The recommendation from the guys in #freebsd in freenode was for [you] to build pkg&#x27;s yourself from ports, which means you always have versions you know work lying around.<p>I thought it was a nice idea, and they really push this as being &quot;an easy thing anybody should be able to do&quot;.<p>which fits with my philosophy of &quot;severs should not have&#x2F;use compilers&quot;
