You definitely want to check out portupgrade if you're wanting to maintain software from the ports collection, but I'm afraid a # portupgrade samba-2.2.8 will not get you the desired results. Now, I don't know if they're mutually exclusive, but you may want to install Samba 3.x on another machine to test it first. I use it here at home, and yes the 3.x branch does introduce alot of functionality not found in 2.2.8. -- Joshua "Lousy, loveable dog." -- Homer Simpson ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Upgrading a port....
Hi, I currently have Samba 2.2.8a running. I'd like to get up to the 3.0.x.x version, as I've heard there are significant advances in that version. Can someone tell me if I do a 'make install' from the /usr/ports/net/samba-devel directory if it'll "upgrade" my current Samba 2.2.8a to 3.x.x.x? If not, what will happen? Also, how would I go about upgrading in that case?

upgrading a port which has had a name change
I have xmms installed - in port_info it is shown as xmms-esound-1.2.7_2 but when I ran portupgrade xmms-esound it failed because it is no longer called xmms-esound, it has changed to xmms-1.2.7_3. How do I do a portupgrade in this situation? Do I have to uninstall the old version and install the new version? -- Chip To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
