Re: Crypto missing after FreeBSD-Update to 6.2-RELEASE

What makes you think that the crypto code is missing?

 With previous versions of freebsd-update I would have used --branch, but later
 versions this option is omitted. What's the safest way to get freebsd-update 
 to
 recognise that I need the crypto libraries and install them?

Starting in FreeBSD 5.3, the cryptographic libraries were required instead of
being optional; and starting at some point in 5.x -- I can't remember exactly
when -- the kerberos code stopped being distributed as separate distributions.
Since the --branch option had become obsolete, I removed it. :-)

 PS On a side note, what happened to the IDS option? I'd like to use it to
 exclude files in a backup script. If you have a suggestion for nice 
 alternative,
 please let me know :-)

I removed the IDS option because I didn't think anyone used it.  Since then I
have heard from lots of people who used it, so I'm going to add the IDS option
back soon. :-)

Re: Crypto missing after FreeBSD-Update to 6.2-RELEASE

Hi Colin,

Thanks for your reply.

 What makes you think that the crypto code is missing?

When I try to install www/apache20 from ports, I get this error:

Dependency error: this port requires the OpenSSL library, which is part of
the FreeBSD crypto distribution but not installed on your
machine. Please see the OpenSSL section in the handbook
(at http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/openssl.html;, 
for instance)
for instructions on how to obtain and install the FreeBSD
OpenSSL distribution.
*** Error code 1

I presume that since OpenSSL isn't installed, the crypto dist would be missing 
too? What's the best way to verify that?

 I removed the IDS option because I didn't think anyone used it.  Since
 then I
 have heard from lots of people who used it, so I'm going to add the IDS
 option
 back soon. :-)

Great news :-) 

Many thanks for your help,
Matt
