Upgraded the halfdead workstation today from 4.0-R (some may recall that telnet quit resolving hostnames, with no reasonable explaination..), using /stand/sysinstall...yes, I know its a cheat but i've done it a dozen times without problems. And I've yet to figure out cvsup..nor do i have the time do pull the machine out of the loop for a make world..anywya. I see that the ports structure has changed...and when i attempted a 'make' on one, it told me exactly that. "your port uses an old layout. please update it...." Some digging in the bsd.port.mk showed where it was checking for the old directories and files...a quick ls -l of the ports directory showed..wow. all of the /new/ stuff, with recent dates....and the old stuff, with less then recent dates!! So, shuffling the old stuff off into a temporary directory, make again, and it starts fine. Of course, all of the depends have old structures, so this is really not an acceptable fix... I suppose i could rm -r /usr/ports and find a way to reinstall the thing. Perhaps the upgrade /should/ have rm -r'd it to begin with..hmm. Anyway. ....david -- David Raistrick Digital Wireless Communications davidr@dwcinet.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
