Hi All,
Please excuse if this is newbie question. But I am trying to build a FreeBSD system that will hopefully be used at my work and serve as the basis for a wider deployment of FreeBSD. As part of that I want to make sure it is maintained and as much as possible automated. I have setup jobs to run freebsd-update and portsnap. Something I have noted is that the two packages postgresql-contrib and en-freebsd-doc keep showing up in the version check.
I have updated my ports tree with portsnap but still if I rebuild postgresql-contrib it is the same version 8.4.3_2? What am I missing? Is 8.2.15_2 out? Is it newer or not? I think it would be but pkg_version seems to think its not. Should I just ignore this package and run
instead?
Again I have a similar issue with en-freebsd-doc. Though rather then build it from source (as I have seen other people complain about the large amount of dependencies required). I simple used pkg_delete and pkg_add -r. However I got the same version. Doing a serach in google I found a tar ball for the new version here
http://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8-stable/docs/en-freebsd-doc-20100410.tbz
But the main FreeBSD FTP Repositories seem to have the older 20090913
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8.0-release/Latest/en-freebsd-doc.tbz
So is there actually updated documentation? Should I just download the new tarball and install it? Why aren't the main FTP repo's up to date?
Regards Petz
