Welcome to Voltalinux, it is the power of a Slackware GNU/Linux and a true ports system, pkgsrc, from NetBSD. Short info about the use of pkgsrc: By te0x to create packages always use bmake to compile and install a port, cd to the port # cd /usr/pkgsrc/net/nmap # bmake and # bmake install ok you have the new port installed! after # bmake clean if you want to prepare a binary package (you can add with pkg_add also in another Voltalinux box) use # bmake package instead of bmake install the new binary package will be in /usr/pkgsrc/packages/All/nmap-3.81.tgz If you want to update the port tree, use CVS, you need openssh. WARNING! the stable tree is better but if you want current you can use it #export CVSROOT=anoncvs@anoncvs.NetBSD.org:/cvsroot #export CVS_RSH=ssh #cd /usr/pkgsrc #cvs -q update -dP bye Author: Matteo Garofano info@sicurezzarete.it
