X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 02 Mar 2011 17:57:15 -0000 Hi folks, I'm looking at using portmaster to rebuild my ports collection and I'm wondering if using the command: portmaster -afv --no-confirm --clean-distfiles-all (-a - check all ports, update as necessary, -f - always rebuild ports, -v - verbose output, --no-confirm - do not ask the user to confirm the list of ports to be installed and/or updated before proceeding, --clean-distfiles-all - recurse through the installed ports to get a list of distinfo files, then recurse through all files in /usr/ports/distfiles to make sure that they are still associated with an installed port, delete all files without prompting) Do you think that's a little too much automation, or do you think that would be pretty safe to run without screwing things up? :-) Ed
