There is no such thing as /usr/ports/<port>, unless you meant /usr/ports/<category>/<port> which i assume for this reply. > What's the difference between these? One is "make deinstall" will remove the port w/o care to any dependencies. Pkg_delete will remove a dependency-port only if you specify via the -f (force) flag. Both will notify you about any dependencies in any case. Personally, i use "make deinstall" only when the installed port version is same as in /usr/ports/<category>/<port> AND happened to be in that directory. Otherwise, i just use pkg_de(install|delete). - Parv -- _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
