Re: upgrade software with no package db
Hi Sean, 1. run the cvsup to update your port collection. (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html) The updated port should already contain patching information and will take care of the rest. So do not worry about dependencies. If you prefer to do it manually: 1. run make exctract. 2. run make 3. run make install I hope this helps, Regards, bitHawk - Original Message - From: Sean Ellis [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sent: Monday, January 24, 2005 3:36 AM Subject: upgrade software with no package db Hello, I'm looking moving to a newer Mysql version on a machine where the database of installed packages has been trashed.

So do not worry about dependencies. is that right? I hadn't looked into it yet, but I'd imagined that the system would use the db of installed stuff to verify whether some of the dependency stuff was present or not. Right now pkg_info gives me this, [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/sellis/backups pkg_info ffsrecov-0.5Recover files from a corrupt FFS ( on the one hand, a reminder of the screw-up that obliterated the db, on the other, as you can see, we're paying more attention to backups ; ) thanks, -- Sean ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
