Like so many others, my Netscape 40P5 is about to expire. Having received the "New Ports..." list from the maillist, I saw linux-netscape 4.01b6. Using the URL in the mail I downloaded the port file and had the following result. Running 2.2.1R (applied the 2.2.1 to 2.2-stable upgrade kit (last changed: July 21, 1997)). Downloaded and untared in /tmp </tmp># tar -xzvf linux-netscape4.tar.gz pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/ports/www/linux-netscape4/ pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/ports/www/linux-netscape4/files/ pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/ports/www/linux-netscape4/files/mailcap ?? why the pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/ in the path. If I had been in /usr/ports this would have made some unneeded levels. move down to the first directory with a Makefile and did <ports/www># cd linux-netscape4/ <www/linux-netscape4># d Makefile files/ patches/ pkg/ scripts/ <www/linux-netscape4># make >> communicator-v401b6-export.x86-unknown-linux1.2.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist on this system. >> Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/communicator/4.01/4.01b6/english/unix/other/.

Looking for the patch-aa gives <linux_lib/patches># pwd /usr/ports/emulators/linux_lib/patches <linux_lib/patches># file patch-aa patch-aa: broken symbolic link to /cdrom/ports/emulators/linux_lib/patches/patch-aa </linux_lib/patches># cd /cdrom/ports/emulators/linux_lib/ <emulators/linux_lib># ls CVS Makefile TRANS.TBL files pkg THERE IS NO patches directory....... Another question is that this linux_lib-2.3 file seems to have new copies of all libraries, as well as things like /var/X11R6/... rather than /usr/X11R6 Is this just a lost cause, and we FreeBSD users just drop from the WWW.
