From: Christer Solskogen on 18 Oct 2009 04:57 Hi! Is portupgrade the only tool that can upgrade packages by sharing /usr/ports? I was looking into pkg_upgrade from bsdadminscripts, but that tool seemed to download the INDEX file from ftp.freebsd.org even if I have it in /usr/ports. -- chs, _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"

It's not ready yet, but I'm trying to get support for adding these features to portmaster: http://dougbarton.us/portmaster-proposal.html Doug -- Improve the effectiveness of your Internet presence with a domain name makeover! http://SupersetSolutions.com/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"

I can't comment on the behaviour of pkg_upgrade, but your options, irrespective of whether you're sharing out /usr/ports, using ftp.freebsd.org as a repository, or making use of your own local package server, are currently limited to - portupgrade -PP - the pkg_upgrade script from bsdaminscripts - doing it manually by first using pkg_delete(1) Personally, I'd like to see pkg_add(1) enhanced to accommodate the binary-only upgrade functionality as provided by OpenBSD's pkg_add. <http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=pkg_add&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+4.5&format=ascii> Then, again, I really do want a pony. ;-) -- George _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org" |
