Yes, devtools-6.1 will be based on the same set of packages, unless someone can give me a good reason to not do that of course :-) > 2.

Just keep in mind that linux_base imstalls rpm-3.0.x and our ports collection has rpm-2.5.x and the database formats differ. rpm-3 automaticly converts rpm-2 databases, so that when you've used rpm-3, you cannot use rpm-2 anymore. -- Marcel Moolenaar mailto:marcel@scc.nl SCC Internetworking & Databases http://www.scc.nl/ The FreeBSD project mailto:marcel@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
