Updating 1 single port.
Hi all, I suspect I have an issue with Proftpd and need to update it quickly. At Christmas break we will be apdating all ports and src, but for now, I would like to get the latest version of Proftpd up. What is the best / quickest method of getting 1 single port updated?

(Proftpd 1.3.3c) Since this is in the ports, refresh your ports tree. Then just cd to /usr/ports/ftp/proftpd and do make make deinstall make reinstall. Most ports will not munge your config files by this process. Just in case, I always set aside a copy of the relevant .conf file as insurance. This is the manual do it yourself way. Portupgrade and others can accomplish the same. But this is quick and simple for just doing one port. Also don't forget to restart the daemon afterward. :-) -Mike ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

But the problem that many people run into is that they haven't updated other installed ports, including infrastructure like the autotools ports that were updated today. So when they try to update a single port, things it depends on are missing or outdated. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

While you may be able to get away with a simple update some of the time, that is certainly not true all of the time. -Mike ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

And I would suggest running pkg_create -b, package-name in advance, just in case the install fail and you are left with a deinstalled port. Portupgrade does that automatically. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
