Many people have problems installing/updating programs on FreeBSD and report them here on nearly a daily basis. That is certainly not news. There are all ready reported problems with the "libnotify and libproxy" updates. Are you inferring that no one should update a port until it has been verified as compatible and in proper working order or else risk having it reverted? Isn't it the responsibility of who ever releases said update into the ports system to verify if correctness? If not, then there is a serious deficiency in the entire ports system release mechanism. A problem that is becoming more and more profound on a nearly daily basis that even a simple perusal of the daily list messages would verify. And where do you get off accusing me of violating Steve's time? He volunteered an answer, abet not the one I was seeking, but never-the-less a response. I certainly did not seek his counsel out. -- Jerry ✌ jerry+ports@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
