--=-hPxJH5JZLrqx2xGaqy50 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="=-SYM9qPojmA6X4p1sV9ko" --=-SYM9qPojmA6X4p1sV9ko Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable For those of you running older versions of FreeBSD ( < 4.7), here is an alternate fix for the recent port install problem people were seeing.=20 This fix involves adding a new port, pkg_install, which is a snapshot of the -CURRENT pkg_install code. This port can change periodically as new pkg_* features are added that bsd.port.mk depends on. I am looking for testers to make sure this works where it needs to. So, if you're running FreeBSD 4.x < 4.7, please give this a shot. To apply this fix, do: # cd /usr/ports/sysutils # sh /path/to/pkg_install.sh # cd /usr/ports # patch -p < /path/to/bsd.port.mk.diff Then try to install some ports. If you really want to make sure everything is good, you'll back out the bsd.port.mk patches Kris committed last night, then apply this fix. Using this method, we are free to take advantage of more powerful pkg_* features without the risk of breaking older (yet unsupported) versions of FreeBSD. This fix represents work done by Oliver Eikemeier <eikemeier@fillmore-labs.com> in ports/54478.
