I am updating i386 system (portupgrade -aP) and whole lot of binary
packages are missing.
For example, gcc-4.5.0, qt4-corelib are examples of large packages that
are missing that don't require too many dependencies and are very basic.
I know, it may be caused by failed dependencies, copyright restrictions,
etc. But it's hard to imagive why they are missing for these two: no
copyright restrictions, and almost no dependencies.
This unfortunately slows down many people.
Is there any solution to this problem? Maybe people just forget about
this build server and some minor fix wil help?
Maybe some other ports have licenses that prevent the distribution of
packages, but not lang/gcc45 and devel/qt4-corelib. Where did you
instruct portupgrade and the base system package tools to look for
them? Is your ports tree up-to-date? I see, on the ftp servers:
http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/lang/gcc-4.5.2.20100923.tbz
http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7-stable/lang/gcc-4.5.2.20100923.tbz
http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.0-release/lang/gcc-4.5.0.20090924.tbz
http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/lang/gcc-4.5.1.20100701.tbz

http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-9-current/lang/gcc-4.5.2.20100923.tbz
Also:
http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/devel/qt4-corelib-4.6.3.tbz
...
My system is 8.1-stable and portupgrade looks at
http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.1-stable
No sure what is packages-8-stable, shouldn't it be the same?
System should at least have binaries of all packages that are required
to install kde4/gnome/firefox/thunderbird -- major x11 environments and
programs people use.
