Hello, i have a question about the mechanism of updating the ports tree. I have setup the cvsup script and it runs very fine. It's easy and very clean to update the kernel and the base FreeBSD system. Now my question by example: I have installed php-4.0.5 via the ports procedure. A couple of weeks later i run the cvsup script and I get some new decription files for a patched version of php. I run make and it does nothing because the source files have not changed yet. I rename the work directory and run make again. Now make fetches the new sources and and starts building php again. It stops with a error messages because php needs a newer version of curl. I change into this directory and update curl in the same way (renaming the work diretory/make/make install). Is there another way to update the ports? I have looked for something like this: /usr/ports/www/mod_php4/make update The way I does the update does not seem very clean to me (the cvsup procedure at all is still the most comfortable way - i love it). I'am asking this because I am looking for a way of setting up some systems without haveing to update them by hand.
