Thanks, but no, you misunderstand. I just upgraded to servers to 8.4 and
decided to adopt the new pkgng system at the same time. Any time I
upgrade the OS, I always rebuild all ports. I've been using portmaster
-ad to do that for a while now.
Ah, ok. Sorry for the confusion.
I'm still using portupgrade, and haven't used portmaster, so I have
nothing to add about that.
One one of the servers I seem to be in some sort of loop. Every time I
run portmaster -ad the same ports come up for install/upgrade. Yet when
portmaster completes it says the ports were successfully installed. Run
portmaster -ad again, the same list pops up.
All I can say is follow this mailing list closely. There seems to be a
lot of problems with the ports tree lately, it has made me lose some
confidence in the ports tree. Now I only update when I absolutely have
to.
Me too. Between staging and the change to pkgng, everything is upside
down. It seems FreeBSD is headed toward the dependency hell of Linux
instead of the smooth running ports system we once had.
