I am snagged in graphics/opencv in my massive upgrade of ports, and see error
messages in the log file indicating errors in the C code. I also see there is
a newer version of openCV out. But I was able to pigeonhole graphics/opencv
and four other ports that depend on opencv and complete the rest
*update:*
In pkgtools.conf, the IGNORE_CATEGORIES works and prevents unwanted ports
from being installed, while HOLD_PKGS does not work when using portupgrade
and I get my nemesis net/avahi-app installed anyway (whether I want it or
not).

Hi,
Selecting RUBY_MODULE option for databases/rrdtool, and if you use
'clang' as the default compiler
by setting CC=clang at /etc/make.conf, this port would stop with the
following error message,
and any environmental setting like as USE_GCC=any could not affect.
gmake[4]: Leaving directory
I'm trying to update one of my ports (security/afterglow). When I run make
depends `make -V PORTNAME`, the build fails on cairo because librsvg
doesn't exist.
So I go into the librsvg2 port and build it. But it fails because it needs
cairo.
Sweet. A genuine catch-22 situation.
Anyone
I'm working on a new port (snorby), and it requires ruby. I've never built
a ruby-based port before and confess total ignorance of how ruby works and
how freebsd ports can use ruby to install software.

1. This should not happen if you have the latest portmaster port and use
the PKGNGPATCH option.
2. It is not required that you use binary packages with pkgng. You can
continue using ports with portmaster/portupgrade just fine.
