Hi Joshua! To be honest, a portupgrade -a is kind of dangerous... I did it and the system broke. Don't ask why, I have not figured it out yet but eventually portupgrade itself failed (ruby dumps the core). I had a whole bunch of packages loaded so I may have had an overflow or something. In other words, "If it works, don't fix it" :-) Cheerio Olivier On Mon, 2004-06-07 at 06:17, Joshua Lewis wrote: > Hello, > > After running portsdb -Uu I ran a portupgrade -a. > > Other than taking two days to finish is there a reason why upgrading "ALL" > ports at one time is a bad idea? > > one other thing.
