Hubbard" Sender: announce-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, ports world! We have a bunch of new packages compiled with the latest SNAP in ftp://freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/packages (Note: This isn't "ftp.freebsd.org", our regular ftp server -- we're short of diskspace there right now, so they'll only be available from "freebsd.org" for a few days.) These packages are compiled with the new libc and thus WILL NOT RUN on 2.0R systems. We'd like to have these tested soon so we can support the SNAP users better. The old packages/ directory will also be renamed soon, with this collection becoming our "official" package collection. The packages are classified by categories, one subdirectory per category. The directory ".packages/" holds the actual packages and the other directories contain symbolic links to it. "all/" is a special category that contains links to all packages. NOTE TO FTP USERS: If you do ``get .tar.gz'' using our ftp server (which allows whole-hierarchy fetches this way) you will get these symlinks intact and store only one copy of each package. If you ``cd'' into a directory and use the ``get'' or ``mget'' commands, you'll get the file each link is pointing to. This may be a better strategy if you only want a small number of packages. One clever trick for getting an entire copy of the packages hierarchy without having the intermediate file touch your disk is to say: % cd /some/location/with/lots/of/space % ncftp ftp://freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD ncftp> get packages.tar "|tar xvpf -" And you'll get a full packages hierarchy with all the categorization information intact. We'll be adding more packages to this new hierarchy as they're fixed and compiled. Please test them and report any problems to the mailing list. Thanks!
