Hi, Get the ports back. #/stand/sysinstall What you have below in your cvsup file (assuming this is your ports-supfile) seems ok. After you have your ports back again, in an xterm window or in plain text mode, and as root, type this; cvsup -g -L 2 /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile That will get you up to date in the ports. Just a suggestion, next time don't rm -rf /usr/ports Good luck, Lanny On January 15, 2001 08:21 pm, Christopher Farley wrote: > Wim Livens (wim@livens.net) wrote: > > I want to keep ports up to date: > > > > FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE > > installed ports distribution > > > > (at this point, building ports work) > > > > supfile: > > > > *default host=cvsup.uk.FreeBSD.org > > *default base=/usr > > *default prefix=/usr > > *default release=cvs tag=. > > *default delete use-rel-suffix > > *default compress > > ports-base > > ports-games > > > > # cvsup supfile > > (seems to work) > > > > /usr/ports/games/xbomber# make # (or any other port, even none games) > > Error: your port uses an old layout.
