I would like to install gamin on my amd64 system running freebsd 6.3 in stead of fam, I've been using the latter since installing openoffice (on the net I found a guide saying I should put WITH_FAM_SYSTEM=fam in my /etc/make.conf) Which packages require fam is found by issuing the following command: pkg_info -R fam* gives: Information for fam-2.6.10_3: Required by: ImageMagick-6.4.5.5 ORBit2-2.14.14 Terminal-0.2.8.3 Thunar-0.9.3 at-spi-1.22.1_2 atk-1.22.0_1 avahi-0.6.23 avahi-app-0.6.23 bluefish-1.0.7_5 claws-mail-3.5.0_1 consolekit-0.2.10_3 dbus-glib-0.76 desktop-file-utils-0.15_1 dia-gnome-0.96.1_6,1 enchant-1.4.0_1 evolution-2.22.3.1 evolution-data-server-2.22.3_1 evolution-exchange-2.22.3 evolution-webcal-2.21.92_2 firefox-2.0.0.18,1 g-wrap-1.9.6_4,1 gail-1.22.3 gconf2-2.22.0_1 gdl-0.7.11_2 gdm-2.20.8 gdvrecv-1.2_4 gio-fam-backend-2.16.5 gnome-icon-theme-2.22.0_1 gnome-keyring-2.22.3_1 gnome-mount-0.8_2 gnome-spell-1.0.8_2 gnome-vfs-2.22.0_2 graphviz-2.20.3 gstreamer-0.10.21 gstreamer-plugins-0.10.21,3 gtk-2.12.11_1 gtk-engines2-2.14.3 gtk-xfce-engine-2.4.3 gtkhtml3-3.18.3 gtksourceview2-2.2.2 gtkspell-2.0.14 gvfs-0.2.5 hal-0.5.11_1 html2ps-letter-1.0.b5_1,1 inkscape-0.46_3 jdk-1.5.0.14p8_4,1 kdelibs-3.5.10 kmymoney2-0.8.9_2 libIDL-0.8.11 libbonobo-2.22.0_1 libbonoboui-2.22.0_2 libcroco-0.6.1_1 libexo-0.3.4_2 libgda3-3.0.4_1 libgksu-1.3.8_3 libgksuui-1.0.7_3 libglade2-2.6.3 libgnome-2.22.0_1 libgnomecanvas-2.20.1.1_2 libgnomecups-0.2.3_1,1 libgnomeprint-2.18.4_2 libgnomeprintui-2.18.2_2 libgnomeui-2.22.1_2 libgsf-1.14.8_2 libgtkhtml-2.11.1_2 libnotify-0.4.4_2 liboobs-2.22.0_1 librsvg2-2.22.3 libsexy-0.1.11_1 libsoup-2.2.105_3 libsoup-2.4.1_1 libwnck-2.22.3 libwpd-0.8.14_1 libxfce4gui-4.4.3 libxfce4mcs-4.4.3 libxfce4util-4.4.3 libxklavier-3.5_2,1 linc-1.0.3_7 mousepad-0.2.14 notification-daemon-0.3.7_3 nvu-1.0_7 openoffice.org-3.0.0 orage-4.4.3 pango-1.20.5 pgadmin3-1.8.4 policykit-0.9_1 policykit-gnome-0.9 poppler-gtk-0.8.7 py25-dbus-0.83.0_1 py25-gobject-2.14.2_2 py25-gstreamer-0.10.12 py25-gtk-2.12.1_1 py25-orbit-2.14.3_1 py25-zenmap-4.76 shared-mime-info-0.51 swt-3.1.1_3 system-tools-backends-2.6.0_1 vte-0.16.14_1 wv2-0.2.3_2 wxgtk2-2.4.2_16 wxgtk2-2.6.3_5 wxgtk2-2.8.9 wxgtk2-common-2.6.3_4 wxgtk2-common-2.8.9 wxgtk2-contrib-common-2.6.3_3 wxgtk2-contrib-common-2.8.9 wxgtk2-unicode-2.6.3_5 wxgtk2-unicode-2.8.9 wxgtk2-unicode-contrib-2.6.3_3 wxgtk2-unicode-contrib-2.8.9 wxsvg-1.0.b7.2_2 xf86-input-acecad-1.2.1_1 xf86-input-calcomp-1.1.1_1 xf86-input-citron-2.2.1_1 xf86-input-digitaledge-1.1.0_1 xf86-input-dmc-1.1.1_1 xf86-input-dynapro-1.1.1_1 xf86-input-elo2300-1.1.1_1 xf86-input-elographics-1.1.0_1 xf86-input-fpit-1.1.0_1 xf86-input-hyperpen-1.1.0_1 xf86-input-jamstudio-1.1.0_1 xf86-input-joystick-1.2.3_1 xf86-input-keyboard-1.2.2_2 xf86-input-magellan-1.1.1_1 xf86-input-magictouch-1.0.0.5_2 xf86-input-microtouch-1.1.1_1 xf86-input-mouse-1.2.3_2 xf86-input-mutouch-1.1.0_1 xf86-input-palmax-1.1.0_1 xf86-input-penmount-1.2.1_1 xf86-input-spaceorb-1.1.1_1 xf86-input-summa-1.1.0_1 xf86-input-tek4957-1.1.0_1 xf86-input-void-1.1.1_1 xf86-video-apm-1.1.1_2 xf86-video-ark-0.6.0_2 xf86-video-ati-6.9.0 xf86-video-chips-1.1.1_2 xf86-video-cirrus-1.1.0_2 xf86-video-cyrix-1.1.0_2 xf86-video-dummy-0.2.0_2 xf86-video-fbdev-0.3.1_2 xf86-video-glint-1.1.1_4 xf86-video-i128-1.2.1_2 xf86-video-i740-1.1.0_2 xf86-video-i810-1.7.4 xf86-video-imstt-1.1.0_2 xf86-video-mach64-6.8.0 xf86-video-mga-1.4.9,1 xf86-video-neomagic-1.1.1_2 xf86-video-newport-0.2.1_2 xf86-video-nsc-2.8.3_1 xf86-video-nv-2.1.12 xf86-video-r128-6.8.0 xf86-video-rendition-4.1.3_2 xf86-video-s3-0.5.0_2 xf86-video-s3virge-1.9.1_2 xf86-video-savage-2.1.3_1 xf86-video-siliconmotion-1.5.1_1 xf86-video-sis-0.10.0 xf86-video-tdfx-1.3.0_3 xf86-video-tga-1.1.0_2 xf86-video-trident-1.2.3_2 xf86-video-tseng-1.1.1_2 xf86-video-vesa-1.3.0_2 xf86-video-vga-4.1.0_2 xf86-video-via-0.2.2_3 xf86-video-vmware-10.15.2_1 xf86-video-voodoo-1.1.1_2 xfce-4.4.3 xfce4-appfinder-4.4.3 xfce4-desktop-4.4.3 xfce4-mcs-manager-4.4.3 xfce4-mcs-plugins-4.4.3 xfce4-mixer-4.4.3 xfce4-panel-4.4.3 xfce4-print-4.4.3 xfce4-session-4.4.3 xfce4-utils-4.4.3 xfce4-wm-4.4.3 xorg-7.3_2 xorg-drivers-7.3_3 xorg-server-1.4.2,1 zenity-2.22.1_1 The approaches I can think of are: 1) get rid of fam and everything that requires it with pkg_deinstall -R fam* , then adjust /etc/make.conf to have WITH_FAM_SYSTEM=gamin and reinstall all above packages one by one 2) write a shell script to automate all those steps above So my question boils down to this, am I on the good track? Are there other alternatives (or caveats) Thanks
