I few days ago I got a message about a problem with the mutt version and it stated I could upgrade with the portcheckout utility to a fixed version. The message indicated portcheckout was the best way, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Read all I could find about portcheckout and still don't really understand it, but set and enviroment for cvs(another story) and issued portcheckout mutt This came back with several versions of mutt. I then issued portcheckout mutt-1.2.5_1.tgz It appeared to download and then said to "cd /ports/mail/mutt and issue make all install clean" So I changed to /usr/ports/mail/mutt and issued the command. First message was it couldn't find /ports/distfiles/mutt so it went and downloaded mutt-1.2.5.1(different from 1.2.5_1). How did I ask it to do this? Now it's still downloading all sorts of stuff and installing who knows what. How do I remove all this stuff, as my hard drive is limited? Are there clear instructions somewhere on cvs and portcheckout?(yes I've read what I could find on the web & man pages which hasn't been clear or helpful) Must be a better way to upgrade mutt. If I just download the mutt-1.2.5_1.tgz, from the ftp site, do I just copy the extracted files over the existing mutt stuff and run a plain make clean from the directory? Would this have been the correct way to upgrade and install? thx, - Jim McIver To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
