Hi all, I'm doing some reading/research to check out FreeBSD. I have installed on a virtual machine. Just have some questions for the experts on LUAU.
Why is it that when I initially add a package using 'pkg_add' it doesn't grab the latest version for that package? For example, I installed firefox (installs version 1.5.0.1) and I immediately require an upgrade via Ports as the version it installs is out-of-date and insecure. How do you keep the /usr/ports directory small? On my test install it's over 1.1GB even after running portsclean with all the available options. As it is, I dedicated 4GB of space to my virtual machine and 1.2 GB to the /usr partition. So when I run 'portupgrade firefox' it runs out of disk space. If you _knew you needed to install some huge port that would take up a lot of disk space to build (say Firefox), can you make the ports directory really small? Or can you have a _very minimal Ports directory? Thanks, ~ Julian _______________________________________________ LUAU@lists.hosef.org mailing list http://lists.hosef.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luau
