I forgot about that I have different portinstall, so yes you are right about the one from portupgrade's portinstall will not work. =================================== # grep xorg /usr/ports/INDEX # grep xorg /usr/ports/INDEX-5 [...empty...] # ee /usr/ports/x11/xorg/Makefile (6.7.0 -> 6.7.1) # pkg_version -l \< mysql-client < xorg < # portupgrade -ra ---> Skipping 'databases/mysql41-client' because it is held by user (specify -f to force) ---> Skipping 'databases/p5-DBD-mysql41' because it is held by user (specify -f to force) ---> Skipping 'x11/nvidia-driver' because it is held by user (specify -f to force) ---> Upgrading 'xorg-6.7.0' to 'xorg-6.7.1' (x11/xorg) ---> Building '/usr/ports/x11/xorg' ===> Cleaning for libiconv-1.9.1_3 [...goes on...] =================================== I never have rebuild the INDEX at all, which it doesn't need for the portupgrade to upgrade stuff. As for XFree86-fontScalable, I just point it to xorg-fonts-truetype. Cheers, Mezz > /Joe -- mezz7@cox.net - mezz@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD GNOME Team http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/ - gnome@FreeBSD.org
