Upgrading Production www Servers, MySQL Servers, etc, etc

[Max Clark]

Hi,

Portupgrade compares the version of the port installed vs. the version of
the port available in the ports tree. So for it to be useful you must be
running cvsup and updating your ports collection. After you run cvsup you
can modify the makefile and then run portupgrade which would give you the
desired effect you are speaking about.

Hi List,
I asked a couple of questions a few months ago about upgrading ports on
production machines and portupgrade seemed to be a recommended tool for
this, even on production servers. So now I  have questions about
portupgrade :-)

I want to use port upgrade to upgrade ports but what about ports where I
have modified the Makefile? Will I get the opportunity to modify the
Makefile after it downloads the newest port; but before it installs? I
have dug around for tutorials/ how-to's for portupgrade but I have not
been so lucky as to find answers regarding this.
Thanks for help!!
Lewis
