bfoz@glue.umd.edu said: :- Did you update the /usr/ports/Mk directory as well? Is there a posted update to the /usr/ports/Mk directory at http://www.freebsd.org/ports/ ? Answer: No. That is why I said: :- Presumably there needs to be a ports update kit for 4.0? I quote: "The current ports tree officially supports only FreeBSD-current and FreeBSD-stable. Consequently, you may need to update a few files on your FreeBSD system to make use of ports developed after your version of FreeBSD was released. Please install one of the following depending on the release you are running. Also, if you are running FreeBSD-stable or FreeBSD-current that is more than a few days old, you are recommended to install an appropriate upgrade kit as well; the ports system is changing very fast at times. 2.2.1 to 2.2-stable upgrade kit For users of 2.2.1-release or 2.2-stable between 2.2.1-release and 2.2.2-release 2.2.2 to 2.2-stable upgrade kit For users of 2.2.2-release or 2.2-stable between 2.2.2-release and 2.2.5-release 2.2.5 to 2.2-stable upgrade kit For users of 2.2.5-release or 2.2-stable between 2.2.5-release and 2.2.6-release 2.2.7 to 2.2-stable upgrade kit For users of 2.2.6-release, 2.2.7-release, 2.2.8-release or 2.2-stable after 2.2.6-release 3.0 to 3-stable upgrade kit For users of 3.0-release or 3.0-stable after 3.0-release 3.1 to 3-stable upgrade kit For users of 3.1-release or 3.1-stable after 3.1-release 3.2 to 3-stable upgrade kit For users of 3.2-release or 3.2-stable after 3.2-release 3.3 or 3.4 to 3-stable upgrade kit For users of 3.3/3.4-release or 3.4-stable after 3.4-release These are FreeBSD packages; please use pkg_add to install them. That should enable you to use all the ports listed here. Note that it will only change just enough files to enable ports/packages to be used; for a full upgrade to 3-stable, please refer to the synchronizing your source tree section of the handbook. A full upgrade is recommended, especially if you are still using anything earlier than 2.2.7-release. Also, the 2.2.X line is now officially unsupported by ports-current; you are `on your own' if you wish to use the ports listed here, as opposed to the ones that were included in the release, on your 2.2.X system." -- Robert Withrow -- (+1 978 288 8256) BWithrow@BayNetworks.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
