AHH very important I CAN NOT CVSUP I'm something of a newbie with FreeBSD, but it seems like cvsup'ing your ports tree is the preferred solution. Why can't you do this? Can you use the package management system instead or ports, or is there a basic issue that keeps you from using both?

Re: 5.1-Realease UPDATE PORTS
There is no port for 5.x that I can find so updating your ports tree wont do much good. You can try downloading the package for 4-stable or wait for it to appear for 5.x. I am not certain what would happen if you downloaded the package for 4-stable and tried pgk_adddo this at your own risk.

Waht should i do? How can i update my ports collection ? AHH very important I CAN NOT CVSUP Thanks [Sigh] Don't believe everything you read. The ports are the same for 4.x and 5.x. Do you have the ports collection (the /usr/ports directory and contents) in your version of 5.1-RELEASE? If so, you can cd to /usr/ports/www/mozilla-firebird and type 'make install clean' (no quotes). That should get you version 0.6, I believe. Why are you unable to cvsup? If it is because you don't have the cvsup application installed, see if you can download and install the package for it (I'd recommend choosing the cvsup-without-gui package; you can also install cvsup using the port, but that takes a very long time downloading, compiling and installing Modula-3). Once you have cvsup installed, you can use it to install/update the ports collection. If you cannot use cvsup for some other reason, you might try FTP-ing the latest ports collection. (Since I am behind a firewall without FTP access ATM, can someone tell us whether there is an FTP-able ports collection with version 0.7 of Mozilla-Firebird?)

Ok People i download the latest port.tar.gz it includes the mozilla-firebird if i install it what could happen whit my system it needs xfree greater than i have installed ?what should i do? upgrade the entite syste? OK, very good - you now have a very recent set of ports skeletons (the instructions to download the source for, compile, and install on your system any of over 9000 applications). As you see, these ports have 'dependencies' (other ports they need), and upgrading a port sometimes means upgrading one or more dependencies. FreeBSD has an excellent application for managing port upgrades that will help you. It is called (not surprisingly) 'portupgrade.' Find it in the ports system (usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade) and install it. Now, regarding your question whether you should upgrade your whole system: It is a good idea to keep your system up-to-date with your ports. However, the usual way to do this is with cvsup. :( (You should read about CTM, as Kris mentioned, in the Handbook online at the FreeBSD web site to determine whether you might be able to update using that method.) Therefore, you probably want to try installing the latest Mozilla-Firebird without updating your entire system. To do this, after you have installed portupgrade and either rebooted or typed rehash, type # portupgrade -RN mozilla-firebird If you get an error saying a dependency is already installed, you can try # portupgrade -fRN mozilla-firebird I have an alternative to suggest that may be quicker and easier, because building the latest mozilla-firebird from the port is a very long process. Did you install Linux emulation when you installed FreeBSD? If yes, then type # portupgrade linux_base If not, type # portupgrade -RN linux_base or # portupgrade -RN linux_base-8 (As before, if you see an error that a dependency is already installed, try adding the -f option to portupgrade.) Add the following line to your /etc/rc.conf file if it is not already there: linux_enable=YES Then download the Mozilla-Firebird Linux binary from URL: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firebird/releases/0.7/MozillaFirebird-0.7-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz. Install the Linux binary, reboot, and you should have a working version of the latest Mozilla-Firebird on your system in much less time than if you compiled it from a port. Jud P.S. Osmany, please type your replies at the bottom rather than the top of the messages to which you are replying, and try to make some kind of visual separation between the original message and your reply.
