Upgrading to another way of processing forces me to raise my learning curve by doing things of which I am not yet certain I know what I am doing. > If I read this correctly: You have previously been using compiled (by > you) versions of the mentioned programs, and pkg didn't upgrade them? I use the following method: # svn update /usr/src svn update /usr/ports svn info /usr/src svn info /usr/ports # cd /usr/ports make fetchindex cd /usr/local/etc portsdb -fu after which I report myself by email and do a manual portmaster -a (previous portupgrade -a) to get synced very day. > Tools like portmaster can be used here.

See "man portmaster" for details, especially > the -P and -PP options. > Thanks for this. Will check that out (too). Best regards, Jos Chrispijn
