Polstra & Co., Inc. Seattle, Washington USA Will do. "script -a typescript make update" is running as I write. Although I can guess as to what /etc/make.conf variables are relevant (the cvsup related ones), I can see other reasonable permutations; are the cvsup variables the one's you want? Also, I run "make update" quite frequently (at least once a day) so you can definitely eliminate the old /usr/ports tree a cause. I didn't have the problem until last night, so something changed then. I'll get the stuff up as soon as the run is done. jmc To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
