Hello, I am familiar with the gentoo "portage" system but I am unfamiliar with the freebsd system. I prefer to compile ports. While I am familiar with "make install", I do not know how to upgrade all the ports I previously installed (equivalent to gentoo's "emerge -Dauv world"). Section 5.5.3.1 of the handbook says that I should use portmaster. When I install portmaster I get a friendly reminder: "If you want to switch to the new pkg(8) format, and have not already done so, there are some extra 1-time steps to take" Can you guys help me answer these questions: 1. Do I want to switch to the new pkg(8) format? 2. If yes, have I already done so? Thank you, Chris PS: I'm running 10.1-RELEASE-p3
