I am in fact having problems while OFS> patch'ing my old port. Here is what I have done. I use the portupgrade for this. First you have to install it. 1) cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade (please check if this is the rigth directory) 2) make clean install clean 3) rehash (Afther this you can use the tools 4) portversion (port that end with < are old ports, ready for a update) 5) portupgrade -fRr port (This will update your port) (Rr = update all dependency ports to) (f = force a recompile even if the port is up to date) (Check pkg_deinstall to remove a port) Your done.
