--BoDqKHKmWrz+Gi55 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable For my "development machines (laptop & build machine), I track stable/10 & head daily, and update ports (also daily) under stable/10 using portmaster. There's been a bit of turbulence now and then, but overall, the process generally works. In particular, ports/UPDATING has fairly explicit instructions for performing migrations of this nature -- e.g., extrapolating a bit from the instructions for portmaster users in the 20150513 entry: portmaster -o lang/perl5.22 lang/perl5.20 portmaster -f -D `pkg shlib -R libperl.so.5.20|tail +2` which worked (as shown on my laptop): g1-252(10.2-S)[1] pkg info -o perl\* perl5.22-5.22.0_2 lang/perl5.22 g1-252(10.2-S)[2]=20 Up to a few weeks ago, I had also been using portmaster on my "production" machines. My primary incentive for migrating to using "pkg upgrade" on these systems was their conversion from i386 to amd64 (and the daunting prospect of rebuilding all of those ports -- and having the machines' services disabled during that period. (I documented that experience in <http://www.catwhisker.org/~david/FreeBSD/convert_i386_amd64.html>.) I have since continued to use poudriere on my build machine on a weekly cycle, then updating FreeBSD base, then the installed packages on the production machines every Sunday since -- which process has been working rather well. Now, however, after having updated my development machines to use Perl5.22, I'd like to do the same for the production machines. The above-referenced ports/UPDATING entry merely states: The default Perl version has been switched to Perl 5.20. If you are using binary packages to upgrade your system, you do not have anything to do, p= kg upgrade will do the right thing.... Fortunately, I have a test machine that is set up like the producton one that has the bulk of the ports/packages installed, so I tried an upgrade cycle on it. The update of FreeBSD from: FreeBSD pogo.catwhisker.org 10.2-BETA1 FreeBSD 10.2-BETA1 #417 r285346M/28= 5355:1001519: Fri Jul 10 04:29:33 PDT 2015 root@freebeast.catwhisker.or= g:/common/S2/obj/usr/src/sys/ALBERT amd64 to FreeBSD pogo.catwhisker.org 10.2-STABLE FreeBSD 10.2-STABLE #465 r287480M/= 287482:1002500: Sat Sep 5 04:17:26 PDT 2015 root@freebeast.catwhisker.= org:/common/S1/obj/usr/src/sys/ALBERT amd64 was (quite) uneventful -- it Just Worked. After the successful reboot, I then stopped services (that relied on installed ports/packages) on the machine and performed "pkg upgrade". While it claimed success and exited with an exit status of 0, it says that what it did with respect to Perl was: perl5: 5.20.2_5 -> 5.20.2_6 which isn't quite what I had in mind. In checking the package repository, I see: freebeast(10.2-S)[9] (cd All; ls -lT perl*) -rw-r--r-- 5 nobody wheel 13746168 Aug 16 04:33:03 2015 perl5-5.20.2_6.t= xz -rw-r--r-- 5 nobody wheel 13935800 Jul 4 14:53:37 2015 perl5.18-5.18.4_= 15.txz -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody wheel 13958800 Sep 5 05:53:23 2015 perl5.22-5.22.0_= 2.txz freebeast(10.2-S)[10]=20 I suppose a bit of housecleaning is in order... but is the existence of the the perl5-5.20.2_6.txz the reason/excuse for not picking up perl5.22-5.22.0_2.txz? What do I need to do to switch to perl5.22 on my production machines? Thanks! Peace, david --=20 David H.
