Best wishes for the new year. I decided I needed texlive so I installed portshaker with the intention of adding texlive to my ports tree. After installing portshaker and running portshaker -v I found the existing ports tree /usr/ports/**** deleted and portshaker had created a new directory /var/cache/portshaker with the following sub directories: bsd_sharp freebsd_texlive freebsd_texlive_releng ports The /var/cache/portshaker/ports was empty /bsd-sharp contained a ports hierarchy but with a very limited range of ports within the hierarchy. freebsd_texlive contained .svn , Tools, print freebsd_texlive_releng contained .svn, MOVED, print I was expecting the default portshaker.conf to have retained the original /usr/ports/ tree and put the texlive ports in /usr/ports/prints - however finding my original tree deleted was an unexpected outcome. Would that be due to a run error on an incorrectly configured postshaker.conf? 1. How should portshaker.conf be set for an appropriate configuration 2. I have now rebuilt the /usr/ports/ 3. Have not deleted /var/cache/portshaker/* How to proceed now? Many thanks in advance for advice.
