OK, that didn't do it, but I figured it out, at least my problem. There were several messages in the archives about this same problem, but this is the one that solved it: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2005-October/101080.html In about:config, print.printer_list had no string when I checked it. I entered the string (without quotes) "lp hpdjet" (hpdjet being the name of my printer in /etc/printcap), and I got my list back, including CUPS/lp (was there before the fix, and doesn't work, but I don't use CUPS), PostScript/default (was there before the fix, doesn't work), PostScript/hpdjet (reappeared, works), and another printer in printcap I entered previously, which I guess it couldn't see if there were no string in that particular preference, but I didn't specify it in print.printer_list. So, guess that string has to be set for any printer in /etc/printcap for it to work with the default UNIX print daemon, and somehow that string was stripped or not carried over with the upgrade to 1.5. Incidentally, one of my printers on the drop-down list in Firefox from /etc/printcap is having the issue described here: http://www-math.mit.edu/~dave/bugs/#paper_mozilla I am not sure how to resolve this, but it's a duplicate entry of another printer, so it's not a major issue. - jt ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
RE: BSD vs Linux Threads
It probably is because mysql is optimized for the Linux threading implementation. Also keep in mind that freebsd filesystems are mounted async by default, not sync by default like Linux, as a result FreeBSD always does worse in these stupid bakeoffs you read about in the trade rags. You can install the linux threading package under FreeBSD's linux emulation and try it that way. Keep in mind also that you are talking minute performance differences on the newest multi-gigahertz systems. Furthermore I will point out that unless your database is smaller than physical memory of the server, then the argument between mysql threading and non-threading is a completely moot issue since the hits to the disk will be the bottleneck. There is a lot to optimizing databases. I suggest you build you server and if it's too slow, then post to the mysql forums, you will get a lot of feedback as to how to optimize.

RE: FreeBSD telnetd and Microsoft Internet Explorer
Whoah whoah whoah Guys, I have several 5.4 servers. Hitting them with IE 6.0.2800.1106 ftp client I get NO PROBLEMS seeing dot files. I DO NOT see the behavior that the OP claims. NOR do I see the behavior that you guys are claiming either of IE's FTP client being bad. Nor do I see this behavior on a 6.0 FreeBSD server. I respectfully submit that both you and the OP are off your rockers. You guys, probably because you don't know how to setup Windows properly. (which is understandable) The OP probably because he doesen't know how to setup FreeBSD properly, plus has borked some settting in his IE. Note he hasn't posted the IE version. Note he hasn't setup a test login on his FTP server and invited anyone to try it and see if they are getting the same problem. Can you say "Troll bait"? I knew you could. AND YES, I did try a few FTP sites on that URL. No problem with any of them. AND NO I do not recommend IE as a FTP client either. And I respectfully submit that a recommendation against IE from someone who must apparently know how to set it up properly should IMHO carry more weight than one from someone who apparently doesen't know how to set it up properly. If you think IE's FTP client is so bad then post a few sites and I'll go to them and put up some screen captures of my IE. Go ahead, prove I'm wrong. I'd like to see it crash. I dare you.

The errors you get are really weird.
Maybe you should check if there isn't a quote (") missing somewhere before.
I'm currently running jdk15 on current, and never had problems with it.
If you still have the problem, could you send me the file
/usr/ports/java/jdk15/work/control/build/bsd-i586/gensrc/sun/nio/cs/StandardCharsets.java
?
Could you also tell us which version of linux-jdk you have ?
Cheers,

Unfortunately this means it is going to be hard for you to completely remove it. Look into the example in the pkg_which manpage to see how to identify files that do not belong to any registered ports, but make sure to back up your system before you start to remove them (note: don't just remove them all blindly because some of those files may be legitimate).

Remove nvidia-driver port, then upgrade xorg-clients. After that you can reinstall nvidia-driver. I read the above as xorg-clients conflicts with nvidia-driver, if it was set this way here is what portmanager would do: 1) when upgrading xorg-clients finds conflicting port nvidia-driver installed and removes it unless user chooses otherwise before 5 minute timeout 2) Upgrade xorg-clients Athe this point something would have to have a dependency on nvidia-driver for it to be pulled back in automatically else the user is going to need to install it manaually... Well I can see how this situation is causing problems anyways... Has this issue been resolved yet?

If this is on a home connection and you plan to use it behind a router or something, you can put in pretty much anything for the hostname/domain (for example, mine is "amd64.localhost").

Re: install freebsd with usb keyboard
I'm trying to install 5.4 with a usb keyboard. I saw the suggestion below on freebsd.org, however the keyboard doesn't work to allow me to select option 7. Any suggestions? If you can't use your USB keyboard at the Boot Menu (which is where the infamous "Option 7" is), then your BIOS doesn't support the USB keyboard. Can you enter your BIOS setup program using the USB keyboard? If not, you'll have to boot with a PS/2 keyboard, and install FreeBSD. Then, add the line hint.atkbd.0.flags="0x1" to your /boot/device.hints file. After that, you can remove the PS/2 keyboard and use the USB keyboard... ~Dan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Troubleshooting a lockup
I run a headless machine that has sporadic lockup problems, and I need some advice on what I can do to gather enough information to give me some idea of what's causing it. The machine acts as a router, DNS, web server, mail server, nfs server, firewall, and lots of other services. These problems started occurring after I upgraded from FreeBSD 5.4 to 6.0 and installed a secondary hard drive controller. Before that it ran perfectly for months at a time. That's a lot of variables to rule out. When the lockups occur, both network interfaces just plain die. Also, if I bring over a monitor and plug it in, I can't get a video signal, even if I tap the keyboard to wake it up. The lights on the keyboard still work, so I don't believe the box is completely frozen. The only option I have is to hit the reset button. Inspection of /var/log/messages never gives me any clues, except for one time I saw one message about my rl0 interface getting a watchdog timeout, but that was only one time and I can't imagine why a failure on one network interface would cause both network interfaces to stop responding. Inspection of the httpd logs just gives me an idea of about what time the lockup occurred, since there's no activity after that point. I don't know of any other log files that might be of assistance. I thought about trying to configure a dump device, but I don't believe the machine is panicing, except perhaps when I hit the reset button. I may try to figure out some way to disable the power management on the video, hook up a monitor, and leave "top" running on it to see if that gives me any clues. I plan on googling for "serial terminal" this afternoon.

Something like Breeze for freebsd
Hi I have recently been taking a look at Macromedia's Breeze product and it seems to me a shame there is not an open source product that has the ability to lever flash interactive applications to provide an open source environment for delivering similar functionality. It seems that the Breeze "server" provides a back door channel for marketing of microsofts sql server and the majority of the remaining functionality could be delivered via an apache module. In view of the enormous benefits that Macromedia have gained from having their major product flash generously supported by the open sourtce community. I really feel the way they have structured their Breeze product line is a slap in the face to everyone who has worked to make flash adoptable by the open source community. I just wonder if anyone on this list has taken a look at the Breeze product range. I would dearly love to see an open source answer to Macromedia's "Breeze server" and its tool set. Its sole reliance on sql and its failure to provide a mysql/postgres interface could pehaps be offset by one of the tools that convert sql calls to mysql. I have no idea about how the remainder of the tool set could be replicated. david -- 40 yrs navigating and computing in blue waters.

Trouble upgrading ports collection
Hi all, I'm having a hard time upgrading my ports. I recently did a # cvsup -g -L 2 ports-supfile then did a # portupgrade -ar0 which took care of a good share of my ports. But quite a few were skipped or failed. There wasn't much concerning these particular ports in /usr/ports/UPDATING. I did a pkgdb -F and tried my luck with portupgrade -ar0 again. A few ports were then successfully updated. I updated some others manually with a make desinstall / make reinstall sequence, but I'm still stuck with 3 ports that refuse to upgrade : ** Listing the failed packages (*:skipped / !:failed) ! graphics/libpixman (libpixman-0.1.6) (invalid package name) ! multimedia/linux-realplayer (linux-realplayer-10.0.5) (uninstall error) * www/linuxpluginwrapper (linuxpluginwrapper-20050910) ! x11/kdelibs3 (kdelibs-3.4.2_1)(linker error) * x11-wm/kompmgr (kdebase-kompmgr-3.4.2) * graphics/kdegraphics3 (kdegraphics-3.4.2_1) * x11/kdebase3 (kdebase-3.4.2_2) * x11-themes/kdeartwork3 (kdeartwork-3.4.2) * sysutils/k3b (k3b-0.11.14) * devel/kdesdk3 (kdesdk-3.4.2) * www/kdewebdev (kdewebdev-3.4.2,2) * deskutils/superkaramba (superkaramba-0.36_1) * x11-themes/gtk-qt-engine (gtk-qt-engine-0.6_2) * java/eclipse (eclipse-3.1_3) * net/azureus (azureus-2.3.0.4_1) ---> Packages processed: 0 done, 272 ignored, 12 skipped and 3 failed Apparently, xorg-clients is needed.

You need to update portupgrade and the ruby dependencies and then force update the databases. I have hit this once in awhile and I have force built each one. I think there were cases where I manually had to build ruby to get around the database problem that is killing it. You can force update the databases with "portsdb -fu" and "pkgdb -fF". I do as little as possible until it works and each solution was different.

Re: cpufreq and changing driver
Marco Calviani wrote: Hi list, 2005/12/2, Bruno Ducrot <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I don't see why you can't run powerd more frequently, I do.. Unless your ACPI has a problem that means the transition is slow. I'm sure this could not be done under Linux without a lot of problems (it is required to use the /proc things and it's too slow in that case). I can't imagine that doing 5 (or even 50) syscalls a second is a big CPU load unless there is a specific problem with sysctls or the cpufreq infrastructure. If that's possible being not so intrusive with, say 50 syscalls under FreeBSD, then all I said above is indeed stupid crap. I run powerd like this -> /usr/sbin/powerd -i 90 -r 30 -a adaptive -b adaptive -n adaptive -p 200 Well, i've tried decreasing the polling interval, but there is an increased powerd cpu load: at 100ms polling interval the cpu load is to an astonishing 20% circa, which i think it's too much for a normal use. The sampling rate with ondemand governor in linux kernel is 10ms but cpufreqd is at 0.6% on average cpu load. powerd is not intended to do high speed polling. If you do that, your system will almost never be idle and so we can't save power via Cx. We don't need high speed sampling right now, we need a predictive algorithm. So until someone implements this, it's moot. -- Nate ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

"The Complete FreeBSD": errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. "The Complete FreeBSD" has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor "Installing and Running FreeBSD". Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing? Please let me know: I'm constantly updating it.

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2005/08/10 02:21:44 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"). Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

That is the central value of IETF standards. If the IETF standard is patented or copyrighted and the author retains the copyright then nobody can use it without the fear that the copyright holder might someday levy license fees, or withdraw his or her copyrighted material from the IETF standards. > I'm trying to create a license >that I believe would be acceptable to IETF contributors, and make it >aligned with BSD/GPL licenses. > If it is aligned with BSD/GPL then it is effectively in the public domain, with the exception that since copyright on it still exists, a court could someday make a ruling that would effect that. The legal status of "public domain" or "common property" has already been established. The legal status of stuff like GPL's viral licensing has not been established. BSD licensing is a bit more firmly established but keep in mind the actual BSD license gives copyright rights to the Regents of the University of California, Berkeley, NOT to the author (like the GPL does) so ultimately it's no different than any other copyright except that there's a gentlemen's agreement that UCB is never going to modify the copyright's licensing terms to be other than free. If you write a license that does not address who owns copyright, but tries to force the material under it to be open, you have created a GPL-style license. The problem with this is that the original owner and his heirs still hold copyright on the material and at some point could decide to withdraw their copyright from the GPL-licensed materials, at that point they might be able to get a court to invalidate the GPL-style-licensed material that is out there. If you write a license that makes copyright rights be held by IETF then you have created a BSD-style license. In that case the community is dependent on the IETF continuing to be a good copyright steward (as long as the copyright rights exist) just as the community is dependent on UCB being a good copyright steward. If you write a license that declares the material in the IETF standard to be public domain, then it now becomes uncopyrightable, and no matter what the IETF or original authors may decide to do in the future, none of them can impose licensing fees. Simon, the entire reason this whole thing is becoming a problem now is that for years and years, the accepted practice in the industry was when a company wrote an IETF standard, it was generally understood that that standard was in the public domain, and that anyone could use it without having to pay licensing fees. Then a few years ago when IETF standards suddenly became very important, companies looked at them and realized that under the copyright laws, since the company (like Microsoft or Cisco or whoever) held copyright, that they could impose licensing fees or restrictions on use of the IETF standard. The IETF is knee-jerking a response here (assuming you yourself are affiliated with them in any way, and not just blowing air out your ass for an interesting discussion) by trying to be all things to all people, you want to appease companies that look on their standards efforts as potential future sources of revenue (or future ways to control the market) and get them to put their stuff into an RFC, and you want to appease the users of the RFC standards and assure them that yes, the IETF standards process will protect them from the big bad companies that are either trying to get money out of them or otherwise control them. What you don't understand is you can't do this. The goals are incompatible. IETF standards users cannot tolerate a scrap of inte

mkisofs on 5.4
I'm running FBSD 5.4 and notice that the date/time stamps on files burned to DVD using growisofs() are being reported incorrectly after mounting the DVD and using ls() or stat(). On Dec 2, 2005 at about 10:30am, I used growisofs() to burn a DVD (took less than a minute to finish). When I mount the DVD and run ls() I see a date of Dec 1, 20:11. Since the OS is reporting the date/time correctly using UFS2. Is this a known bug? I couldn't find any info in the man page or web about it. Can anyone reproduce this?

web based password control?
Hey folks. This is probably going to meet with a good number of warnings against this course of action, but I'm looking for a web based password utility. I have a couple users that do not have access to set their passwords from outside my network (remote logins aren't permitted for most accounts). Of course, I'm going to seriously limit the accessibility of the application, and make it altogether unavailable until it's actually needed and then only with a one time password on a secure connection. Still, I'd like them to be able to set their passwords for sasl and shell accounts (sasl is used for IMAPS, which is allowed externally, shell passwords are used for IMAP, allowed only within the network by the webmail app, which is only accessible on a secure connection anyway). I could probably whip up a mod_perl page easily enough, but before I bother, is there a port that will do this? Preferably with proper password confirmations prior to changing them. I've seen a couple (www/chpasswd was the closest) that suggested similar behavior, but I'm not sure any covered exactly my needs.

I would agree with that; any significant FreeBSD update should minimally be tested carefully on a reference machine. If that works out well enough then one might have some level of comfort for automating update deployments from the reference machine to comparable production platforms. With of course the first automated phase being the taking of a file system snapshot and a dump. re: update frequency, I tried to be aggressive about this for a time but ran into the OP's frustration about things not always working out too well. Nowadays I only update ports when there's a version change that I am sure provides significant added value, or when portaudit starts whining about something. IIRC, on Windows machines the default setting is to automatically download and install OS updates, and this has only caused problems for everyone involved. I don't know any moderately competent Windows user who doesn't turn this feature off right away. I used to feel that way too, but around here we have had a very long track record on about 850 Win boxes of having nearly zero problems with their updates. It's not just luck. When folks have problems it often seems related to customizations made to their systems, particularly with regard to firewall, NTFS or registry ACL hardening. This is not at all surprising -- compare that to a FAQ re: FreeBSD upgrade failure where the answer is "looks like you've got the immutable flag set". Ain't security swell? ;) On Windows servers we turn off automated installation (reboot timing and change management being of moderate importance).

Why scandir(3) argument not const?
Hello. I read scandir(3). Why: scandir(const char *dirname, struct dirent ***namelist, int (*select)(struct dirent *), int (*compar)(const void *, const void *)); and not: scandir(const char *dirname, struct dirent ***namelist, int (*select)(const struct dirent *), int (*compar)(const void *, const void *)); I.e. why is the dirent pointer in the third argument not a const dirent pointer? I see that on Linux and NetBSD it is declared const, but not so on FreeBSD and OpenBSD (don't know about other platforms). Since this in not a POSIX function, but a BSD extension, it would be nice if the prototypes for the function was compatible across platforms. Is there any case where the filter function should need to change the dirent structure? I think not. Comments?

I know this is discussed in countless HOWTOs and docs on the web, but these are usually for Linux. Can someone please point me to some resources that can make this happen? Does The Handbook's chapter on NFS cover all I need to know in that area?

Uptimes, autoreboots, and package upgrades
Hey folks. This is really just a question about admin practices and procedures. I have a 5.4_RELEASE system that I'll be re-installing (clean, on a new hard drive) with 6.0 some time in the next few months. Before I do, I'm interested in fine tuning my administrative ideology. I hear a lot of boasting about uptimes and stability, and whatnot, and with these boasts invariably come responses decrying the wisdom of keeping a machine up for such a long time without resetting it. Reasons abound, but the one I see most often is related to the fact I keep my system well updated, upgrading ports at least weekly. Some of these ports are libraries that fix stability issues, security issues, etc. and are often used by daemons I keep running at all times - though only those absolutely required to be accessible from outside are open through the firewall. Regardless, I've seen some minor wierd behavior because of these upgrades, and unfortunately, I sometimes see daemons refuse to start afterward. Postfix and Courier are the more important ones (to me, anyway) that have misbehaved in this way. Often it is related to a library or a security package that was updated and required a config tweak with the upgrade (particularly Sasl2). So, I know restarting is important on occasion, but my real questions are: Does anyone use a crontab reboot to make sure their system(s) get a regular fresh start? If so, how often - weekly, montly, bi-monthly? Does anyone have a list of packages they flag for more cautious upgrade procedures than just whipping them all into portupgrade? What does this process consist of besides reading the release and/or upgrade notes? My list is a bit short so far, with only postfix, courier, and sasl*. I have considered putting SquirrelMail, Apache, and the Apache addons/modules on the list, but I very rarely have trouble with them. Thanks in advance.

I have an Orinoco Gold 802.11b card that's always worked fine; I'm about to replace it with something else for 802.11g with a new WAP.

No working leases in persistent database - sleeping. (Under 4.11, I didn't get any verbose output from dhcpclient.) I can get a DHCP lease with fxp0, my Ethernet card; also, some Macs in the house have no problem getting leases through the WAP. (The DHCP server is in a separate router, not in the WAP.) Is there something that's changed under 6.0, or is there just something I'm forgetting to do? I do plan to get a new card, but I want to get this working too. Just about everything about dhclient has changed. The dhclient from ISC has been replaced by a complete new development from the OpenBSD team. Options that previously worked are nolonger recognized. Among these options are the options to configure what wireless network to associate with. Also, added is wpa_supplicant which is used to choose the WLAN to connect to. If there are other WLAN's in your neighbourhood and you have not configured wpa_supplicant, it is likely that you associate with the wrong network and that network doesn't offer a lease. One thing to do, mostly for testing: Reset completely your card so it does not appear to be associated with any network. When you run dhclient and it fails, you should at least be able to see what network it is associated with if any. So, read up on the man-pages, and start over.

Re: Help deriving a corrupted disklabel
Hi Anish,
Thanks for the reply -- scan_ffs did exactly what I needed it to do!
For those who encounter a similar problem (damaged disklabel on a FreeBSD
slice), it's not as simple as one might hope, since I was limited to the
"Fixit" shell on the FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE CD.
scan_ffs is not on the CD, which makes it much more difficult (configuring
networking, obtaining it via ftp, unpacking the package, etc., since
'pkg_add -r' doesn't work in a Fixit shell). Setup was most of the work!
Once I had a usable copy of scan_ffs, the rest was simple.
Thanks again for the help. Without it, I'm sure I'd still be struggling to
use dd and grep to locate magic numbers using a shell script.

I don't think is a mplayer issue, though, because xvinfo reports "no adaptors present". I don't know too much about how all this fits together, and can't say if this is an xorg issue, kernel issue, or other, but I am certain that sometime in the not-to-distant-past XVideo did work on this particular hardware. How is that? What should I look into? Is it possible that a buildkernel could stir xvideo up in the -beta to -release upgrade, when the kernel config file has been left untouched?

If you have already downloaded it the you do not need the -r. The reason you are getting the unable to fetch is probably that you are asking for a specific version which is not available. To download and install the latest version of cvsup just do pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui See the handbook http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/packages-using.html Rob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
pkg_add of CVSup errors when looking for dependencies
I am attempting to install the cvsup package I downloaded using pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui-16.1h_2.tbz, but I keep getting the following error: Error: FTP Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.4-release/Latest/cvsup-without-gui-16.1h_2.tbz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) pkg_add: unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.4-release/Latest/cvsup-without-gui-16.1h_2.tbz' by URL It looks like the default link that cvsup attempts to look for dependencies is incorrect. How can I specify an alternate link for cvsup to use? Thanks in advance for any help.
