Hello,

I have installed portupgrade tool on my system. I need some clarification before i use it. At present, my system has mysql3.23,Apache1.3 and no php. 

Earlier, My system had php4.2.2 but when i used "pkg_update php4.2.2" ; php4-4.2.2 got uninstalled and  new version php4-4.3.3 was not  installed because it needed upgradation of mysql.

Anyways, Now I want to install php4-4.3.3.1 in my system using portupgrade without manually upgrading mysql. When i gave "pkg_info | grep php" i did not get any output since i do not have php installed on my system. So, I am not sure what should i specify after -NRr in "portupgrade -NRr ??????". 

Will the command " portupgrade -NRr php4-4.3.3.1" work? Will this command install php4-4.3.3.1 and also upgrade all its dependencies(if necessary). 

I would really appreciate any help.

 

Thanks,

Naveen.

Why don't you use portupgrade instead? You can install it via
/usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade if you don't have it. Though I am not
certain if it works or even exists for FreeBSD 4.5

Anyway, if you do have it, try this:

pkg_info | grep php
portupgrade -Rr 

Cheers,

Jorn
