The base worked fine, the ports were completely broken. And even if it was somehow broken (perhaps buildworld did not correctly built it) if it was part of the base it would not depend on any external ports. >> And of course I could not perform svn sw because svn was broken too. > r232944 | lev | 2009-04-29 15:11:17 +0300 > ... > (3) Add STATIC option to build only static binaries [2] > ... While that would not apply to my case (switch within major version), what about ABI incompatibilities? >> And since svn has tons of dependencies it took me nearly an hour to >> recompile them (portupgrade and Ruby were broken too). > that's why I don't use portupgrade for a long time;-) > use portmaster WTF Other than that it works very well, but I will give portmaster a try. -- Best regards, Derek mailto:takeda@takeda.tk Cole's Law: Thinly sliced cabbage.
