SOOOOOO, last night I tried pkg_rolling-replace -rsuv
It took a long time, but worked great. Thanks , everyone. pkgsrc has changed sooo much. Back 2005, I only used pkgsrc to make huge things like www-front. Thanks, whoever made 'pkg_rolling-replace'. This is SOOOOO nice, and useful. On Thu, Sep 29, 2022 at 7:13 PM Greg Troxel <g...@lexort.com> wrote: > > > Todd Gruhn <tgru...@gmail.com> writes: > > > I have just downloaded pkgsrc-2022Q3.
