According to /usr/ports/UPDATING, if you want to upgrade to perl5.10,
you do
the following:
Portupgrade users:
0) Fix pkgdb.db (for safety):
pkgdb -Ff
1) Reinstall perl with new 5.10:
portupgrade -o lang/perl5.10 -f perl-5.8.\*
2) Reinstall everything that depends on Perl:
portupgrade -fr perl
My machine got rebooted right in the middle of step 3. Is there a
way to
resume where I left off? Or do I just start over?
Let me rephrase. I don't see a way in portupgrade to start over where
I left off. However, pkg_info -R lang/perl* shows that all my ports
depend on 5.10 and no ports are still depending upon 5.8. Is it safe
to assume that the reboot happened after portupgrade had finished?
Nope. With this info you can assume that step 2/3 worked. Not the step 3/3.
I dont know how to restart at the stage it was before reboot as I dont
use portupgrade.
Personnaly, as portmaster failed with some ports and abort the whole
update process, I wrote a simple sh script which loop over the packages
which need perl (got via the via pkg_info -R, need reordering
thought...), exec portmaster ${PKG}, and keep a list of which reinstall
succeed and which failed.
