I know that this is not a solution to devel/fam, but I just thought that
I'd mention what I did last night when I ran into this:
1. removed devel/fam (cd /usr/ports/devel/fam && make deinstall)
2. changed /etc/make.conf:
WITH_FAM_SYSTEM=gamin
You might want to add this line if you don't already have it, but you
most likely have it.
3. cd /usr/ports/devel/gamin && make install
4. pkgdb -F (and replaced all fam to gamin)
At this point I was ready to check to see if any of the ports that had
required fam didn't work, openoffice, xine, gcalctool, etc, and I would
have rebuilt all of those. But there was no problem.
Anyway, I have a question: Why are there two ports here that do the same
thing? Some of my ports specify fam, some specify gamin, and of course I
have to have the WITH_FAM_SYSTEM var in make.conf to remove conflicts.
If the two DON'T do the same thing, what is the difference? Just asking.
