I started with a fresh install of 4.3-RELEASE, then began tracking either RELENG_4_3 or RELENG_4, usually cvsupping and updating ports tree daily, updating src tree and building world less frequently (maybe weekly). If I have to reinstall I tar the repo off to a spare drive so I don't have to suck the whole thing down each time I reinstall. I usually do it pretty much the same way every time -- install, bring back the repo, update ports, install bash, cvsup, wget, then try XFree86 and Gnome. Each time I put in /etc/daily.local a cvsup and a wget to update my IP in a dynamic DNS service. Before XFree86 got updated to 4.1.0, everything went fine. Well I screwed something up recently and did another reinstall (I'm basically playing with multi-booting, hobby kind of stuff, wiping the system and reinstalling/playing to get familiar with FreeBSD). After I updated the ports that time, XFree86 had been upped from 4.0.3 to 4.1.0. I built it and Gnome from the ports and after that some of my output from daily.local did not get mailed. I got part of it, but none of the output from the cvsup and only part of the output from the wget. I didn't know exactly what caused the problem, so I did another reinstall from a 4.3-RELEASE CD and then basically did one thing at a time until the problem occurred. 4.3-RELEASE + cvsupit-- all daily.local output fine 4.3-STABLE 2001/07/25 after buildworld -- all daily.local output fine 4.3-STABLE 2001/07/25 after adding bash, wget -- all daily.local output fine 4.3-STABLE 2001/07/26 after buildworld -- all daily.local output fine 4.3-STABLE 2001/07/26 adding XFree86 4.1.0 -- daily.local output messed up I am going to try again, starting with a 4.3-RELEASE, then just putting on XFree86 4.0.3. If that works fine, I am going to install again just to get a clean slate, then update my ports tree and install just XFree86 4.1.0 to see if the problem recurs. Man that was a lot of wind to ask just a simple question -- does anyone have any ideas why building XFree86 4.1.0 from the ports would screw up the output from /etc/daily.local? By the way, I did another buildworld today _after_ I had built XFree86 4.1.0 yesterday, ran periodic daily manually, and the output was still wrong.
