Ah ok thank you, so I think you mean I have to get explicitly the windowmaker port using SVN ? and then build it locally? -----Original Message-----From: Marco Beishuizen <mbeis@xs4all.nl> Reply-to: Marco Beishuizen <mbeis@xs4all.nl> To: James Geering <j.geering@btinternet.com> Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Cannot pkg upgrade WindowMaker 0.95.7 -> 0.95.8 Date: Mon, 9 Oct 2017 16:28:03 +0200 (CEST) On Mon, 9 Oct 2017, the wise James Geering wrote: > Hi All, I have just noticed that WindowMaker 0.95.8 has been released in > the freshports site; previously I was incorrectly trying to build this > myself from the windowmaker site.

Many thanks, James The x11-wm/windowmaker port has been updated, but the pkg isn't available yet. If I'm correct, the pkg repository is updated every 3 months, so it would be available in Q4. If you want to use windowmaker 0.95.8 now, best thing to do is use the port. Regards, Marco
