I try to use only portmaster and/or directly with the port using make,
etc. It seems like the pkg stuff ends up biting me every so often. I far
prefer compiling to packages.
Hopefully my question is simple. I would love to make the pkg stuff
disappear and only use the ports tree directly or with portmaster.
Somehow I seem to manage to create these problems on most of my ports:
===>>> No ORIGIN in /var/db/pkg/gutenprint-base-5.2.8/+CONTENTS
===>>> No ORIGIN in /var/db/pkg/gutenprint-cups-5.2.8_1/+CONTENTS
I have a list of my installed ports so I am tempted to just eliminate ALL
the pkg stuff, if possible, and just use ports directly and portmaster. I
tried that a few weeks ago and somehow it seems to have come back. This
seems similar to the forum at
http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=42842 I agree with what
rtwingfield says but I don't see a solution.
Basically I would love to remove "pkg pkg_" stuff COMPLETELY and just
compile the port or use portmaster. Is that even an viable option, today?
I am up to date on 9.1 and will upgrade to current 10 shortly after I have
my ports back to manual control if it isn't worse.
Thanks,
ed
