Good point; thanks. "lsof" is a superb tool, BTW...
Now that 10.3 is EOL I would expect that the package built for 10-STABLE
would be built on 10.4-RELEASE, but I don't know for sure. It should be
and the next quarterly should be 10.4 based, too.
OK.
The history is that I used to build from ports because the then-boss did,
and I didn't even know about pre-built packages. Then, one day, Ruby
needed to be rebuilt, which promptly blew away /tmp i.e. swap... I'm a
big fan of TMPFS; I had it on the old BSDi box (where it was "mfs"), and
even my old CP/M box (where it was "M:").
