Quoting Umar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


Dear Stefan!

Thanks for your reply!

touch /var/db/pkg/squid-<version>/+IGNOREME.

I already done that. But its not working, here is the error message.

===>>> The www/squid25 port has been deleted: Has expired: This version is
no longer supported by the developers
===>>> Aborting update
===>>> Child process 36682:
===>>> Child process 31343:
===>>> Child process 37217:
===>>> Child process 37718:
===>>> Child process 38414:

so what should i do?

I didn't realize that 2.5 had been deleted so then I would have to suggest that you try the -o option of portmaster maybe something like

portmaster -o www/squid30 [current installed version from /var/db/pkg]

of course you  will then be upgraded to 3.0 that works fine here.

Have a great Christmas,

ed

Regards,

Hi All,

I am using portmaster for updating my existing ports. How I can bypass a
specific package e.g (squid) I don't want to upgrade this package during
ports upgrading through portmaster.

So please help me what should i do?

The first thing you should do is read the man page, it says:

     /var/db/pkg/*/+IGNOREME
                          If this file exists, portmaster will ignore this
                          port for the purpose of dependency updates.

So you want to do something like:

 touch /var/db/pkg/squid-<version>/+IGNOREME.

It will still ask whether it should update that port anyway,
which is a bit annoying, but maybe there is a flag to turn
that question off, I haven't looked yet.
