Can't find linux_base-c6-6.4_1 in /usr/ports

Hi,

I want to install linux_base-c6-6.4_1 in my FreeBSD 10.0 REL, but it seems its not available in my ports tree?

It's listed here http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=linux_base&stype=all&sektion=all and I find many discussions in the web, which are fairly new, so I must miss something obviously :\

In my /etc/portsnap.conf I have:

portsnap.FreeBSD.org

Please enlighten me!

hmm, shame on me. I changed the paths in the config to have a new db and ports path, did a portsnap fetch extract an now it's there. Something in my installation must be wrong... :OOO

Got it. So for anyone being blind as me: I commented out the

INDEX INDEX-8 DESCRIBE.8
INDEX INDEX-9 DESCRIBE.9

lines in the config. Bad idea, as the packaged I wanted is not listed in INDEX-10.

Are you looking for @xmj's c6 ports?

Those are available on github. You would get them with
git clone [url=http://github.com/xmj/linux-ports/]http://github.com/xmj/linux-ports/[/url]

If you use those, you shouldn't have to edit anything in ports once you've run the command mentioned in its README.md
