Ran make update and the system decided to install Gnome?
Hi,
I'm quite new to NetBSD though I am familiar with FreeBSD and OpenBSD; I am having a strange issue on my Sun SPARC box with no graphics card. I followed the NetBSD documents: http://www.netbsd.org/docs/updating.html http://www.netbsd.org/docs/pkgsrc/getting.html#uptodate http://wiki.netbsd.org/pkgsrc/how_to_upgrade_packages/ http://www.netbsd.org/docs/pkgsrc/us...l#pkg_versions In order to update the packages that I built from pkgsrc, I went to /usr/pkgsrc then ran: Code:
make update I started the whole process by first upgrading from version 6.0 to 6.0.1 again by using the documentation and that went fine; then updated the pkgsrc tree via CVS and now the packages. I'm wondering if I did something wrong or if there was a better way to update by using a tool similar to portupgrade or portmaster etc.... It looks like currently there are a bunch of things which are being installed which were not there before either? Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? The box should basically be used as a bare bones server without any graphical interfaces and doesn't need them installed as I only run: ntp snmp cacti ntop bind on the system. Thanks in advance for any help! |

I never had Gnome installed previously?? I always thought that using "source packages" was the best as these were "ports" but I maybe confusing between Free/OpenBSD though. Since with "ports" one can configure directly to what one needs in terms of package support etc.... rather then a pre-built binary which has 'everything' in it. |

Whether you build by port and install the resulting package or install the package directly, there's no real difference unless you tweak the port's Makefile for custom options.
