portupgrading only certain ports
I am trying to avoid upgrading two ports: kde and X. What are the command line options to portupgrade to accomplish this? For instance, I tried this and it failed: #portupgrade -a -x 'kde*' -x 'x*' Where am I going wrong? I've read the pertinent handbook ports section, and did man portupgrade, but still I can not get it to work. Maybe it has something to do with pkg_glob, I don't know. Any help appreciated.

I never tried this feature but from the man page it seems you do not need the single quotes. You probably can also just type the package names (with no glob characters) with or without version numbers. __ Find your next car at http://autos.yahoo.ca ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Peter, Apparently it was the quotes! Upgrade appears to be working right. Thanks. - Original Message - From: Peter [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Steve P.

Try portupgrade -rR -x 'kde*' -x 'x*' * Maybe use the -n option with the above to see what would happen without doing anything. With a regex maybe this would work portupgrade -rRx :[kde|x] or something along these lines. -n is a good safety valve I think hth, --Duane ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
