Referencing old entries in ports/UPDATING that contain the commands, options, etc. isn't completely safe because those options may change.
In the case of portupgrade(1), at the following options changed between pkgtools-2.0.1 and pkgtools-2.4.3: 2.0.1: -c --clean Do ``make clean'' before each build. This is the default behavior. See the -w option below. -C --cleanup Do ``make clean'' after each installation. This is the default behavior. See the -W option below. -q --noconfig Do not read the configuration file - $PREFIX/etc/pkgtools.conf. 2.4.3: -c --config Run ``make config-conditional'' before everything for all tasks. -w option below. -C --force-config Run ``make config'' before everything for all tasks. -q --quiet Do not display a message when -N specified and there is already installed package. It doesn't bite to make each entry a little bit more "self-contained" at least when it comes to the sequence of commands to be run. Though I haven't yet found a single issue with current practice, it's better to feel safe than to worry at the possibility, excuse me if it's just me ;) Safe for users and developers alike. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
