"Imagine" by John Lennon
Words by: Kirill Ponomarew <krion@FreeBSD.org>
Imagine there's no INDEX
It's easy if you try
It was a hard decision
It should now go and die
Imagine all the people
Building INDEX today...
Imagine there's no ports
Is it so hard to do ?
Nothing to break or fix for
And no GNOME too
Imagine all the people
Fetching INDEX today...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But the hacks must go away
I hope someday you won't break it
And let the downloads rule the day
Imagine there's no cluster
I wonder if you can
Two hundreds ports are broken
Please help us, Uncle Sam
Imagine all the people
Loving INDEX today...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But the hacks must go away
I hope someday you won't break it
And let the downloads rule the day
"It's the Last 4-RELEASE For A While (It's 4.10)"
Sung drunkenly to the tune of R.E.M.'s It's The End Of the World As We Know It
Words by: <marcus@FreeBSD.org>
It's great, it starts with an update, twa(4), ps(1), sendmail,
crash dumps on amr(4) RAID. Big change to usb(4), now have ctau(4) -
polling(4) in ste(4), GNOME and KDE. No DA_OLD_QUIRKS, BIND, rl(4), xl(4).
libdisk partition fixed with sysinstall(8), killall(8). dcons(4) FireWire,
yo get console access, dcons_crom(4) is required, and that is not all.
natd(8), libalias, ppp(8) now with Skinny Voice over IP. Team by team
the trees were frozen, slushed, thawed, what work! Man this song is lame!
Fine then. Uh-oh, overflow, shared memory, BIND DoS, but they're fixed.
ifconfig(8), sconfig(8). polling(4) in ste(4), VLANs for nge(4).
disklabel(8) with -f operates on files now, right? - right! It's secure,
stable, professional, fast, live, and RFC 2385.
It's the last 4-RELEASE for a while.
It's the last 4-RELEASE for a while.
It's the last 4-RELEASE for a while, it's 4.10.
"Help!" by the Beatles
Words by: <asami@FreeBSD.org>
Help! I need somebody
Help! Not just anybody
Help! You know I need someone
Help!!!
When the ports tree was smaller, so much smaller than today,
I rarely needed anybody's help in any way
And now those days were gone
I'm overloaded by the 780 ports and packages
Now I find I need to build packages
For both 2.2 and -current
Help me if you can the're too many port submissions
And I do appreciate you being 'round
Help me get the number of open PR's back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me?....
"Another Patch in the File (part 2)" by Port Floyd
Words by: Kris Kennaway <kris@FreeBSD.org>
We don't need no engineering
We dont need no source control
No crypto checksums on the distfiles
Porters leave them files alone
Hey! Porters! Leave them files alone!
All in all it's just another patch in the file.
All in all you're just another patch in the file.
We don't need no engineering
We dont need no source control
No crypto checksums on the distfiles
Porters leave them files alone
Hey! Porters! Leave them files alone!
All in all it's just another patch in the file.
All in all you're just another patch in the file.
"Wrong, pointy hat!"
"If you don't fix yer ports, you can't have any packages! How can
you have any packages if you don't fix yer ports?"
"You! Yes, you behind the bikesheds! Stand still, laddy!"
Ports Freeze Baby
(loosely sung to the tune of Vanilla Ice's Ice Ice Baby)
Words by: Joe Marcus Clarke <marcus@FreeBSD.org>
Yo CVS let's kick it
Ports freeze baby (x2)
All right stop grab a port get to fixin'
The freeze is back and pthread is broken
Bikeshed grabs a hold of developers@
People want a slushie to fix -CURRENT PRs
Will it ever stop yo I don't know
Lay down the tag and I'll go
Back to bed haven't slept for weeks
Gotta build packages for 4.9-RELEASE
Damn these Alpha builds take forever
Need more hardware to make things better
Deadly when bento's building KDE
Machines are always breaking into DDB
Build it or fail I can't wait
The tag needs to slip? cvs update
If there are issues portmgr@ takes 'em
Test out the packages while bento makes 'em
CHORUS
Ports freeze baby (x4)
THE LONG AND WINDING CODE
Sung to the tune of: "The long and winding road" (the Beatles)
Words by: kris@freebsd.org
The long and winding code
that leads to your port.
Will never disappear;
I've seen that code before.
It always leads me here,
leads me to your port.
Many times I've been alone,
and many times I've cried.
Anyway you'll never know the
many ways I've compiled, but
Still they lead me back
to the long and winding code.
You left me standing here
a long, long time ago.
Don't leave me waiting here,
lead me to your port.

"A New Version"
Sung to the tune of: "Like a Virgin", as performed by Madonna
Original lyrics by: Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly
Lyrics mangled by: Bruce A. Mah
I made it through the sysinstall
Somehow I made it through.
Didn't know how lost I was
Until I found a clue.
F-T-P, incomplete.
Tried again, finally came through.
Then you made me feel,
Yeah you made me feel
Shiny and new.
CHORUS
A new version,
Run for the very first time.
A new version,
On my hard disk,
It's so fine.
Gonna give you all of my files, boy,
My server's running fast.
Been saving it all for you
The Beastie's here at last.
Four-point-six, on my disk.
Makes me strong, yeah you make me bold
Oh your code fixed up
Yeah, your code fixed up
What was buggy and old.
CHORUS
Beastie fine, you're all mine
I'll be yours, 'till the end of time(3)
'Cause you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
The power inside.
CHORUS
A new version, ooh, ooh
A new version.
Feels so good inside
When you're running, and your disk spins, and you're serving.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
"FreeBSD"
Sung to the tune of: "YMCA", by The Village People
Inspired by: {silby,imp}@freebsd.org
Lyrics mangled by:
Young man, I said don't mope around
I said, young man, 'cause your servers are down
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground
There's no need to be unhappy
Young man, there's an O.S. for you
I said, young man, if you've got work to do
You can boot it, and I'm sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time
{Refrain}
It's always fun to run FreeBSD
It's always fun to run FreeBSD
They have all that you need, right there on the net
You can run it and not get upset
It's always fun to run FreeBSD
It's always fun to run FreeBSD
You can serve the whole Web, you can send all your mail
You can run it and it won't fail
Young man, are you ready to roll
I said, young man, where do you want to go
I said, young man, you can do a "buildworld"
But you've got to read UPDATING
You don't need to pay anything
I said, young man, Beastie's got the right thing
So just run it, get the latest release
I'm sure it will help you and me
{Refrain}
Young man, I was once in your shoes
I said, I had a screen that was so blue
I felt that Bill didn't care not at all
I felt the whole world was so small
That's when Beastie came up to me
And said, young man, take a walk up the street
There's a O.S. that's called FreeBSD
It can start you back on your way
{First part of refrain}
FreeBSD you'll find it running FreeBSD
Young man, young man, servers shouldn't be down
Young man, young man, get yourself off the ground.
FreeBSD you'll like it running on FreeBSD
Young man, young man, servers shouldn't be down
Young man, young man, get yourself off the ground
FreeBSD you'll like it running on FreeBSD
Young man, young man, are you listening to me
Young man, young man, what do you wanna be
The Core Members Of FreeBSD
(Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band)
It was twenty years ago today,
UC Berkeley gave the code away
But they got sued by AT&T
Then disbanded the CSRG.
So may I introduce to you
The folks you've know for all this years,
The Core Members of FreeBSD.
We're the core members of FreeBSD,
We hope you will enjoy the code.
We're the core members of FreeBSD,
Sit back and let the install go.
We are the core members, We are the core members
We are core members of FreeBSD.
It's wonderful to code here, it's certanly a thrill.
It's such a lovely project,
We'd like to give the code away,
We'd like to give it free.
I don't really want to block the code,
But I thought that you might like to know,
That jordan's going to make release,
And he wants you all to be in code freeze.
So let me introduce to you
The one and only jkh
And the core members of FreeBSD.

With A Little Help From The Lists
(A Little Help From My Friends)
What would you think if I patched up your code,
Would you take my commit privs from me.
Lend me your code and I'll make it compile
And I'll try not to make it break style(9)
I get by with a little help from the lists,
I get high with a little help from the lists.
Going to try with a little help from the lists.
What do I do when the kernel won't run
(Does it worry you to see a crash dump)
How do I feel by the end of make world
(Are you sad because it took too long)
No I get by with a little help from the lists,
Have you flamed anybody,
I need somebody to flame.
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to flame.
Would you believe in a patch that breaks style(9),
Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time.
What do you see when you run a traceroute
I can't tell you, but I know its bad
Oh I get by with a little help from the lists
Have you flamed anybody,
I need somebody to flame,
Could it be anybody,
I want somebody to flame.
I get by with a little help from the lists,
Yes I get by with a little help from the lists,
With a little help from the lists.

Original: "Hotel California" (Eagles)
Berkeley, California
In a dark dim machine room
Cool A/C in my hair
Warm smell of silicon
Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance
I saw a Solarian(tm) light
My kernel grew heavy, and my disk grew slim
I had to halt(8) for the night
The backup spun in the tape drive
I heard a terminal bell
And I was thinking to myself
This could be BSD or USL
Then they started a lawsuit
And they showed me the way
There were salesmen down the corridor
I thought I heard them say
Welcome to Berkeley California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely place (backgrounded)
Such a lovely trace(1)
Plenty of jobs at Berkeley California
Any time of year
Any time of year (backgrounded)
You can find one here
You can find one here
Their code was definately twisted
But they've got the stock market trends
They've got a lot of pretty, pretty lawyers
That they call friends
How they dance in the courtroom
See BSDI sweat
Some sue to remember
Some sue to forget
So I called up Kernighan
Please bring me ctime(3)
He said
"We haven't had that tm_year since 1969"
And still those functions are calling from far away
Wake up Jobs in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say
Welcome to Berkeley California
Such a lovely Place
Such a lovely Place (backgrounded)
Such a lovely trace(1) They're livin' it up suing Berkeley California
What a nice surprise
What a nice surprise (backgrounded)
Bring your alibies
Windows NT a dreaming
Pink OS on ice
And they said
"We are all just prisoners here
Of a marketing device"
And in the judges's chambers
They gathered for the feast
They diff(1)d the source code listings
But they can't kill -9 the beast
Last thing I remember
I was restore(8)ing | more(1)
I had to find the soft link back to the path I was before
sleep(3) said the pagedaemon
We are programmed to recv(2)
You can swap out any time you like
But you can never leave(1)

Original: "Sympathy for the devel" (Rolling Stones)
Sympathy for the daemon
Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm an OS of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith
And I was 'round when Gary Kildall
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Bill Gates
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I stuck around Digital
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed VMS and its decendents
The VAXen screamed in vain
I rode my way
through USLs day
when the lawsuit raged
and the licenses stank
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the OSes they made
I shouted out,
Who killed System V?
When after all
It was you and me
Do you think that there is something wrong with the credits, drop
me an email and I'll correct it!
