OK, I've uploaded the packages now and they'll begin propagating out

The past 9 days I was sitting at various pay-fer internet cafes and thus
have not dealt with i386-5 (I had hoped it was going to be finished while
I was still in Munich and had the wireless).

I had thought of 'sending the reminder mails' and 'uploading the packages'
as one unit, but I suppose I should have split them up.  The former was
not feasible from the cafes.

I am now back but suffering from jet-lag so it will be another more 12
hours or so before I can look at the reminder-mails.  (I had a 25-hour
travel marathon between Koln and Houston.)

Hi Kris,

I know things must be pretty busy with 6.2, but is there any chance that
the 5.5-STABLE packages can be updated soon?  I just checked again, and
at least apache and phpyadmin are still stale, going on two months now.

I dont think so, sysinstall isn't really intended as a post-install
package management tool.

As we're often enough reminded :)  Thought I'd get it all up to date,
then cvsup to 6.2 once released.

Thanks Kris, may it Get Well Soon.  

BTW, just to try, I'd installed 6.1-R on another box over the net from
the boot-only CD, and enjoyed being able to install heaps of packages
from sysinstall that way, but was a bit dismayed to find it hadn't kept
the fetched packages .. is there a way to ask sysinstall to do that?

There's always a lag, of course (computers aren't yet infinitely fast
;-).  It's usually only a lag of a couple of days for 6.x, longer for
5.x since it's a "legacy" branch and not our main focus of activity.

However the main FTP distribution server has been offline with
hardware failure for the past week or two, so I can't push out any of
the subsequent updates.  Hopefully this will be resolved soon (it's
also holding up the 6.2 release cycle).

Hi all,

FreeBSD paqi.smithi.id.au 5.5-STABLE FreeBSD 5.5-STABLE #0:  Sun Nov 19
20:22:12 EST 2006 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/PAQI5S_2 i386

On 4th December, after a recent portsnap fetch/update, I ran portupgrade
-anPP to prefetch all available packages for a well overdue upgrade of
all ports on this box, most dating from 5.4-RELEASE CDs 

Apart from taking ~7 hours to fetch ~550MB for ~220 packages, and except
for a few non-packageable ports, that went fine.  Then on 10th December,
after much study of UPDATING and adopting the procedures there for KDE,
I ran portupgrade -aPP on those packages, which apart from updating PHP4
then installing PHP5 on top of it (which I'll take up later) went better
than I'd dared to dream, taking ~8 hours.  Awesome work guys!

However after then running portsnap fetch/update to pick up anything new
since the 4th, and after upgrading portupgrade, ran another portupgrade
-anPP to pick up available packages for the ~35 ports newly out of date,
intending to finish off by building any remaining ports from sources.

I was glad I'd specified -PP .. every fetch from $subject directory
failed.  Checking manually, then and again tonight, I see that indeed
only the versions of files that were (correctly) current at 4th December
are still there now.  The latest file date there says 17th November.

Is this likely a temporary glitch, or do -stable packages only get
updated to match the current ports tree after some expectable delay?

Cheers, Ian
