Hi Dwayne The easiest way is to setup poudriere to build a local repo -- poudriere is smart enough to figure out what needs to be upgraded after you update your portstree. -- It may seem daunting at first, but I guarantee makes your life easier. [Maybe you also have success with synth, instead of poudriere, but last time it failed, because it also seemed to rely on the category Makefiles]. Make index fails, as the merge script 'kdemerge' does add new ports to the category Makefiles.
I use the poudriere method here, and I haven't had any issues, which weren't my own fault :P Basically: 1) create a portstree for poudriere containing the ports+merged plasma5-ports 2) create a poudriere jail corresponding to your system 3) poudriere -j<your jail from 2)> -p<your portstree from 1)> x11/kde5 poudriere will then go on, and build x11/kde5 upgrading/rebuilding/creating packages for all that is required in the process. 4) setup a local pkg-repo configuration for said packages 5) use pkg 6) profit. Afterwards, just updating the portstree, redoing step 3) and 5) will keep your system up to date. mfg Tobias On 8 March 2017 at 20:33, Dwayne MacKinnon <d...@ncf.ca> wrote: > Hi folks, > > So when I built my latest FreeBSD box I decided to go with > plasma-desktop and kf5.
