Hi,
Having used portupgrade for several years I'm thinking to make the
switch to portmaster since both of them seem to be fully supported as
far as upgrading ports is concerned.
Anything to consider when going from portupgrade to portmaster?
Caveats/pitfalls?
Is there
portupgrade at work where we
have several FreeBSD servers which shares /usr/ports.
Is there also a way back, i.e. from portmaster to portupgrade?
No problem at all. You can even have both installed. If you upgrade your
outdated port with portupgrade, portmaster will not try to upgrade
port with portupgrade, portmaster will not try to upgrade it
and vice versa, unless you force it to (which makes no sense).
I am more than one year FreeBSD user :), started with 7.0 and I have to used
portupgrade but later I did change to portmaster which I like it but few day
ago I had a problem
at all. You can even have both installed. If you upgrade your
outdated port with portupgrade, portmaster will not try to upgrade it
and vice versa, unless you force it to (which makes no sense).
