How to deal with the upgrades? The port math/scilab depends on the port java/jgraphx. scilab is skipped during the package build process because jgraphx cannot be packaged due to the need for interactive license confirmation during the build process. The can be confirmed against the latest package build here: http://beefy2.isc.freebsd.org/build.html?mastername=10amd64-default&build=2014-12-31_03h22m27s As per Coert's message, you can build both java/jgraphx and math/scilab manually from ports, or use an automated ports tool such as ports-mgmt/portmaster, or setup a package building infrastructure using ports-mgmt/poudriere. -- From: Benjamin Woods woodsb02@gmail.com
