Hi,
I'd like a definitive answer from DA on how to use ports with DA.
1. I'd like to know exactly which packages have been modified by DA (e.g. da_exim), and how they're updated - or do we have to watch the forums to know when they need updating? It'd be great if the admin panel could give us notification of a new da_* version being available.
2. Regarding ports - I ran portupgrade on my new FreeBSD box and it's broken exim and apache. I'm working through this but I need an explanation of what to upgrade and what not to upgrade using the ports system. It'd be nice if DA would integrate better with the ports.
It's quite confusing - for example, I thought DA installed a da_exim packages, but I get this:
[root@server root]pkg_info | grep exim
exim-4.42-1 exim 4.42 mail server
^^ Is that the DA package I presume?
There's also:
gd-2.0.33_1,1 A graphics library for fast creation of images
...but I thought that was updated using DA's custom apache system?
Any help is much appreciated
Many thanks,
Matt
