Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Well, now I have synchronized my system's sources using CVSup. I've also "made world" and it wasn't at all as hard as I expected. BUT: I think I have to update my ports-collection as well, since the ports collection of my *old* system (before syncing sources and making world) obviously won't compile. So I thought I'd get the whole /ports dir from an FTP-Server. I would then rm -r my local ports dir and place the new one there. Is this the *correct* way to do it? I think so, but I thought I'd better ask first because I don't know if deleting my current ports dir in order to install a new one will harm something (for example the database in which the ports I have already built are installed). I hope someone can tell me if what I'm planning to do is right, or ,if not, how I should do it instead...
