Comment 9 rubenverhoef 2016-04-01 18:20:02 UTC
I really like sharelatex and don't get it working on FreeBSD. when i install your port it says: 
"/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk", line 1433: Could not find /usr/ports/Mk/Uses/nodejs.mk

Could be my fault. Can somebody help me? (ruben_verhoef@hotmail.com)

Please note the dependencies - one of them isn't installed.

I have node010 npm010 and grunt installed but same error

/usr/ports/Mk/Uses/nodejs.mk comes from https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=204577

I see a conversation at: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D4603
I'm using freebsd 9.3 and you said "This patch (bug#205032) also breaks on 9.X, so you need to use 10.X for now." so I can't use your port right now?
Comment 15 Yuri Victorovich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-04-03 15:27:08 UTC
Sorry, it currently won't work on 9.X.
One of the patches isn't compatible with 9.X because 9.X has a different make.
One of the two things should happen:
* Patch should be fixed for 9.X
* Wait until 9.X goes out of support.
I am not sure when 9.X goes out of support, I meant to ask but didn't ask yet.
This is what stopped me.

(In reply to yuri from comment #15)

No problem, i'm using FreeNAS so that's the reason i'm on 9.3

Now i'm trying to build sharelatex on my own but have one problem left :( https://github.com/sharelatex/sharelatex/issues/409

Thanks for your help.
Comment 17 Rodomar705 2016-04-04 18:09:09 UTC
And here i am. I hope that this port will make in the port tree, sooner or later. Works wonderfully here on 10.3. The only problem for now is managing and upgrading the port itself, unfortunately. Having to patch the ports tree each time the tree is upgraded it's quite annoying. What's stopping the merge of the package itself? Just the patches? Maybe back porting the changes to let it work correctly with the current port tree would speedup the merge itself? Or it is just too hard/long to do it?
Comment 18 Yuri Victorovich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-04-04 18:46:07 UTC
The drag is 9.X incompatibility of one of the patches.

Does anybody know when 9.X is going out of support?
Comment 19 Rodomar705 2016-04-04 18:52:03 UTC
(In reply to yuri from comment #18)
According to the official site, the EOL for 9.3 is expected to be December 31, 2016.
Comment 20 Yuri Victorovich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-04-04 19:42:45 UTC
The patch in question is in bug#205032. The feature it adds is the ability to have hyphens and other special characters in github URLs. Going forward, with an increasing number of github dependencies it is essential to be able to handle any kinds of characters in URLs.

I couldn't figure out why the old make fails with this patch. If you are good at make and have time for this you are welcome to figure this out. 9.X support is currently a requirement for ports. This is the status of this issue.
Comment 21 Rodomar705 2016-04-14 07:21:20 UTC
After changing literally only the version number for tap, grunt seems to be installed just fine. Ugly hack, but it works. Now the problem is that when is trying to fetch, fails with
npm ERR! git submodule -q update --init --recursive: nodejs-fetch: ERROR: Unknown command: submodule
npm ERR! git submodule -q update --init --recursive:

Why fake-git? That's the reason? But i've installed git, and it keep spitting this error out to me. Had unfortunately to recover from a filesystem change, and i need to reinstall the package. Any help is appreciated.
Comment 22 Yuri Victorovich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-04-14 08:09:32 UTC
npm isn't supposed to ever call git in this framework. I am not sure what is wrong. fake-git is a script that mimics git but retrieves the pre-downloaded copy of the same requested tarball.

Comment 24 Rodomar705 2016-04-14 08:17:21 UTC
This is done during the fetch phase. I've attached the log file and if you can identify the source, i would be grateful. Can it be caused by my small modification on Grunt to install it?

Thanks.
Comment 25 Yuri Victorovich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-04-14 10:39:36 UTC
I think this is due to the new npm version 3.8.6. node.mk was developed with npm-2.14.7. I need to update node.mk to be compatible with the new npm. In the mean time you can downgrade www/npm to 2.14.7 and it should build.

fake-git script emulates certain commands for the real git, but it looks like the new npm calls some not-yet-supported variation.

(In reply to yuri from comment #25)
YES! That was the problem! Thanks a million times, it was driving me crazy, i was literally taking the Mongo DB dump to pieces to get back my university notes. Thanks a ton again :)

This was a hard lesson for forcing me to remember to backup before doing modifications, but i think that was useful :P

Have a wonderful day :)

Nico,

You need UID and GID added, similar to what the first patch does.

This is based on noejs.mk, that needs to be continued.

^Triage: clear the now obsolete 'patch' keyword.

To assignee: is this aging PR still relevant?
Comment 33 Yuri Victorovich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2024-09-28 01:06:39 UTC
NodeJS-based projects are very hard to port.
