Maybe some other ports have licenses that prevent the distribution of packages, but not lang/gcc45 and devel/qt4-corelib. Where did you instruct portupgrade and the base system package tools to look for them? Is your ports tree up-to-date? I see, on the ftp servers: http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/lang/gcc-4.5.2.20100923.tbz http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7-stable/lang/gcc-4.5.2.20100923.tbz http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.0-release/lang/gcc-4.5.0.20090924.tbz http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/lang/gcc-4.5.1.20100701.tbz ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8-stable/lang/gcc-4.5.2.20100923.tbz http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-9-current/lang/gcc-4.5.2.20100923.tbz Also: http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/devel/qt4-corelib-4.6.3.tbz ... etc. Why did you think that they were missing? Incidentally, the latest version of lang/gcc45 is a snapshot of gcc 4.5.2, so ports or packages that want gcc 4.5.0 are outdated. There are localized versions of the stable OpenOffice port available for FreeBSD 8-* (and some older ones for FreeBSD 7-* ) available at: http://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/FreeBSD/ although the latest snapshots appear only to be built for U.S. English and Japanese at that server. b. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
