in reference to your last sentence:
........................................
if I have 2500 ports installed, and 20 cannot be bumped, a 'grepped'
pkg_version output puts out 20. So I more or less know the reason
for each one.
.........................................
if just gettext bumping makes that 20 >> 800, it is weeks of recompile
before the number gets down to 20.
.................................................. ......................
.................................................. .....................
so I surmise if getext >> /gettext8/ gettext10/ etc, instead of
those weeks of recompile, I can configure ports which are
already installed, make subdirectories for music,
catch up on paperwork, etc etc. And if it is problematic
for someone who has used FreeBSD for years and years, would
not a "newer way" make the install/usage of FreeBSD easier
for persons who are just starting out??
........................
Apologies for posting here, a post to the freebsd-ports list got
only one reply... maybe I am not illustrative enough in the
request(s).
