Seeking 6.4 make source for ports

2012-06-19 Thread Michael R. Wayne
Google is littered with messages from people who have 6.3 systems and can no longer upgrade ports. It appears that a recent change requires the version of make from 6.4. While it would be ideal if freebsd.org would build a 6.4 make on a 6.3 system and pseudo-officially support it, a reasonable al

I brought this up on irc, did not get a helpful answer. After upgrading a machine from 8.4 to 9.3, I went to upgrade ports/packages. Some need to be built from source as they use non-standard options but most should be installable directly with pkg install. Note that both pkg and pkg-devel exh
