[OS X] Unleash your inner console cowboy

2 weeks has passed since the first video on DiscoverBSD talks, so it's about time for the new one.

Last time we were watching Early days of Unix and design of sh presented by Stephen R. Bourne at BSDCan 2015 so when I found presentation called Unleash your inner console cowboy, I was quite happy that we can continue in similar topic.

So second video of 2016 is:

Unleash your inner console cowboy presented by Kenneth Geisshirt at Øredev 2015

This talk will go through how to use the command-line/terminal/shell efficiently (key bindings, pipes, redirection, etc.), and general patterns and pitfall in shell scripting will be discussed (checking if a file exists, looping, etc.). To feel the real power of OS X, knowing how to write shell scripts is essential.

I hope that you will join me in discussion.

July–September, 2014 Status Report

The July–September, 2014 Status Report is now available.

This report covers FreeBSD-related projects between July and September 2014. This is the third of four reports planned for 2014.
The third quarter of 2014 was another productive quarter for the FreeBSD project. A lot of work has been done on various ARM platforms, with the goal of bringing them to Tier 1 status in FreeBSD 11. The various ports teams have also worked hard to improve the state of FreeBSD as a desktop operating system. As usual, performance improvements feature in several places in this report and many of these can benefit from user benchmarking to validate our results.

faster pf

As I’ve written elsewhere, we are starting to focus on performance in pfSense 2.2 and beyond. The first project was to implement AES-GCM with AES-NI acceleration (on CPUs that support it) for IPSec. This project was accomplished in partnership between the FreeBSD Foundation, ESF, and Netgate, and has been stable in pfSense 2.2 snapshots for several weeks.

pfSense 2.2 enters BETA

The 2.2 release has now reached the beta milestone. This means the release is feature complete, a comprehensive list of new features and changes can be found here, and should stay relatively stable throughout the remainder of the development process. That’s not to say it’s production ready though, our developers are using it in production and have been for months, but unless you have a solid understanding of the underlying system and can manually verify the configuration, 2.2 is not yet for you (young padawan).

pkg(8) is now the only package management tool

The ports tree has been modified to only support pkg(8) as package management system for all supported version of FreeBSD.
if you were still using pkg_install (pkg_* tools) you will have to upgrade your system.
The simplest way is

cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg
make install

then run

pkg2ng

You will have lots of warning, don’t be scared, they are expected, pkg_* databases used to get easily mangled. pkg2ng is most of the time able to deal
with it.
If however you encounter a problem then please report to pkg@FreeBSD.org
A tag has been applied to the ports tree if you need to get the latest ports tree before the EOL of pkg_install:

https://svn.FreeBSD.org/ports/tags/PKG_INSTALL_EOL

A branch has been created if some committers want to provides updates on the for pkg_install users:

https://svn.FreeBSD.org/ports/branches/pkg_install

Please note that this branch is not officially maintained and that we strongly recommend that you do migrate to pkg(8)

DragonfFly: Full rebuild needed

Because of some structure changes made by Matthew Dillon while chasing a pf bug, you will need to do a full buildworld/buildkernel on your next update – if you are running DragonFly-master. 3.8 users are unaffected by the bug or the change.
