Synopsis: Make 220.backup-pkgdb cd(1) and backup only the package database. State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: dougb State-Changed-When: Thu Apr 14 19:04:01 UTC 2011 State-Changed-Why: Thank you for your interest in this issue. However, it's safer to back up from the absolute path for a variety of reasons, especially because there may be symlinks involved in the path. Given that restoring should be an infrequent event we can live with a minor inconvenience at that point to have the safety of making sure that the backup itself is valid. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=156396
