portmanager port upgrade question
I'm trying to upgrade a machine, which was built only about 2 weeks agao. portmanager reprts the following: portmanager 0.4.1_6 FreeBSD brown.fas.com 6.1-STABLE FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE #11: Sun Sep 3 13:33:28 EDT 2006 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/BROWN i386 autoConflicts 0 autoMoved 0 backUp 0 buildDependsAreLeaves 0 forced 0 interactive0 log1 pmMode 0 pristine 0 resume 0 Mon Sep 4 17:31:36 2006 linux_base-8-8.0_16 /emulators/linux_base-8 marked IGNORE port not installed/updated Mon Sep 4 17:31:37 2006 linux_base-8-8.0_16 /emulators/linux_base-8 marked IGNORE por t not installed/updated Can anyon tell me why this port is marked ignore? Has it been superseeded? -- Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity.

Has it been superseeded? You may consider reading /usr/ports/UPDATING. BTW, it's the right file to read from time to time and especially if you have questions about the port system. ;-) WBR -- Boris Samorodov (bsam) Research Engineer, http://www.ipt.ru Telephone & Internet SP FreeBSD committer, http://www.FreeBSD.org The Power To Serve ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Personally, why a new source was not created so that anyone downloading FreeBSD, and conversely not familiar with its workings, would not have to go through this rigmarole is beyond me. If they wanted to keep a clearly obsolete version around for what ever reason it should have been so marked as such. For someone doing a fresh install, there is no reason to go this route, IMHO. -- Gerard Seibert [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

The default port now is linux_base-fc4 and if someone tries to install any linux application from a portstree then the right linux port is installed. And yes, the portstree should be up ta date (note the system the OP asked was a fresh install as of two weeks ago).

When a new, or not, user downloads an image file for FBSD, he/she is getting an image file with this obsoleted version. They must then use 'portupgrade' to change the obsoleted 'linux_base-8' to the newer version. This could easily have been avoided by issuing a newer mirror version. I cannot see any reason why this is not feasible. -- Gerard Seibert [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
