Hi All,
Having run "portmanager -u" several times now, I
am
very pleased to say that my times have decreased
from
an initial 38 hours to about 2 hours, per run.
Along the way, I have cleaned up "conflicts" and
did
"pkg_delete" on several applications that were
"included in base" or that really were not needed.
Now I'm faced with situations where I don't have a
clue. Below is partial output from "portmanager
-s".
I have manipulated each line to avoid line
wrapping
problems, I hope.

In the case of cdrtools or libcdio or
sound-juicer,
I think this is telling me that I have an older
version installed and a newer version is
available.
What should I do in this situation?
In the case of dvd+rw-tools or nautilus-cd-burner
or
gnome2, apparently I have a solid-gold chance to
mess
up dependencies.
What should I do here?
Please note that I am new to FreeBSD and have a
very
limited exposure to using "make" to build
packages.
Any links to dealing with portmanager output
would be appreciated.

Is it absolutely necessary for you to update these
dependencies?
If it is, you can try portupgrade <port> but that my
very well break
everything :p
So far, the few apps that I have used appear to work
as expected, but I have not tested many that I hope to
use.
I was under the impression that it is desirable and
reasonable to resolve portmanager output. Is this a
mistaken idea?
Thanks,
Jim

I guess it would depend on who you ask. I, personally tend to live by
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it" at least if it's a production box.
I don't use any sort of GUI of my FreeBSD systems, so I will leave this
to someone else to answer. sorry.
Aaron
