If I want to upgrade a port, apache for example, what is the best way to proceed? I could 'make deinstall' in the old port, before using cvsup to update my ports. However, although I can do this for one port, I'm not going to do it for every installed port, every time I update the collection. So some will get left out. If I just cvsup my ports, and make install, then will there be leftover binaries from the old version kicking around on my server? Will the pkg database be accurate? Thanks. -Brent /********************************************************* * PGP: 4E5C 7BAE F756 1994 F33D 12BC 036C 25F0 2285 4DC7 *********************************************************/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
