If they wanted to keep a clearly obsolete version around for what ever reason it should have been so marked as such. If you meen linux_base-8 than it is marked as DEPRECATED and an EXPIRATION_DATE is set. For someone doing a fresh install, there is no reason to go this route, IMHO. The default port now is linux_base-fc4 and if someone tries to install any linux application from a portstree then the right linux port is installed. And yes, the portstree should be up ta date (note the system the OP asked was a fresh install as of two weeks ago).

When a new, or not, user downloads an image file for FBSD, he/she is getting an image file with this obsoleted version. They must then use 'portupgrade' to change the obsoleted 'linux_base-8' to the newer version. This could easily have been avoided by issuing a newer mirror version. I cannot see any reason why this is not feasible. -- Gerard Seibert [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Can anyon tell me why this port is marked ignore? Has it been superseeded?
From the port's Makefile:
DEPRECATED= unsupported by upstream, no security support anymore
EXPIRATION_DATE=2006-09-01
IGNORE= ${DEPRECATED}
