Hi everyone,
I just wanted to pass on how I've had so
much success using portupgrade to
install new software under FreeBSD 6.0
I build my previous installations into
packages and backup them up to the
location specified by
PKG_TMPDIR=/usr/local/temp/ports_pkgs.bak
(which I never remember but have it set
in root's shell env. anyway)
I just installed the native Flash plugin
for Mozilla which works great.
#portupgrade -bNr flashplugin-mozilla
I love portupgrade's "globbing". Can't
use it blindly but almost.
I'd love to hear what other users are
having good success with for this or
other tasks.
Best Regards,
