To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG After reading a bit about cvs and listening to what people said about it, I got the impression that it updates everything in the ports directory. I run cvsup twice a week, so I thought I'd have the latest updates. Last night I tried install mozilla and when I did a 'make clean && make && make install' the installation started downloading an older version of mozilla. What am I doing wrong? I also did a 'make world' and after I did that typing 'uname -v' gives the following: FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE #0: Sat Apr 21 10:54:49 GMT 2001 jkh@narf.osd.bsdi.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC I thought it rebuilt everything... if it did, wouldn't it give a more recent build date? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
