Using ports and updates to the release

2020-10-11 Thread Ed Gray
Hi, I'm still fairly new to openbsd and the idea of using ports in general rather than binary packages. Is it necessary to keep the ports tree updated if using a release version of openbsd e.g. pulling the stable tree from CVS before building new software? Regards Ed Fray

Thanks Stuart, That was quite a complete answer. I think in my case to be certain any errors I might find using ports are not due to something outdated on my system I should follow your instructions and pull the updated CVS first especially after doing a release upgrade. Regards Ed Gray On Thu

of the ports tree? The following question is then if I have a problem building a port due to an outdated dependency on a supported release should I report it as an issue with the port even if a newer release of openbsd does not have the issue?

Hi Sivan, I think you need to provide more details on your problem if you want some help at least a log from X and what is in your .xsession file. You also mentioned errors but don't say what they are. Did you upgrade the packages each time you upgraded the system? Regards Ed Gray On Wed, 3
