Dear all,
I was running FreeBSD 8.1 and am in the process of updating it
following advice in handbook:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/updating-upgrading-freebsdupdate.html
ran
# freebsd-update fetch
# freebsd-update install
# portupgrade -af
# freebsd-update -r 8.2-RELEASE upgrade
then
# freebsd-update install
Tried to do this:
# portupgrade -f ruby
# rm /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db
# portupgrade -f ruby18-bdb
# rm /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db /usr/ports/INDEX-*.db
# portupgrade -af
Did not work correctly[too many customizations] and Tried again
portupgrade is written in Ruby and uses ruby-bdb, so this may not work.
-f is of questionable value. Why not just cd to the port directories,
and 'make clean build deinstall install'?
# freebsd-update install
and had nothing more to do :(
I had many packages that need to be updated so I am running :
# portupgrade -arRp
-a is equivalent to -arR. And that's building packages, which is not
necessary unless you want to copy them to another machine.
will this prompt me for customizations?
Options menus? Yes, the ports will ask on their own. If you use the -c
or -C options, portupgrade will do all of them at the start of the
process.
