If they are 'ports' specificly built for FreeBSD, shouldn't the port maintainer make them install like the originals were? Makes sense to me.... Or maybe the original install/release needs to be changed to install the same as the port. It's a pain having to debug where everything went, change config files, update startup scripts, make symlinks, etc... When if it were Linux a simple RPM install would update it and I'd be done with it. Just my observations. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Kevin Kinsey Sent: Monday, March 26, 2007 9:13 PM To: Don O'Neil Cc: 'Reko Turja'; freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Updating Bind & OpenSSL on 6.1-Stable/Release Don O'Neil wrote: > I did...
