Today, whenever I tried to make a port, I got the message: Your system is too old to use this bsd.port.mk. You need a fresh make world or an upgrade kit. Please go to http://www.freebsd.org/ports/ or a mirror site and follow the instructions So I upgraded to today's stable, and it still didn't work. (I use CTM, I got up to src-3.0076 if that helps.) I finally traced it down to a missing file: /var/db/pkg/.mkversion, and by hand I inserted todays date: 19990330, and now it all works fine. But shouldn't this have been done automatically by some process? Did I miss something? -- Stephen Montgomery-Smith stephen@math.missouri.edu 307 Math Science Building stephen@showme.missouri.edu Department of Mathematics stephen@missouri.edu University of Missouri-Columbia Columbia, MO 65211 USA Phone (573) 882 4540 Fax (573) 882 1869 http://math.missouri.edu/~stephen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
