Portupgrade can do part of that for you. If you tell it to use packages, it will check for them locally, and if that fails it uses pkg_fetch to fetch the package. pkg_fetch, like pkg_add, uses the environment variable PACKAGEROOT to specify where to look for packages. So the syntax is something like PACKAGEROOT=http://myrepository/packages portupgrade --use-packages-only --all That leaves the problem of installing the package the first time, and ignores the *other* problems you've pointed out with portupgrade. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
