Marco, thank you! By the way I've read a lot of the documentation and it is excellent; even so it still leaves one with pockets of misunderstandings or conceptual voids. As a new user to freeBSD one has so many questions that it is easy to miss the wood for the trees. Many thanks! -----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 18:42:22 +0200 (CEST) On Mon, 9 Oct 2017, the wise James Geering wrote: > Ah ok thank you, so I think you mean I have to get explicitly the > windowmaker port using SVN ? and then build it locally? If you want to use ports then you have to update your local portstree and build it locally. If you want to use the pkg then you have to wait until the windowmaker pkg arrives in the pkg repository. Perhaps best thing to do first is to read the handbook about pkg/ports: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html Regards, Marco
