Certainly I find it difficult to leave my laptop on for long enough to=20 recompile everything when I upgrade -current (since I actually use it=20 for work), and portupgrade -fa has no way to tell if it's already done=20 something. If there were pseudo base ports you could tell it to force=20 upgrade everything that depends on the old base port and it would DTRT. I, of course, have no patches for such a thing :) I've deleted /usr/local & /var/db/pkg in the past, it can be very=20 therapeutic :) However it is not so good when your mp3 collection is=20 mounted on /usr/local/mp3 and you forgot to unmount it first.. :( =2D-=20 Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C --nextPart1862751.5vLI0Mh6JJ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.12 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBKaVrU5ZPcIHs/zowRAjimAKChX1z895CZ6+YwFI2AC8GnRGJmJgCeNVwK EDfsTISjlY20fd3WDrqGrs0= =G5dX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1862751.5vLI0Mh6JJ--
