Hello,
I setup my system using "packages". I have 675 "packages" installed
and 0 "ports" installed.
Q: Is there a simple way to replace each "package" with the locally
compiled "port"?
Ideally the procedure will not ask me any questions and will leave me
with 0 installed "packages" and 675 installed "ports".
You might have a look at ports-mgmt/portmaster. It will prompt you for
configuration settings before proceeding with building your ports.
I just want to add, that this is necessary when upgrading your existing
software. Once "ports" or "packages" are installed, there is no
differentiation to the system. The difference is that packages
(installed via pkg_add(1)) are built once, when a new FreeBSD -RELEASE
is out.
