Re: portupgrade upgrade procedure
In response to Michael P. Soulier [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hello, Why is the upgrade procedure recommended to be portupgrade -R package instead of portupgrade -r package ? If -R is Act on all those packages required by the given packages as well. isn't it more important to rebuild the packages that depend on the package being rebuilt, ala -r? Personally, I use -R. Occasionally, I've had problems with dependent packages _requiring_ a rebuild after rebuilding a library. I've _never_ had trouble with a library having trouble after building dependent packages. When I'm upgrading a system, I start with portupgrade -an | grep '\+', then I pick a good place to start and use portupgrade -Rn pkg_name to see what's going to happen before actually pulling the trigger. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
