Updating the OS after an install
I'm running a freshly installed FreeBSD 4.9 system, and have most of the kinks worked out. In going through the manual, I've reached the point where it tells you how to install software. I've updated the ports tree, and decided to try my hand at installing a package. I chose xine to work with. So I cd'd to the approperiate directory, and did make make install. The system errored out, saying that some of my other packages weren't the latest versions. (This happened twice. libogg and libvorbis, IIRC. But that detail isn't important.) I was able to go to the directory of the packages that needed to be updated, do a make deinstall, and then reinstalled those packages. Which allowed xine to be installed without a hitch. (I haven't actually tested it, as I'm working remotely, but from all indications from looking at the output there wasn't a problem. In retrospect, perhaps I should have chosen a different package to test things out. Ahh well.) At this point, I'm willing to bet that it's a fairly safe bet to say that there are other packages on my system that are in need of updating. Is there a way to universally update what's on my system to whatever's in the ports tree?

However, this is not necessarily a good idea.
