Regarding the recent python changes... UPDATING states:
After upgrading of lang/python, you must rebuild all its consumer
ports to make them get ready to Python 2.5.
To do this, you will need to:
pkgdb -uf && cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but don't these instructions rely on
pkgdb which is a component of portupgrade which I do not use.
You are not wrong. :) However, given that there are now several ports
management packages out there, and given that portupgrade is the most
commonly used, you may consider it reasonable that most sets of
instructions are written for that tool. What should probably also be
done is to give instructions that do not depend on a particular
package that any user could follow.
So must I install portupgrade?
Or should I just ignore the error run make upgrade-site-packages ?
[doug@ /usr/ports/lang/python]
4$ make upgrade-site-packages
Please install sysutils/portupgrade.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/space/ports/lang/python.
So, yes and no. :)
Seriously though, you could probably use portmaster (which has no
overhead of extra scripting languages or databases) to do the same
thing, but since I am not familiar with the python changes I wouldn't
want to tell you for sure what options to use. Your safest bet is
probably to pkg_delete everything python, and everything that depends
on it, and reinstall everything. but of course, that's a big pita ...
