Re: ports not detecting packages in PKG_PATH
But you wrote that you upgraded ports from release to current. Did you upgrade your system to current too? Every time use mirrors for packages, it saves bandwidth and you can have couple of them in PKG_PATH. Quoth section 15 of the FAQ: Do NOT check out a -current ports tree and expect it to work on a -release or -stable system. This is one of the most common errors and you will irritate people when you ask for help about why nothing seems to work! D'oh! Sorry, I misread that originally, and I had thought that it was saying that we shouldn't mix different branches of ports together, not different branches of ports and the system. Indeed, that exactly what I've done. My apologies, a classic RTFM. -Ersin -- Ersin Y.

Re: ports not detecting packages in PKG_PATH
You found that so no problem ;-) Now you can do rm -rf /usr/ports and then unpack ports.tar.gz for 4.8 release again I just wish there was some way to get gnash 0.88 on stable...that was really the only reason I tried to upgrade. Do the packages in current normally find themselves in the next release? I noticed that Gnash .83p4 is in 4.8 and was released to ports on June 25th, just a few months before 4.8's release...so maybe we can get the YouTube-y goodness of .88 in time for 4.9 =D?? -- Ersin Y.

By which exact syntax? pkg_add(1) gives you the syntax, personally I don't see much advantage to listing more than one mirror there, if you use releases all mirrors should have all the files anyway, if you use snapshots you increase the chance of mismatching packages from several different builds.

ports not detecting packages in PKG_PATH
Hi, I recently upgraded my ports tree from 4.8 release to current, but now it's not detecting any dependency packages in my PKG_PATH. PKG_PATH is set to the main openbsd.org package site and pkg_add works perfectly fine. I did notice that I was trying to use ports earlier tonight with a different PKG_PATH set to a mirror that was apparently offline, and that's when I changed it to the master site. Is ports perhaps remembering the wrong site? Valete, Ersin -- Ersin Y. Akinci -- ersinakinci.com What Digital Revolution? -- www.whatdigitalrevolution.com Thinking critically about digital worlds.
Re: ports not detecting packages in PKG_PATH
read this first http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq15.html ports don't use PKG_PATH, but AnonCVS for updates/upgrades. Ports are using PKG_PATH only when you set FETCH_PACKAGES see here http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=portssektion=7 Sorry, I should have specified that I have FETCH_PACKAGES=Yes in /etc/mk.conf. -- Ersin Y.
