Those are very handy ....

I guess, tho ... since make deinstall will "force remove" a package even if another package uses it, what I really want to do is something like:

pkgdb -F

... see the first "failed" dependency ...

.... go find the package and install it ...

repeat.

Seems like the kind of thing that could be scripted ....


If you created a /usr/ports/packages directory, portupgrade and such will leave the precompiled binary packages you've created on your system there.


Ah!


Otherwise, consult your backups.


well, this isn't a production machine by any stretch .... so I didn't do backups :c)
