That's not true. Packages are just precompiled ports, and you can mix
and match if you know what you're doing. I

The thing you should be doing first is checking /usr/ports/UPDATING. Major
things can change, and portupgrade may not be able to handle them without
help.
Ah, i c. I am starting to make sense out of some of this from my fighting
around on this.

Hi Gang,
A total noob here with FreeBSD, but am liking it so far. I went to run
portupgrade for the first time and encountered quite a few problems. I have
googled around and found some of my answers, but it's been slow going. For
example:
cairo# portupgrade -aF
cd: can't cd to /usr/ports/de
Thanks all for the help, it is working perfectly now!

Hi all,
I have a mixture of ports and packages on my system. Mostly ports, but
since my machine is not all that fast I decided not to compile things
like OpenOffice.org for obvious reasons.
I have two questions about portupgrade:
1. If I do "portupgrade -rR port" it will recompile the new versio

Hi,
Now that I am ready to start installing applications, I have read *some*
of the documentation in man portupgrade and some articles on the web.
First, I did:
# tar -czvf dbpkg.tgz /var/db/pkg
Then:
#pkgdb -F
It found cvsupit was broken with no fix for 3 months, I deleted it and

When running "portsdb -uU" as recommended in the Portupgrade
documentation I'm currently getting some errors, and not sure if I
have to do something about them or what I should do. Couldn't find
any suggestions in the Portsdb manpage.
I recently removed all the Ruby stuff and portupgrade and
