I am trying to update a port but I am having a problem. I am in fact having problems while patch'ing my old port. Here is what I have done. #cp -r category/ports category/ports.old #cd category/ports #cd /usr/ports/category #diff -ruN ports.old ports >patch I have 2 questions here. 1)I have to remove a directory from my port. How can I do that? I have rm -fr /usr/ports/category/ports/files but it didn't work since patch didn't remove that directory. 2)After patching ports with `patch < patch' i see files with *.orig but I think they shouldn't be there. I have read the porters' handbook of course. But I think there can be a ports' upgraders :) section too in that guide. Thanks for your help.
