Thats a great question, and it appears that the 6.2-release packages repository has been removed. Looking in ftp.freebsd.org I see 5-stable, 6-stable, 6.3-release, 7-stable, 7.0-release, and 8-current. There is no 6.2-release directory so "pkg_add -r" returns an error for any package that you try to load. Very aggravating. Apparently the release team is only providing packages for the most recent streams. I'd like to know why that is, and also why they insist on listing "packages" under "ports". The documentation makes it very clear there is a difference between the two. Why anyone on the release team thinks it's intuitive to look for a ready-to-go "package" under a "ports" directory which has been defined by documentation as something that needs to be compiled, is a mystery to simpletons like myself. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
