I am curious. The manual chapter on ports tree upgrading doesn't mention these INDEX files. Is there not a way to update those with the rest of the Ports tree? I guess I just figured they would automatically be updated with the tree they represent. or, are they maintained outside of the ports tree by portupgrade? I'm a bit new to the FreeBSD thing, but like what I've seen so far. Oh, also, I've upgraded to OpenSSH-3.4p1 on most of my other servers and am wondering what the general thought of replacing the OpenSSH in the base install with the OpenSSH in ports is? thanks, Dave On Tue, Jun 25, 2002 at 09:43:53PM -0700 or thereabouts, Kent Stewart wrote: > > > Darren Pilgrim wrote: > > > Aaron Burke wrote: > > > >>>-----Original Message----- > >>>From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > >>>[mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Darren Pilgrim > >>>Sent: Tuesday, June 25, 2002 06:16 PM > >>>To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > >>>Subject: Updating my ports tree? > >>> > >>> > >>>I have a 4.5-R machine for which I'd like to update my ports tree. > >>>I really just want the current openssh-portable port, but I figure I > >>>might as well update the whole tree while I'm at it.
