Even in 8.3-RC2 you can find the following lines in /etc/portsnap.conf INDEX INDEX-6 DESCRIBE.6 INDEX INDEX-7 DESCRIBE.7 INDEX INDEX-8 DESCRIBE.8 At last on my 8.3-RC2 system INDEX-6 will be renewed per default during "portsnap update" So if you use portsnap you have a real chance to get INDEX-6 but ports are not guarantied to build since most of the 6.x specific parts are already removed from the ports tree. If you want to try portsnap rename /usr/ports to ports.old so you have your old tree as fall-back. -- Regards, olli ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Can someone tell me how solve this? upgrade to FreeBSD 7.3 or 7.4 6.4 is not supported by ports tree anymore. Not only will you have problems with INDEX, but a lot of ports you want to (re)?build will have dependencies or libraries that don't exist in 6.4. (its not all that painful. build a 7.3/7.4 kernel with 6.x support, install it like 'make kernel KODIR=/boot/testkernel' nextboot -f testkernel (i think that is syntax) if it boots, follow instructions on rebuilding world and ports, make sure you put 7.3/4 kernel back on: make installkernel. if it doesn't boot, well, power cycle and it will boot your old 6.4 (but, ps, strange, I have a test machine still running 6.4 and I test ports on it. never had that issue) but the real answer is, upgrade so you don't have support problems. -- Michael Scheidell, CTO >*| * SECNAP Network Security Corporation d: +1.561.948.2259 w: http://people.freebsd.org/~scheidell ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
