I used "bsdpak --upgradepackages" to build a list of packages to update. A few hours later and the script to update packages is still going. It built the perl 14 times:

===> Installing for perl-5.6.1nb7
===> perl-5.6.1nb7 conflicts with installed package(s): perl-mk-1.0  found.

So I deleted perl-mk with pkg_delete.

I think because of that problem teTeX-texmf was built twice:

** Get yourself a shower and a big mug of coffee,
** this will take _very_ long!

The package update script almost took nine hours:

real    511m36.924s
user    178m7.620s
sys     29m41.981s

(See tomorrow for more details.)

gvim and gv say:

Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset

(See 10/May/2002)

Now gs is defaulting to A4 as default papersize. gs is built by default to use A4. The config file /usr/pkg/share/ghostscript/6.01vflib/lib/gs_init.ps says "letter" is default, but really it isn't. It is an easy workaround to use -sPAPERSIZE with my gs wrapper. I also made a patch for papersize package to support ghostscript. I sent my patch and asked for comments to the tech-pkg list. Send-pr'd on 05/Jul/2002.
