How to manage multiple ports more efficiently ? There are question that rise for most administrators, and possible users of FreeBSD. I'm personally have this algorithm: 1. Make some scripts like this http://www.mif.vu.lt/~rolnas/freebsd/ with options, that I need. 2. Daily run ./make_rolnas fetch as non root. 3. After run ./make_rolnas update as root and see, if I need something to upgrade. 4. If I need to reinstall all ports, I run "pkg_delete -a", and let /make_rolnas install to run for night. But there are some ports (like www/mod_php4 and now net/samba) that cause problems, because those create additional files, when run fetch. When it tries to create Makefile.inc there some problems: a) it cannot create in /usr/ports, because it can be read-only mounted from NFS server; b) it cannot create in $WRKDIRPREFIX, because it can be read-only for user, that run fetch or checksum. There is not clear solution. Rolandas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
