With increasing frequency, I find that when I try to make something under /usr/ports, the source file tarchive isn't even available out there anymore. I'm running 3.4-RELEASE (hey, it seemed the most stable choice back when I installed it :-} ). I tried to update my whole /usr/ports tree (my first and only attempt to cvsup something), but that broke everything -- I think the included files (like "bsd.port.mk") are too different? My first question: was there, in fact, a major reconfiguration of the ports system since the days of 3.4-RELEASE? The real question: what's the cleanest/easiest/best way to upgrade my /usr/ports? (short of re-installing a newer OS, which I'm sure would do it, but seems a little excessive :-) Thanks in advance! -------- David Harnick-Shapiro <david.harnick-shapiro@firstworld.com> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
