X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 03 May 2007 09:11:30 -0000 Hello list, I have installed via pkg_add -r various packages for my 6.2-RELEASE. I have recognized that on this way I will not get always the newest package. When I use "pkg_add -r firefox" I got version 1.5 but 2.0 exist on the freebsd-ftp-server. When I use "pkg_add -r openoffice.org" I got version 1.1 but 2.0.4 exists on the freebsd-ftp-server. I looked at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/6.2-RELEASE/packages/Latest/ an I saw that the symbolic links are not showing to the newest packages... The handbook says with pkg_add -r we could get the newest package for the release (I am not talking about stable-packages and PACKAGESITE variable), but the symbolic links are maybe not updated, isn't it?
