Just put the line ports-all tag=. in your supfile whenever you do the csup. Remember what the ports tree is - a skeleton for installing ports. Doing this will just bring the tree up to date. Then you will need to build and install the desired ports to get the actual utilities updated. You might also add doc-all tag=. to the supfile to get the latest docs. ////jerry > > Thx for a pointer > > matthias > -- > Matthias Apitz > Manager Technical Support - OCLC GmbH > Gruenwalder Weg 28g - 82041 Oberhaching - Germany > t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 > e - w http://www.oclc.org/ http://www.UnixArea.de/ > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
