Lahaye [mailto:lahaye@users.sourceforge.net] Sent: Friday, July 13, 2001 10:47 AM To: FreeBSD Questions Subject: How to update my ports directories ? Hi, I'm a newbie; moved from Linux to FreeBSD last week. What is the freeBSD-way of updating the /usr/ports ? That problem arose when I needed gtkextra-0.99.15, while the FreeBSD 4.3 installation only comes with the gtkextra-0.99.14 port. I found the 0.99.15 port on the web: www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/x11-toolkits/gtkextra/ from where I downloaded all the files manually, but ended during the make with an error complaining that one of the patch files failed. I assume having made a mistake by manually grabbing the port. Right? Is there an (automatic) FreeBSD-way of updating ports ? E.g. Mandrake has that "MandrakeUpdate" tool, for those who are (distantly) familiar with that linux distro. Thanks for hints and please keep in mind I'm new to FreeBSD. Regards, Rob.
