Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Reading UPDATING again showed that there was a modification in direcctory structure. Maybe that's the reason for upgrading all ports that depend on perl. But then why not go further and upgrade to perl 5.18? So now I do the massive portmaster upgrade and am stopped by silly little things, like a conflict between the old transmission-gtk2 and the newer version, and later gcc can't make clean because of checksum errors. It didn't know to deinstall the old transmission-gtk2? So I ran pkg delete transmission-gtk2, knowing it was to be rebuilt to a newer version. Also, the gcc-4.6.4 upgrade was apparently successful, and no work directory remains for that port. A long operation can be done while the user is doing other things, like bed, food preparation, eating, outside errands, work on another computer, etc. Tom _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
