It's really not that > difficult to run CVSup and then 'portupgrade', it really isn't. i have some ports/packages in production from the time when packages didn't have ORIGIN lines in /var/db/pkg/*. what would be the best use (options) to run portupgrade(1) with? i get lots of warnings that scare me off. the old packages/ports come from freebsd-4.6, and i'm currently tracking releng4. another related question: part of the installed software belongs to a custom system using dan bernstein products. some of it are old ports that i had to upgrade from recent CVS-releases. can i just delete the related directories in var/db/pkg/ and force a rebuilt of the database? a good way for me to recover would really be to just delete the database entries somehow, but without deleting the installed files. this is especially easy for me, because i always carefully check a ports Makefile, the pkg-* files to make sure that i know where the ports files get installed, and i always log the entire "make install" in a Readme file. clemens
