Can one Download Old Packages?
Is there a safe site to find the rsync package for FreeBSD6.3? We still have a few 6.3 systems around because the commercial backup client we have for an enterprise-wide solution will not install on FreeBSD8.1? This is one of those times when we are fighting the war with what we presently have rather than what we wish we had. I must restore the /dev directory on a 6.3 system and rsync would have done it hours ago but I didn't know that the few remaining 6.3 systems didn't have it installed.

In the last episode (Jan 10), Martin McCormick said: Is there a safe site to find the rsync package for FreeBSD6.3?

Actually, /dev has been managed by the devfs virtual filesystem driver since FreeBSD 5 (maybe even before that), so a reboot should repopulate /dev with the correct data. There shouldn't be anything that rsync would be able to sync. -- Dan Nelson dnel...@allantgroup.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
