Hello All I've CVSup'd my system and my ports tree (ports-all). Now I'm using # pkg_version -v to see which installed ports have an upgrade available. Working with this info, I go into each port I wish to upgrade and # portupgrade -R port-name I can't do a # portupgrade -aR as I can't leave Thinkpad up and running in one place long enough to build all of them. I'm iteratively using the steps above to upgrade my ports tree. Is there a better/different way? Am I skipping any steps? Since I'm upgrading one port at a time, do I need to run portsdb? Also, I see references in the archives to # cd /usr/ports # make index Do I need to do this? Everything seems to be working well, I'm just wondering if my method is proper.
