A laptop in the battery... wow, is the decharging now computer optimized? ;-)

> at a bad time.  all of my +CONTENTS files are gone.  Is there any hope?

Hard solution:
  - get your ports in /usr/ports down to the corrsponding installed version
  - "make install -DFORCE_PKG_REGISTER" each

Easy solution:
  - let your ports as is
  - force an install
  - pray that not much files have changed
  - "pkgdb -F" and let it remove the old ports for those where more  
than one exists

Collaborative solution:
  - post the pkgname of each
  - let people here send the +CONTENTS files to you

Bye,
Alexander.
