Dear folks,
I have a question regarding portshaker. I have successfully used
Warren Block's script to make updates.

Dear folks,
I updated ports and one failed, gimp-app. I checked /usr/src/UPDATING
and I followed advice there to run
# portmaster -w devel/pcre
and I did this, and now machine won't get X. How can I bypass this
mistake? I am now hesitant to update the other machines :(, I will
get into problem

Dear kind folks,
I am getting more and more as to what is needed to keeping a system
running in optimum conditions(updating ports & userland too). I was

Dear folks,
On my system that I have updated to 8.2-RELEASE-amd64 I get mistake if I try to
# pkg_add -r firefox
pkg_add: package 'perl-5.10.1_3.tbz... Done.
pkg_add: package 'perl-5.10.1_3.tbz conflicts with perl-5.12.3
pkg_add: please use pkg_delete first to remove conflicting package(s)
