Hi
I just updated my ports and installed Firefox. I have installed
Firefox version 0.9.3. How can I update it to version 1.0?
Thanks
PS: I am running FreeBSD 5.3
Your post is a bit ambiguous. did you have 0.9.3 on your system and
wanted to upgrade to 1.0 or did you update your ports but it
installed 0.9.3?
What I would do:
my ports-sup file:
#*default host=cvsup14.us.FreeBSD.org
*default host=cvsup12.us.FreeBSD.org
#*default host=cvsup1.FreeBSD.org
#*default host=cvsup.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=.
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
ports-all
-----------------------------
> su
# cvsup -g -L 2 /root/ports-supfile
(normally i'd just run pkg_version -v |grep "<" and if needed
portupgrade after cvsuping, if I was upgrading something like Gnome
or KDE i'd exit X)
# cd /usr/ports/www/firefox
# make deinstall
# more M*
# make WITH_OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS=yes install clean
# exit

Could his problem be that he has simply not fetched the index?
I normally do:
# cvsup -g -L2 /usr/ports-supfile
..
..
# cd /usr/ports
# make fetchindex
# portsdb -u
and then I would try reinstalling it using the method above.
I don't think that would keep him from installing the newer version
after he cvsuped, system might complain or manually rebuild the index
but thats it. After the portupgrade problem with index and how long it
takes to rebuild the index I now do this now too. also I run pkgdb -F or
pkgdb -Fu and portsclean -C before running portupgrade -arRwW and after
I run portupgrade I run portsclean -CDD and then clean out the old libs,
that is...if portupgrade had no errors. He emailed me and said he was
installing it for the first time, I think he just didn't do the cvsup
part correctly.
