Hi all,
I run cvsup to get the ports collection updates about once or twice a week.
I noticed that the list of ports on the FreeBSD website has separate
categories for KDE and Gnome. However, when I cvsup with 'ports-all' in my
cvsup file, I don't get these directories in /usr/ports/.
Is this an issue for some reason, or just a silly oversight of mine?
NOTE: Please CC me, as I am not currently subscribed. Thanks.
They go in the distfiles directory when you download the source tarballs. To
populate them
cd /usr/ports/x11/kde3
make fetch-recursive
and
/usr/ports/distfiles/KDE
will be populated :). The tarballs for all of the dependancies that you don't
have the source for will aslo be fetched.

I think he is referring to:
http://www.freebsd.org/ports/gnome.html
..and
http://www.freebsd.org/ports/kde.html
..which are generated specifically for the www documentation and contain
all ports that apply to each window manager. These ports are also in
/usr/ports but are placed in their relative categories. They are not all
installed as part of the gnome or kde base systems.
You can run something like make search key=gnome or make search
key=kde in /usr/ports to get a list of ports used by gnome/kde.
You can replace gnome/kde with any keyword you like to be more specific
on your search.
