Users Digest, Vol 6, Issue 20

[rll at insightbb.com]

Ok,

When I go to /usr there is no dports folder.
It does not come with dragonfly.
So where is it?
Do I need to download it?
I now get that we are replacing pkg with one that comes with freebsd.,
A few basic steps is what I am looking for.
I cannot make dports-create. There is no such option in the dragonfly
Makefile.
Thanks

When you try to build any port from source, pkg is built first.  You can
also built pkg by "cd /usr/dports/ports-mgmt/pkg && make install".
At that point you could install binaries if you had a repository.

/usr/pkgsrc can stay.
I'd would recommend "mv /usr/pkg /usr/pkg.moved" so the conflict
resolution isn't so drastic.

xfce 4.10 might be for you then for the basic desktop.

I'm not aware of that bragging.
