Hi! I had some problems with my /var/db/pkg and lost a few +CONTENTS files. I now want to pkg_delete those ports and reinstall them. Problem obviously is that I need a +CONTENTS file for pkg_delete to work. I can delete files manually, if I had a pkg-plist for the version I have installed. The problems are as far as I could get with imake-4.2.0_1 and tcl-8.0.5. Now, I thought that I could go to cvsweb and look for imake-4.2.0_1 and be done. However it seems that I can only get to files based on their revision or CVS tags. Am I missing something? If I'm correct and -4.2.0_1 means PORTVERSION=4.2.0 and PORTREVISION=1, I think that revision 1.22 of the imake-4 Makefile could be the one I need. However, later revisions (up to 1.25) also match 4.2.0_1. Question: how do I get to the pkg-plist corresponding to this Makefile? They don't share the revision number, were not modified at similar dates ... I hope you see my confusion. If you have ideas on how to better use cvsweb, I'd be glad to hear them. Also, if you happen to know of a better way of deinstalling files for which no +CONTENTS is available, and from a port that is currently at a newer version, please let me know. Thanks in advance for any help, Fernan -- F e r n a n A g u e r o http://genoma.unsam.edu.ar/~fernan
