NEWBERRY, S.C. – Four Coker players scored in double figures, with junior Sharod Williams (Miami, Fla.) leading the way in the Cobra men's basketball team's 92-88 loss to Newberry College Tuesday night. The loss snaps Coker's four-game winning streak, moving the Cobras to 6-3 as they close out the 2011 calendar year.
Coker got off to a slow start scoring just 34 points in the first half, but had a 54-point outpouring in the second half. However, a tough Newberry defense was more than the Cobra offense could overcome.
The Cobras will now break for the holidays. They will return to the floor in 2012 when they travel to Mount Olive College for their first Conference Carolinas game of the season on Tuesday, Jan. 3. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

I also had found several newspaper listings from 1958 and 1959 that advertise Elvis' Christmas Album. I have pictures of those pages and closeups as well as the Newspaper names.

In other words, the original photo had Elvis standing in front of blue curtains, but was subsequently superimposed on the snow covered hills for the covers of both LPM 1951 and EPA 4340.
If so, neither LPM 1951 nor EPA 4340 could have been released in 1958.

ATLANTA — Drew Brees stood in front of his locker, brown leather bag in front of him neatly packed, suit jacket crisply falling off his shoulders.
ATLANTA — Drew Brees stood in front of his locker, brown leather bag in front of him neatly packed, suit jacket crisply falling off his shoulders.
But his post-game getup belied what had just transpired on the Georgia Dome playing surface.
Simply put, Brees, the $100 million man, has been the sloppiest of players wearing the Saints helmet.
In the past six quarters, the player the Saints almost certainly knew they could rely on in spite of everything else might be the one to have taken the Saints out of the playoffs.
And he knows it.
"I pride myself on being a great decision-maker and a guy that's going to help us win and not be a detriment by turning the ball over like that," Brees said.
The five interceptions against the Falcons in New Orleans' 23-13 loss don't even begin to explain how the one-time Super Bowl MVP has cracked recently.
No, the single-most incomprehensible series that explains just how far Brees has fallen happened with less than two minutes to play in the first half.
With no timeouts remaining and 71 yards of field to traverse, few would have believed that Brees, of all people, wouldn't be able to manage.
He did, of course, peppering the Falcons' secondary with a 29-yard pass to Lance Moore, a 21-yard pass to Marques Colston and a 14-yard pass to Darren Sproles.
In fact, he even hit Sproles for what appeared to be a seven-yard touchdown pass, but tight end Jimmy Graham was called for pass interference and, with 45 seconds to play, Brees again went to Sproles, who traveled 12 yards to the Atlanta 5.
But then were only 12 seconds left and no timeouts. Of course Brees would realize the situation, understand that the middle of the field was off limits and that, at the very least, a field goal was follow.
Only, Brees threw to the middle, hoping Sproles could make a move and get into the end zone. By the time he spiked the ball, no time remained on the clock. Instead of at least a seven-point halftime deficit, the Saints were down by 10.
They'd never recover.
"That's my mistake," Brees said. "That can't happen. Should have gotten points, at least three, and definitely another shot at the end zone. That was on me. That can't happen."
What makes Brees' past two weeks so disconcerting and so unimaginable is that it has been so unlike him. He has seven interceptions in the past seven quarters. Two were returned for touchdowns and two were turned into 10 more points.
Superman appears to be human.
"Yes, we all are," Saints guard Jahri Evans said, a smile greeting what seems like a ludicrous question. "That's the thing. When you're doing something great for so long – for seven years he has always been on top – eventually some things catch up. Right now he's in a little slide but it's all good. He'll get it corrected."
We shouldn't be surprised because, in reality. Everything that could go wrong seemingly has, in fact, gone wrong this season.
From the preseason injuries at linebacker to the awkward switching of coaches to the 0-4 start to the head-scratching home to Kansas City and to the endless injuries at right tackle, the Saints have been battling against everything.
Thursday was just everything condensed into 60 minutes.
"I hate to say that this game was a microcosm of our season but it kind of seems to be," receiver Lance Moore said. "Just a bunch of lost opportunities and they've bitten us in the butt."
Yet, that's where Brees is supposed to step in and be, well, Brees. In a way, he did afterwards, taking credit for the losses that are suddenly mounting.
Evans still believes Brees is the best quarterback in the league. Thursday night wasn't hard for him to watch. Not knowing who Brees is.
"That's not the hard thing because you know he's going to bounce back because he just puts too much time in not too," Evans said. "You are what you put into it and I don't know anybody that's puts more time in than he does."
That's why it's eventually going to be OK. Maybe not next week and maybe not the rest of this season. But eventually.
And then his postgame suit will once again match his on-field play — crisp, clean and leading-man worthy.

CRYSTAL LAKE – Commercial property foreclosures continue to increase, but the market in McHenry County could bounce back in 2011, local experts say.
"I'm not sure we've hit bottom yet, but I'm cautiously optimistic about a rebound next year," said Jack Minero, a commercial real-estate agent with Prudential First Realty in Crystal Lake.
McHenry County has seen several high-profile commercial foreclosure filings in recent years. The unfinished Riverside Square building, dubbed the "Tyvek Tower" at the corner of Routes 31 and 62 in Algonquin, is perhaps the most visible. But there have been many others.
Woodstock Station, a downtown redevelopment property, went into foreclosure and was bought by Barrington Bank for $1.25 million at a public auction in 2009.
A foreclosure notice was filed against the company behind the 644-home Tall Grass subdivision planned for Prairie Grove in 2008.
In late 2009, the private Turnberry Country Club in Lakewood went into foreclosure.
And Harris Bank filed a mortgage foreclosure on Galt Airport in Greenwood in February.
With plenty of vacant retail space, and fewer tenants paying rent, prices for commercial properties have dropped dramatically. Foreclosures followed.
"There has been a 30 [percent] to 40 percent erosion of value in the last two years," said Bruce Kaplan, a broker with Premier Commercial Realty in Lake in the Hills. "Property owners have seen equity evaporate before their eyes."
That has led some banks to request additional capital from property owners before refinancing mortgages.
Commercial loans have relatively short terms and must be renewed every three to five years. A renewal often means a reappraisal, and if the loan-to-value ratio has changed, lenders might ask for more collateral.
"A lot of people walk away if they don't have the cash," Kaplan said.
Although there isn't a reliable way to track commercial foreclosures, several real-estate agents told the Northwest Herald that they believe the numbers were up in 2010.
Overall, foreclosure filings for all types of property increased in 2010. As of November, there had been 3,362 filings in McHenry County. That is compared with 2,436 filings during the same period in 2009, according to the latest statistics from the McHenry County Circuit Clerk's Office.
Prices have declined across the board, Minero said.
"Everybody has been hit," he said. "I don't think anyone has been immune."
He used a deal involving a 10,000-square-foot space as an example. The property would have fetched $16 a square foot a few years ago, but recently was leased for a six-month term at $4 a square foot.
"It's better to have some money coming in than an empty building," Minero said.
Making matters worse, buyers are scarce and banks have tightened lending requirements.
"More and more owners are giving property back to the bank as it becomes obvious they aren't going to get tenants," Kaplan said. "It's impossible to make payments without income."
Kaplan expects to see more foreclosures, at least in the near term.
Saying what's next for the commercial market isn't easy, said Wayne Kurchina, broker and owner of IL Realty in Fox Lake.
"It's hard to predict if there will be more foreclosures," he said. "Some banks are trying to work out deals with owners to prevent foreclosure, but banks can only carry that bad debt on the books for so long."
Even so, there are some positive signs in the real estate market.
"Forecasters see a light at the end of the tunnel," Kurchina said. "After three years, they feel the retail real-estate sector is set to recover in 2011."
A Happy New Year?
Local experts optimistic despite more retail, commercial properties facing foreclosure in 2011
CRYSTAL LAKE – Commercial property foreclosures continue to increase, but the market in McHenry County could bounce back in 2011, local experts say.

Mass Effect 3 may be the end of the trilogy, but don't expect BioWare to be done with Shepard's story when the game hits retail on March 6th. In addition to the promised multiplayer DLC, BioWare's Casey Hudson has confirmed that single-player DLC is also in the works.
"We're also planning some DLC on the single-player side, because it did really good in Mass Effect 2," Hudson explained. "The adventure-type DLC will happen in the time frame of Mass Effect 3, within your Mass Effect 3 storyline."
"There's a reason why we can add stories to what's there," Hudson explained to Game Informer. "It's similar to how with Mass Effect 2, if you had a saved game from anywhere inside the game, you could go on to the DLC. We have a pretty neat concept for how it's going to work."
Mass Effect 2 featured a number of downloadable expansions that could be accessed any time during the campaign, including The Price of Revenge, Stolen Memory, and Overlord. However, Lair of the Shadow Broker could only be accessed after a certain point in the story, and Arrival was considered an epilogue to set up the events of Mass Effect 3.
Mass Effect 3 will be available on March 6th on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. The Collector's Edition will offer a bonus character and mission, which should give fans a taste of DLC to come.

The lights are on
The official Game Informer Red Dead Redemption group.
What are everyones impressions of the new co-op pack? I like the majority of the missions, wish they didn't bring back herding cattle from the single player, didn't like it then and don't like it now. The Escape and the gold mine might be my favorites. And hey you can't go wrong when they give you something for free. .
i like them my favorite at the moment is The River even though i havent gotten past the farry because my sqaudys keep killing me on the raft.
I'm pretty happy with it. After the initial hiccup, I've actually had less issues with party members losing connection in the co-op mode than with the team game modes (though that may have been addressed to some degree as well).
I like most of the missions, though some seem like they'd be better with fewer-on the raft quest for instance I can never get many kills before the get snagged on the river.
The herding quest isn't so bad, other than the fact that your herd tends to get shredded between the last checkpoint and the endpoint.
Anyway, I like that they all reward good xp. I figured that this mode's imminent arrival was part of the reason they borked the xp for the gang hideouts.
ya they are giving me over 1 k a hideout and since if you have a mic people will listen to you and actuly work as a team unlike in gang matches it really works well if you mic runs out of batterys your focked though....any way as any one succesfuly completed them all yet?
I still need to complete the one in the Goldmine, almost got it with my friends on the first run but the random guy in our party had no mic and apparently wasn't into rezing teammates.
Anyway, like anything, I'd much rather play this mode with friends than randoms; for one thing, so far, none of the randoms I've played with have had headsets on- though most of them are aware enough to rez people.
my favorites are Walton's Gold and Kidnapped Girl (aka the only coop missions I can finish in Advanced mode). I don't like that Cattle herding one though, finished that one on coop too but had only 6 left, on the regular one I had all alive
I just finished a session of all 6 a couple days ago, it was great fun. Played the first 5 with my brother in group, and got gold no problem. Then he took off and I was put with 3 jerks for the kidnapped girl... they left me behind when they all got in the coach, then got massacred at the bridge... lulz
similar thing happend to me except on the fairy... 3 other guys slowly push me to the edge when i was getting a soda... then when the raft hit the shore i fell into the water... then they jumped out and died really easy since i was the only solider.
They're pretty great. Especially when you unlock advanced, more challenging. They can get somewhat repetitive after a while, though. Maybe a second co-op map pack in the future? :3
@deltadawgs - WAT???
just hello... no one seems to be talking in ANY of the groups.
Even Halo? I'm not a member, but I imagine that one is pretty active at the moment. The communities around here tend to jump from release to release.
thats true, i hope teh Civilization group starts up again at civ 5 release.

Athena Diagnostics can now analyze five genes for mutations that cause familial ALS
A new test panel that can detect "up to 35 percent" of the genetic flaws that can cause familial (inherited) ALS has been announced by Athena Diagnostics of Worcester, Mass.
Athena is a commercial laboratory specializing in DNA testing for neurological disorders.
Familial ALS accounts for some 10 percent of all ALS cases. (ALS cases that arise without a known family history are called "sporadic.") The new DNA-based test panel analyzes blood cells for ALS-causing mutations in four recently identified ALS-causing genes, in addition to the previously available test for mutations in the SOD1 gene. Athena estimates the test panel detects up to 35 percent of genetic flaws associated with familial ALS.
The four new tests are for mutations in the FUS gene, TDP43 gene (also known as the TARDBP gene), angiogenin gene and FIG4 gene. Each test, except the FIG4 test, also can be performed individually.
A blood sample, which can be drawn locally and shipped to Athena, is required. For details, contact Athena at (800) 394-4493 or through the company's Web site.
For more on available genetic testing for ALS and other diseases, see Gene Tests, a Web site funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health.
Genetic test costs range from hundreds to thousands of dollars, but some insurance policies cover a portion of the cost.

Campaign Rio launches
23 October 2013
RIO 2016: The Australian Institute of Sport (AIS), the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) and the Australian Paralympic Committee (APC) today launched a partnership aimed at ensuring Australian athletes had the best possible planning and preparation ahead of the Rio Games.
A key initiative of Campaign Rio, which will be run by a group consisting of executives from the three organisations, will be to hold two high performance management forums each year.
ASC Chair John Wylie AM said the forums, one of which is being run at the AIS over the next two days, are a chance for sports to share information and be provided with updates on any issues the Australian teams may need to address in Rio.
"The primary purpose of Campaign Rio is to ensure that the Australian team for the 2016 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games is nest planned, best prepared and best performed," he said.
"In line with the targets set out in Australia's Winning Edge, Australia will be striving for a top five finish in both the Olympics and Paralympics in 2016 and Campaign Rio is an important cog in giving our athletes the best possible chance to perform."
AOC President John Coates AC said Campaign Rio would ensure there were no surprises come 2016.
"This partnership will address key issues raised following the London Games and will provide learning, development and knowledge sharing opportunities for all sports," Coates said.
"Campaign Rio will strive to ensure performance and personal excellence of Australian athletes at the Games and address specific issues the team will face in Rio."
APC President Greg Hartung AO welcomed such a unified approach to Rio saying it would benefit all Australian athletes.
"This initiative has the potential to provide a sound preparation for athletes, coaches, performance directors and support staff," he said.
"It is important we all remain focussed on working collaboratively and sharing knowledge with all partners to ensure the greatest possible outcome in Rio."

Muskingum stats I Capital stats
ADA, Ohio - The Bluffton University volleyball team opened up the weekend at the OAC/HCAC Challence with victories over Capital and Muskingum, pushing the Beavers to 8-7 on the season.
The Beavers swept the Muskies 3-0 to start the day (25-19, 25-19, 25-20) and snap a six-match losing skid. During the match against Muskingum, senior Jenna Esleman (Landisville, Penn./Hempfield) pounded career kill 1,000. The Beaver offense was run by sophomore Kyleigh Whitsel (Sheffield Lake/Brookside) who tallied 35 assists. The hitters were led by senior outside Nicole Wood (Tiffin/Hopewell-Loudon) with 11 kills, Eshleman with nine kills, junior Brooke Distel (Carey) with seven kills and senior middle Courtney Zimmerman (Leesburg/Fairfield) with six kills.
Defensively, the Beavers were paced by junior Heather Schierer (Crescent Springs, Ky./St. Henry) with 22 digs, followed by seniors Eshleman and Wood with 11 and 10, respectively.

-## History and Overview
-Pkgsrc (http://www.pkgsrc.org) is a packaging system that was originally created by NetBSD (http://www.netbsd.org). It has also been ported to DragonFly, and many of the applications that are currently supported by pkgsrc are in the process of being built.
+# Disclaimer
Pkgsrc is very alike to FreeBSD's ports mechanism, which was in use under NetBSD before pkgsrc, and is also used in OpenBSD and MirBSD
DragonFly, up to and including version 3.4, used pkgsrc to manage third party software packages. DragonFly switched to dports at the 3.6 release
-## Installing pkgsrc
+This page is still useful for anyone wanting to use pkgsrc, but the recommended packaging method is dports, which is covered in a similar document here:
-In order for pkgsrc to be able to install applications, it must first be "bootstrapped" on the machine it is to run. This is basically equivalent to building the applications it requires to use. Since the 1.4 release, a
-binary bootstrap is provided with the system. However, you still need to download the pkgsrc tree if you
-want to build any applications. This can be done in one of two ways: through NetBSD's anonymous CVS access; or by downloading the pkgsrc tarball, which is updated weekly.
+## Most of this page is obsolete; the instructions do not work
-### Quick & Dirty Way
-As of the 1.10 release, you can use the UsrMakefile to checkout & update the pkgsrc tree quickly.
-as root:
+# pkgsrc on DragonFly
# cd /us
- # make pkgsrc-create
DragonFly uses a specially crafted Makefile in /usr and a git mirro
+of the official pkgsrc repository to make pkgsrc distribution more user-friendly.
-to fetch the intial pkgsrc repository from the net, or
+The basics of the pkgsrc system can be found in NetBSD's [Pkgsrc Guide](http://www.netbsd.org/docs/pkgsrc/), and can be considered the canonical resource.
- # cd /usr
- # make pkgsrc-update
-to update.
+[[!toc levels=3 ]]
-Please do edit the makefile to use an appropriately speedy CVS mirror for your location and to reduce
-load on the main pkgsrc cvs server.
+## Overview
-### 'Custom' Way
+### History
+[Pkgsrc](http://www.pkgsrc.org) is a packaging system that was originally created for NetBSD. It has been ported to DragonFly, along with other operating systems. Pkgsrc is very similar to FreeBSD's ports mechanism.
-In those cases where you wish to checkout pkgsrc manually, for example to track a specific pkgsrc branch,
-a custom checkout may be desired.
+### Overview
It is almost always faster for a first-time "whole source" checkout to FTP the tarballs and untar them locally because that makes best use of the network link. After that, using cvs checkout/update works to minimize the number of bytes coming over by sending only the changes
The pkgsrc collection supplies a collection of files designed to automate the process of compiling an application from source code. Remember that there are a number of steps you would normally carry out if you compiled a program yourself (downloading, unpacking, patching, compiling, installing). The files that make up a pkgsrc source collection contain all the necessary information to allow the system to do this for you. You run a handful of simple commands and the source code for the application is automatically downloaded, extracted, patched, compiled, and installed for you. In fact, the pkgsrc source subsystem can also be used to generate packages which can later be manipulated with `pkg_add` and the other package management commands that will be introduced shortly
-The commands to fetch and install the tarball:
+Pkgsrc understands ***dependencies***. Suppose you want to install an application that depends on a specific library being installed. Both the application and the library have been made available through the pkgsrc collection. If you use the `pkg_add` command or the pkgsrc subsystem to add the application, both will notice that the library has not been installed, and automatically install the library first. You might be wondering why pkgsrc® bothers with both. Binary packages and the source tree both have their own strengths, and which one you use will depend on your own preference.
- # fetch -o /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc.tar.gz
- # cd /usr; tar -xzf /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz; chown -R root:wheel pkgsrc
+ **Binary Package Benefits**
+* A compressed package tarball is typically smaller than the compressed tarball containing the source code for the application.
-The commands to install via CVS:
+* Packages do not require any additional compilation. For large applications, such as ***Mozilla***, ***KDE***, or ***GNOME*** this can be important, particularly if you are on a slow system.
- # cd /usr
- # cvs -d email@example.com:/cvsroot co pkgsrc
+* Packages do not require any understanding of the process involved in compiling software on DragonFly.
-*Note*, you will have to be root in order for this to work.
-Please check [NetBSD anoncvs mirrors](http://www.netbsd.org/mirrors/#anoncvs) for faster server.
+**Pkgsrc source Benefits**
-Either of these command sets will download the pkgsrc source tree to your local machine into the /usr/pkgsrc directory.
-If you wish to perform your own bootstrap of pkgsrc (not needed since the 1.4 release), for example
-to customize some of the pkgsrc default settings, use the following commands:
+* Binary packages are normally compiled with conservative options, because they have to run on the maximum number of systems. By installing from the source, you can tweak the compilation options to (for example) generate code that is specific to a Pentium IV or Athlon processor.
- # cd /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap
- # ./bootstrap --pkgdbdir /var/db/pkg --prefix /usr/pkg
+* Some applications have compile time options relating to what they can and cannot do. For example, Apache can be configured with a wide variety of different built-in options. By building from the source you do not have to accept the default options, and can set them yourself. In some cases, multiple packages will exist for the same application to specify certain settings. For example, vim is available as a `vim` package and a `vim-gtk` package, depending on whether you have installed an X11 server. This sort of rough tweaking is possible with packages, but rapidly becomes impossible if an application has more than one or two different compile time options.
The directory you pass in for pkgdbdir will contain the list of applications you have installed on the system. The directory you supply to prefix is used as the root path for the applications you installed. The ports/packages of FreeBSD used a pkgdbdir of /var/db/pkg and a prefix of /usr/local. However, the ports system is deprecated for DragonFly and prebuilt packages will assume /var/db/pkg; so it is not recommended that the pkgdbdir be changed or that pkgsrc packages be used in combination with FreeBSD packages unless you really know what you are doing
* The licensing conditions of some software distributions forbid binary distribution. They must be distributed as source code
Note: The 1.4 errata http://www.dragonflybsd.org/community/errata1_4.cgi contains an example /etc/mk.conf file. It is recommend that you use that file instead of the ones generated by the following step on a 1.4 system
* Some people do not trust binary distributions. With source code, it is possible to check for any vulnerabilities built into the program before installing it to an otherwise secure system. Few people perform this much review, however
-After the bootstrapping tools have been built, there will be a sample mk.conf file based on your system settings. This should be copied to /usr/pkg/etc. The command for this is:
+* If you have local patches, you will need the source in order to apply them.
- # cp work/mk.conf.example /usr/pkg/etc/mk.conf
+* Some people like having code around, so they can read it if they get bored, hack it, debug crashes, borrow from it (license permitting, of course), and so on.
You are also strongly recommended to adjust the default path on your DragonFly machine to reflect the location of the bootstrapping tools. This is imperative as the program that makes/installs ports/packages from Free/DragonFly BSD are not compatible with pkgsrc (and vice-versa). To do this, you will need to add both /usr/pkg/bin and /usr/pkg/sbin to the front of your PATH environment variable. This is usually done by going to the line of your shell's startup configuration file and adding the appropriate directories to the front of the PATH line. It is also recommened that you adjust the appropriate files in /usr/share/skel/ so future users will also have to correct settings. After you have edited these files, you will need to get your shell to re-read the configurations. This is done by either calling source/export on the appropriate file, or by logging out and then back in
To keep track of pkgsrc releases subscribe to the [NetBSD pkgsrc users mailing list](http://www.netbsd.org/MailingLists/pkgsrc-users) and the [NetBSD pkgsrc users mailing list](http://www.netbsd.org/MailingLists/tech-pkgsrc). It's also useful to watch the [DragonFly User related mailing list](http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/mailarchive/) as errors with pkgsrc on DragonFly should be reported there
-Note: This path alteration step is still required on a 1.4_REL CD
+ **Warning:** Before installing any application, you should check http://www.pkgsrc.org/ for security issues related to your application.
-## Building packages
-Packages are built by going into the appropriate directory and issuing bmake install clean. For example, to build the screen package you need to issue the following commands.
+Audit-packages will automatically check all installed applications for known vulnerabilities, a check will be also performed before any application build. Meanwhile, you can use the command `audit-packages -d` after you have installed some packages.
- # cd /usr/pkgsrc/misc/screen
- # bmake install clean
+**Note:** Binary packages and source packages are effectively the same software and can be manipulated with the same pkg_* tools.
-The above bmake command will build the package with its default compile-time options. Before building a package it is wise to first find out what compile-time options that package supports. To do this, use this bmake command.
+## Installing pkgsrc
- # bmake show-options
+The basic pkgsrc tools are provided with every DragonFly system as part of installation. However, you still need to download the pkgsrc tree for building applications with these tools.
This will return back a message similar to the following..
Set GITHOST in /etc/make.conf or set it as an environment variable to select a different download location, if desired. See mirrors page for available mirrors
- Any of the following general options may be selected:
- option1
- option2 Option2 description
- option3 Option3 description
- These options are enabled by default:
- option1
- These options are currently enabled:
- option3
+This downloads the stable version of the pkgsrc tree from the default mirror, if you didn't set GITHOST. As root:
-If you are happy with the defaults, type bmake install clean. However, if you wish to make a change, you need to issue a make command similar to the following:
+ # cd /usr
+ # make pkgsrc-create
- # bmake PKG_OPTIONS.<package_name>="-option1 option2" install clean
+to fetch the initial pkgsrc repository from the net, or
-A minus sign '-' before an option removes that option from the compilation. To enable an option, you should list just the option name. <package_name> should be substituted with name of the package you are installing, 'screen' for this example.
+ # cd /usr
+ # make pkgsrc-update
-To add these to the /usr/pkg/etc/mk.conf (the file pkgsrc uses to track which options to enable during a build), you would insert a line similar to:
+to update.
- . PKG_OPTIONS.<package_name>=-option1 option2
- If you want to install and create binary packages (default location of built binary package is in /usr/pkgsrc/packages/All) which can then be later installed to another machine. issue the following commands.
- # cd /usr/pkgsrc/misc/screen
- # bmake package clean
+**Note**: If your DragonFly install is not up to date, you might have ended up with an old release of the pkgsrc tree.
-Packages are usually placed into an appropriate category. To find out where the package you are seeking to build is located, try this command:
+ # cd /usr/pkgsrc
+ # git branch
- # cd /usr/pkgsrc/
- # bmake search key='NameOfPackageYouWishToFind'
+will show what release you are on. See Tracking the stable branch for more information.
-## Pre-built pkgsrc packages
-The pkgsrc section of the download page (http://www.dragonflybsd.org/main/download.cgi) contains a list of sites providing binary packages.
+### Tracking the stable branch
-Binary packages can be installed either by using the full URL
+There are quarterly releases of pkgsrc that are specifically designed for stability. You should in general follow these, rather than the bleeding edge pkgsrc. When a new branch is out you need to set up a local branch tracking that one. 'make pkgsrc-update' will not do this for you.
- # pkg_add ftp://packages.stura.uni-rostock.de/pkgsrc-current/DragonFly/DEVELOPMENT/i386/All/xorg-6.8.2nb1.tgz
+To see the available remote branches:
+ # cd /usr/pkgsrc
+ # git pull
+ # git branch -r
-or by setting PKG_PATH (example for csh)
+To create a local branch, tracking the remote quarterly release:
- #
setenv PKG_PATH ftp://packages.stura.uni-rostock.de/pkgsrc-current/DragonFly/DEVELOPMENT/i386/All
- #
pkg_add xorg
+ #
cd /usr/pkgsrc
+ #
git branch pkgsrc-2010Q4 origin/pkgsrc-2010Q4
Also note that the version can be omitted, in which case the newest package will be chosen
Branch naming format is 'pkgsrc-YYYYQX', where YYYY is the year and QX is quarters 1-4 of the year. Check [pkgsrc.org](http://www.pkgsrc.org/) to see the name of the latest stable branch
-## Other pkgsrc commands
-This section will cover the commands in pkgsrc that will allow a user to perform the suggested action.
+After adding a new branch, it can be downloaded with:
-### Get latest list of packages
-To update the pkgsrc source hierarchy, you need to first change to the directory where you checked out the pkgsrc tree. Then, issue the command:
+ # cd /usr/pkgsrc
+ # git checkout pkgsrc-2010Q4
+ # git pull
- # cvs up -dP
+## Dealing with pkgsrc packages
is will instruct the CVS program to download the latest version of pkgsrc from NetBSD. This will also update all of pkgsrc's build skeleton files. If you installed the pkgsrc from the tarball, you will need to manually download and extract new version
e following section explains how to find, install and remove pkgsrc package
-There's also a RSS feed "NetBSD - Fresh Packages" available: http://www.netbsd.org/Changes/rss-netbsd-pkgs.xml
+### Finding Your Application
-### Tracking the stable branch
+Before you can install any applications you need to know what you want, and what the application is called. DragonFly's list of available applications is growing all the time. Fortunately, there are a number of ways to find what you want:
-If you don't want to go to the lastest, but get "actual" applications, you can track the stable branch. There are four releases per year; you can get the latest stable release from ["pkgsrc site"](http://www.pkgsrc.org) (www.pkgsrc.org), or you can update your pkgsrc directory:
+Since DragonFly 1.11 [pkg_search(1)](http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/cgi/web-man?command=pkg_search§ion1) is included in the base system. [pkg_search(1)](http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/cgi/web-man?command=pkg_search§ion=1) searches an already installed pkgsrc INDEX for for a given package name. If pkgsrc is not installed or the INDEX file is missing, it fetches the [pkg_summary(5)](http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/cgi/web-man?command=pkg_summary§ion=5) file.
- # cd /usr/pkgsrc
- # cvs up -rpkgsrc-200XQY -dPA
+ # pkg_search fvwm
+ fvwm-2.4.20nb1 Newer version of X11 Virtual window manager
+ fvwm-2.5.24 Development version of X11 Virtual window manager
+ fvwm-themes-0.6.2nb8 Configuration framework for fvwm2 with samples
+ fvwm-wharf-1.0nb1 Copy of AfterStep's Wharf compatible with fvwm2
+ fvwm1-1.24rnb1 Virtual window manager for X
-Where 'X' is the year and 'Y' is the revision, with a number from 1 to 4 (for example -rpkgsrc-2006Q2).
+ # pkg_search -v fvwm-2.5
+ Name : fvwm-2.5.24-50
+ Dir : wm/fvwm-devel
+ Desc : Development version of X11 Virtual window manager
+ URL : any
+ Deps : perl>#5.0 gettext-lib>0.14.5 [...]
-The stable branch will update the buggy applications, so update it frequently.
+Its also possible to issue the command
-More information in the official documentation: ["uptodate-cvs"](http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/pkgsrc/getting.html#uptodate-cvs) (www.netbsd.org/Documentation/pkgsrc/getting.html#uptodate-cvs)
+ # cd /usr/pkgsrc/
+ # bmake search key='package you are looking for'
-### List all installed packages
-To obtain a list of all the packages that are installed on your system, the user can perform the following command:
+from the `/usr/pkgsrc` directory.
- # pkg_info
+It's also possible to browse website that show all the available pkgsrc packages, such as [http://pkgsrc.se/](http://pkgsrc.se) .
-The output from pkg_info can also be piped to other commands such as more/less, and grep. The latter is useful to see which version of a particular package has been installed. For example:
+### Installing applications
- # pkg_info | grep xorg
+Downloading a binary package is almost always faster than building from source, but not all programs in pkgsrc can be redistributed as a binary. In most cases, you will want to download a binary package if possible, and otherwise build from source if it's not available.
-will return a list of all the xorg related packages installed on the system.
+The `bin-install` target on DragonFly (with pkgsrc from 2011/02/07 and later) will do just that:
-### Search available packages
-Packages can be found using one of two ways. You can issue the command
+ # cd /usr/pkgsrc/misc/screen
+ # bmake bin-install clean
- # bmake search key='package you are looking for'
+This will download and install the appropriate `screen` binary package if it exists, and try building from source if it can't complete the download.
-from the /usr/pkgsrc directory.
+### Installing applications, source only
-There is also the pkglocate tool that comes with pkgsrc. It is invoked in the following manner:
+Packages are built by going into the appropriate directory and issuing `bmake install clean`. For example, to build the *screen* package you need to issue the following commands.
- # /usr/pkgsrc/pkglocate 'package name'
+ # cd /usr/pkgsrc/misc/screen
+ # bmake install clean
-You can also utilize the UNIX file finding commands (whereis, locate, or find).
+To find out the options that can affect how a program is built:
-### Upgrade all Installed packages
+ # bmake show-options
-Note: Up to date information about this can be found in this web page: http://wiki.netbsd.se/index.php/How_to_upgrade_packages
+To change options:
-pkgsrc comes with a list of utilities that make package management easier. These files are located in /usr/pkgsrc/pkgtools. One of the items in this directory is pkg_chk which is similar to FreeBSD's portupgrade. Some commands that are worth noting while using pkg_chk are:
+ # bmake PKG_OPTIONS.<package_name>="-option1 option2" install clean
-Make initial list of installed packages:
+Listing an option enables it. Listing an option with a "-" before it disables the option.
- # pkg_chk -g
+To make these option changes permanent for every future build or upgrade of this package, put a similar line in `/usr/pkg/etc/mk.conf`:
-Remove all packages that are not up to date and packages that depend on them:
+ . PKG_OPTIONS.<package_name>=-option1 option2
+### Installing applications, binary only
- # pkg_chk -r
+Binary packages can be installed using *pkg_radd*:
-Install all missing packages (use binary packages, this is the default):
+ # pkg_radd screen
- # pkg_chk -a
+This program works by setting the `PKG_PATH` environment variable to the appropriate path for the operating system and architecture to a remote repository of binary packages, and then using *pkg_add* to get packages. This will install most packages, but will not upgrade packages that are already installed.
-Install all missing packages (build from source):
+You can manually set `BINPKG_BASE` and use *pkg_add* to get the same effect, using a different server.
- pkg_chk -as
+ # setenv BINPKG_BASE http://mirror-master.dragonflybsd.org/packages
+ # pkg_add screen
-If you want to see a list of upgradeable packages, you can use the lintpkgsrc tool. Install the package pkgtools/lintpkgsrc and do a:
- lintpkgsrc -i
+#### Issues with pre-built packages
-It will list the packages, which could be updated.
+* The default remote repository for binary packages tracks quarterly pkgsrc releases, so your local install of pkgsrc should be the same quarterly release.
+* Some packages are not licensed for distribution in binary form, so they may be able to build on DragonFly but won't be available with *pkg_radd*. If it fails, try going to that package's directory and install the package manually as described above.
+* If you upgrade to an new DEVELOPMENT version of DragonFly very early (i.e. shortly after the branch), it might be possible that *pkg_radd* fails to install packages. This is due the fact, that it takes some time to built binary packages and thus, there are no binary packages available on the mirrors yet. Usually you'll see an announcement on the lists once the first packages for DEVELOPMENT are ready.
-### Quick binary upgrades with pkgsrc
-A disadvantage of using pkg_chk is that it deletes old packages before upgrading to newer versions of those packages. If the upgrades need to be built from source, or downloaded, this makes the packaged software unavailable during the potentially long time of the upgrade.
+### List all installed applications
A solution is to download binary packages ahead of time and install from those local files, keeping downtime to a minimum. The steps to accomplish that with pkg_chk are as follows
To obtain a list of all the packages that are installed on your system
-This step creates the pkg_chk.conf file, which lists the packages installed on your system. This only needs to be run the first time this process is followed.
+ # pkg_info
- pkg_chk -P ftp://binary/url -abg
+To see if certain packages have been installed, filter for the name of the package. This example will show all *xorg*-related packages currently installed on the system:
-This command downloads all the binary packages needed to upgrade pkgsrc.
+ # pkg_info | grep xorg
- pkg_chk -P ftp://binary/url -abf
+### Removing packages
+If a program was installed as a package:
+ # pkg_delete packagename
+If a package was installed from the source files, you can also change to the directory they were installed from and issue the command:
+ # bmake deinstall
+Note that these methods are effectively interchangeable. Either will work whether the package was originally installed from source or binary.
+#### Remove associated files needed for building a package
+To remove the work file from building a package, and the package's dependencies:
-This final step removes old packages and installs the already-downloaded up-to-date versions. It is during this step that pkgsrc packages are unavailable.
+ # bmake clean clean-depends
+This can be combined with other steps:
+ # bmake install clean clean-depends
+## Upgrading packages
+There's a number of ways to upgrade pkgsrc; some of these are built in and some are packages installable with pkgsrc. This list is not necessarily comprehensive.
+### Update pkgsrc system packages
+**Note**: Sometimes basic pkgsrc tools; *bmake*, *pkg_install* and *bootstrap-mk-files* need to be upgraded. However, they can't be deleted and replaced since you need that tool to accomplish replacement. The solution is to build a separate package before deletion, and install that package.
+ # cd /usr/pkgsrc/devel/bmake
+ or
+ # cd /usr/pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkg_install
+ or
+ # cd /usr/pkgsrc/pkgtools/bootstrap-mk-files
- pkg_chk -P /wherever/previous/step/put/binaries -abu
+ # env USE_DESTDIR=yes bmake package
+ # bmake clean-depends clean
+And go to the packages directory and install the binary package with
-Note that ftp://binary/url represents the URL to an online binary pkgsrc repository, such as in the PKG_PATH example on this page.
+ # cd /usr/pkgsrc/packages/All
+ # pkg_add -u <pkg_name> (i.e. the name of the .tgz file).
-If the first command returns an error, try creating a blank file called 'Makefile' in the directory where these commands are run. 'touch Makefile' will create this empty file.
Deinstall a package
-The command pkg_delete will remove any package that has been previously installed on a system. If a package was installed from the source files, you can also change to the directory they were installed from and issue the command:
# bmake replace
+Performed in the `/usr/pkgsrc` directory that correlates with the installed package, the software is first built and then replaced.
- # bmake deinstall
+ # cd /usr/pkgsrc/chat/ircII
+ # bmake replace
-### Remove associated files needed for building a package
-To remove the temporary source/object files that are associated with a package, you can issue the bmake clean command. This can also be performed on the same stage as the installation by using the following make command bmake install clean. The latter is more commonly done for simplicity reasons.
+### pkg_rolling-replace
-## Additional mk.conf notes
+*pkg_rolling-replace* replaces packages one by one and you can use it for a better way of package management. Actually it does `bmake replace` on one package at a time, sorting the packages being replaced according to their interdependencies, which avoids most duplicate rebuilds. Once *pkg_rolling-replace* is installed you can update the packages through the following steps.
-The default location of mk.conf is /usr/pkg/etc
-To specify where the rc.d scripts from the installed packages should go:
+ # cd /usr && make pkgsrc-update
+ # pkg_rolling-replace -u
- RCD_SCRIPTS_DIR=/etc/rc.d
+### pkgin
-To enable the automatic installation of rc.d scripts into the $RCD_SCRIPTS_DIR directory:
+Downloads and installs binary packages. Check the [[mirrors]] page for sites carrying binary packages to use with pkgin. You can run the following commands to get the packages updated. This assumes that *pkgin* is already configured. Please consult the documentation and the man page on how to do so.
+ # pkgin update
+ # pkgin full-upgrade
-This option can be set in the environment to activate it for binary packages.
+### pkg_chk
f you have already partially downloaded a file, this option makes it resume the transfer:
t updates packages by removing them and rebuilding them. Warning: programs are unavailable until a rebuild finishes. If they don't rebuild, it won't work. *pkg_chk* requires a few steps in order to work correctly. They are listed here.
+ # pkg_chk -g # make initial list of installed packages
+ # pkg_chk -r # remove all packages that are not up to date and packages that depend on them
+ # pkg_chk -a # install all missing packages (use binary packages, this is the default)
+ # pkg_chk -as # install all missing packages (build from source)
-If the checksum is not correct, automatically download from the next download site:
+The above process removes all packages at once and installs the missing packages one by one. This can cause longer disruption of services when the removed package has to wait a long time for its turn to get installed.
+### pkg_add -u
-To enable suffixing work directories with the machine's hostname (needed for PKGSRC_LOCKTYPE):
+Point at a local or online binary archive location to download and update packages.
+### rpkgmanager
-To enable locking (so that only one process is working on the same package at the same time - sleep means that it should sleep for 5 seconds and try again (5 seconds is by default)):
- PKGSRC_LOCKTYPE=sleep
+This requires that you've set up rpkgmanager first. Read more about rpkgmanager [[here|docs/howtos/rpkgmanager/]].
-To enable sending of MESSAGE file upon installation of a package to a specific user:
+ # yes | rpkgmanager.rb
- PKGSRC_MESSAGE_RECIPIENTS=username
+## Start pkgsrc applications on system startup
To clean easly the dependencies after compiling
Packages often install rc.d scripts to control software running on startup. To specify where the rc.d scripts from the installed packages should go, add the following lines to your `/usr/pkg/etc/mk.conf` file
+ RCD_SCRIPTS_DIR=/etc/rc.d
-## Speed up compilation with ccache
-It is possible to speed up the recompilation of packages by using ccache.
-The first thing is to install ccache:
+This option can be set in the environment to activate it for binary packages. These packages will still have to be enabled in `/etc/rc.conf/` to run at boot. If these options aren't set, the rc file will be placed in `/usr/pkg/share/examples/rc.d/` and will need to be manually copied over to `/etc/rc.d`.
- # cd /usr/pkgsrc/devel/ccache && bmake install
+Many other options can be set in this file; see `/usr/pkgsrc/mk/defaults/mk.conf` for examples.
-To use it the PKGSRC_COMPILER option must be set in your mk.conf must be set:
+## Miscellaneous topics
- PKGSRC_COMPILER = ccache gcc # if you are using gcc
+### Post-installation Activities
-It's also a good idea to set a high enough size for your cache:
- # ccache -M 5G
+After installing a new application you will normally want to read any documentation it may have included, edit any configuration files that are required, ensure that the application starts at boot time (if it is a daemon), and so on.
+ The exact steps you need to take to configure each application will obviously be different. However, if you have just installed a new application and are wondering *What now?* These tips might help:
-More infomration can be found in [ccaches manual page](http://ccache.samba.org/ccache-man.html) and the [pkgsrc Guide](http://www.netbsd.org/docs/pkgsrc/configuring.html#selecting-the-compiler).
+Use [pkg_info(1)](http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/cgi/web-man?command=pkg_info§ion=1) to find out which files were installed, and where. For example, if you have just installed Foo_Package version 1.0.0, then this command
-## Where is my http://pkgsrc.se/wip dir?
-[[http://pkgsrc.se/wip]] shows some interessting ports, especially if you are into java, but you will not find them in your default pkgsrc dir. Take a look at [[http://pkgsrc-wip.sourceforge.net]], there is a description how to get and update.
+ # pkg_info -L foopackage-1.0.0 | less
-## Where to go for more help
+will show all the files installed by the package. Pay special attention to files in `man/` directories, which will be manual pages, `etc/` directories, which will be configuration files, and `doc/`, which will be more comprehensive documentation. If you are not sure which version of the application was just installed, a command like this
-* The NetBSD pkgsrc developers have a lot of pkgsrc documentation on this website (http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/pkgsrc/).
+ # pkg_info | grep -i foopackage
+will find all the installed packages that have *foopackage* in the package name. Replace *foopackage* in your command line as necessary.
-* To find packages or updates, look at http://www.pkgsrc.se.
+Once you have identified where the application's manual pages have been installed, review them using [man(1)](http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/cgi/web-man?command=man§ion=1). Similarly, look over the sample configuration files, and any additional documentation that may have been provided. If the application has a web site, check it for additional documentation, frequently asked questions, and so forth. If you are not sure of the web site address it may be listed in the output from
+ # pkg_info foopackage-1.0.0
* To query and/or report bugs against packages in pkgsrc, look at http://www.netbsd.org/support/send-pr.html category 'pkg'
A `WWW:` line, if present, should provide a URL for the application's web site
+### Dealing with Broken Packages
-* To get and update wip, look at http://pkgsrc-wip.sourceforge.net.
+If you come across a package that does not work for you, there are a few things you can do, including:
+ 1. Fix it! The [pkgsrc Guide](http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/pkgsrc/) includes detailed information on the ***pkgsrc®*** infrastructure so that you can fix the occasional broken package or even submit your own!
* This wiki has a list of some quick pkgsrc hacks to get the one or the other package building
1. Send email to the maintainer of the package first. Type `bmake maintainer` or read the `Makefile` to find the maintainer's email address. Remember to include the name and version of the port (send the `$NetBSD:` line from the `Makefile`) and the output leading up to the error when you email the maintainer. If you do not get a response from the maintainer, you can try [users](http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/mailarchive/)
+ 1. Grab a pre-built package from an [[mirror|mirrors]] site near you.
-* The pkgsrc IRC channel on Freenode (http://www.freenode.net) (#pkgsrc) is another resource for pkgsrc users and devleopers.
+### What is WIP?
+Packages that can be built within the pkgsrc framework but are not yet necessarily ready for production use can be found in [http://pkgsrc-wip.sourceforge.net](http://pkgsrc-wip.sourceforge.net). These packages need to be downloaded separately; check the website for details. Packages in this collection are in development and may not build successfully.
-* The DragonFlyBSD IRC channel on EFnet (http://www.efnet.org) (#dragonflybsd) is frequented by DragonFly users and developers using pkgsrc.

"Many years ago I was so innocent I still considered it possible that we could become the humane and reasonable America so many members of my generation used to dream of. We dreamed of such an America during the Great Depression, when there were no jobs. And then we fought and often died for that dream during the Second World War, when there was no peace.
"But I know now that there is not a chance in hell of America becoming humane and reasonable. Because power corrupts us, and absolute power corrupts us absolutely. Human beings are chimpanzees who get crazy drunk on power. By saying that our leaders are power-drunk chimpanzees, am I in danger of wrecking the morale of our soldiers fighting and dying in the Middle East? Their morale, like so many lifeless bodies, is already shot to pieces. They are being treated, as I never was, like toys a rich kid got for Christmas."
This quote is more fittting than ever now that the members of the U.S. Congress have just decided to cut the pensions of military retirees (even if retired for medical reasons) while, as always, increasing the overall "defense" budget (which returns to them in the form of campaign contributions from the global corporations of the military-industrial complex which own them).
It is always puzzling when the masses of the country cheer on wars, as they did a dozen years ago in a frenzy that lasted several years. We know from history that they almost invariably end badly for these same ordinary Americans who always volunteer in higher percentages than anyone for these empire-building adventures.
Actually, it is not even accurate to say the wars "end" anymore. They just morph into permanent occupations, justifying even more "defense" dollars from beleaguered U.S. taxpayers, most of whom have less wealth to "defend" than ever.
It is really strange to be watching a football game or something during the holiday season and then they cut to a military family stationed in God-knows-where wishing their family and friends back in the States a Merry Christmas.
In most countries, one would ask: "What is Uncle Dan doing in 'Lower Slobovia'?" (or wherever). Here we just think "well, obviously 'we' must have once invaded that country long ago, and now, for whatever reason (and it's best not to ask questions), can never leave."

It was a countdown to one of the most highly anticipated events in St. James.
The time: 6:30 a.m.
The date: March 1.
In frigid temperatures, with snow still on the ground, a large group of outdoorsmen awaited the opening shot, which marked the official beginning of the 2013 Missouri trout season at Maramec Spring Park.
St. James resident Gary Benson, who has been an avid fisherman and familiar face in St. James for more than 50 years, had the honor of firing the starting pistol. Benson also continues to support kids' fishing both as a volunteer and with donations of fishing supplies for their use. The St. James Chamber of Commerce and the James Foundation in their usual tradition will welcome fishermen to Maramec Spring Park at 6:30 a.m. with coffee and donuts to celebrate the beginning of the season.
St. James Mayor Dennis Wilson says improvements to the park include "water-quality monitoring and security of the pools," courtesy of the Missouri Department of Conservation.
"In preparation for the opening of the 2013 trout fishing season, the Department has also done considerable removal of natural aquatic debris through off-season dredging of portions of the Spring branch," the mayor wrote in his recent column.
Jim Low of the MDC says an estimated 8,000 fishermen are expected to participate in the statewide opening day event, with "more than 25,000 trout" awaiting them.
"The long-range weather forecast for March 1 points to chilly but not unseasonably cold weather...," Low wrote in a recent press release. "That sort of weather is unlikely to discourage anglers who think nothing of standing up to their bellybuttons in chill water for hours, trying to fill a limit of four hatchery-reared trout."

Trout season gets off to a great start

I know I'm a curmudgeon and a grinch. Many times I just have to step back and say okay, I just don't get it.
But seriously, why exactly does everyone seem to want a Figureprint? I just don't understand the appeal. I mean, at this point I have fairly decent gear, but I just don't understand why I would want a little model of my character. For one thing, it's not like the gear I'd end up immortalized in would stay good very long (there' s an expansion on the way and all) and furthermore, it's not like you can get the Figureprint updated, you'd basically have to buy another.
That of course assumes you'd get to buy one at all. The way it works, you don't get to order a Figureprint, you sign up for a drawing and if you get lucky, then you can buy one. Are these things really that awesome that it's worth waiting months for a chance to get one? There's some back and forth on the construction process and the finished product in this forum thread but that didn't really help me any. Reading the interview Mike did with the founder of the company made it sound pretty cool, actually. But thinking printing stuff on plastic in the manner described sounds cool doesn't really help me figure out why folks are so astonishingly into these things.
Is it to motivate you to get better gear? Honestly, help me out here. Has anyone reading this actually bought one yet? How does it look? Did you think it was worth it, and why'd you decide to get one in the first place?
