Hi, I'm confused (what else is new) about some stuff with packages and releases that 4.6-RC is having. before you go any further, please realise this is NOT an attack on anyone, it's not a complaint and i am not expecting anyone to do anything unless they think it might be a good idea.. in ports/i386 (the home of the package trees) lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 15 Jun 1 2001 packages -> packages-stable lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 17 Jun 1 2001 packages-4-current -> packages-4-stable drwxr-xr-x 75 1006 1006 3584 May 23 18:26 packages-4-stable lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 17 Jun 1 2001 packages-4.2-stable -> packages-4-stable lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 17 Jun 1 2001 packages-4.3-stable -> packages-4-stable drwxr-xr-x 75 1006 1006 1536 Sep 16 2001 packages-4.4-release lrwxrwxrwx 1 1006 1006 17 Sep 5 2001 packages-4.4-stable -> packages-4-stable drwxr-xr-x 74 1006 1006 2048 May 20 15:35 packages-4.5-release lrwxr-xr-x 1 1006 1006 17 Mar 30 19:13 packages-4.5-stable -> packages-4-stable lrwxr-xr-x 1 1006 1006 17 May 20 15:35 packages-4.6-RC -> packages-4-stable lrwxr-xr-x 1 1006 1006 17 May 20 15:35 packages-4.6-RC1 -> packages-4-stable lrwxr-xr-x 1 1006 1006 17 May 20 15:35 packages-4.6-RC2 -> packages-4-stable lrwxr-xr-x 1 1006 1006 18 May 20 15:35 packages-4.6-release -> packages-4-stable/ lrwxr-xr-x 1 1006 1006 18 May 20 15:35 packages-4.6-stable -> packages-4-stable/ drwxr-xr-x 74 1006 1006 3584 May 20 15:35 packages-5-current lrwxr-xr-x 1 1006 1006 17 Apr 20 04:12 packages-5.0-current -> packages-5.0-dp1/ drwxr-xr-x 75 1006 1006 2560 Apr 6 06:22 packages-5.0-dp1 lrwxr-xr-x 1 1006 1006 18 Apr 30 21:51 packages-current -> packages-5-current lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 17 Jun 1 2001 packages-stable -> packages-4-stable i don't understand the logic above exactly packages packages-stable packages-4-stable packages-4-current packages-4.2-stable packages-4.3-stable packages-4.5-stable packages-4.6-RC packages-4.6-RC1 packages-4.6-RC2 packages-4.6-release packages-4.6-stable are all the same directory: packages-4-stable packages-5-current packages-current are the same directory: packages-5-current packages-5.0-current packages-5.0-dp1 are the same directory: packages-5.0-dp1 packages-4.5-release and pacckages-4.4-release are individual directories. the above is pretty confusing. is there any chance we can move away from "frozen" package release trees and simply have: packages-4-stable - 4.X package tree packages-5-stable - 5.X package tree it's a bit worse in the alpha tree IMHO lrwxr-xr-x 1 1006 1006 15 Mar 19 05:14 packages -> packages-stable drwxr-xr-x 73 1006 1006 2560 May 20 11:33 packages-4-stable drwxr-xr-x 74 1006 1006 1536 May 10 2001 packages-4.3-release lrwxrwxrwx 1 1006 1006 17 Aug 18 2001 packages-4.4-release -> packages-4-stable lrwxrwxrwx 1 1006 1006 17 Dec 21 05:30 packages-4.5-release -> packages-4-stable lrwxr-xr-x 1 1006 1006 16 May 22 04:15 packages-4.6-RC -> packages-4.6-RC3 drwxr-xr-x 74 1006 1006 2560 May 22 06:33 packages-4.6-RC3 lrwxr-xr-x 1 1006 1006 16 May 22 06:33 packages-4.6-release -> packages-4.6-RC3 drwxr-xr-x 71 1006 1006 1536 Sep 4 2001 packages-5-current lrwxr-xr-x 1 1006 1006 16 Apr 20 04:12 packages-5.0-current -> packages-5.0-dp1 drwxr-xr-x 72 1006 1006 2560 Apr 6 03:19 packages-5.0-dp1 lrwxr-xr-x 1 1006 1006 16 Apr 20 04:12 packages-current -> packages-5.0-dp1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 17 Jun 1 2001 packages-stable -> packages-4-stable packages packages-stable packages-4-stable packages-4.4-release packages-4.5-release are all the same directory: packages-4-stable packages-4.6-RC packages-4.6-RC3 packages-4.6-release are all the same directory: packages-4.6RC3 packages-current packages-5.0-dp1 packages-5.0-current are all the same directory: packages-5.0-dp1 packages-5-current, packages-4.3-release are individual directories it's also confusing and worse, it's out of sync with the i386 packages tree. also there is a 4.6-RC3 release tree, even though there is only a 4.6-RC1 release on alpha, a 4.6-RC2 on i386 and no in between directories in the alpha packages tree. does the packages-4-stable tree not work on older 4.X releases ? regards, -jason To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hubs" in the body of the message
