The dependencies for many ports are different between 4.x and 5.x, which is why there are two different INDEX files generated. The different depencies are mostly due to: - the standard system compiler being gcc-3.4.x in FreeBSD-5.x and gcc-2.95.4 under FreeBSD-4.x: gcc-3.4.x is much stricter about C++ syntax and not entirely code compatible with gcc-2.95.4, so there's quite a few ports that depend on installing one of the gcc ports in order to compile under 4.x - changes in the threading support between 4.x and 5.x - various ports that only work under 5.x or that only work under 4.x, usually related to one or both of the previous points Cheers, Matthew --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK --b5gNqxB1S1yM7hjW Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFBYr3fiD657aJF7eIRAs1cAJ4rlTDApne/tlloU7G5a/0U1WcQRQCeMRGN +kCCAg02fuXH16Id0Omwb/Q= =SBT6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --b5gNqxB1S1yM7hjW--
