Hi,
Just cvsup'd the latest ports tree and found 15 ports "orphaned". Later
found that GNOME 1.4 was no longer supported and it was recommended that
GNOME 2.2 be installed. I read the FAQ document and in section # 4, it
indicates that 16 GNOME 1.4 pkgs needed to be removed before attempting
the upgrade.
* Can I assume that it is not necessary to remove a pkg if it has
been orphaned?
* Three of the ports mentioned in the section, libgtop, gedit, and
eog, are questionable.
* Libgtop is still shown as "up-to-date with port". Should I
still remove libgtop or is there a late change with regard to
its' existance?
* gedit and eog simply don't appear at all in the port tree.
Can I disregard them?
* Are WITH_FAM and WITH_LAME necessary when upgrading?
Any updates?
Thanks,
Bob
