Just as a best practice you might want to consider running a weekly cvsup out of cron. You should probably always run it before installing anything out of ports, but if you have it as a weekly scheduled task, it will decrease the time it takes to run when you ³need² to run it.
Of course portsnap also rocks the party. I¹m just old school and stuck in cvsup land. -J On 5/12/08 1:06 AM, "Da Rock" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On Mon, 2008-05-12 at 08:03 +0100, Glyn Millington wrote: >> > Da Rock <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: >> > >>> > > On Mon, 2008-05-12 at 08:02 +0200, Roland Smith wrote: >>>> > >> On Mon, May 12, 2008 at 09:46:31AM +1000, Da Rock wrote: >>>>> > >> > I may be not thinking straight due to a head cold- in which case just >>>>> > >> > tell me so- but building Imagemagick-6.4.0.7 from ports is failing.
