Yes, the ports collection has changed format slightly. See Q12 and Q13 in the cvsup FAQ on www.polstra.com for explanations of why your cvsup didn't delete all of the files it was supposed to, and how to fix it. Kris P.S. Support for the 3.x branch is not going to be actively maintained in the very near future (packages are no longer being generated, for example) -- for such an old branch, limited developer resources are better focused elsewhere. Over time it is likely that more ports will fail to build on 3.x machines. --p4qYPpj5QlsIQJ0K Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE6n1otWry0BWjoQKURAmF7AKCBTjRXyKHX00cgNg9aIFjAzx49bwCfWuwK EtCgphesf9KBBD7zt1n3I3Q= =Jx0z -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --p4qYPpj5QlsIQJ0K-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
