Go to options and change that '4.11-RELEASE' into whatever you like. It will stop complaining. Whether it works to (say) tell a 4.x CD to install (say) 5.x ports is another matter :) But this way you can e.g. have a <foo>-SNAP install the packages of the preceding <foo>-RELEASE. -- Wilko Bulte [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
