You may upgrade the port trough portupgrade without any concerns. I do so for more then 10 years so it is OK for me so far. I usually use in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf: PORTUPGRADE_ARGS = ENV['PORTUPGRADE'] || '-v -c -C -r -R' And I execute portupgrade: portupgrade -v -i -a -y If I want to force all upgrades: portupgrade -v -i -a -y -f Regards, Ivailo Tanusheff Gilles <gilles.ganault@free.fr> Sent by: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org 26.05.2008 15:50 To freebsd-questions@freebsd.org cc Subject Is it safe to upgrade libraries? Hello When running "'pkg_version -v", I notice that some libraries are out of date, such as the most important glib: glib-2.14.6 < needs updating (port has 2.16.3) Before I go ahead and run "cd /usr/ports/devel/glib20 ; make ; make install", I'd like to check what the recommended way is to upgrade critical applications like this? As I connect remotely through SSH, I wouldn't want to break this box and have to drive to the location because it won't run after the upgrade. Thank you. __________________________________________
