I did as I was told and my ports collection are now good. I'm just wondering:- 1. What's the file /usr/ports/.cvsignore for? 2. Is it OK for me to do a 'rm -rf /usr/ports', in which case /usr/ports/.cvsignore also gets deleted and then resync my ports tree? Is it a must do leave the /usr/ports/.cvsignore file there? >From: Kent Stewart <kstewart@urx.com> >Reply-To: kstewart@urx.com >To: BSD Blood <bsdblood@hotmail.com> >CC: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org >Subject: Re: ports not installing after updating sources >Date: Wed, 16 May 2001 02:43:00 -0700 > > > >BSD Blood wrote: > > > > I've just updated from FreeBSD 4.1 RELEASE to 4.3 STABLE.
