Re: Setting fetch URIs for portupgrade
I am confused regarding where correct packages for 5.1 release are located. It seems that portupgrade is looking for correct names of the latest packages, but they are never located at the right URI. For example, armada# portupgrade -PP kde --- Checking the availability of the latest package of 'x11/kde3' --- Fetching the package(s) for 'kde-3.1.4' (x11/kde3) --- Fetching kde-3.1.4 fetch: ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.1-release/All/kde -3.1.4.tbz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) ** The command returned a non-zero exit status: 1 ** Failed to fetch ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.1-rel ease/All/kde-3.1.4.tbz fetch: ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.1-release/All/kde -3.1.4.tgz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) ** The command returned a non-zero exit status: 1 ** Failed to fetch ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.1-rel ease/All/kde-3.1.4.tgz ** Failed to fetch kde-3.1.4 ** The following packages were not downloaded (*:skipped / !:failed) ! kde-3.1.4 (fetch error) ** No latest link for '' (x11/kde3) -- giving up ** Could not fetch the latest version '3.1.4' ** The package of 'x11/kde3' is not found. ** The following packages were not installed or upgraded (*:skipped / !:failed) ! x11/kde3 (kde-3.1.2) (package not found) It looks like kde-3.1.4 is the latest package and it is not found at this (supposedly correct) URI: ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.1-release/All/ OTOH I can see that kde-3.1.4 is located at this URI: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages/All This happens to many of packages installed on my system, not only kde. Can I freely grab all I need from the above URI or I may be getting something compiled for a different platform?
