X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list Reply-To: krinklyfig@spymac.com List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 18 Oct 2004 22:05:29 -0000 I'm wondering how to remove a custom patch for a port. I am sort of new at this, but I've managed to learn how to patch a port and upgrade it for testing. But I'm not at all sure how to remove that patch if need be. What I've been doing is removing a chunk of the ports tree with cd /usr/ports && rm -rf */*portname* and then cvsup'ping again, but this doesn't seem right or very efficient. I've read the man page for patch, but the only thing I can come up with is the reverse option, which I must admit I don't totally understand. Can anyone explain this in a way that makes sense? - jt
