See man portsnap, section TIPS - it shows example of correct way:

0 3 * * * root /usr/sbin/portsnap cron

The TIPS section contains more details.

Re: problems with port upgrade consistency using portsnap

2013-05-19 Thread fddi

hello, here is from portsnap.conf

# PORTSDIR=/usr/ports


so it is /usr/ports

instead in my environment $PORTSDIR is undefined.

Here is

/usr/ports/lang/python27/Makefile


PORTNAME=   python27
PORTVERSION=2.7.3
PORTREVISION=   6



after I did

portsnap fetch update

everythign looks up to date

so ther is something wrong in my crontab

0 3 * * * /usr/sbin/portsnap -I cron update && pkg_version -vIL=

the problem was in portsnap -I which updates only thr index files...

thanks for helping me to identify the issue
cheers

Rick

That is correct. You are confusing two different things. portsnap 
updates the ports tree, which contains the files needed to compile the 
programs you install. It is only information about the programs and 
version with instructions to compile. portsnap does not install the 
programs for you.


pkg_version is telling you that the ports tree has information on new 
versions available of programs you have installed.



if I use  portmaster to upgrade my ports collection it is telling me all
packages are up to date...
so there is something not working


portmaster installs the binary programs for you. Look into this later 
if the later info doesn't fix it.



for example

py27-sqlite3-2.7.3_3<   needs updating (index has 
2.7.5_3)


This is a python library to add access to sqlite db files. Don't 
confuse it with python itself. The Makefile for this will be in 
databases/py-sqlite3



but if I go into

/usr/ports/lang/python27

and I look in Makefile, it reports

PORTNAME=   python27
PORTVERSION=2.7.3
PORTREVISION=   6


While this isn't the Makefile for py-sqlite3, pkg_version is telling 
you it knows about python 2.7.5 so this is not the Makefile that 
pkg_version is looking at, but it would appear to be the file that 
portmaster is looking at. It looks like you have two copies of the 
ports tree.


Check /etc/portsnap.conf you may have an odd setting for PORTSDIR. 
Another possibility is you have an odd PORTSDIR defined in your 
environment, what does echo $PORTSDIR show? You may also have bad 
settings in cron - run portsnap fetch update manually and see if 
python27/Makefile changes


Start by sorting out why pkg_version and portmaster are using 
different files before you progress further.
