Re: Problem using Portmaster to upgrade installed ports via packages only
First, Thanks Doug for responding to my mails. I don't know (or understand) if I have to set a value to PM_SU_VERBOSE That depends on your goal. Why are you setting this? I thought that PM_SU_VERBOSE will explain the errors about my sudo problem. I can use portmaster with sudo only with the command : #sudo portmaster -options but not with .portmasterrc, or /etc/portmaster.rc I have tried to set PM_SU_VERBOSE=/usr/local/bin/sudo without success If you can help me here, I have read the manpage hundred times, but haven't found where I am wrong. Please copy and paste the parts of the man page that are confusing. That will help me improve it. I think I have misunderstood the using of PM_SU_VERBOSE. I thought that PM_SU_VERBOSE was the verbose mode of PM_SU_CMD. As you describe in your mail, the using of this option is not applied for my case. Meanwhile, you might also consider simply running portmaster as root. There is nothing preferable about running it with sudo, it is a feature that I added because users so often requested it. I have apply your advice, and I haven't got problem. Now I can install ports from packages (if available) or from sources. Really, thanks again Doug for your help, and advices.

Hello,
Here is a perl hack I use to automatically read and parse UPDATING as part
of my daily upgrade routine. It is part of a larger set of five scripts
which use:
1. csup to update ports
2. make index to update the /usr/ports/INDEX
3. pkg_version to identify the ports that need upgrading
4. portfetch to download the tarballs
5. a script to display the relevant contents, if any, of UPDATING using
the hack shown below and the contents identified in step 3 above.
These five scripts are combined in a master script (csup-all) which I
invoke the first thing in the morning. After doing some other morning
chores I then run portconfig -a -v to set up any configuration settings
prior to running portmaster -a -u. Everything is automatic except for
the configuration.
Here is the perl hack. It can be improved by comparing the ports that need
to be updated (step 3) with the ports specified within UPDATING (step 5).
The embedded ansi codes will work with the default FreeBSD console
settings, otherwise they can be removed.

And how does portmaster fit in? Does it use the same 'leaf-nodes first' algorithm as portmanager? It's leaf-last, the leaves are on the top of the tree. All the upgrade tools build in dependency order, but portmanager also rebuilds ports that directly depend on the ports it's upgraded (originally it included indirect dependencies, but that's now only done in pristine mode). In other words it, more or less, does the equivalent of portupgrade -fr as a matter of course. As regards portupgrade -o, it depends on the circumstances. In the case of perl5.8 to perl5.10, I would expect that it would continue with perl5.8 until something actually needs perl5.10. It would then detect a conflict, remove perl5.8, install perl5.10 and then rebuild everything that depended on perl5.8. Essentially it would do the right thing. I'm not sure about python, it's bit more complicated, but I would guess it would be similar to perl. ___ 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

Thanks [upgrading installed ports: time to do it ?]
Hello ! Thanks alll of you for taking time to answer my mail. I really appreciate it. I have (well...the system has) succesfully done the upgrade. I used both pkg_updating and portupdate-scan to scan UPDATING [pkg_updating did not show an entry suggesting to update python to version 2.6 (which Portupdate-scan did)]. AS UPDATING suggests, I made the switch from python 2.5 to python 2.6 (using portupgrade). Then I did a mass upgrade... portupgrade -ab --batch ... It took 6h30 upgrading 40 ports (not many ports because I installed this system only few months ago). [Now I should find where the backup packages have been sent] Thanks again and see you here ! d p.s. Robert I meant to say if you prefer to upgrade just a selection of the ports or all of the ports together ;-) On Tuesday 23 June 2009 00:34:59 Charlie Kester wrote: On Mon 22 Jun 2009 at 13:48:02 PDT RW wrote: On Mon, 22 Jun 2009 20:58:41 +0100 Chris Whitehouse cwhi...@onetel.com wrote: I'll probably get flamed for this but since I've been using ports-mgmt/portmanager I've almost forgotten about /usr/ports/UPDATING and all that pkgdb -Fu stuff or whatever it was.

It does indeed just works which is down to the way it works out to do leaf ports first and work backwards. portmaster looks like it has some nice features, including doing all the configs first, but I don't know if it does as good a job as portmanager in deciding what order to do things.

Many of of the entries aren't solely to do with guiding portmaster/portupgrade through the upgrade, they may also involve migrating configuration or user data, or performing other administrative tasks.

Of those in the 200 that involve code, maybe 50 get upgraded more than once every three months. And those tend to be either trivial, or huge (gnome, wine, openoffice, etc.).

I did a portupgrade -arR recently and want to know which ports have been upgraded in that process (and no I didn't run that portupgrade under script...) Couldn't find an option to pkg_info, pkgdb etc...

Search for files in not installed ports
Hi,
is there an easy way to find the port that will install me a specific

Is there a make target that lists all files installed by a port?

That's the right way to do it, but have a look at portsearch from
ports.

Build Binary Packages from Installed Ports
The new (to me) ports tools are pretty slick. Is there a way to build a binary package for each installed port without upgrading or rebuilding each installed port? As I read the man pages the only thing close to this is 'portupgrade -afp' which will give me the full set of packages, but insists on rebuilding everything first.

What would be a good way to create binary packages of all/most of my currently installed ports (without rebuilding as make package does)? I want to move my entire setup to another disk (array) and like to get rid of any acumulated junk in the process so best would be to get packages from my current system, make world and kernel on the new disk (array) and then install the packages or vice versa.

Hello,
The command to create packages of the ports installed in the system is
pkg_create(1), it is used with the -b option (in this case), like this:
pkg_create -b installed-port-name
The name of the installed port is as outputed by pkg_info(1).
The default format is .tar.gz (.tgz), but the -j option allows to use bzip2.
I made a (simple) shell script to create packages of all the ports installed in
the system.
--BEGIN--
#!/bin/sh
# Shell script to create packages of all the ports installed in the system.
# Usage: 'sh package-ports.sh'
# Will create the packages in the current directory.
PORTS=`pkg_info | awk '{print $1}'` # Filter the description.
NUM_PORTS=`echo $PORTS | awk 'END {print NR}'`
BZIP=-j # Use bzip2 instead of gzip.
PKGCMD=pkg_create $BZIP -b# Command to create package.
echo Packaging $NUM_PORTS ports
# Process one port at time.
for PORT in $PORTS
do
echo Packaging port \$PORT\
$PKGCMD $PORT
done
echo Done
exit 0
--END
To use it create a directory to store the packages (like 'mkdir packages'),
save the script there and run it with 'sh script', or './script' (in the last
case the file must be executable).
Best Regards,
Ale

You missed a step between cvsup and portupgrade. less /usr/ports/UPGRADING ... and read, to check out what will happen when certain ports are updated. Looks much the same as I how I do it.

Pkgdb corrupted : doesn't recognized installed ports
Hi As I was upgrading my ports, my system crashed (have to find out why, but this is another problem) and rebooted. I was using portupgrade and it seems to have messed up the port/pkg db because now, when I run pkgdb -F, it tells me about stale depencies like 'x11-toolkits/vte', 'mozilla-gtk2', 'yelp' and so on, though these are already installed. Of course, as it considers them not installed, it doesn't show them as a possibility, I can't deinstall them using pkg_deinstall... Any way to fix this other than reinstalling the missing ports by hand (cd /usr/ports/[missing port] make install clean) ? And because some of these ports have been updated in the port tree (e.g. vte), I'm afraid to mess up the db even more (not sure reinstalling the new version of vte over the old one would do any good).

Viny Hello, I had a similar problem (crash, unexpected softupdate errors in /var, and a bombed /var/db/pkg). For me it was possible to extract the missing files from /var/lost+found, because although the directory names in the first level have been trashed, the contents were still there. Depending on the amount of missing ports, and the contents of lost+found, you might be able to move the missing files to their correct position.

Well... The only lost+found that I have is in /home... So it seems I
have to find another way =) I've just checked : only three of the busted ports
have been updated. So, using cvsweb, retrieving {Makefile,distinfo,pkg-plist}
for these three ports and rebuilding all the busted ports (8 altogether), I
will slowly but surely reach my goal... Well... I hope so ;)

Listing installed ports without any ports dependent on it
What I need to do is this: For each installed port that has NO other installed ports dependent on it, output the full name of the port In other words, I want a script to generate the list of ports that can be deinstalled without forcing (-f). A few months ago a guy posted a python script to this mailing list that did this, but I've since lost the script and it's too long ago for any of the online archives. If you're the nice guy that shared this script before, would you mind sharing it again? Or, does someone else have a script to do this?

This almost works, but not quite as elegant as the method I used before.
I wish like hell I still had a copy of that python script someone on

Excellent! This does exactly what I was after!
Here's how I run it:
echo Installed before:
pkg_info |wc -l
sleep 3
/home/eskimo/bin/pkg_nodeps.sh |less
echo Installed after:
pkg_info |wc -l
The basic idea is to thumb through the list and spot the ports that are
no longer needed, then copy paste the port name to a seperate terminal
and pkg_delete it. This is a great way to efficiently remove unneeded
ports.
Thanks Marcus!

Portupgrade can't find installed ports.
Hi all, I am having problems with portupgrade and related tools on 5.0-RELEASE on Sparc64. I can't find anything relevant in the archives, nor on Google, so I turn to you ;-) When invoked in the usual manner, portinstall cannot search the ports directory structure (or so it seems to me): [osiris: root: /usr/ports]# portinstall -R exim ** No such installed package nor such port called 'exim' is found. But, if I supply the subdir name, portinstall finds the port: [osiris: root: /usr/ports]# portinstall -R mail/exim --- Installing 'exim-4.12_1' from a port (mail/exim) --- Building '/usr/ports/mail/exim' === Cleaning for perl-5.6.1_11 === Cleaning for exim-4.12_1 ... portupgrade has problems, too, apparently reading /var/db/pkg: [osiris: root: ~]# portupgrade -a ** No such package '*' is installed. I have the latest versions of Ruby and Portupgrade, and the pkgtools.conf is unaltered. I don't have any problems with the same versions of Ruby and Portupgrade on any of my i386 boxes. I seem to recall similar behaviour on 4.X/i386 a while ago, but didn't pursue it. Anyone else see anything similar on either i386 or Sparc64? Any ideas how to correct it? I have had a quick look through the script files, but it's all Greek to me... As always, any insights, thoughts or pointers very gratefully accepted. Flames too, if this has been answered recently and I just missed it...
