Making world does not depend on X. In | general it's a good idea to set the version of X in make.conf, however. The | default has changed from 3 to 4 (in FreeBSD 4.6).

Are you sure you have | a server specified in your supfile, and that you've uncommented all the port | directories you want updated? cvsup is definitely updating my ports. I've played around a lot with this and I just can't figure it out. I will cvsup my ports tree, remake the INDEX and run pkgdb -u or pkgdb -F, but I still get this output: maelstrom > malsync > mkisofs > mozilla > mp-letter = mpeg_lib = mpeg_play = mtools > mutt > nasm > ncftp3 > More than half will show ">" | > Can anyone suggest the best old-style route to upgrading X?

However, this is what portupgrade does, but with automatic | dependency handling. The X-dependent ports should be rebuilt, I'd guess. Thanks. I'm going to give more attention to this annoying portupgrade problem and maybe I can get that going. I'm certainly not going to use it until it stops being confused about my versions! :) -- Steve Tremblett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
