And it's not just an issue for sugarCRM - other ports with database backends have similar issues (even portupgrade has been known to upgrade itself into a state where it can't read its own database). The easiest solution I see is for more of the upgrading smarts to move into the core ports system: Add a new "make upgrade" target which defaults to "make uninstall && make install" but can be over-ridden by ports to suit themselves. --=20 Peter Jeremy --84ND8YJRMFlzkrP4 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFFnyu2/opHv/APuIcRAv6AAJ493H/M7DQNDBezxkFlFxLJjx8FMACfejFU 0t7aWCWGrV/mltguOyD43Co= =/iI1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --84ND8YJRMFlzkrP4--
