Hi all, I'm new to this list so bear with me if this has been asked before, but is there a quick way to 'upgrade' a port if its already installed? E.g. I have gnumeric-0.50.0 installed, my ports tree is updated to -0.51.0 (by way of cvsup), what's the quickest way to upgrade gnumeric? I can't go to /usr/ports/math/gnumeric and do a make deinstall, because that's a deinstall of a different version. So now I have to do a pkg_delete gnumeric-0.50.0 and then do a make install... With the upcoming change to ${NAME}-${VERSION}, isn't it possible to make the subdirectories in /var/db/pkg consist of only ${NAME} and then add a 'make upgrade' target that does pkg_delete ${NAME}, make all install ? Yes I'm lazy ;-) Just a thought... Any other ideas also welcome. --Stijn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
