bsd 6 index file
I have a couple of older boxes on freebsd 6 that are reporting ports succeeding index, even after a fresh index has been downloaded. e.g portupgrade-2.4.8_1,2succeeds index (index has 2.4.8,2) spamass-milter-0.3.1_11succeeds index (index has 0.3.1_10) i had figured something screwy with my index file until i saw on another 6.2 box. - Paul Macdonald IFDNRG Ltd Web and video hosting - t: 0131 5548070 m: 07534206249 e: p...@ifdnrg.com w: http://www.ifdnrg.com - IFDNRG 40 Maritime Street Edinburgh EH6 6SA - ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

You can do a make index yourself, but there are no guarantees that this will continue to work as time passes. Time to upgrade to FreeBSD 7 or 8...

Regards, yup, yup, i know! these boxes are scheduled for upgrades once i get to the data center (freebsd-update works great, but it only takes one typo in the merged config files for a reboot to fail) INDEX-6 matched ports fine up till today however, which is why i posted. maybe today was the 'day'. ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Probably depends on what ports you use, you may not have any installed that were changed since the update of INDEX-6 was stopped. As Chuck mentioned, building INDEX yourself will, probably, still work, but the one downloaded by fetchindex will be outdated. You can also check out the last known working portstree on 6 with the tag RELEASE_6_EOL.
