A more convenient approach is to run 'portmaster --list-origins' which produces a list of root and leaf ports which you can feed back into portmaster when reinstalling the ports, all the other dependencies should sort themselves out. There is a good description of this in the final example near the bottom of the portmaster man page. -- Mike Clarke _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
