My guess is you use CVSup to get the ports. CVSup will not remove the old pkg/ and patches/ directory when they are empty. The new format puts all patches in the files/ directory and pkg/* has been moved to pkg-*, leaving the patches/ and pkg/ directories empty. bsd.port.mk checks for the presence of patches/ and pkg/ and if it finds them prints the warning. You can make your ports tree work again by doing the following: cd /usr/ports && rm -rf */*/pkg/ && rm -rf */*/patches/ Brett ***************************************************** Dr. Brett Taylor brett@peloton.runet.edu * Dept of Chem and Physics * Curie 39A (540) 831-6147 * ***************************************************** To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
