* From: "Jordan K. Hubbard" <jkh@zippy.cdrom.com> * As long as that directory is not /var/db/pkg, where I put my package * information, I agree that it doesn't matter either. :-) Ok. I'll move it out then. * I'm not sure that this is a solution so much as a band-aid, however. Of course. It's more of a safety belt, to avoid having people shooting off their own toes. :> The real problem is that people try to track ports-current with a release system. There is no solution to that, that's why I'm providing a series of band-aids.... * I could record the version number of the system as it was when * sysinstall installed it (3.1-RELEASE, X.X-YYYYMMDD-CURRENT, etc) but * that's about it. Actually, as you may have read in another message, it seems the problem was caused by a failing install due to to /var/db/pkg missing from the mtree list. Since the release build uses installworld, there really isn't anything special you need to do. * Well, the fetch -A thing was another imprudent leap off the wire * without a net, I'm not sure I'd use it to aid my arguments if I were * you. :-) Aw, touche. But it's no fun leaping if there's a net! -W To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
