Unfortunately, now that's true. Since there is currently no -stable ports maintainer, there are no stable ports updates. There have been hints that this will change soon. If it does, follow Woodchuck's advice by unpacking ports.tar.gz. Then, updated it using "cvs -qd:ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED] up -rOPENBSD_4_2 -Pd" in /usr/ports. Also keep an eye out on ftp://${MIRROR}/pub/OpenBSD/4.2/packages/`arch -s`/ for updated packages. I'd have to imagine there'd be an announcement at least on ports@ if -stable ports updates begin again. Another thing to do is run -current. -ME _______________________________________________ Openbsd-newbies mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies
