Re: reinstall all installed ports
Hi, And how would u deal with new versions of the already installed ports in order to maintain good binary compatibility backwards and forwards? Thank you.

Re: reinstall all installed ports
Hi, I mean that I have just finished reinstalling all ports hoping it would solve some broken port/library dependencies I was suspecting using porsupgrade -afp. Actually, it did a good job and solved all port dependencies problems I had except 1. Some mozilla libaries remain broken. I am using 4.7-STABLE #0: Sun Nov 3 and here is some of the output using libchk: Unresolvable link(s) found in: /usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla/plugins/libnullplugin.so libxpcom.so Unresolvable link(s) found in: /usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla/components/libmsgsmime.so libmsgbaseutil.so libmozjs.so libxpcom.so Unresolvable link(s) found in: /usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla/components/libmsgmdn.so libmsgbaseutil.so libmozjs.so libxpcom.so Unresolvable link(s) found in: /usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla/components/libabsyncsvc.so libmsgbaseutil.so libmozjs.so libxpcom.so ...

Re: reinstall all installed ports
I am not using X very often so I wouldn't really now. However, I will give it an extensive try the next few days and see what happens. It will probably be for me hard to tell why is failing anyway. I always had problems with it.

I tried this and learned something in the process. I actually used -afp so that I had packages that I could use to upgrade my slow machines using -afP. There are some ports that you probably need to -x such as cvsup-mirror. You could probably just glob 'cvsup*'. Upgrading cvsup-mirror required manual intervention and the process of checking ownership on my ncvs directory seemed like it added an hour to the upgrade :). I also had to redo texmf.cnf on all of my machines.

reinstall all installed ports
I just need to reinstall all my ports.. only 67 so I'll survive. However I'm just wondering what the best command would be. Given I'm doing all of them, I'm just curious if I need to worry about dependencies and reinstall in order type thing..or if I can just reinstall each package in any order.. Is portupgrade -af my best bet? I'm assuming I don't want to use any -r or -R options in this procedure.. cheers, ajt.

Re: reinstall all installed ports
My portupgrade just finished fine.. however the hole point of this excerise was to try and fix this problem. [ root @ redback :/root# ] ncftp3 /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: ncftp3: Undefined symbol InitWinsock I just upgraded the system yesterday and that didn't fix it either... FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE-p1 #9: Tue Oct 29 19:46:34 EST 2002 I admit to screwing around ages ago when I was trying to get gphoto2 working before it arrived in ports.. This is the only abnormality I'm seeing on this box.. Any thoughts? cheers, ajt.
