Hello,
I would like to know how ports trees are distributed. For e.g. I first went to openports.se and to Solene's website to search for ports I find gnome version 42.1
Code:
https://openports.se/meta/gnome
and
Code:
https://openports.pl/path/meta/gnome
pkg_add installs gnome 41, so I downloaded the ports tree. Ports tree also has gnome 41. So I went to CVSweb to search and I get to the following page
Code:
http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/meta/gnome/Makefile
which indicates that there's gnome 42 in ports tree in CVS.
So I checkedout the CVS ports tree using -r OPENBSD_7_1
After that
Code:
cd /usr/ports/meta/gnome
cat Makefile
COMMENT-main=GNOME desktop meta-package (core installation)
COMMENT-extras=GNOME desktop meta-package (world installation)
# sync with gnome-desktop GNOME_VERSION
V=41.5
PKGNAME=gnome-${V}
What's happening here? This is not anything I wish to install. I just wish to understand the system better.
