Re: force rebuild a port

Hi Richard, last week I did a test and it worked, but it was not what I needed. Probably it was a port already in need to upgrade. I have a system now where all ports are up-to-date (as of "port outdated"). If I issue e.g. port -n upgrade --force --no-rev-upgrade gtk2 It takes it time to

Re: force rebuild a port

To explain: -n prevents rebuilding ports that the ports being upgraded (works with install too I suppose, but there should be no need for that) depend on; it may cause failure if they're not already installed and up-to-date --force forces upgrading even of a port that's current; but without

Re: force rebuild a port

How about port -n upgrade --force --no-rev-upgrade crankyport It might not work if crankyport needs the latest of something it depends on and that isn't already up-to-date. But a lot of times, it does work. > On Mar 6, 2024, at 15:14, Bill Cole > wrote: > > On 2024-03-06 at 14:19:59

force rebuild a port

Hi! suppose I want to rebuild a port, but it has no version update. 1) e.g. rev-upgrade shows it to be rebuild but "port outdated" doesn't show it. 2) Or I want to rebuild it with a different compiler. How can I do? "port upgrade X" will do nothing because X is not outdated. "port upgrade
