So as not to waste time, I checkout the ports tree rather than using the old copy on the cdrom, which I *hope* (and assume) will work. When I went to build bash2, however, it failed, complaining about some stuff relating to sh_malloc not being found. Unfortunately, I didn't save it and the system is upgraded now so I can't get the exact error. Although version consistency is always a problem, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a port to work with the most recent couple of point releases at the very least, and they really ought to work with all versions of the major release. IMHO. >How-To-Repeat: Install 4.7 release from cd mv /usr/ports /usr/src/ports ln -s /usr/src/ports /usr/ports checkout RELENG_4 ports and src cd /usr/src/ports/shells/bash2 make install >Fix: Workaround is to checkout the source, make world and reboot before building bash2. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports-bugs" in the body of the message
