Hi,
I have recently been having trouble with running portsdb after cvsup. I
am running 6.2-RELEASE-p7.
The approach that I had been using was:
/usr/local/bin/cvsup -L 0 /usr/sup/supfile
/usr/local/sbin/portsdb -Uu
This had worked great until the emacs22 update. Now portsdb crashes due
to the emacs entry in /etc/make.conf. However, I see very little
chatter on the lists about this. I have started to wonder if the bulk
of the community may be updating their ports differently. Upon some
limited research I found that I could use:
/usr/local/bin/cvsup -L 0 /usr/sup/supfile
/usr/local/sbin/portsdb -Fu
This work fine for me. I can then use tools such as pkg_version,
pkg_delete, portinstall and portupgrade without any problems.
My open ended question is what does the rest of the community do to
update their ports collection?
Thanks,
Arend
