I went to upgrade mysql from 4.1 to 5.0. I updated my ports (no problems), but when I ran: pkg_add -r mysql50-server I get: Error: FTP Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.3-release/Latest/mysql50-server.tbz: File unavailable I looked at the ftp site, and there is a 5.4 directory, but not one for 5.3. So, I assume I need to upgrade to FreeBSD 5.4 before installing this port. Is that correct? If so, what is the easiest way to do this? I checked google and the docs, but all "guides" I've found seem to indicate you need access to the machine to put in CD's etc. My server is about 100 miles away at a colo, so I'd like to be able to do it via ssh, if possible. Is upgrading from 5.3 to 5.4 a big job? Or is there something simple I'm missing? I've read on the mailing list about just specifying RELENG_5_4 in your cvs-supfile file. I tried this using the following cvs-supfile: ------ *default tag=RELENG_5_4 *default host=cvsup8.FreeBSD.org *default prefix=/usr *default base=/var/db *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress ports-all ------ And it just deleted all but a few of my ports in /usr/ports when I run cvsup. Help! I just want to install mysql 5.0! :-( Thanks, Ron
