All repo's where tried without luck. I DL'ed them seperatly. The filename was wrong in the script. I assumed that this was because 6.2RC1 .iso ports list may be out of date ? I didnt realise audio codecs could have security issues (noticed that anything I install from ports carries a security notice?) however I need to listen to my voicemail. I alos tried the JRE / Fox setup which worked in 6.1 but not in 6.2 >if it really is a big problem for you, please consider submitting a PR with >fixes for specific issues you've found. Or report them via PR at least (as >nobody will fix something that is not known to be broken). OK, this wasnt a complaint, just trying to undersand what a RC is compared to a full release. I realise also that there are 1000's of ports and not every single one can be monitored and tested constantly. What is the 'Official Procedure' for reporting problems with ports or any other aspect ? I always try googling and this list in that order. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

hmmm my mplayer and mplayer-skin s having a nit with some skin it cant find
(it may be that I chose a bunch of skins to include as an option...will clean
completely and retry soon). win32-codecs has security holes, but if you dont
care about this, it should install fine.

if it really is a big problem for you, please consider submitting a PR with
fixes for specific issues you've found. Or report them via PR at least (as
nobody will fix something that is not known to be broken).
good luck,

Mind explaining the problems you see in detail? I've been tracking the latest
ports and kernel from 6.-RELEASE to , well, stable :) and I haven't noticed
anything broken ..

Can you expand on this ? I have noticed that quite alot of ports are broken on 6.2 but then again I only loaded it a few days ago and havent updated the tree (thinking this is the 'latest' version - flawed?) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
