Hi;
I installed 3.1 and was going to start building new ports when I found
that installing the complete ports tree was a requirement !!. I am not
interested in extracting the complete tree, after all this is already
packaged.
The fact is that since the ports system is now on /usr/ports/Mk, and
these files are not available by default, nor are they on the live
filesystem , I had to start installing the complete ports tree and when
sysinstall finished installing the /usr/ports/Mk dir, I abruptly stopped
the installation with Ctrl-C. There clearly has to be a different way of
installing the base files, either a "base port tools" package should be
added, or the ports distribution should be installable by branches like
src is.
hope this helps for a future release,
Pedro.
