Hi,
I just csup my port tree this morning (01/12), and realized there is
a whole lot ports need my attention (49 of them). I checked out
UPDATES and found out that gnome and GTK+ have just been updated. But
i don't have gtkmm or gnome-session installed, I wonder if I should
still upgrade my
should still upgrade my ports just as described in
the UPDATES.
In short, yes. Many (but not all) of these a) are part of
GNOME or b) have a GNOME component in their dependencies. The
update procedure is there for a reason.
(Advice: make sure you have the latest vesion
Always read /usr/ports/UPDATING before any upgrade. After that you can
use portmaster (the one I use) or portupgrade to upgrade all those
outdated ports with a single command : portmaster -avd

Hi;
I have python 2.3.5 and I'd like to upgrade to 2.4.3. I've tried installing
from FreeBSD ports and the oldfashioned way from source code, with the

Right. I tried that before writing, but I forgot to specify as much. No, that

Not a major issue, but I've upgraded sendmail on a 4.11 box via the ports.
All appears to be working, but if I look at the SMTP greeting, the version
of sendmail or the config version is incorrect. The latter version (8.13.1)
would have been the version prior to the port upgrade.

That did it. Do you think the upgrade of my system

ports and src are different things, it depends on how you
had your cvs-src files set up.

I am relatively new to ports. When I type pkg_info, this is what I

py23-mx-base-2.0.5 The eGenix mx-Extension Series for Python

Please take a look at /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade, as it is the

Circumstantial evidence over the years has led me to believe that most

The biggest down-side is the requirement that I run portsdb -Uu to
update the databases after a cvsup of the ports tree. This is a pretty
CPU intensive operation and can take a while on an older system.
as i understand portsupgrade,
, portversion is a part of portupgrade. It should do almost
anything pkg_version does except -c. I use portversion -vL= to check
on what needs updating. But I then usually do portupgrade -Rra which
will upgrade all ports that are out of date and do so in the correct
bottom-up order.
