Good advice thanks. Here is my actual process of doing this for other people new to FreeBSD if they would like to do the same. #cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile . (added proper mirror in the ports-supfile) #cvsup -g -L 2 ports-supfile Must have the portupgrade package in to run the portsdb command. I could not run portsdb as it was not installed yet because the portupgrade port was not installed. #cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade #make install #portsdb -Uu read /usr/ports/UPDATING after you've updated your ports-tree It is over 1,000 lines, but you can skim and look for software that is on your system in case you upgrade that particular software. #portupgrade clamav Then you need to edit the new conf file as it's different. Went from clamav.conf to clamd.conf...noticed that when skimming /usr/ports/UPDATING. Note: #portversion -l "<" will provide you with a list of outdated installed ports/packages _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
