To change the package version used by the pkg_add -r command run sysinstall, go to the options screen and set the "release name" to "4.9-STABLE". -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Clay Holladay Sent: Tuesday, May 04, 2004 2:27 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: freebsd-stable packages on freebsd-release-4.9 I upgraded my ports tree with cvsup using "." for the release so I would get the latest ports. pkg_add -r downloads packages from freebsd-release-4.9 and portupgrade -aPPR fails because it tries to download packages with version numbers matching the ports tree from the freebsd-release-4.9 directory. Compiling from ports give up to date software. I know that ports only supports freebsd-stable and freebsd- current, so is this what should be happening? Or should pkg_add -r be in synch with ports. Is it possible to use freebsd stable packages on freebsd-4.9, or do I need to always compile from ports? _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
