But the pm3 port was the old 1.1.13 and cvsup depended on 1.1.14 (on the newest ports collection). Now I have to download 20 megabytes just for this reason: 'Upgrade to pm3-1.1.14. This eliminates 103 patch files. :-)' Is there any way to update the ports distfiles (something like cvsup)? I see there are both pm3-1.1.13 and pm3-1.1.14 distfiles on ftp.freebsd.org... Maybe a target in the makefile which extracts the package distfile (first find what version we have), download the (small) patches, apply them and optionaly re-create the archive (and rename it)? Ofcorse, someone should create the patches :) Players win and Winners play Have a lucky day On Thu, 21 Sep 2000, Kris Kennaway wrote: > On Thu, 21 Sep 2000, Roman Shterenzon wrote: > [cut] > > Upgrading the package is not so easy when it has dependencies - this is a > problem which we've wanted someone to come along and solve for ages now, > but if you want to have a crack at it it would also be great. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.5.1i iQCVAwUBOcnWQ/D9M5lef5W3AQFwkgP+IrC5akac2VnFyAyO+6rIug2uQSSkJHEz 7aV/F5/l5EfBkbC/inyAF8K5WPBMH0CgHDWNcVrw0Bbm3MnPrRhFKReVdcw02g+q 0e6i85FEZGuCNzxRKnxr/m40NwHSF8lqHQ2ct8IQZqnJZF8lJJBivOiMxmnA0RbL YhPAg6a29Hs= =ojOY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
