Hello, I just upgraded a machine from FreeBSD 6 to 7. Very nice. But my portupgrade -fa failed after a while. How can I know which ports/packages are still from FreeBSD 6? Is there a datee recorded somewhere or the FreeBSD-version of the port/package? The date of the files in /var/db/pkg/* is unreliable, because installing a package gives these files the date of the files in the package. How do I know which ports I still need to update? Ronald.
Ronald, Look for files that are older than your upgrade/portupgrade -fa date in /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin. e.g. $ find $dir -mtime +2 -type f -xdev -print Add a little guesswork/pkg_info to determine which ports they're from. Throw in a few more forced recursive portupgrades incase anything is broken for having built against older libraries. -- Alex On Tue, Jul 01, 2008 at 05:12:05PM +0200, Ronald Klop wrote:> Hello, > > I just upgraded a machine from FreeBSD 6 to 7.

Hi
May be this will be useful for you (from man portupgrade):
Rebuild and reinstall all that ports that were installed
prior to the
date 2001-09-20:
portupgrade -f '<2001-09-20'

Sorry for th late reply, I didn't see this thread earlier. You can look at the ctime of the +DESC files. That should be the time when the packages were installed. This command will list all packages in the order they were installed: ls -lcrt /var/db/pkg/*/+DESC Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co. KG, Marktplatz 29, 85567 Grafing b. M.
