do you use cvsup to update your ports? if so, just rm -R /usr/ports and then cvsup it again. if you're talking about rebuilding all the ports themselves, it's portupgrade -fa. however, if there are errors in your ports tree, a simple cvsup will take care of it. you really should cvsup the latest source tree and build and install that. -Adam >> (09.10.2002 @ 1135 PST): Stacey Roberts said, in 2.0K: << > Hello Jack, > Believe me, if I knew how to do this, I would - hence my second > post today.., So far,. no takers though :-( > > Stacey > > On Tue, 2002-09-10 at 19:32, Jack L.
