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 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?
