hello listers!
i just got my root prompt back, 26 1/2 hours after entering:
/usr/local/sbin/portupgrade -O arts\* kde\* \*kde-i18n\*
(step 2 in the /usr/ports/UPDATING procedure). i'm using a
generic box with a generic motherboard, hoping to update to kde
3.4.2 in a single-user desktop freebsd 5.3b6. how do the big
boys/girls cvsup? i'm getting a tidier garage while my box bangs
away, but i can't imagine a server servicer out on a
twenty-plus- and-counting-hour long coffe break?
the steps i've taken to this point:
1] cvsup -g -L 2 cvs-supfile
1a] cvsup -g -L 2 doc-supfile
2] cd /usr/ports && make fetchindex
3] cd ~ && /usr/local/sbin/portsdb -fu
4] /usr/local/sbin/pkgdb -fu
4a] /usr/local/sbin/portaudit -F
5] pkg_version -v | grep -i "<" | less
5 b] ... from /usr/ports/UPDATING: # where stuff starts getting
complicated...

# AUTHOR: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
# One data file has been moved from kdeadmin to kdelibs
# between KDE 3.4.1 and KDE 3.4.2. This means that
# ****if you currently have the kdeadmin port installed****
# you will have to take some precautions to update your KDE
# installation. [<= understatement award potential!]
# [also recommended to not use kde while 'updating',
# so.... log out of dfa2, who uses kde, and login to dfa3,
# who uses xfce4... *then* su into root shell and copy/paste
# the following:
# 1.) Delete installed packages which conflict with the updated
# KDE ports.
/usr/local/sbin/pkg_deinstall -f kdeadmin-\[0-9\]\*
# 2.) Now update the remaining KDE ports.
/usr/local/sbin/portupgrade -O arts\* kde\* \*kde-i18n\*
# ** No such installed package: *kde-i18n*
# began around 10:30am, Sat. Sep 3,05...
# ... finally finished Step 2 at 1:00 pm, Sun, Sep 4/05
# 3.) Reinstall the KDE ports you deleted in step 1.
/usr/local/sbin/portinstall -O kdeadmin
#6] Use portupgrade for those ports referenced
# in /user/ports/UPDATING accordingly
/usr/local/sbin/portupgrade -vrR filename
/usr/local/sbin/portsclean -CDD
rm -rf /usr/ports/distfiles/*
any info or directions to info greatly appreciated.
