X-BeenThere: freebsd-ports@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Porting software to FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 23 Nov 2010 01:09:41 -0000 Hi, I'm sorry to bother everyone here, but either I'm a cretin or the ports management commands are ... non-obvious. Or worse. Here's what I need: a working, installable version of openoffice.org . The ports system on my FreeBSD 7.1 (which I need to keep stable for a few months) has only been willing to download a version that has security problems and will not build. The makefile version is 1.324 for openoffice.org-3 and 1.320 for openoffice.org-2 . I have issued a number of portupgrade commands, but portupgrade doesn't even seem to know of the existance of anything later, much less openoffice.org-3-RC: q5: toor:ports# portupgade -fN openoffice.org-3-RC ** No such package or port: openoffice.org-3-RC First question: What do I do to make this system give me the latest version of open office, or at least a version that will compile? Short of reading through every bit of source for the ports management system, is there any documentation explaining where the databases are on the local system and how they are (supposed to be) updated from the masters on freebsd.org, so that I can figure the mess out for myself and not bother the experts who have more work to do? Thank you for your help. Mark Terribile materribile@yahoo.com
