Upgrading ports/packages
After spending most of the last years with OpenBSD I am building new FreeBSD 9.1 webserver now..
I am using a FreeBSD box at home to compile the ports into packages. I have set the PACKAGES environment variable Code:
# make config-recursive and # make package-recursive results in nice package hierarchy:Code:
Code:
# pkg_add .portaudit now tells me two ports have security issues: Code:
On April 7 I did a portsnap(8) to get the ports tree on the package building box. What would be be the best way to upgrade these ports on my package building box without going through the ports/packages equivalent of the Windows 2.x or 3.x DLL upgrade hell ?

Yes, I solved it. I backed up the ports tree and the packages and rebuilt those two ports/packages. Fortunately it did not trigger a massive rebuilt of other packages
RE: separate package build machine I prefer not to have to compile ports on a production web server. That is the only reason
