So am I to understand the package tree is considered part of the ports, i've
fetching the packages from
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/sparc64/packages-6-stable/All/
I don't have a local ports tree, since i'm tight on space ( only 20gig HDD
).
Can ports be fetched remotely?
Thanks
Gary
from /usr/ports/UPDATE, you need to rebuild all ports...
AFFECTS: users of devel/gettext (i.e.: YOU)
AUTHOR: ade at FreeBSD.org
As a result of the upgrade to gettext-0.17, the shared library version
of libintl has changed, so you will need to rebuild all ports that
depend on gettext:
# portupgrade -rf gettext
# portmaster -r gettext\*
Given the scope and sheer number of dependent ports, it may be more
advisable to simply blow away all existing install ports (after
keeping any local configuration changes), and rebuilding from scratch.
good luck!!
