Hello, I'm fairly new to freebsd, and as an exercise I am attempting to upgrade a freebsd 8.0 release to 8.1 release.
I've successfully upgraded the freebsd system to 8.1-RELEASE using freebsd-update -r etc., but I am lost how to upgrade gnome from 2.26 to 2.28
I have seen lots of articles about building the ports, but I am trying to just use the packages - is this possible or do I have to rebuild from the port sources ?
Also, no idea how, but if I
I never attempted to install 2.30, so whats going on here ?
thanks

pkg_add -r gnome2, I get:
Code:
pkg_add: package 'gnome2-2.30.1_1' or its older version already installedI never attempted to install 2.30, so whats going on here ?
