#bob — Public Fediverse posts

Still can’t get over how IBM named a product “Bob”.

My birthday week again; a few days left.

But I’ve already received this incredible card from the folks at the Church of Subgnius, specifically from the Grand Wizard Oberwarlord Reverend Onan Canobite. Mr @onan Canobite wrote the lyrics to the song ‘Moral Panic’ on my LP of the same name and is surely what you’d call a true friend. The Church of SubGenius is arguably the most influential artistic collective in the USA and has been active since the early 1980s. If it didn’t move me to tears, it would move me to tears.
The card is hand-printed and hand-painted, with wintry stamps—as is fitting for Knoxville and the girls there (going for a walk?) Praise Bob Motherfuckers!!!

I've been working on some optimisations to bob's dynamic scheduler, which has resulted in a huge new personal best for a from-scratch pkgsrc bulk build:

Built 26943 in 17h 40m 23s (22688 succeeded, 0 cached, 2577 failed, 1678 skipped)

Not quite an apples-to-apples comparison as I've been using a slower host but with more cores, but previously this was taking just under 24 hours.

#pkgsrc #bob

A nice little usability improvement coming in the next version of bob: you can specify a dewey pattern for commands that accepts a package match, e.g.:

$ ./target/debug/bob history -o pkgname,outcome,duration 'nodejs>22<26'
PKGNAME OUTCOME DURATION
nodejs-24.15.0 failed 6m34s
nodejs-22.22.2 success 53m39s

If it's not a dewey pattern then it'll fall back to the usual regular expression matching.

Makes it easier to be specific, especially in required pkg lists.

As #Bob #Dobbs said, don't just eat three chicken pot pies, eat the hell out of three chicken pot pies

Early next week I'll be updating the SmartOS trunk package sets to be built on 20250612, as per announcement to smartos-discuss:

https://smartos.topicbox.com/groups/smartos-discuss/T4d2e6741534082c1-M55c62305fa736b387d1fd04f/bumping-the-minimum-pi-requirement-for-trunk-packages

This also migrates them over to bob, and an improved build host configuration that will result in much faster and more reliable builds.

No need to do anything other than ensure you're running at least 20250612 (we release every 2 weeks with new features and security fixes, why wouldn't you?!) and "pkgin upgrade".

Słuchajcie tego: a co jeśli egg fried rice, ale z bobem?

Wiem, że wygląda słabo, bo ryż miałem świeży, prosto z ryżowaru, a nie wczorajszy, a do tego bób gotowałem o minutę-dwie za długo, ale i tak mogę powiedzieć, że koncept się sprawdził.

#fediGotuje #ryż #bób

@leaf A cleaner way to handle that would be to add 'only = { exists = "/usr/X11R7" }' to that line, feel free to to raise an issue for this and I can ship this in the default config if it's useful.

#pkgsrc #bob

Building pkgsrc with bob on NetBSD: if you get an error about X11R7, this is normal if you have a headless server without Xorg/X11.

Comment out the following line in your configuration file: { action = "mount", fs = "null", dir = "/usr/X11R7", opts = "-o ro" },
See https://github.com/jperkin/bob/blob/main/config/netbsd.lua#L152

Of course if you need to build X11 apps, install X11 on your host and keep the line.

Now that I want to keep gotosocial and readeack pkgsrc packages up to date automatically, I find myself trying bob.

Not bob the playschool user interface from Microsoft.
Bob  from @jperkin the pkgsrc building sandboxed factory written in rust.

Will see how it goes...

Sending money to Tom does not get your butt on the saucer or Dobbstown Journal in your hands. Praise his silly name, thats B. O. B. Route your bit coins , drachmas, bearer bonds, and direct deposits right into the loving hands of BOB and never again wonder where your money is going...it's gone baby baaabeeeeeeee...gone to BOB and his ministries of excusatory salvation!!!!

Uwaga! Bób w warzywniakach zjechał do 10 zł za paczkę, pora na wrzucenie do zamrażalnika zapasu na te smutne miesiące do następnego sezonu.

Delighted to announce the first 1.0.0 release of bob, and import it into pkgsrc for general use in time for pkgsrc-2026Q2.

https://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-changes/2026/06/12/msg348092.html

One of the reasons for the name is in honour of my dad, who has later stage dementia.

I've poured a lot of effort into making this program be the best it can be, so that it is befitting of its name.

It's something I've wanted for many years, and I'm thrilled that it's now available. I think it's pretty great, and I hope you do too.

#pkgsrc #bob

TIL the --locked argument to 'cargo install', necessary to workaround upstream breakage in the time crate causing bob to fail, and looks like lots of others:

https://github.com/time-rs/time/issues/783

Doesn't seem great that a broken publish of an indirect dependency can break so much software, and there was much WTFing while trying to explain why a build that worked yesterday didn't work this morning.

Why isn't --locked the default?

#rust #rustlang #bob

Released bob v0.99.7, available via 'cargo install bob' or pkgsrc-wip/bob.

Includes a whole host of performance wins, memory use reductions, new commands, ergonomic improvements, reliability fixes, and general code cleanups.

Aiming to release this as v1.0 ready to import into pkgsrc for the next branch, so if you have any issues with it please let me know as soon as possible!

https://github.com/jperkin/bob/blob/main/CHANGES.md

Happy building.

"Bob" had a small but crucial part as the smiling salesman in "Get Killed or Die Tryin'", that movie by that hiphop artist.
