I am tentatively planning on rebuilding the installed ports on my laptop under stable/9 (vs. their current stable/8) on Sunday, to take advantage of several hours of travel time expected.
In preparation for this, I was reviewing the steps listed at the end of
portmaster(8) "Using portmaster to do a complete reinstallation of all
your ports" (which I have used to good effect in the past -- e.g., in
the migration from 7-STABLE to 8-STABLE).
As a reality check, I created the output of "portmaster --list-origins",
with the intent to re-order the entries (and remove several that were
brought in merely as dependencies -- and that I'd happily do without,
were it feasible).
I was thus surprised to fail to find "subversion" listed; a further
reality check showed that the output was (only) 181 lines long; compare:
d134(9.1-P)[8] portmaster --list-origins | wc -l
181
d134(9.1-P)[9] ls /var/db/pkg/ | wc -l
796
d134(9.1-P)[10] find /var/db/pkg -type f -name +CONTENTS -print0 | xargs -0
grep -hw ORIGIN | sed -e 's/^@comment ORIGIN://' | wc -l
796
d134(9.1-P)[11]
The machine in question was running:
FreeBSD g1-227.catwhisker.org 8.3-STABLE FreeBSD 8.3-STABLE #453 240462M: Thu

r...@g1-227.catwhisker.org:/common/S1/obj/usr/src/sys/CANARY i386
when the ports were last updated, and is presently running:
FreeBSD g1-227.catwhisker.org 9.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 9.1-PRERELEASE #245
240493M: Fri Sep 14 05:13:23 PDT 2012
r...@g1-227.catwhisker.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CANARY i386
My ports tree is at r304266; the installed ports are all up-to-date
with respect to that.
Aam I doing something obviously silly or stupid?
Thanks....
Peace,
david
