yet, so try them out directly if you want KDE4, for now.
Update: based on something Alex said on IRC… they're in KDE4 now.
Chroot and pkgsrc tips
Chris Turner wrote some notes about building pkgsrc packages in a chroot, including the handy tip of using
to run and display a GUI-using app under the chroot.
Firefox fix found
Git mirror for pkgsrc being rebuilt
Our mirror of the never-quite-official git repository for pkgsrc is being rebuilt, so it will be temporarily inaccessible. Matthew Dillon is working on building a new one directly from pkgsrc CVS, which will have a different link.
Update: It's finished. Matthew Dillon's posted a summary of the changes and what you need to update in order to use it.
Flash 9 on DragonFly
Chris Turner wrote up his experience of getting Flash 9 to work on DragonFly. The usual disclaimers apply.
Update: there's an improved library available that fixes some audio and video sync problems.
Revised pkgsrc guide
I've drastically revamped the pkgsrc howto on the dragonflybsd.org website. It's also linked in that site's menu, too. Comments please!
Don't upgrade, do recompile
A bump in shared library version for libssl/libcrypto means that any programs dependent on it will require a rebuild – including any pkgsrc programs.
This only affects you if you are running 2.7, for now. It means that on upgrading from 2.6 to 2.8, any libssl-using programs will need to be updated. This may not be a big thing, since pkgsrc-2010Q3 will also be out and people will want to upgrade anyway.
Lazy Reading: subversion, packaging, beams
A small crop for Lazy Reading this week – oh well.
- Bad things about SVN. I've always thought git is more interesting, but subversion is easier. Oh well. The article is also fun for the unfiltered Windows-hate.
- At least this hasn't happened yet with pkgsrc.
- What happens if you put your hand in the way of the Large Hadron Collider beam? (via)
Binary package upgrade issue
I've noticed that if you have older pkgsrc packages installed, and install binary packages for pkgsrc-2010Q2, those packages will refuse to install if pkg_install is an older version than what they were built with.
I ended up force-deleting pkg_install and bmake, and reinstalling by running pkgtools/bootstrap/bootstrap. There may be better solutions; I'm mentioning it now since it's a known problem.
Update: "bmake replace USE_DESTDIR=yes" was suggested by Joerg Sonnenberger. "pkg_add -u /path/to/newer/pkg_install" should also work (untested).
This will probably apply to the upcoming pkgsrc-2010Q3, too. Building from source is a workaround for now.
Squid issues
Jan Lentfer updated his version of squid, and had issues; this is a note for anyone else running squid to maybe wait before upgrading. Note that this applies to the development version of squid, not necessarily the pkgsrc version.
Update: No, wait, it's OK.
pkgsrc database, compiler changes
I mentioned previously that Postgres 9 is already in pkgsrc, but the flip side of that is both Postgres 8.2, and MySQL 4 are being removed. If you still have these installed, be ready to migrate at your next upgrade.
Oh, and you can switch to clang for building pkgsrc, too.
2.8 release in a few weeks
It looks like 2.8 will be showing up in a few weeks – mid-October. If things go well, we'll have prebuilt pkgsrc-2010Q3 binaries to go with it.
Freeze for pkgsrc-2010Q3 starting soon
Starting September 23rd, pkgsrc will freeze (i.e. bugfixes only) in preparation for the 2010Q3 release, which is planned for one week later, instead of the usual 2 weeks. This release will include some very new software like Postgres 9, too.
rpkgmanager, a want-list based pkgsrc manager
Some time ago, there was an application called pkgmanager, available in pkgsrc-wip. It worked by tracking 'wanted' packages in pkgsrc, and upgrading based on that list. It hasn't been updated in some time, however, and may not even build.
'Rumko' has written a replacement, called rpkgmanager. The Gitorious page linked in the previous sentence includes the URL to download the code via Git, so it's available to try now even though it's not yet in pkgsrc.
Lazy reading: toeplitz, forking, curating, Nethack
I totally meant to post this yesterday. Oops!
- We're using toeplitz. I just like the name; I don't understand how it works.
- The idea of software forks has been around since, oh, BSD and System V Unix diverged, if not earlier. Here's an article that talks about forking in general, rather breathlessly. After reading that, read this perhaps more accurate fork parody. (via)
- You know what we could use for pkgsrc, and all the other port/package collections? Explanation. They face the same problem phone application stores face: too many programs to easily select what you need. You could certainly build a whole site just around package reviews; it's even possible to argue that Ubuntu or PC-BSD are built around just making some 3rd-party-app choices ahead of time on an existing operating system. Anyway, here's an article talking about that idea specifically around the Apple App Store. Please won't somebody who is not me do something like that for pkgsrc?
- This writeup of one man's experience with Forth gives a good feel for the language, or at least as good a feel as I can understand. Posted in memoriam for our recently departed Forth bootloader. (via) There's other enjoyable articles on that blog, too.
- This describes about two years of my life, except it was mostly Zangband.
A reference for pkgsrc make, again
There's a whole lot of options for bmake, used in pkgsrc, and they aren't immediately obvious. I've linked to a reference before, but it's no longer at that location. However, I found a new link!
Upgrading pkgsrc from 2010Q1 to 2010Q2
As I found out directly, upgrading from pkgsrc version 2010Q1 to 2010Q2 has a minor quirk: binary packages for 2010Q2 will refuse to install with an older version of pkg_install. Rebuild pkgtools/pkg_install to the 2010Q2 version and the problem will go away.
Minor software hiccup possible
happened to notice that recent libkinfo changes broke sysutils/estd. It's fixed by rebuilding the program, though this may affect a few other packages. This only affects people running bleeding-edge DragonFly 2.7.
HEADS UP: structure changes, pkgsrc changes
Two things:
- If you are running DragonFly 2.7, Matthew Dillon has made some kernel changes, so updating your 2.7 machine will require a full buildworld cycle, not quickworld.
- The binary packages for 2.6 and 2.7 have been updated to pkgsrc-2010Q2. This means that pkg_radd will automatically pull down newer packages, and you should make sure your /usr/pkgsrc is using the pkgsrc-2010Q2 release if you want to be sure there's no version mismatches.
I recently sent out a description of what built for pkgsrc-2010Q2 , though the section on not changing the stable link is no longer true.
pkgsrc-2010Q2 binary packages available
Binary packages built for pkgsrc-2010Q2 are available now via pkg_radd or directly. Make sure to read my lengthy post for exact details.
gimp-print may go away
On firstname.lastname@example.com, Greg Troxel proposed getting rid of gimp-print and associated packages. It's been superseded by gutenprint-lib, so it may be worth switching now for the newer printer drivers, even if the package isn't eliminated.
pkgsrc-2010Q2 out, I think
I haven't seen an announcement at all, but I'm inferring that it's out. I'll be changing the DragonFly build machines momentarily.
New pkgsrc Hackathon planned
There's an online hackathon (the 14th!) planned for July 30th through August 2nd for pkgsrc (and probably some NetBSD material too) at FreeNode/#netbsd-code on IRC. Aleksej Saushev's post has more details. At least it's cheap to attend!
A trick for updating moved packages
Sometimes, packages are renamed in pkgsrc, usually because of a version change. If that happens, it can be hard to find the replacement. You can manually add them, or there's a trick to make the build 'jump' to the new name.
pkgsrc git repo changes
Matthew Dillon set up a git copy of the pkgsrc repository some time ago. However, it's had syncing problems, and there's an 'official' pkgsrc git repository now which does not have the problems. You can still pull from the same place, but it's the 'master' branch now. His heads-up message describes how to switch.
Freeze for pkgsrc-2010Q2 starts about now
It's been 0.25 years since the last, so pkgsrc is due for another quarterly release. The usually-two-week freeze before release starts tonight. The release should happen at the end of the month.
png update in pkgsrc
Messylaneous – Unixy articles, clang, pkgsrc projects, more
- IBM's developerWorks has an article up about GNU screen. It's not BSD-specific, but the tips in using screen are useful. (Before someone brings it up: yes, tmux too.)
- Another article talks about inspecting network traffic using various tools including tcpdump and wireshark. It is a tremendous advantage to see what happens on a network at the most basic level, so this is a good skill to pick up.
- Oh, and "Setting up UNIX file systems" and "10 steps to Unix nirvana".
- FreeBSD now ships with clang. (via) I know DragonFly (mostly?) works with clang… Could we switch?
- "hwstat" will gain DragonFly support soon.
- Firmware for ral(4) has been added by Joe Talbott.
- Thomas Klausner has a writeup of some project ideas or goals taken from the recent pkgsrcCon. A followup has me thinking: if the -uu option updates dependent packages with pkg_add, does that mean 'pkg_radd -uu packagename" will do all updating possible based on available binary packages? Worth trying.
Extra DNS tools
Jan Lentfer has committed ldns and drill to DragonFly, in (unlikely) chance that you managed to delete BIND from pkgsrc (installed by default on 2.7+) and somehow couldn't replace it.
bmake(1)ing a list, checking it twice
I found this reference list of targets for bmake very useful, especially because I can never remember them all. Unfortunately, the site where it's located appears to be going away at the end of the month, but it should resurface on a new NetBSD wiki.
Old release users: update pkg_radd
I'm removing the links for the old (DragonFly 2.3 and older) pkg_radd paths on avalon.dragonflybsd.org. If you have one of those older systems, you can update one line in pkg_radd if it's useful to you.
Some pkgsrc reports
I've put a few of the reports from pkgsrc builds on DragonFly out. They're all using pkgsrc-2010Q1, on i386/DragonFly 2.6, i386/DragonFly 2.7, and x86_64/DragonFly 2.7. The links in the reports go to the errors that caused each package to not build. If you happen to see something that has an easy fix, or that you really need to have working, please submit a fix.
pkgsrc-2010Q1 available in binary form
Binary packages built for DragonFly 2.6 and 2.7 from the most recent pkgsrc quarterly release, 2010Q1, are now available. The utility pkg_radd will access them, or you can download directly.
There goes BIND
As previously foreshadowed, BIND has been removed from the DragonFly base system. Instead, it's installed from pkgsrc. Note that this includes tools like nslookup or host. Instructions after the jump.
3 things for pkgsrc
From my email to users@:
- I almost have pkgsrc-2010Q1 builds done for every architecture, so I'll point the default load location for pkg_radd to them within the next 24 hours.
- Are you still using a DragonFly system older than 2.4 and downloading binaries? If so, tell me.
- A project: enhancing pkg_search and pkg_radd to be able to tell when a package is missing because of license restrictions. Anyone want to try it?
Apache options change in pkgsrc
If you use Apache, as many people do, some of the default building choices have changed in pkgsrc. Read Matthias Scheler's post for details.
What does DESTDIR mean?
I've made reference to DESTDIR for pkgsrc several times, with only an informal understanding of what it means. From what I've learned, and what Joerg Sonnenberger's told me, DESTDIR support means that packages can be built from pkgsrc without needing to be root. This means local packages can be built on an ordinary user account using pkgsrc.
This also means that pkgsrc can build packages before each upgrade, and only upgrade if a binary package can be built for each item involved. This means minimal downtime and no failures during upgrades, the biggest bugaboo for using pkgsrc that I've encountered.
Binary pkgsrc build status
I posted a note about where the 2010Q1 builds are for pkgsrc; if you're on i386/2.6 right now, you can try it out.
pkgsrc-2010Q1 is out
The newest branch of pkgsrc for 2010 is officially out – read the release announcement for details on what's updated. Among other things, DESTDIR support is almost complete, and a shift to default KDE4 is underway.
I'm working on bulk builds already, so hopefully soon you'll be able to pkg_radd 2010Q1 packages…
Talks at pkgsrcCon 2010 – submit now
Do you want to give a talk at pkgsrcCon 2010 in Basel, Switzerland, May 28-30? Make sure to mail in the details.
pkgsrcCon 2010 coming up
pkgsrcCon is happening May 28th-30th in Basel, Switzerland. The event web page has note on location and hotel information. (thanks, S.P.Zeidler)
cvsup gone, finally
YONETANI Tomokazu has eliminated cvsup, replacing it with net/csup from pkgsrc. The README notes that the pkgsrc package devel/cvsync is another alternative if you need to retrieve the repository and not just the checked out files..
Statistics on binary pkgsrc use
Based on a comment from John Merino on this very Digest, I managed to assemble some statistics on binary pkgsrc package use. See my full post for the details, including some analysis.
Messylaneous for 03/24/2010
In an effort to catch up…
- Matthew Dillon made a change to how material in memory is paged out; it may improve things depending on how much paging your system already does.
- The AsiaBSDCon OpenBSD papers are online, with mention of video of the presentations.
- Use keys for your SSH login, cause this will only get worse.
- Ten Shell One-liners. The first one, using your favorite editor on the command line, is one of those things I knew about, but didn't know to do. (caveat: some Linuxisms)
- Want to test a big xorg update for pkgsrc? Of course you do.
Easy reading for what's broke
Every time a bulk build of pkgsrc packages is completed, a report is uploaded listing what built and what didn't. Since there's so many reports from the now-automated build, I've sorted it by architecture and release, to make lookups faster.
This is handy if you're looking to fix pkgsrc apps on DragonFly, and you need a target. It's also a good way to see if a desired module exists as a binary.
Interested in pkgsrc? DragonFly?
We actively need more people to do the small but plentiful fixes to make sure as many pkgsrc packages work as possible. Are you interested? Speak up.
PHP change in pkgsrc
PHP version 5.3 has some differences from previous versions, so there's now a lang/php53 port. Use this if you want to upgrade right away, or stick with lang/php if you want to play it safe.
BIND goes byebye?
Jan Lentfer has accomplished something rather dramatic: the removal of BIND from the base system. It's not actually out yet, but I daresay it will be after the 2.6 release, freeing people up to install any DNS server from pkgsrc – including BIND.
pkgsrc-2010Q1 freeze soon
The 'freeze' for pkgsrc-2010Q1 is scheduled to start March 16th, which will be right around the same time of the DragonFly 2.6 release. The freeze lasts 2 weeks, usually, so new packages for 2.6 will be built probably about mid-April, based on this info…
(b)make install change in pkgsrc
Joerg Sonnenberger announced new behavior in pkgsrc: Performing "bmake install" in pkgsrc with a package that supports DESTDIR will build a binary package and then install from that package. This means a package will be successfully build before the installation process is started, and I assume is to assist further work down the road.
Details: The old behavior was to build and install directly, which "bmake stage-install" can reproduce. DESTDIR support means that the software can be installed as non-root.
Binary package updates
Messylaneous for 2010/02/16
It's like someone turned on the activity faucet; there's so much to post about lately!
- PkgsrcCon 2010 is May 28th to 30th, in Basel. The date's been declared, but not much else – yet.
- Chunks of KDE in pkgsrc are now updating to the KDE4 versions by default. This only affects pkgsrc-current users, not pkgsrc-2009Q4.
- An interesting story about computer manufactuing and MicroSD problems.
- In Praise of Online Obscurity – this article makes me think of communities like DragonFly and the other BSDs. In essence, growth causes smaller independent groups to form out of a larger membership, because a social group can only be maintained to a certain size. Perhaps this is why FreeBSD's evolved a core group, or other groups form, like Wikipedia 'editors'. (via) I'm catering to my own interests in group dynamics here.
- Jan Lentfer's brought in his hostapd and wpa_supplicant work, mentioned previously.
Default PostgreSQL and Python changes
Postgres will be 8.4, and Python 2.6, as default installs from pkgsrc. This affects anyone following pkgsrc-current, but if you are using pkgsrc-2009Q4, it won't matter for a few months yet.
Hackathon also for pkgsrc, Feb 19-22
Seen via email and Hubert Feyrer's blog: There's a NetBSD hackathon planned for February 19th through the 22nd. The meetup is via IRC. Since it's NetBSD, it'll include pkgsrc, and if it includes pkgsrc, it affects DragonFly. If you're interested, show up – even being there to report on packages that compile or don't (on DragonFly) would help.
x86_64/DragonFly 2.5.1/pkgsrc-2009Q4 ready too
The packages from a bulk build of pkgsrc-2009Q4, on DragonFly 2.5.1 for x86_64 have all been uploaded to avalon.dragonflybsd.org. Go ahead and upgrade using pkg_radd if you've got the right hardware for it.
pkgsrc-2009Q4 release announcement
It's been available to build for some time, but the official announcement for pkgsrc-2009Q4 is out. It's worth reading to see what new packages pushed it over the 9,000 mark.
Packages for 2.5/i386 available
A fresh set of pkgsrc-2009Q4 packages for DragonFly 2.5.x/i386 are ready, and already available on avalon.dragonflybsd.org. pkg_radd will fetch them.
Things that are done
There's a number of things that all came together in the last 24 hours or so, which means: bullet points!
- Jen Lentfer took my suggestion and ran with it. He's got an update to Sendmail 8.14.4 on the way too.
- Binary pkgsrc-2009Q4 packages for DragonFly 2.4.x/i386 are all uploaded.
- I finished a build of pkgsrc-2009Q4 for DragonFly 2.5.x/x86_64 – take a look and fix some of the broken items, if that interests you.
- Weekend reading: check out this Trivium post as there's some interesting historical items. I may try that LackRack idea in a environment that doesn't fit a normal rack well…
pkgsrc-2009Q4 binaries almost ready
A build of pkgsrc-2009Q4 for DragonFly 2.4/i386 is complete, and uploading now to avalon.dragonflybsd.org. When the upload's done, I'll change the symlink so that pkg_radd downloads from the new collection. Builds for x86_64 and 2.5 will be done soon.
There's a couple packages – lang/mono, devel/boost-libs – that can be fixed with some updates; I'll do so next chance I get.
A project: security checks for pkgsrc
It's been possible for some time to automatically check for vulnerabilities in installed pkgsrc packages. However, it requires some initial setup work. NetBSD now will check automatically if there's any packages installed. The same feature could work in DragonFly – I have a post about that even links to the appropriate changes. Someone want to take this on?
More pkgsrc chopping
Joerg Sonnenberger's planning to remove more old pkgsrc packages. This includes some packages like php4, which is common and also should die. There's discussion that can be followed from the post for some details.
pkgsrc: it's over 9,000!
I started building the pkgsrc-2009Q4 packages on several machines tonight, and I noticed something. The previous quarterly release, pkgsrc-2009Q3, had 8,969 packages. This release has 9,100. That's right – OVER 9,000!
Messylaneous for 2010/01/15
Still not used to typing "2010".
- I have no idea if bup is a worthwhile backup tool or even if it would compile on DragonFly, but more products should be described this way. (via)
- I've seen plenty of articles along the lines of "Open Source and X", where the article explains at great length how open source in certain situations can work well. "Doing It Wrong" comes at it from a different direction.
- BSD Magaine is going free, meaning it's a free download starting with the February issue. The site says "sign up for our newsletter and get every issue straight to your inbox" – the correct link is "Newsletter" on the upper right corner of the page. PDFs of the print issues are available too.
- The Open Source Business Resource is now publishing weekly articles in addition to their monthly issue. The inaugural article is "Avatar, Open Source and Humanity 2.0" by Stephen Huddart, and the second is "Do, Delegate, Defer" by the wonderfully-named Emma Jane Hogbin.
- Why you should use OpenGL and not DirectX: linked many places. It's a good argument, which reminds me… anyone want to work on DRM for DragonFly? It could use some loving.
- A Python script that takes your picture and uploads it every time a merge (in Mercurial) fails. Someone make this work for Git, please. (via)
- Speaking of Git, here's a way to get auto-complete of git commands and local/remote branches in bash.
- The latest @Play covers the new, developing roguelike Dungeon Crawl, part 1 of many. It's listed as running on "all the BSDs", though I don't see it in pkgsrc. It is playable via telnet to other servers, though.
pkgsrc-2009Q4 branched
There isn't an official release announcement as of this moment, but the next quarterly release of pkgsrc is out. This is 2009Q4, meaning development happened in the 4th quarter of 2009. I'll start binary package builds for DragonFly tonight…

There's room for both clinical and creature comforts at The Skin Bar. Kristi Sims, the licensed aesthetician and owner, blends the two in her results-oriented approach to skin care. For example, she adds a massage to her facials, or a calming mask, in order to relax the spirits while cleansing and nourishing complexions. When it comes to skin-care tech, she deploys peels and microdermabrasions to combat imperfections such as wrinkles or acne. Her menu also features waxing and tinting. To build a well-rounded team, The Skin Bar's staff includes a licensed massage therapist. The LMT delivers massages that can help folks recover from the aches that come with hunching over a computer or the stress of trying to sharpen a pencil in a USB port.
The color blue commonly evokes feelings of serenity and calm, so it is only fitting that blue hues are scattered about Shear Impressions Salon. Turquoise wall hangings and cerulean seat cushions pop against slate-gray walls, drawing visitors in and inviting them to relax during a skin-smoothing facial or soothing pedicure. Meanwhile, men's and women's haircuts leave 'dos neatened with help from high-end Matrix products, while color treatments help cover grays and impart sun-kissed streaks.
Helmed by holistic-health enthusiasts Dr. Garrett Roy and his wife, Nina, Complete Transformations Clinic & Spa endeavors to unveil smoother, more evenly toned complexions during gentle microdermabrasion treatments. During each 30-minute microdermabrasion session, an aesthetician buffs away skin's rough, redundant layers to reveal visages filled with more youthful glow than a phosphorescent bassinet. Whether Groupon-holders choose one epidermis-polishing treatment or a trio, visages receive the shellacking they crave as Complete Transformations' stable of skin savants works diligently to help to banish wrinkles, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and week-old mustard stains.
Soft pale-blue walls greet guests as they settle into Complete Transformations Clinic & Spa's waiting area, the relaxing aura further enhanced by warm lighting and cheerful cherry blossoms. The same sense of calm rolls over into each private treatment room, where the spa's skin, massage, and nutrition-counseling services take place.

Tahiti?s massage therapists also work kinks out of backs using traditional modalities, hot stones, and automated hydromassage beds as they knead away stress.
