First, don;t delete anything you want to keep. It.s not relevant. # make -C /usr/ports fetchindex (or get it in any ot the several other ways including building from scratch (slow).) # pkg version -vL= I do these steps in periodic every night. I also do 'svn up /usr/ports' in the periodic script, but you can also just update the out-of-date ports with 'svn up /usr/ports/class/port' for the ports listed as needing updating, Then run portmaster with the list of ports from the pkg above marked with '<' as needing update. Also note any marked '?' and take appropriate action. I quit doing 'portmaster -a' because it took so long to scan through all ports, but it also solves you problem. (portmaster may now be using the index and -a may not take so long.) -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkober...@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683 _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
