On my Thinkpad with 5.4 I'm able to use portupgrade -PP[&c] to upgrade my ports via packages, but on my 5.3 platform I get ---> Fetching abiword-plugins-2.4.1 fetch: ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.3-release/All/abiword-plugins-2.4.1.tbz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) ** The command returned a non-zero exit status: 1 Do we have to be this restrictive? I can see keeping the versions 4.x, 5.x, 6.x, 7.x, nd so forth separate, but no reason to *not* let the majority of ports for, say, AbiWord, from being able t be installed by package instead of having to pull over the source tarball ... Hopefully somebody can shed some insights. gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
