Bug 202927

Summary: x11-toolkits/qt4-gui post-install info looks out of date

Description David Chisnall freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-09-06 09:45:18 UTC 
The installation suggests setting:

kern.ipc.shmall=32768
kern.ipc.shmmni=1024
kern.ipc.shmseg=1024


The default values on 10.0 are:

kern.ipc.shmall: 131072
kern.ipc.shmmni: 192
kern.ipc.shmseg: 128

Suggesting lowering the maximum number of pages available for shared pages doesn't seem sensible.  The other default limits look as if they ought to be high enough (kern.ipc.shmseg is the number of shm segments that each process can have open, so should be fine.  kern.ipc.shmmni is the total number of shm objects, so might need lowering).

If the defaults are too low for KDE to work, please file a bugs against base (and add me to the cc list).  It's ludicrous for us to be shipping a default install that doesn't work with modern applications.
Comment 1 Raphael Kubo da Costa freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-12-03 16:26:13 UTC 
My guess is that those were added at a time when the FreeBSD releases we had to support in the ports tree did not all include those limit changes (base r209037 is not in the 8.x branch at least).

I have no objection to getting rid of pkg-message altogether.

Log:
  Remove x11-toolkit/qt4-gui's pkg-message.

  Back in mid-2012 (ports revisions r297367 and r299321), pkg-message was
  added to the port suggesting changes to the default shared memory limits in
  loader.conf(5). Since then, the default limits have been changed and the
  values suggested by the port are no longer sensible (base r209037, present
  in all supported FreeBSD releases).

  According to theraven@:
    Suggesting lowering the maximum number of pages available for shared pages
    doesn't seem sensible. The other default limits look as if they ought to
    be high enough (kern.ipc.shmseg is the number of shm segments that each
    process can have open, so should be fine. kern.ipc.shmmni is the total
    number of shm objects, so might need lowering).

  Follow his advice and drop the suggestions from pkg-message.

  Drop x11-toolkits/qt5-gui's pkg-message too.

  It contains the same suggestions that were dropped from its Qt4 counterpart
  in r402882. Mention both ports in UPDATING.
