I'm looking for a way to move everything connected with ports and packages aside, so that I can start fresh but with the ability to easily roll it back when things go badly (as they surely will).
I have in mind to something like this: # cd /usr # mkdir old # mv ports local old # mkdir ports local # cd /var/db # mkdir old # mv ports pkg old # mkdir ports pkg Is there anything else that needs to be saved before fetching a new ports tree and starting to build things (or install prebuilt packages)? This is on 8.1, although I suspect the answer does not depend on the OS version. And yes, there's plenty of space in /usr and /var. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
