Neither -x nor HOLD_PKGS is what I want.
I *want* to upgrade the software, I just do not want to FETCH prebuilt
packages for any package that has a Makefile.local file in the tree, as
a Makefile.local file means I want to build that package with local changes.
That's a very specific requirement, then, and I don't think portupgrade can do it. Kris
A snippet from the portupgrade manpage. Note the execution model... Pay close attention to item 1 (-P).
I dunno - it's seems fairly clear to me that the manpage does a fine job detailing just what parm does when. Again, to me at least - this thread should have halted by telling the user to view the manpage.
Er..the thread started with a question from a user who *knows about -P and uses it*, but doesn't want portupgrade to fetch packages in a specific situation.
Kris
Again, from the manpage ...
" -x GLOB
--exclude GLOB Exclude packages matching the specified glob
pattern. Exclusion is performed after recursing dependency in response to -r
and/or -R, which means, for example, the
following command will upgrade all the
packages depending on XFree86 but leave
XFree86 as it is:
portupgrade -rx XFree86 XFree86"
Well now - that didn't format like I expected. Sorry about that. Nonetheless, I think the manpage reflects the point.
