But I just thought it would be easier to cd /usr/ports/shells/bash1 && make install-pkg. Since I can't do pkg_add -r bash (pkg_add -r bash defaults to bash2, but what if I want bash1 for the sake of the argument). I'd have to ftp to ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/packages/All and see what the full name of it is, and do a pkg_add -r ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/packages/All/bash-2.04.tgz, or bash-1.14.7.tgz as the case may be. Guess it's just a matter of either cd'ing to a ports tree and doing one command for a package, or doing an ftp lookup on the name first, then typing out the full name of the package. Dunno if what I said makes any sense. O'well, I'm probably just being pedantic. > > /Mikko > > > On Mon, 2 Apr 2001, Mikko Tyolajarvi wrote: > > > > > In local.freebsd.questions you write: > > > > > > >--- Mark Sergeant <msergeant@snsonline.net> wrote: > > > >> I have to say I like the current system of cd /usr/ports/whatever = ; make > > > >> install clean a lot more than I ever did like debians apt-get. > > > >> Mind you I also have cvsup -g -L 2 ports-supfile as a crontab entr= y > > > >> running > > > >> once a week. > > > >> > > > >> Cheers, > > > >> > > > >> Mark > > > > > > >thanx, I guess I was too lazy to study both well enough. > > > > > > "pkg_add -r <pkgname>" is a really lazy way to install binary package= s. > > > > > > $.02, > > > /Mikko > > > > > > > > > Mikko Ty=F6l=E4j=E4rvi_______________________________________mikko@rsase= curity.com > RSA Security > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
