RE: where to find what a port will try to download
Thanks Matthew. Somehow I again find myself better informed, much entertained, and pleasantly foolish. Hopefully I am soon to acquire the skill of looking for things in the places where they can be found. Thanks again.

Finding what the distfiles are is easy: % cd /usr/ports/java/jdk14 % make -V DISTFILES j2sdk-1_4_2-src-scsl.zip j2sdk-1_4_2-bin-scsl.zip bsd-jdk14-patches-6.tar.gz As someone else said in this thread, you could also got and look at FreshPorts.org to get this information. This use of 'make -V' is essentially what FreshPorts does, except it does a scan over the whole ports tree in one swell foop and stores the results in a database for later use in constructing web pages. > I while back, when I knew less than nothing about > cvsup, you mentioned that the JDK14 port now used > a newer file from Sun. (the '_05' instead of the > '_04' I was looking for) Well, you mentioned the older file in your message, and I happened to know that the latest java/jdk14 patchlevel version was _06 on my machine. Which it has been for several months -- if we really were talking about _05 then it must have been so long ago that I've completely forgotten the conversation. Besides, you're not the first person to have run into exactly this problem on the FreeBSD mailing lists. > How did you know the port wanted the newer file ? Well, a long, long time ago (more than a year) I rather incautiously promised to write an article about using Java on FreeBSD. After many months of studiously ignoring the part-completed work and doing other more interesting stuff, I finally thought to myself "Enough is enough. Finish the damn thing off and put it up on the Web." So I had all the numbers, etc. at my fingertips anyhow. And, no, that article is not yet finished, and I have again been distracted by other, more interesting, things. > And how did you find out the exact name ?

Is this what you were looking for? Hi Will - thanks. I can see the _05 file easily, but looking at freshports for jdk14, I cant see the other files that are downloaded into distfiles (eg, there are 3 more j2sdk* files required as well). Taking one as an example - j2sdk-1_4_2-src-scsl.zip. It is not at all clear to me where this file is named as part of the jdk14 download, or even where it appears in the Makefile. Any other clues ? Many thanks Peter are defined as part of jdk14. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
