* From: Bill Fenner <fenner@research.att.com> * >I think [that sysinstall shouldn't install a /var/db/pkg/.mkversion]! * >Too evil. * * But since it doesn't, the ports system doesn't work on freshly installed * systems. I don't think that's a particularly desirable state. I don't think anyone is arguing that the current state of affairs is particularly desirable. ;) It's just that the snaps are currently broken while we sort out the issues. Speaking of which, are releases still broken? Now that I think about it, I don't think sysinstall has anything to do with it -- the release uses installworld to populate the staging area, so the system should already have a timestamp of the build date. -W To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
