And I would suggest running pkg_create -b, in advance, just in case the install fail and you are left with a deinstalled port. Portupgrade does that automatically. ___ 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"

While you may be able to get away with a simple update some of the time, that is certainly not true all of the time. -Mike ___ 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"

Then just cd to /usr/ports/ftp/proftpd and do make && make deinstall && make reinstall. Most ports will not munge your config files by this process. Just in case, I always set aside a copy of the relevant .conf file as insurance. This is the "manual" do it yourself way. Portupgrade and others can accomplish the same. But this is quick and simple for just doing one port. Also don't forget to restart the daemon afterward. :-) -Mike ___ 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"

Updating 1 single port.
Hi all, I suspect I have an issue with Proftpd and need to update it quickly. At Christmas break we will be apdating all ports and src, but for now, I would like to get the latest version of Proftpd up. What is the best / quickest method of getting 1 single port updated?
