freebsd 4.9 and ports cvsup
Hi all, I need to upgrade some applications with many dependencies on an older 4.9 system. I was thinking to start with ports tree upgrade but when I try to run cvsup I get connection refused messages from all cvsup servers I tried, meaning that there's no a fresh port tree for version 4.9. So, I'm a little bit stuck, I cannot get a fresh ports tree and I cannot get updated binaries through pkg_add either. What would you suggest to do in such situation. Upgrading the whole system to a newer version would be too much pain. I'd appreciate any advise. Thanks. -- Best regards, Cezar mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So you're doing something wrong before that. Please show the exact command you used, the supfile, and the output from cvsup. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Only after reading your answer I realized that the firewall may be the reason for this behavior. And it is indeed. A simple rule change solved the problem. -- Best regards, Cezarmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
