Hi
I just updated my ports and installed Firefox. I have installed
Firefox version 0.9.3. How can I update it to version 1.0?
Thanks
PS: I am running FreeBSD 5.3
Your post is a bit ambiguous. did you have 0.9.3 on your system and
wanted to upgrade to 1.0 or did you update your ports but it
installed 0.9.3?
What I would do:
my ports-sup file:
#*default host=cvsup14.us.FreeBSD.org
*default host=cvsup12.us.FreeBSD.org
#*default host=cvsup1.FreeBSD.org
#*default host=cvsup.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=.
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
ports-all
-----------------------------
> su
# cvsup -g -L 2 /root/ports-supfile
(normally i'd just run pkg_version -v |grep "<" and if needed
portupgrade after cvsuping, if I was upgrading something like Gnome
or KDE i'd exit X)
# cd /usr/ports/www/firefox
# make deinstall
# more M*
# make WITH_OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS=yes install clean
# exit

Could his problem be that he has simply not fetched the index?
I normally do:
# cvsup -g -L2 /usr/ports-supfile
..
..
# cd /usr/ports
# make fetchindex
# portsdb -u
and then I would try reinstalling it using the method above.
I don't think that would keep him from installing the newer version
after he cvsuped, system might complain or manually rebuild the index
but thats it. After the portupgrade problem with index and how long
it takes to rebuild the index I now do this now too. also I run pkgdb
-F or pkgdb -Fu and portsclean -C before running portupgrade -arRwW
and after I run portupgrade I run portsclean -CDD and then clean out
the old libs, that is...if portupgrade had no errors. He emailed me
and said he was installing it for the first time, I think he just
didn't do the cvsup part correctly.
Okey, I just updated my ports following your instructions. I saw in
the Makefile file that the port version is equal to 1.0 ( before was
equal to 0.9). Now, what should I do next::
Desinstall Firefox and install it again and then I run pkgdb
or
First run pkgbd and then install Firefox
Desinstall Firefox and install it again and then I run pkgdb -F. umm but
since you updated your port sources I'd just run portupgrade, you do
have it installed?, and upgrade everything, it will take awail and if
portupgrade bitch's about py24-* (used for gnome, gtk stuff) you'll have
to umm I think manually deinstall and then reinstall it or pkgdb -F or
something like that, I can't remember. just know that when they change
the port from py23-* to py24-* portupgrade didn't like it and would not
upgrade the port. its up to you if you just want to rebuild firefox or
do the whole shebang.
