New subject: Knot Resolver 6.0.17

5 Led 2026

Hi,
Between countless parcel notifications in my inbox, I suddenly found this message...
...just moments after I posted my modification (which is entirely focussed on setup.py):
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=292197
I'm now merging that with what's suggested here.
So it's getting further than before, but is not yet completing successfully.
Leo.

  OK, that's a complication.  In 6.0.17 we
added FreeBSD support to code added in 6.x, and now we're in contact with the
maintainer of the [port], but the last version I saw didn't seem to package all parts
needed for YAML (e.g. executables called knot-resolver and kresctl). 
 In March 2024 I tried to create a FreeBSD port for knot-resolver-6.0.8. I got it compiled
after applying the following changes (see tar file attached). I do remember that I could
use kresctl in a poudriere testport jail, only, but I can't reproduce that as of
today, sorry.
 (This is intended as a FYI, just in case it helps.)
 1) files/patch-meson_options.txt
        This adds a manager section to meson_options.txt.
        With that I could tell meson to use '-Dmanager=enabled' within the
port's Makefile
        This section is missing in 6.0.17 as well. If added meson log file tells me that a
manager is enabled.
 I do not have the knowledge if that is necessary at all, though
 2) files/patch-controller_supervisord_plugin_notifymodule.c
        This patch addresses:
        #) include sys/ucred.h
        #) use LOCAL_PEERCRED instead of SO_PASSCRED
        #) use 'struct xucred' instead of 'struct ucred'
        #) use SCM_CREDS instead of SCM_CREDENTIALS
        #) use cred.cr_pid instead of cred.pid as returned value
 Again, I do not have the knowledge if that is of relevance at all.
 I applied both patches to Leo's port and modified the Makefile accordingly (see tar),
and it compiles successfully; but is still lacking kresctl and knot-resolver.
 I hope that this might be of interest for you.
 Regards,
 Michael
