PortUpgrade multiple packages?
Is it safe to portupgrade several packages in parallel? Open several root consoles and do a portupgrade in each one at the same time? Bob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That might cause problems if the programs have the same dependencies (fetch conflict or even worse, build conflict) However you can tell portupgrade to install more programs which is probably not really slower than running them parallel (smp etc is excluded from this assumption) -- Armin Pirkovitsch [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have synched-up my ports tree, and have also done portupgrade -Fa so all the sources, as well as any deps are already here. However, I fear several packages may need the same dep, and all try to upgrade it at the same time would make a mess! I don't think portupgrade is smart enough to detect multiple upgrades, at least I have not seen any reference in the docs. Thanks! guess I will just so one a night, some of these are pretty BIG.

You could look over the dependencies and figure out the conflicts by hand. One way to do that would be to use portupgrade -n on the different major packages, and compare the results. Or maybe sysutils/gpkgdep would be easier for you to figure out the overlaps from... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
