Hello! I thought I'd ask you all if my make_ports.sh is as convenient as I think it is, or if it's totally off track or what not: # cat make_ports.sh cvsup -g -L 2 /etc/cvsupfile cd /usr/ports make fetchindex portupgrade -raP portsdb -uU pkgdb -F portsclean -CDLP
Personally I broke my updating script into two stages. One updates the ports tree and generates a report on what's out of date (via port_version). The second stage runs a script that was generated by the first stage that actually does the portupgrade. This gives me a chance to review the updates and postpone any major ones (openoffice, KDE) until it's convenient.
As for "portupgrade -raP" I want it to only use packages since my system is very slow, and recompiling all my ports is not an option. This command, however, doesn't seem to work at all. I get a lot of: ** The command returned a non-zero exit status: 1 ** Failed to fetch ... And it ends up compiling my ports instead ... I truly hope anyone can help. Thanks!
Which version of FreeBSD are you running? Seems that pre-compiled packages are only available for the latest release (5.4 right now).
