As I recall (I've not used it for awhile), the pkg_version man page *and* the script that you can generate both state flatly that it's a bad idea to just try to blindly run the script. My recommendation to you, if you really want to do this (and I still don't think it's the best idea in the world), is the following sequence: install portupgrade configure pkgtools.conf to put your INDEX someplace where cvsup won't overwrite it. portsdb -uU pkgdb -uF portupgrade -aF in that order. -- Chris BeHanna http://www.pennasoft.com Principal Consultant PennaSoft Corporation chris@pennasoft.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
