Something similar to 'make buildworld', only for the ports > collection? Look in the archives, there was a thread on this subject a few weeks ago. Chosen excerpt : << Nik Clayton has some patches for pkg_version that generate these commands automatically. http://www.freebsd.org/~nik/pkg_version.1.diff http://www.freebsd.org/~nik/pkg_version.diff >> Thanks to Mark Ovens This patch allows pkg_version to upgrade ports _installed_ on your box. If you want to upgrade all ports, you could install them all and run pkg_version after each cvsup of your ports tree. > Also, when trying the new version of a port, even though > the package may have a different name, won't the binary have the same > name and overwrite the older version? The only upgrade I've done regularly was mergemaster until it was merged in -stable. Upgrading _overwrote_ older version.
