Should be no reason to install MOST ports on a minor upgrade like 12.1 to 12.2. I certainly have not found any need. For major version upgrades, it is recommended that all ports be reinstalled though only a minority actually need it. It's just hard to be sure which ones. The big exception is ports that provide kernel modules. Most of these will work after a minor upgrade, but a few are rather touchy. The most touchy, in my experience, are the drm-kmod ports and, a bit less so, virtualbox-ose-kmod. I keep full sources on my systems, so I just add them to PORTS_MODULES in /etc/src.conf so that they are built with my kernel. PORTS_MODULES=3D emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod PORTS_MODULES+=3D sysutils/lsof PORTS_MODULES+=3D graphics/drm-fbsd12.0-kmod I realize that this can be a problem for some, but one system of a given architecture can build a package that can be added to all others. A special case is lsof. lsof actually looks through certain kernel sources to build some things and it is important that you either have a package built against the sources for the current kernel or that you build the port against the correct contents of /usr/src/sys/. You don't need full sources... just the kernel. I don't believe that any other port has such a requirement except kernel modules. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683 On Thu, Oct 29, 2020 at 11:28 AM Matthias Fechner <idefix@fechner.net> wrote: > Am 29.10.2020 um 16:17 schrieb Jack Raats: > > New situation: > > > > FreeBSD 12.2-RELEASE, the rest was the same. > > > > Every night after 03:00 am the clamav daemon stops working so postfix > stops working (even dovecot) > > > > Strange, but I know that after 03:00 am periodic daily runs. > > I had to reinstall all packages: > pkg upgrade -f -y > > Gru=C3=9F > Matthias > > -- > > "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to > build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the universe trying to > produce bigger and better idiots.
