Thanks alll of you for taking time to answer my mail. I really appreciate it. I have (well...the system has) succesfully done the upgrade. I used both pkg_updating and portupdate-scan to scan UPDATING [pkg_updating did not show an entry suggesting to update python to version 2.6 (which Portupdate-scan did)]. AS UPDATING suggests, I made the switch from python 2.5 to python 2.6 (using portupgrade). Then I did a "mass" upgrade... portupgrade -ab --batch ... It took 6h30 upgrading 40 ports (not many ports because I installed this system only few months ago). [Now I should find where the backup packages have been sent] Thanks again and see you here ! d p.s. Robert I meant to say if you prefer to upgrade just a selection of the ports or all of the ports together ;-) On Tuesday 23 June 2009 00:34:59 Charlie Kester wrote: > On Mon 22 Jun 2009 at 13:48:02 PDT RW wrote: > >On Mon, 22 Jun 2009 20:58:41 +0100 > > > >Chris Whitehouse wrote: > >> I'll probably get flamed for this but since I've been using > >> ports-mgmt/portmanager I've almost forgotten > >> about /usr/ports/UPDATING and all that pkgdb -Fu stuff or whatever it > >> was.
