Here's what I get on a 2.2.5 machine : no "pkg_install" pc-mcs1:/ (130) % ll /usr/sbin/pkg* -r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 40960 Oct 21 1997 /usr/sbin/pkg_add -r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 32768 Oct 21 1997 /usr/sbin/pkg_create -r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 32768 Oct 21 1997 /usr/sbin/pkg_delete -r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 32768 Oct 21 1997 /usr/sbin/pkg_info pc-mcs1:/ (131) % > OK, I have cvsup and have been using it to stay current with the KDE > development, so I am familiar with that part... So, KDE does have a cvsup server ? That's very fine. I'll use it to follow the developpment. (I hope there won't be a fight between the source imported from KDE and the port from freebsd.org, though) > > Regarding th second suggestion (doing a make buildworld)...will that hose my > custom kernel I have now? make world (buildworld is a sub-target) "only" updates the "userland" of FreeBSD - after a buildworld, you generally rebuid your kernel (with config mykernel ; cd ../../compile/mykernel ; etc ....) You rebuild your kernel on a manual intervention. > > On 23-Jul-98 THIERRY.HERBELOT@telspace.alcatel.fr wrote: > > Hi > > I don't have the previous attachments, but a safe beginning is : > > - read the handbook on staying stable (in www.freebsd.org) > > - try and "make buildworld" in /usr/src (read the Makefile) > > - man cvsup (and the www site of its author Mr Polstra) - you will > > probably have to install the cvsup package (hence man "pkg_delete") > > You ment pkg_install right?? > > ---------------------------------- > William Woods <wwoods@cybcon.com> > --> FreeBSD 2.2.6 <-- > Date: 23-Jul-98 > Time: 06:12:33 > ---------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
