freebsd-update for patches, make world for upgrades?
Does freebsd-update take care of all things mergemaster does? Or can I use freebsd-update to apply security patches and still use csup, make world and mergemaster to upgrade to a new release? -- Andreas ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Will all dependencies work? No, it will remain py24 unless you want otherwise. As for real moving to python25 and/or keeping py24 versions around, you should read /usr/ports/UPDATING (entry 20070730) and set PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION. Can I safely deinstall python24 or will it automatically get installed again when I decide to upgrade zope for example? Yes, you can: the same as above. Ok. I removed python25 and portupgraded -o python24 to 25 and then made upgrade-site-packages. Worked perfectly.

How frequently do you interact with the ports systems and what is the most common interaction you have with it? Portupgrade a few times a month 3. What is the single best aspect of the current system? Installed ports are configurally very similar to the source distribution (no renamed config files etc), so it's easy to get support from the community. 4. What is the single worst aspect of the current system? I find it difficult to downgrade installed ports. 5. If you where a new FreeBSD user how would your answers above change? If you where brand new to UNIX how whould they change? Not sure. 6. Assuming that there was no additional work on your behalf would you use a new system if it corrected your answer to number 4? I think so. 7. Same as question 6 but for your answer on question 3? I think not. 8. How long have you used FreeBSD and/or UNIX in general? FreeBSD since 2003. 9. That is your primary use(s) for your FreeBSD machine(s) (name upto 3)? Firewall, development, misc 10. Assuming there is no functional difference what is your preferred installation method for 3rd party software? Ports 11. On a scale from 1 to 10 (10 being the best) please rate the importance of the following aspects of the ports system? a. User Interface *5* b. Consistency of behaviors and interactions*7* c.
