This is extremely important. The UPDATING file is in reverse chronological order and each ent list the port affected. I am a fan of portupgrade. To get a list of ports that are not up to date use pkg_version -v. At this point you should not need the -f option to portupgrade. No need to waste time rebuilding ports that do not ned rebuilding. portupgrade -a should be all you need. Another way to reveal what did not get updated is to run portupgrade -an The -n will cause portupgrade to show what it would do without actually doing anything. This won't help when port B depends on something in port A that will be updated. Another portupgrade option that may help you is -R. Put it all together and you get portupgrade -aR --batch Note that the handbook does not show -a and -R being used together. My thinking is that without the -R a new version of an existing port that requires something new -- that you do not already have -- will fail. Rather unlikely, to start with portupgrade -a --batch and use -R only if you still getb errors. Gary Dunn Open Slate Project
