If you can get everything into a pkg repo, "pkg upgrade -f" should reinstall everything regardless of if pkg thinks it needs to. I suspect that your problem is minimum proper rebuilding rather than reinstallation. I just keep a list of packages I want (vs all build dependencies), which made my what-needs-rebuilding list much smaller (the dependency list is huge, but I didn't need to track that). I have a list of 58 packages I want installed, but have 494 packages installed for dependencies and I think the build total (some build dependencies don't get installed) is 600+. Your story is reminding me about my portmaster problems back in the day (that drove me to try poudriere, not get it, try synth, then run on synth until I ran into other issues (arm64) that remotivated me to learn poudriere). I know there is someone that has tried to fix portmaster in the meantime, but I think the basic issue is that there are, and will continue to be, issues with incompatible build dependencies that are "solved" by clean-room build systems which are probably the cause of some of those make loops. The last time I had this conversation, someone who had been beating on portmaster spoke up about the work they'd been doing to try and get the clean-room work added to it, but I don't know about the status of that. I think you're going to be aggravated until you find a ports management fix that works for you. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
