Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG ok .. here is the senario: i go and install gnome and then i decide that i want to install the newest version of kde .. so i cvsup my ports and install kde.. now i want to remove gnome from the ports using make deinstall but it doestn't work because the gnome port is not the same used for the installation and i can't go and delete the packages because there were lot's of dependencies that i don't know (im talking in general). so what is the best strategy to install update uninstall packages while keeping a clean system that doesn't need to be reinstalled after six month's to update it??? im sure im not the only one suffering from that.
