you should really jusy update your ports tree with cvs its alot easier to keep up-to-date and you don't have to worry about weird web paths in the tar files :) but just copying the files over to /usr/ports will work also -daniel | When you get a port from the ports site where are you supposed to untar it | from on your box? Are you supposed to untar it from root (/)? My ports | branch is /usr/ports the tar goes: | pub/FreeBSD/branches/-current/ports/........? Is there something I am | missing here? The method I use is to just copy the port into the | /usr/ports/whatever/myportis. | | Stupid question but would love to know the answer, though. | | Wonderful One To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
