Hello, I was updating all packages which have been installed by the FreeBSD 7.0R base installation and X11 with portupgrade like this: # portupgrade -f '<2008-08-13 12:55' i.e. update all packages/ports which have been installed before 2008-08-13 12:55 (this was the time when the installation finished); I picked up this time with an # ls -ltr /var/db/pkg | more and saw at which point the installation finished; so far so good; after some time I cancelled the 'portupgrade' because I forgot to say "--batch" mode; a look into a new # ls -ltr /var/db/pkg | more showed that for each package dir there the time was updated to 'now', i.e. no date before 2008-08-13 12:55 any more; but even with this a 2nd # portupgrade --batch -f '<2008-08-13 12:55' knows exactly which ports/packages have been installed before that date; my question is: where is this installation date stored? thx matthias -- Matthias Apitz Manager Technical Support - OCLC GmbH Gruenwalder Weg 28g - 82041 Oberhaching - Germany t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e <matthias.apitz@oclc.org> - w http://www.oclc.org/ http://www.UnixArea.de/ b http://gurucubano.blogspot.com/ We should all learn from the peoples of The Netherlands, France and Ireland.
