*- I'm running a ~2 days old FreeBSD 5.3-SECURITY install; I'm still getting my feet wet with FreeBSD. Here's the process I've been using to keep my ports tree up-to-date: # portsnap fetch # portsnap update # make fetchindex # portsdb -u # portupgrade -varRPP
I've also been reading /u/p/UPDATING before actually running portupgrade; today I noticed that the Perl 5.8.6->5.8.7 upgrade required running a script afterwards. I then ran portupgrade, which updated Perl, Ruby and some other ports. It failed on firefox and gtk20, however, because it couldn't find libm.so.4. I then tried to run perl-after-upgrade, but the Perl interpreter won't run because it can't find libm.so.4 either. Symlinking /l/libm.so.3 -> /l/libm.so.4 gets rid of the error, but then the interpreter complains about a crypt library...symlinking each of the required libs seems a) unlikely to be a good solution in the end and b) hackish, plus I'm not even sure it *really* makes the interpreter any happier. Have I missed some important step? The OS itself is kept up-to-date using freebsd-update, although I don't *think* this would affect eg Perl.
