Re: Missing pkg-descr - Correction

2006-12-13 Thread Chad Gross

Wyane,

Is there a specific reason you need ports/jdk15? If not, try
java/diablo-jdk15. The latter is the result of the FreeBSD Foundation's deal
with Sun.

Dear FreeBSD,

The following Missing pkg-descr is happening to me a lot, with many
packages.  This time it was during portinstall jdk15.

===  Installing for m4-1.4.8_1
===   Generating temporary packing list
** Missing pkg-descr for m4-1.4.8_1.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/devel/m4.
*** Error code 1

This time it is on a brand-new install of FreeBSD 6.2.

How can I be responsible for the pkg-descr.

This is the second time I have asked this question.  I got
no help before.  My email was down briefly.  Did I miss the answer?

Thank you,

This suggests that your ports tree is incomplete for some reason; you  
should review how you are updating the ports tree and see whether  
there is some problem there-- or check the Handbook for other methods  
of updating /usr/ports...

Wayne, I think you may have missed the answer.

What directory are you running make from?   Is it /usr/ports/java/jdk15?  

/usr/ports is the default location for ports, but you may get this error if 
you attempt to make a valid port from an invalid directory, or with invalid 
entries in /usr/ports/Mk or even in /etc/make.conf

How are you updating your ports tree?
