I don't have the exact output
Incorrect syntax -- should be one of the following (your choice): cd /usr/ports && svn update svn update /usr/ports > So I tried: > cd /usr/ports > svn update > Which replied: > svn: E155036: Please see the 'svn upgrade' command > svn: E155036: The working copy at '/usr/ports' > is too old (format 29) to work with client version '1.8.0 (r1490375)' > (expects f > ormat 31).

Please look very, VERY closely at what the command is that it's telling you to use. Read it 4 times over. Pay close attention. The explanation: You installed subversion 1.7 or earlier when you originally started (i.e. subversion-1.7 or 1.6 or something else was installed). No problem. You then updated your ports tree. No problem. You then ran portmaster -a to upgrade/update all your ports (rebuild them). No problem. However this updated subversion to the latest in ports, which is 1.8. The subversion metadata (stored in the .svn directories, ex. /usr/src/.svn, /usr/ports/.svn, etc.) has changed as of 1.8. This is why you need to do "svn upgrade" in those directories. This is a one-time thing you have to do. That's all. -- | Jeremy Chadwick j...@koitsu.org | | UNIX Systems Administrator http://jdc.koitsu.org/ | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
