I am trying to avoid upgrading two ports: kde and X.
What are the command line options to portupgrade to accomplish this?
For instance, I tried this and it failed:
#portupgrade -a -x 'kde*' -x 'x*'
Where am I going wrong?
I've read the pertinent handbook ports section, and did man portupgrade,
but still I can not get it to work. Maybe it has something to do with
pkg_glob, I don't know.
I never tried this feature but from the man page it seems you do not need
the single quotes. You probably can also just type the package names
(with no glob characters) with or without version numbers.
Hi,
portupgrade -a upgrades all installed ports. Try
portupgrade -rR -x 'kde*' -x 'x*' *
Maybe use the -n option with the above to see what
would happen without doing anything.
With a regex maybe this would work
portupgrade -rRx :[kde|x] or something along
these lines. -n is a good safety valve I think
