----- Original Message ----- From: Gerry Freymann <freymann@scaryg.shacknet.nu> Newsgroups: lucky.freebsd.questions Sent: Tuesday, October 09, 2001 6:55 AM Subject: Question about Ports vs Packages and Updating them > And that's my third (and last) question: why set up a cvsup to update the ports, if, when you're "stuck" and fall back to packages, it only mucks up your entire port collection? > > Any comments? > I'll add one more comment. Not all ports have appropriate packages, because there are some ports which should be built uniquely on each server or have license restrictions.
