Maybe it's a FAQ but... I looked around and found no answer. How can I upgrade a port (with make install or pkg_add) without losing its +REQUIRED file in /var/db/pkg/* ? Some packages that require a particular version of a library (like libpng, please don't ask =) ) would still fail if the library is updated without keeping the old version, but it's better than nothing. If preserved, I could look in +REQUIRED and recompile the depending packages. Is there a "standard" way to do it, or it's better to write a custom script? Thanks! bye, jimmy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
