But I also wanted to clarify that I specifically do not want to perform in-place upgrading from source, because the intent is to have a minimal time window during which the system is inoperative. In fact the current procedure is do pkg_delete *all* packages and just re-install. This is in fact fine (though it would be better to be able to intelligently re-install only what is needed). However note that I specifically do *not* want to play games with trying to minimalistically upgrade only those things that specifically are required according to dependency information. I gave up on this years ago; it just doesn't work without some perfect mythological ports tree. I specifically want to build packages from a snapshot of the ports tree; I do not want to mix old/new software, regardless of whether the dependency claims that some particular major version of a library is supposed to be compatible. The intent is to effectively build and deploy something which is as close as possible to what the port maintainer/build cluster will have tested, at all times. --=20 / Peter Schuller PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller <peter.schuller@infidyne.com>' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to getpgpkey@scode.org E-Mail: peter.schuller@infidyne.com Web: http://www.scode.org --r5Pyd7+fXNt84Ff3 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkk29ysACgkQDNor2+l1i31LPACeNQMS5PdsCAmCP/Ihcw3X61B3 tfYAnizmMPcKkFIJTDWpYfXYwCtalGLl =G7YV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --r5Pyd7+fXNt84Ff3--
