I needed to update php5(x)-gd (which needs png15). problem is, the server has php5 (php5.3) installed, so in order to upgrade php5 (5.3) to php53 (5.3), I looked in /usr/ports/UPDATING (I didn't find my answer there, not sure why, I will look again, and add some notes.) I think the OFFICIAL version of what is supposed to happen is: portmaster --list-origins > /tmp/pkgs portmaster -r lang/php53 lang/php5 (ok, I am not really sure) I did this: cd /var/db/pkgs renamed everything php5- to php53- then sed -i '' -e 's/php5/php53/g' /var/db/pkgs/* then on to tinderbox to build php5-gd woops, it sets dependency for php5 (5.4) so, in tinderbox need to set DEFAULT_PHP_VER=53 then pecl-pdflib (which needs png15) need updating, and it sets php5 (5.4) as its dependency! and joomla25, all need to be recompiled with DEFAULT_PHP_VER. anyway we can just leave php5x like perl versions (many of them, on default), like mysql-client*, python, etc? just putting on very small update in has taken 4 hours. (ps, web site never went down this way, it was running all through the update process, sometimes important in todays world) back to official updating in /usr/ports/UPDATING: where did I miss the updating instructions if you want to KEEP php53? -- Michael Scheidell, CTO >*| * SECNAP Network Security Corporation d: +1.561.948.2259 w: http://people.freebsd.org/~scheidell
