++ 24/02/02 22:54 -0500 - Jason Hunt: | Secondly, there is portupgrade. My understanding of portupgrade is | that it will make it's own database of ports. You are also supposed to | use portupgrades own utilities for adding and removing ports. The pkgdb | utility also asks me too many questions. Sorry, I don't like any of this, | I'm stubborn. Maybe I'm just a fool. [...] Well, the pkgdb command only needs to ask all those questions the first time you run it... if you use all the portupgrade(1) tools (portinstall, pkg_deinstall, etc) it will automatically update the pkgdb for you with the appropriate values. It's really the best way to go. :) --pete -- Pete Fritchman [petef@(databits.net|freebsd.org|csh.rit.edu)] finger petef@databits.net for PGP key To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
