Perhaps a more important question is: What problems with local.sqlite were you having that made it necessary to delete? Backups notwithstanding, surely database repopulation should be possible without reinstalling all ports.

I am trying to migrate from 44bsd-rdist to net/rdist6 and have a problem. Take an example Distfile like this: ==================================================== HOSTS = ( root@ftp root@proxy) FILES = ( /etc/periodic.conf.local /usr/share/skel/dot.cshrc ) configs: ${FILES} -> ${HOSTS} vcs: src/configs/complete.tcsh :: /etc/complete.tcsh notify sudakov@sibptus.ru; ==================================================== I expect sudakov@sibptus.ru to receive a notification only if src/configs/complete.tcsh is newer than /etc/complete.tcsh. In reality, sudakov@sibptus.ru receives all the crap about updating different hosts every time rdist6 is run. What am I doing wrong? I think 44bsd-rdist did not spam me like that. Something must have changed in the logic, but what? -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN sip:sudakov@sibptus.tomsk.ru
