Hey! I haven't tried fetchindex or portmanager. I'll try them now. As for the make.PORTS, I run them inside screen, so incase I need to answer something, it won't continue untill I do. But do you guys have a suggestion to how a more efficient make.PORTS could look like? Now I'll include cd /usr/ports && make fetchindex into it but how about the order and amount of instances of each command etc? Thanks. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Hinrichs" <jlh@cox.net> To: "Fafa Diliha Romanova" <fteg@london.com> Subject: Re: portsdb -uU error (I also need some tips) Date: Sun, 13 Mar 2005 12:55:25 -0600 >=20 > Fafa Diliha Romanova wrote: > > Hello! > > > > There's been a lot of mess in my ports lately. > > I want to get rid of this: > > > > pkg_delete: package bsdpan-libwww-perl-5.800 has no origin recorded > > pkg_delete: package bsdpan-libwww-perl-5.800 has no origin recorded > > > > Which pops up every time I install/deinstall a port or package. > > I have done a 'pkgdb -F' which seemed to work. > > > > Upon 'portsdb -uU' I get: > > > > ######################### > > > > Updating the ports index ...
