I suspect that somewhere along the upgrade path I missed an important change in the collection and somehow skipped the update that applied the fix I have discovered that if you get this error AND if certain directories and files exist the make will break.... I have found that deleting the directories /usr/ports/(portname)/pkg /usr/ports/(portname)/patches and also deleting (if it exists) the file /usr/ports/(portname)/files/md5 then the port builds OK. I suspect that these are the 'hangover' remnants from the original structure that the bsd.port.mk file objects to. And it seems that otherwise my ports tree is good because the ports build then runs A-ok! comment? cheers mjt On Sun, May 13, 2001 at 05:14:32AM -0700, george vagner wrote: > i believe you need > > > ports-all tag=. > > dont forget the tag=. part.... > > > > > > BTW - the ports collection has been cvsupped every > > coulpa months or so, its not one big jump ! > > > > On Sun, May 13, 2001 at 02:29:16PM +1000, User & wrote: > > > I am using CVSup 16.1 on a FreeBsd 4.2 box > > > with the following supfile > > > > > > ---------------8<---------------- > > > > > > *default host=cvsup.au.FreeBSD.org > > > *default base=/usr > > > *default prefix=/usr > > > *default release=cvs tag=. > > > *default delete use-rel-suffix > > > *default compress > > > > > > ## Ports Collection. > > > # > > > # The easiest way to get the ports tree is to use the "ports-all" > > > # mega-collection.
