portmaster -afv -no-confirm --clean-distfiles-all command - too much automation???
Hi folks, I'm looking at using portmaster to rebuild my ports collection and I'm wondering if using the command: portmaster -afv --no-confirm --clean-distfiles-all (-a - check all ports, update as necessary, -f - always rebuild ports, -v - verbose output, --no-confirm - do not ask the user to confirm the list of ports to be installed and/or updated before proceeding, --clean-distfiles-all - recurse through the installed ports to get a list of distinfo files, then recurse through all files in /usr/ports/distfiles to make sure that they are still associated with an installed port, delete all files without prompting) Do you think that's a little too much automation, or do you think that would be pretty safe to run without screwing things up? :-) Ed ___ 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

I think portmaster's documentation explicitly advises against using -af to rebuild all ports. See the man page for details. -- Bruce Cran ___ 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

Hmmm...I'll check that out Bruce. I saw the command listed on: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/ports-using.html but it doesn't give any cautions against using it.
