That is to say; I somewhat frequently suck down the latest source for system and ports for the release I run on my servers (RELENG_5_4 - soon to be 5_5) and usually rebuildworld/ kernel, and *painfully* the ports I already have installed. Which brings me to my issue; Is there any way to rebuild (upgrade) the ports I already have installed, and *only* the ports I already have installed? I have recently discovered portmaster. Which is heads-and-tails over portupgrade. But (from my personal knowlede/ experience) it doesn't provide a "one shot" command/ option to achieve my desired goal. Many times while upgrading one of the ports, it will fail during installation with the "HEY! this port is already installed! You may wish to cd to the ports directory and execute port deinstall, then port reinstall" What?! I'm *upgrading* (or at least trying) this port. :\ Anyway, thank you for all your time and consideration. --Chris H. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p12 (SMP - 900x2) Tue Mar 7 19:37:23 PST 2006 ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// --=_3n5ls3rswtq8 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: PGP Digital Signature Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBEaRbqXxK1cRs0zxkRApNWAJ46Uh1njLWOTr1EakBUtxMMamSKIQCfTfAH QXAiojq31xgb6dW/Ax3JYoE= =JNXU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=_3n5ls3rswtq8--
