I do have a few questions, though. +CONTENTS lists the following as dependancies, and I want to know if: XFree86-libraries-4.3.0_5: I have XF86 4.2; is 4.3 really required? libiconv-1.9.1_1: Will 1.8_2 suffice? gettext-0.11.5_1: Will 0.10.35_1 suffice? I don't mind doctoring up +CONTENTS to allow the ports I already have, if I know they'll work. This is an aged and EOL'd system, and I'm getting leery of updating installed ports, for fear of breakage. I'm running 4.5-REL-p24.10 (the ".10" are SAs I've applied since 4.5 was EOL'd). Will these packages run under FreeBSD 4.5? And finally, how to install these? Just run 'pkg_add diablo-jre-1.3.1.0' and 'pkg_add diablo-jdk-1.3.1.0', like any other package?
