Since it is ongoing I can only guess that it has not been reported. ;-) Whenever I try to install the net/cvsupit package via ftp using /stand/sysinstall it appears to hang. My guess is that the package manager is waiting for user /console input since this package requires configuration during installation. >How-To-Repeat: Try installing the cvsupit package using stand/sysinstall and choose ftp as source. (not sure if it works from cd or not, from memory it doesn't) >Fix: The workaround is to use pkg_add from the command line and pass it the ftp address to the package. This is the install method as stated in the docs found on freebsd.org, but not terribly obvious to newbies. My guess is that the package manager is waiting for user input since this package requires configuration during installation - stand/sysinstall does not provide ability to configure this package. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
