/usr/ports/net/net-snmp Only contains Readme.html

2004-09-08 Thread Danny
My ports-supfile is setup to update the /net directory, so I am not
sure why this directory only contains the readme.html. This is a brand
new install of FreeBSD 5.2.1, and I am 98% sure that I said yes to
installing the ports during the intial installation.

cd /usr/ports/net/net-snmp
make install clean
make: don't know how to make install. Stop

On a side note, I am hoping that this port will allow me to collect
SNMP data from this FreeBSD server?

Thank you,

...D

Using cvsup to only update part of the ports tree is not recommended:
don't even think about grabbing anything other than 'ports-all'
(unless you enjoy pain, that is)
 
 cd /usr/ports/net/net-snmp
 make install clean
 make: don't know how to make install. Stop

The port has moved to net-mgmt/net-snmp

The old directory still exists only because there's a readme.html file
in it -- if you delete that and re-run cvsup, the old net/net-snmp
directory will be deleted completely.

 On a side note, I am hoping that this port will allow me to collect
 SNMP data from this FreeBSD server?

Works for me.

Cheers,

Matthew

Is there a handy way to automate the deletion of abandoned readme.html
files in the ports tree?

I don't typically enjoy pain, but rather enjoy a good challenge. In
this case though, I will follow your solid advice and run ports-all.
 
  cd /usr/ports/net/net-snmp
  make install clean
  make: don't know how to make install. Stop
 
 The port has moved to net-mgmt/net-snmp

Subsequent to following your advice, this neat new directory called
net-mgmt appeared; all is well.  (- ;
