I think you do, as I understand the situation, portmanager lacks two significant features. 1. All ports have an implicit dependence on FreeBSD itself which isn't recorded in the package database, so AFAIK portmanager doesn't automatically rebuild all ports after an upgrade of the basic system, and doesn't provide the means to force an upgrade. Portupgrade can force the rebuilding of all ports with -fa; better still it can force the upgrade of ports built before a specified date, which gives a restartable rebuild. I've been trying portmanager recently, but I found this feature of portupgrade very useful when I upgraded my hardware and needed to alter my optimizations from P3 down to 686, and then up to althlon-xp. 2 it lacks the ability to force a rebuild of dependent ports after a port has been rebuilt with new build options. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
