Don't use sysinstall, portupgrade and pkg_fetch are smarter than sysinstall= =20 and will fetch the latest available -stable packages from the right locatio= n=20 off the ftp-servers. Install and update the ports-collection with cvsup. Install=20 sysutils/portupgrade, then use portupgrade with the option -P to update you= r=20 ports/packages (-P will fetch a package if it's at all available, otherwise= =20 it will compile from source, -PP will only use packages and fail it none is= =20 available). For example 'portupgrade -aPP' would update all (-a) your=20 installed ports and packages by trying to download packages (-P) and fail i= f=20 there is no package available for the current version of a port in the=20 ports-tree (-PP). For more details, see the portupgrade manpage. Packages for -stable are updated on a regular basis, but only ever so often= =2E=20 Don't expect a package to be available in the order of days after a port ha= s=20 been upgraded. =2D-=20 | Michael Nottebrock | KDE on FreeBSD | ,ww | | michaelnottebrock@gmx.net | --- | ,wWWCybaWW_) | | --- | http://freebsd.kde.org | free `WSheepW' | | http://tigress.com/lofi | --- | node II II | --Boundary-02=_QFV0+j/vWHg3ESo Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQA+0VFQXhc68WspdLARArqLAKCH0tw7V6ZA6xKDgGXg3lm10CrH/QCgpWAK pZenGOnWgXNkcA+uFs3xNKc= =JppF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Boundary-02=_QFV0+j/vWHg3ESo--
