Can anybody tell me about /etc/make.conf in FreeBSD-5.2.1 ??
Yesterday I moved away /etc/make.conf that looked like this: pcm2028.dti.supsi.ch# cat /etc/make.conf.back # -- use.perl generated deltas -- # # Created: Thu Nov 13 18:49:33 2003 # Setting to use base perl from ports: PERL_VER=5.6.1 PERL_VERSION=5.6.1 PERL_ARCH=mach NOPERL=yo NO_PERL=yo NO_PERL_WRAPPER=yo
then I went on on upgrading my ports system as described in /usr/ports/UPDATING..
# portupgrade -o lang/perl5.8 -f perl-5.6.1_15 # portupgrade -f p5-\*
and all the rest till # portupgrade -rf textproc/expat2
today, I went on to do make buildworld and checked /etc/make.conf and guess what? It is again there: pcm2028.dti.supsi.ch# cat /etc/make.conf # -- use.perl generated deltas -- # # Created: Tue Aug 10 16:35:06 2004 # Setting to use base perl from ports: PERL_VER=5.6.1 PERL_VERSION=5.6.1 PERL_ARCH=mach NOPERL=yo NO_PERL=yo NO_PERL_WRAPPER=yo
so.. I just upgraded perl to 5.8, but somehow in /etc/make.conf it says to use version 5.6.1..
why?
pcm2028.dti.supsi.ch# which perl /usr/bin/perl
pcm2028.dti.supsi.ch# perl --version This is perl, v5.6.1 built for i386-freebsd
pcm2028.dti.supsi.ch# pkg_info|grep perl

Thank you.
This is because perl 5.6.1 is the one used by default. You can switch betwenn using the perl that came with the base system (5.6.1) and the most recent perl that's in the ports by doing
`use.perl system'
and
`use.perl port'
respectively (the argument to the top one might be "base" instead of "system", I'm not sure).
If you do this alot, /etc/make.conf will fill up with sections starting with # -- use.perl generated deltas -- #, so I usually clean up every now and then, leaving only one copy of them in.
Hopte this helps!
