What package do > I need to install to port Redhat RPM to FreeBSD? If you are moving applications from RedHat to freebsd, I would suggest that you take the source RPM's and rebuild their functionality as ports. You would use the SPEC file to work out how the RPM is built and then look at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html for an overview of how ports work. What packages are you looking to port? -- - Wayne Pascoe E-mail: wayne.pascoe@realtime.co.uk Phone : +44 (0) 20 7544 4668 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
