I'm struggling with the upgrade process right now.
I've completed the following:
selfupdate
upgrade outdated
But now I have soem mixed packages like:
postgresql81
postgresql82
postgresql83
in addition to postgres 8.2 having three versions itself.
There are mayby 50+ of these right now.
port -u upgrade outdated never completed successfully because of
dependencies.
Question: I would like to remove as many of these old versions as I can
but it seems that getting all the dependencies out of the way is going
to take a while for all the packages to be updated by the maintainer.
If I wait and just keep running '-u update outdated' will I eventually
clean up all the old packages?
And can someone make any suggestion on what to do with the version
conflicts like perl5.8/perl5.10 and postgresql81..83. I eventually
would like to migrate everything to a common package like perl 5.10 but
I guess right now I really can't do that because of things like
p5-dbd-pg still being tied back to 5.10...
Will package upgrades like perl5.8 eventually upgrade themselves to
perl5.10 once all the package dependencies are also upgrade?
