Works and Doesn't Work
I did not see the message fly by after typing 'make install clean':
Code:
Press CTRL-C and define DEFAULT_CVS_SERVER
(e.g. make DEFAULT_CVS_SERVER=":pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs. ... .FreeBSD.org:/home/ncvs" install)
And when i saw this I used the command:
Code:
make DEFAULT_CVS_SERVER=":pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.FreeBSD.org:/home/ncvs" install
to install portdowngrade, and afterwards entered the command
(as a test), and I got the various prompts for which wine I want.
Code:
Seeking port wine ...
Found several matches:
1: deskutils/q4wine
2: editors/winefish
3: emulators/wine
4: emulators/wine-doors
Please choose one:
I then got prompted for a password when i tried again with the -o option, but I have not gotten that far as I am still trying to figure out the first part of it. Note that this was on my file server whose ports have NOT been updated since installed via the CD. The ports version is what came on the v7.3 CD. Once i get things going, I don't like messing with it.
So, I go to two different machines on which the ports were updated yesterday (17 Sept 2010), uninstall, and use the same procedure. I enter portdowngrade wine as a test, and I get
Code:
Seeking port wine ... not found
on both machines whose ports were updated yesterday. I uninstalled and installed more than once and with the same results.
I also went to another partition of FBSD whose ports have not been updated since installing from the CD (v7.3) and it works properly except for the password thing. I have not gotten that far yet, although i entered 'anoncvs' and it was rejected, but i really don't know if that is what you have to enter (I'm not that far.) Maybe I got something miss-configured in the new ports version, but I don't see how. I really don't have many ports installed yet.
I am not even near an expert on FBSD, but something is amiss and i suspect something in the ports if I had to make an uneducated guess.
On the systems with the new ports, I tried the -s option and everything else. Different servers etc, and it did not work. I did not try the -s option with the systems on which the ports have not been updated, but I suspect that it would work properly just by what I have seen so far.
