Default cvsup upgrading/updating ports tree

i run in ports directory

i run
cd /usr/ports
make update fetchindex
cd /usr/src
make update
make buildworld
make buildkernel
make installkernel
fastboot
mergemaster -p
make installworld
mergemaster
fastboot

portsfile
Code:
*default host=cvsup3.nl.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=.
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
ports-all
srcfile
Code:
*default host=cvsup4.nl.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_7_0
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
src-all
Yet after doing all that i notice that the ports packages are not upgraded/updated at all what am I doing wrong?

What is the output of: # cd /usr/ports && make update

All you're doing to the ports tree in the above is updating the makefiles from the repository. To actually upgrade/update the packages you've installed from the ports tree is to use portupgrade or portmaster or another tool such as that.

The output of make update is just that it adds edits removes files from /usr/ports .. afterwards i do make fetchindex, ..

Yes but when i have to update kernel and such i would want it to work, i shouldn't have to run portupgrade afterwards, of course I'm aware of portupgrade, I'm also aware of portsnap fetch update ..

The kernel/world are completely seperate from ports. Updating kernel/world won't update ports, and vice-versa. Building the "world" only builds the base operating system. Anything you install from ports is 3rd party and not part of the base operating system.

So yes, you do have to use some other method to manage your ports installations. I'd recommend portmaster as it's a simple shell script, nothing fancy that requires a heavy depend. like ruby (*cough* portupgrade *cough*).

updating kernel and world updates the userland and kernel.

ports == third party packages outside of FreeBSD source tree

that's why it doesn't work the same way ;-)

Correct. make update in /usr/ports and /usr/src works the same way: it only updates the files under /usr/ports and /usr/src.

When you update the world and kernel, you re-compile everything, and re-install everything (the make buildworld, buildkernel, installkernel, installworld steps).

To do the same for ports, you have to re-compile and re-install them, using a tool like portmaster.

See how they both work the same way, but you were skipping the steps for the ports?
