I know that we have the -g key, still the new version has a feature?: on a fresh installation of 4.4 STABLE it gives me only cvsup-16-f package which complaines thusly: /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object libXaw.so.6 not found If you have the ports system installed: # cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup/ # make -DWITHOUT_X11 make install Bear in mind that CVSup is written in Modula 3 and will, thus, require this to be installed. Which is why you really want to do: # make -DSTATIC -DWITHOUT_X11 make install which will link all the Modula 3 libraries in statically, so you can then deinstall all of Modula 3 without breaking the thing. STATIC is turned on by defualt when making the package, but not when just building the port. This used to be true, but is not true for the latest port which uses a different Modula 3 compiler. Nowadays the Modula 3 libraries are always linked in statically and both package and port are by default linked dynamically with the system libraries. (This is what has caused the problems, since the X libraries are linked in dynamically in the package, instead of statically as before.) -- Insert your favourite quote here.

I happen to think that cvsup is one program that should be added as a package. You reduce the side effects introduced by having one port that needs a modula compiler. The s1g site has both versions and you download your choice. I do see your point... It is not good having to install that darn M3 compiler when CVSUP is the only ports needing it. I have just attuned myself to using ports, and it is with ports (and portupgrade) I run my updating routines. But I could make an exception with CVSUP... +-+ | Thomas Gravgaard | The Scarlet Pimpernel is the most (__) | | Software developer | overrated human being since Judas \\\'',) | | Infopaq ApS| Iscariot won the AD 31 best disciple\/ \ ^| | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | competition.
