Description Robert William Vesterman 2025-11-11 22:22:40 UTC
I just went to install textproc/kibana8, but pkg told me that it requires www/node20, which conflicts with www/node22, which in turn is the default version, and which I already had installed.

Thankfully, I guess I had long ago uninstalled whatever it was that needed www/node22, and pkg just offered to downgrade node for me as part of installing textproc/kibana8. But it would be nice if Kibana could work with the default version.

The current version of textproc/kibana8 is severely outdated.

If you wish to run 8.19.x (compatible with www/node22) please see Bug #289759.

Thanks. I'm OK with it for now, since I don't currently need Node for anything else, and just in general I'd prefer to wait for fixes to make it into ports rather than worrying about manually patching stuff.

But I notice that that bug report has been open for months, and has gone through several patches to several new versions (all from you, I think?) without any apparent action to get it into the actual ports. Do you know anything about the status of all this?

Thanks again.

Honestly I don't know why my work hasn't been accepted yet. :/ Perhaps I'm going through the wrong way of getting it committed, or the reviewers are overloaded with other submissions. In any case, I'll keep updating as long as I can.

Sorry for the delay, I will take the time and review all this during coming week.
