It is done here, for the most part. (Epiphany remains out of the picture, persistent failure to build webkit...) but
there were a few quirks...
The reinstall of gtk20 (which was newly missing a dependency) depended upon ibus for the install, but ibus depends
on gtk20...
gtk20 ) make -k install
ibus ) pkg_delete && make package
gtk20 ) make package
And the rebuild of roxterm, which was missing a vte rebuild, which was missing a pango rebuild. This occurs
here at least once a year or so...
Here UPDATING usually cannot be followed... that lists over 300 ports needing pixman; I only
use several of them daily, and only had to rebuild a few.
I'm used to these unexpected less-than-full-rebuild extra-rebuilds occuring, but am wondering if FreeBSD could more
precisely anticipate them in the UPDATING instructions someday. [Revising the "portmaster -r pixman" since that may take
several days, and in two hours I'm already done with it AFAIK.]
[Tangentally, has anyone using pkg only, run across the same situation and resolved it with any ease and repeatable
instructions to the ports list??? ]
