I installed cvsup from ports, copied /usr/share/examples/ports-supfile to /root, editted it (the only change I made was to specify a server), then said: cvsup -L 2 /root/ports-supfile It then downloaded the current ports tree. When it was done, I installed portupgrade and said: portsdb -uU pkgdb -F After that, I got a list of the outdated ports by saying: pkg_version -vL '=' NOTE: If you're running courier-imap from ports and you update it using portupgrade, you will need to stop the courier services and backup the configuration files and SSL certificates. I didn't do this and make deinstall only partially removed the old courier-imap port. I then had to edit the +CONTENTS file for the old courier-imap port and run pkg_delete again. It was a big pain. These are the files that should be moved to a different directory (like /root), they are your configuration files, so don't just delete them: /usr/local/etc/courier-imap/authdaemonrc /usr/local/etc/courier-imap/imapd /usr/local/etc/courier-imap/imapd-ssl /usr/local/etc/courier-imap/imapd.cnf /usr/local/etc/courier-imap/pop3d /usr/local/etc/courier-imap/pop3d-ssl /usr/local/etc/courier-imap/pop3d.cnf /usr/local/share/courier-imap/pop3d.pem /usr/local/share/courier-imap/imapd.pem You should also make sure /usr/local/var/authdaemon/ is empty. You will want to make sure there are no running authdaemond instances running before clearing out this directory, though. Issuing the stop command to all couriertcpd processes should take care of this for you. > On Tue, Jun 25, 2002 at 07:27:11PM -0700 or thereabouts, Darren Pilgrim wrote: > > Aaron Burke wrote: > > > > From: Darren Pilgrim > > > > > > > > I have a 4.5-R machine for which I'd like to update my ports tree. > > > > I really just want the current openssh-portable port, but I figure I > > > > might as well update the whole tree while I'm at it.
