Hi,
Locally I see this:
/usr/ports/www/lynx-ssl> pkg_version -v
[...]
lynx-ssl-2.8.5_2 = up-to-date with port
But freebsd.org website shows 2.8.6_4,1
How do I get my ports to know what's actually available?
thanks,

running os version 4.10
Freebsd 4.x is no longer supported in any way. Newer ports will not
build on 4.x. You should consider upgrading to 6.2.
Then why does the website info for lynx port list versions from 6.x
down to 4.10? When I saw that, I figured it was supported....
I know 4.10 is EOL'd; it's just that it's a production Internet
server and I don't know how long it'd be down for. I've never
upgraded a FreeBSD system before and have no idea how to go about it
(it's a remote dedicated server, unmanaged from my hosting provider).
Will I have to reinstall every port afterwards, or can I upgrade the
OS and the existing ports will just work?
thanks,
-Walter
still glad he talked his host (iStrata) into providing FreeBSD while
their official offerings were only Linux. :-)
