Re: [NTG-context] Systemwide installation does not work
Hello all,
Alan Braslau
After forcing a rebuild of the freebsd binaries and committing them to the garden, first-setup.sh now seems to work correctly. Would you try again installing on your system?
I will try to see with Mojca what went wrong with the server: why committing openbsd binaries overwrote the freebsd binaries.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
No apology required. On the contrary, thank you for the work you do in providing the binaries, it is very much appreciated. I can confirm that everything is now working again. Best wishes, Roger
Mailing list: There was some fluctuation in the FreeBSD binaries being distributed on contextgarden.net. With the recent introduction of FreeBSD 11.0, the GPL3-tainted GNU libstdc++ has been dropped in favor of a new, clean libc++. This follows on the switch from gcc to clang that took place with the introduction of FreeBSD 10.0. As a result, the new binaries compiled on FreeBSD 11.0 failed to work on older systems, i.e. FreeBSD 9.3 (still in production/supported). We now take care to provide binaries compiled under FreeBSD 9.3 on the garden, at least until this version gets phased-out at the end of the year. https://wiki.freebsd.org/NewC++Stack Mac users should note that MacOS closely follows similar developments as FreeBSD. (TEXLive, being even more conservative, distributes binaries compiled under FreeBSD 7.3.) Alan P.S. The present thread started as the FreeBSD binaries got crushed by new OpenBSD binaries that will soon be available on the garden, helping us also understand the above new shared-library issue.

According to my experience, an official EOL rarely means the end of real-world use. FWIW, I'd stick with 9.X for a while. -- Nikola Lečić = Никола Лечић fingerprint : FEF3 66AF C90E EDC3 D878 7CDC 956D F4AB A377 1C9B ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
