I have submitted a bug report to update libxml++ in the ports tree here: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=218165 I will continue trying to build a port for scram again once libxml++ has been updated. Out of interest, I am a TÜV FSEng (#6282/13), so I was very interested to hear about your program.

[handbook] Replace mergemaster(8) with etcupdate(8)
Hi everyone, I was hoping I could interest a few people into reviewing a patch I have submitted for the handbook, to update the handbook "Chapter 23. Updating and Upgrading FreeBSD" to replace the instructions for using mergemaster(8) with etcupdate(8). I would be grateful if people could have a look and give comments / recommendations for improvements https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=206866 Regards, Ben -- From: Benjamin Woods woods...@gmail.com ___ freebsd-doc@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-doc To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-doc-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
