I've got a machine here that was recently upgraded from 4.1.1 to 4.2. That went fine, but now the ports collection don't work. On any port I get: Error: your port uses an old layout. Please update it to match this bsd.port.mk. I also have a 4.2 machine which has a working ports collection. (This machine I built from scratch). So I tar'd and bzip'd /usr/ports and sent it over to the other machine, and extracted it over the /usr/ports collection. I figured that as I got the ports collection from a working machine, it should work. But it doesn't. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? I was under the impression that the ports collection was a little bit seperate from the core of the system. (From notes in cvsup about how the ports collection doesn't have tags associated with it).
