You could use packages provided by the FreeBSD package repositories... portupgrade -aP Although those packages will contain the standard port options, which may differ from your installed ports if you compiled them originally and changed any of the options screens. If you're looking to upgrade ports with custom options applied, then rebuilding your ports from source is your only real option. -Proto _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
