Read past the '# script xorg-upgrade' line in UPDATING - until the line '= # exit' - there are about a dozen steps to do the upgrade, there is no single program to do it. These are the steps from UPDATING (with the commentary removed): # script xorg-upgrade # portupgrade -f -o ports-mgmt/portupgrade-devel portupgrade # rm -f /usr/ports/INDEX*.db /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db # pkgdb -fu # cd /usr/ports && make index # cd /usr/ports && make fetchindex For users of csh-like shells: # setenv XORG_UPGRADE yes For users of sh-like shells: # export XORG_UPGRADE=3Dyes # portupgrade -Rf libXft # portupgrade -a # portupgrade -a -x 'gstreamer*' # portupgrade -Rr 'gstreamer*' # portupgrade -aP # pkg_delete xorg-manpages\* # sh /usr/ports/Tools/scripts/mergebase.sh Congratulations, you are done! # exit HTH Regards, Mark
