I was just wondering what is the right way to upgrade a port... say i have foobar-1.2 and the port has been upgraded to foobar-2.0 do I 1. pkg_delete foobar-1.2 cd /usr/ports/misc/foobar make install 2. cd /usr/ports/misc/foobar make install the main difference being deleting the package first and installing then the new version or just installing the new version on top of the old one? how do you guys do it and why? regards, -Oscar p.s. wouln't it be cool if you could install on top of the old version and later remove the new version just to find out that the old version still works. :) -- For PGP Public Key: finger obonilla@fisicc-ufm.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
