Keepting Ports Up to Date

Written by Greg King Friday, 01 January 2010 20:29

FreeBSD Ports allow for easy installation of applications.

 


 

Keeping Ports Up To Date


# cvsup -g -L2 /etc/ports-supfile
# cd /usr/ports;less UPDATING 

(You should get into the habit of checking this file for changes each
time you update your ports collection, before attempting any portupgrades.)  Also, if you have any custom ports that are known to break with upgrades, run # portupgrade -an to show what would be upgraded.

# make fetchindex
# pkgdb -F
# portupgrade -av
