The package may still be lagging a few versions behind the port however (or in some cases may not even exist). What about the variable PKG_SITES? Once I found (in sime wiki or howto) this entry: export PACKAGESITE=ftp://ftp7.de.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/Latest/ export PKG_SITES=ftp://ftp7.de.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/ what about that variable PKG_SITES? what is it for?

Is there a variable I can set so that running 'make install' in a port directory will cause it to download the package, if available, and install that instead of building from source? In other words, the equivalent of 'portupgrade -NPP'. I have looked at the .mk files and nothing in there seems to do that. This is for the situation where portupgrade isn't installed yet, and I'd like to install it quickly from packages so I don't have to wait for Ruby to build. Sure, I could do it with pkg_add or sysinstall but it would be neat to be able to do everything from the ports tree. thanks, joel Unfortunately none that I'm aware of. You can always install Ruby (and its dependencies) from packages though ;). -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
