I'm running 5.3 RELEASE and trying to learn. I did a ports cvsup. Following the Dru Lavigne article on portupgrade at http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2003/08/28/FreeBSD_Basics.html?page=1 I installed portupgrade and then ran portsdb -Uu. It errored out, telling me that I shouldn't use my "refuse" file that stopped the non- english docs and ports from being loaded on my HD. In trying to understand this issue, I found portmanager, and it looks like it would perform the same function as portupgrade. My questions: Is there a way around the "refuse" file prohibition, perhaps with portmanager? Does portmanager replace portupgrade? Jay O'Brien Rio Linda, California, USA
