Create a symlink from zsh-4.3.15.tbz to zsh.tbz on the package server. You can also control this at the time of building the package via: www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/makefile-naming.html#AEN647 "5.2.4 LATEST_LINK LATEST_LINK is used during package building to determine a shortened name to create links that can be used by pkg_add -r. This makes it possible to, for example, install the latest perl version by running pkg_add -r perl without knowing the exact version number. This name needs to be unique and obvious to users." > Second, it looks like it won't install dependencies. This is a problem. > Can I get it to search and install dependencies somehow? Does the package in question have its dependencies properly specified? Regards, -- -Chuck
