I have several "newbie" type questions:
First, why aren't all GNU programs included in the PORTS collection? (in
particular, GCC)
Secondly, when I installed GCC-2.7.2.1, I did a ./configure then a make,
then a make install - after this is there any reason to keep the
gcc-2.7.2.1 directory around? I'm assuming after the install that I don't
need anything else from there (is that also true for any other program I
configure/make/make install)?
Finally, I'm running 2.1.6 - if I want to update to 2.1.6.1, what's
involved? Do I start from scratch, or is there an update, or what (and
what are diff files for?)? How about upgrading to 2.2 or current or stable?
One, two, ten or however many answers you can spare would be appreciated.
