Using portupgrade etc.
No. DO NOT EXTRACT OVER EXISTING /usr/ports as this will cause patch problems. Instead, set the PORTSDIR environment variable to the fully-qualified path to this new location. For example: # cd /space/xorg/ports # tar -xjf ports-xorg-7.2.tbz # setenv PORTSDIR `realpath .` The realpath is important so as to resolve symlinks. Joe -- PGP Key : http://www.marcuscom.com/pgp.asc
