Here's a quick howto. CVS_root='[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot' cd /usr && cvs -qd $CVS_root co -r pkgsrc-2006Q1 -AP pkgsrc cd /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap && sh ./bootstrap PATH=/usr/pkg/bin:/usr/pkg/sbin:$PATH cd /usr/pkgsrc/security/audit-packages && bmake install echo '00 3 * * * /usr/pkg/sbin/download-vulnerability-list >/dev/null 2>&1' >>/var/spool/cron/crontabs/root echo '00 4 * * * /usr/pkg/sbin/audit-packages' >>/var/spool/cron/crontabs/root /usr/pkg/sbin/download-vulnerability-list /usr/pkg/sbin/audit-packages cat /usr/pkgsrc/lang/python24/DESCR cd /usr/pkgsrc/lang/python24 && bmake install I have no idea if pkgsrc works on alpha, but /usr/pkgsrc/*/*/Makefile should detect your os/arch and apply approprate patches, if you are supported. If you want to apply your own patches, do bmake patch, make your own changes, then bmake install. if -mieee is all that's required for alpha, and it's not there, somebody could submit a patch. ;) // George -- George Georgalis, systems architect, administrator <IXOYE>< -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
