pkg_add and ports

K

killwin

Hello,

How to configure pkg_add to install same versions as ports ?

Because i want to mix pkg_add and install ports without warnings or errors like "bidule-3.0.1 is installed but this version need bidule-3.1.3"

Thanks :p
 
I don't think that is possible, because packages are usually a little time behind ports.
What you can do is to change your PACKAGESITE environment variable to stable or current. For instance, I use:

Code: 
PACKAGESITE=ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8-stable/Latest/

This gives you the newest packages for the stable version. You could try current too, but that is not recommended!
 
Note: when using PACKAGEROOT or PACKAGESITE, please use a local mirror (usually ftp.<countrycode>.freebsd.org, e.g. ftp.fr.freebsd.org), or you may experience very slow (or failing) downloads.
