Exactly. Or unpack the compat8x package by hand. Or don’t delete the old libraries upon upgrading… >> > > There is pkg-lock(8) but dont do it.

I follow the quarterly cuts of the ports-tree and build my own repo. If I need to downgrade from Q3 to Q2, I usually lock pkg only and do a pkg upgrade -f The lock „survives“ even the -f. The previous pkg may have problems reading the new pkg database created by the new pkg…. Locking anything else besides pkg is just a way to get unhappy. If you have more than a handful machines or are not content with the packages provided by FreeBSD, running your own repo is a must IMO. For our Ubuntu and CentOS-servers at work, we don’t do the builds ourselves - but we still run our own mirror that is updated at our own schedule (so that servers are on a defined patch-level). _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
