Subject: getting ports to work

  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).

  Thanks anyone
