RE: correct routine of updating installed ports?

2004-09-23 Thread Philip Payne 
   # cvsup -g -L 2 supfile
   # portsdb -uU
   # pkgdb -F
   # port_version
   # portupgrade -a
 
   And what does make index actually do? Do I need it?

You missed a step between cvsup and portupgrade.

less /usr/ports/UPGRADING 

... and read, to check out what will happen when certain ports are updated.

Looks much the same as I how I do it. I dont do a portversion. You might
want to create a portupgrade log with the -l switch on portupgrade. Then,
after its complete check for failed entries i.e. those marked with ! or
* so you can manually check out the problem

Also, you may want to add a portsclean at the end to remove old distfiles
etc. man portsclean will give all the relevant options.

correct routine of updating installed ports?

2004-09-22 Thread Choy Kho Yee 
Just want to confirm if this is the correct routine to update the 
installed ports.

 # cvsup -g -L 2 supfile
 # portsdb -uU
 # pkgdb -F
 # port_version
 # portupgrade -a
 And what does make index actually do? Do I need it?
 Thanks for any input.
