I'm planning on upgrading a bunch of stuff (mainly base system and X) soon, but I'm curious as to the order I should upgrade in. I've got 4.5 now and XFree86-4.0.2_6 from ports. When making the world, there's an option for NO_X11 (or something like that), so I'm just curious as to what actually depends on that and if the version matters? Should I upgrade the OS first or X first? I'm getting the impression that it doesn't matter, but I'm paranoid. I'm a little spooked about using portupgrade for XF86 - I can't figure out why it doesn't understand the versioning on my system - when I run portversion it shows MANY of my packages have a version GREATER than /usr/ports, even after cvsupping /usr/ports and rebuilding the index. I tried portupgrade for a few things and it started "upgrading" dependencies but it actually tried to install lesser versions before I stopped it. Can anyone suggest the best old-style route to upgrading X? I'm guessing I should rebuild all my X-dependent ports as well? thanks -- Steve Tremblett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
