on all other servers I cvsup the src and ports tree, but for some reason the internet connection at the location of this particular server gets kicked when I start cvsup. so I had to resort to this method. I am not entirely convinced that it is a stale patch issue for 2 reasons. 1) I have untar'd the same file on 2 different servers and only this one has issues updating the ports 2) I have tar'd up the /usr/ports dir from a different server that updates via cvsup. The original server updates fine but when untar'd on this particular server the same exact patch errors appear. which leads me to believe the error is outside the ports tree itself. -tomoki On 6/6/05, Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org> wrote: > On Mon, Jun 06, 2005 at 09:46:35AM +0900, FreeBSD MailingLists wrote: > > Yes, Everyday I try this I grab the latest copy of ports.tar.gz from a > > near by server.
