All three tools will make a back-up of an installed package before deinstalling it and installing the new version. If this fails Portupgrade and portmanager will immediately restore the backup usually with no more disruption that a normal upgrade. Portmaster leaves you to restore the backup manually which is a minor hassle if you notice it immediately, a problem if you find out the hard way, and a potential nightmare if you miss it altogether. ___ 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
