Once in a while a port fails to upgrade, because it wants to write something in /etc. E.g. perl into /etc/make.conf or other ports into /etc/group.
On my systems / is normally a read only mount. These ports build fine during a portupgrade and fail during install, leaving most of the port installed, but unregistered (i.e. the package database is broken). I think such ports should set something like USE_WRITE_SLASH=yes and refuse to install if / is not writeable. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
