Hi all,
first of all I'm new to synth, and trying it on a virtual machine of
mine I got different output:
olivia# uname -a
FreeBSD olivia 11.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE #0 r321309: Fri Jul
21 02:08:28 UTC 2017
root at releng2.nyi.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64
olivia# portmaster -a
===>>> Gathering distinfo list for installed ports
===>>> Starting check of installed ports for available updates
===>>> All ports are up to date
olivia# synth status
Querying system about current package installations.
Stand by, comparing installed packages against the ports tree.
Scanning existing packages.
These are the ports that would be built ([N]ew, [R]ebuild, [U]pgrade):
N => net/samba46
N => ports-mgmt/dialog4ports
N => ports-mgmt/portmaster
N => ports-mgmt/synth
N => security/nmap
N => security/sudo
N => shells/bash
N => shells/zsh
Total packages that would be built: 8
The complete build list can also be found at:
/tmp/synth_status_results.txt
So while portmasters is quiet and states it is all updated, synth
reports I need some ports to be installed, such as samba. Please note
that I logged in with zsh, done a sudo and run synth, so such packages
are installed!
Please also note that before running both commands I performed a
dist-clean of all the ports tree (if that matters).
What am I missing?
Thanks,
Luca
