I haven't used portupgrade yet. I have no doubt that it's a very good tool, but I think that systems like "ports system" must have build-in support for features like that, instead to depends on extra programs. Once again, don't get me wrong, I haven't anything against portupgrade, but I'm feeling very well with "make deinstall" or "make install", so why don't we have "make upgrade" for instance ? I'm working on something similar and I just wonder why nobody was done this before, it's not a big challenge, just a couple of lines. > ># Adam > > >-- >Adam Weinberger >adamw@magnesium.net || adamw@FreeBSD.org >adamw@vectors.cx || adamw@gnome.org >http://www.vectors.cx > --=20 Dancho Penev GnuGP public key: http://www.mnet.bg/~dpenev/gnupg.asc Key fingerprint: E88D 8B7B 3EF6 E9C8 C5D2 7554 2AA8 C347 71A1 4277 --SUOF0GtieIMvvwua Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFBFL9HKqjDR3GhQncRAqDHAKCEvtXm089Z/cJtVaUsg91itxR3gwCeOydp JjM2FjmR060NHZz2arDIQII= =peZD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --SUOF0GtieIMvvwua--
