I am trying something new with a new 4.4 (CDs arrived!) setup and I have a puzzle.
I have a build-machine and I did an install of all the sets (bar games) plus the ports tree. I did "make package" for a small port I use that never gets onto the issue CD. Sweet. I then populated /usr/ports/packages/i386/all with the packages supplied on the CD and proceeded to build packages for the ports I use that I cannot (yet) get packages for by ftp. All very straightforward. So far. I have a machine that was loaded with 4.3 and a bunch of stuff from packages and I decided to test the upgrade process on it. The OS upgrade went well. sysmergeis great. I pointed PKG_PATH at my build machine and proceeded to do an upgrade using: pkg_add -ui -F update -F updatedepends and nearly everything went OK. I had postfix (stable, no flavors) from 4.3 on there and I had built a snapshot version from ports for 4.4. and the pkg_add said it could not find an update for postfix. When I built the 4.4 postfix stable version it updated but I really expected that it would have offered me the snapshot version that was there all along. Is there no way to choose between the two? What criteria are in play in such a case? Rod/ ** please: CC is unnecessary, I'm subscribed. Replies to the sender address (except from the list server are tarpitted.
