perryh> running 8.1-RELEASE (and not 8-STABLE) [ ... ] perryh> /packages-8.1-release/
AH HA !!!! The .message file contains the solution (I hope): "packages-*-release directories are built from the ports collection shipped with the release, and are not updated thereafter. packages-*-stable and packages-*-current are updated roughly once a week." "stable" should be renamed "bleeding-edge" to warn dunderheads like me that think stable means stable rather than unstable. And maybe web browsers should automagically display the .message file. THANK YOU !!! If only debugging X11 were so easy... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
