I'd like to upgrade the versions of some of my installed programs from ports. I can cvsup new ports, but before I do, I have a few questions. Are there several ports trees I can cvsup (ports-stable, ports-current, ports-really-really-buggy)? Do I need to 'make deinstall' all of the programs i've previeously installed from the ports collection before I cvsup the new ports? After I cvsup the new ports? at all? when? Do I need to worry about a new version of a port not working on my 3.1-stable system? Will cron-ing a ports cvsup cause any problems for installed programs? upgrading or removing them? basically, how the heck do I do this without messing up my system? Thank you. -Stephen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
