On my Thinkpad with 5.4 I'm able to use portupgrade -PP[&c]
to upgrade my ports via packages, but on my 5.3 platform I get
---> Fetching abiword-plugins-2.4.1
fetch:
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.3-release/All/abiword-plugins-2.4.1.tbz:
File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
** The command returned a non-zero exit status: 1
Do we have to be this restrictive? I can see keeping the
versions 4.x, 5.x, 6.x, 7.x, nd so forth separate, but no
reason to *not* let the majority of ports for, say, AbiWord,
from being able t be installed by package instead of having
to pull over the source tarball ...
Hopefully somebody can shed some insights.
