FreeBSD-ports_at_freebsd.org list suits better for such a letter. 2. Your approach is not correct, because there are many ports which _do_ refer different versions of the same product. Just now: Port name Distfiles lang/gcc33 gcc-core-3.3.6.tar.bz2 ... lang/gcc34 gcc-core-3.4.6.tar.bz2 ... lang/gcc40 gcc-core-4.0-20060622.tar.bz2 ... lang/gcc41 gcc-core-4.1-20060623.tar.bz2 ... For the _correct_ approach, see, e.g., portsclean -D which comes with the port sysutils/portupgrade. > Rudy Sincerely, Dmitry -- Atlantis ISP, System Administrator e-mail: dmitry_at_atlantis.dp.ua nic-hdl: LYNX-RIPEReceived on Fri Jun 30 2006 - 07:00:06 UTC
