Problem with Updating by portupgrade -PP Option

[Hydrogen]

Hi all :)

I have problem with updating a package (for example `nano') using portupgrade -PP option (using packages instead of ports), while no problem using ports only (I mean using portupgrade without -PP).

The following is the output of some utilities to clear the problem:

$ cd /usr/ports

$ portsnap update
Ports tree is already up to date.

$ pkg_version -v | grep -v =
bash-3.2.25 < needs updating (port has 3.2.39_1)
bison-2.3_3,1 < needs updating (port has 2.3_4,1)
...
nano-2.0.6 < needs updating (port has 2.0.9)
...


$ portupgrade -v -R -PP nano

[much output comes here]

Now, I have nano updated:

[root@myfb /usr/ports]# pkg_version -v | grep -i nano
nano-2.0.9 = up-to-date with port

Thank you all, in advance.

Thanks, useful.

Yes, I am using 7.0-RELEASE version, and the point was that. Because, portupgrade -PP goes to get packages from ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7-release in its default manner. So, to change this, I used this: http://www.hydrus.org.uk/journal/portupgrade.html
Briefly, since the portupgrade utility uses uname to determine the FreeBSD version running, and one can hack uname output by setting UNAME_r variable (see man uname), so I did the work successfully by:

env UNAME_r="7.0-STABLE" portupgrade -v -R -PP m4

However, I think it's somehow a dirty way! Is there a standard good way to do this? For example setting a related variable (like the PACKAGESITE one for pkg_add you had mentioned in that post.)...

[danger@]

No, the standard way is to add PACKAGESITE variable to /etc/make.conf:

echo PACKAGESITE=ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7-stable/Latest/ >> /etc/make.conf

This should work better :)

[Hydrogen]

Thank you for your quick replies :)

But, as far as I know, portupgrade does NOT use the PACKAGESITE variable. I set it in make.conf and also in the command-line, but it did NOT work.

There's also the /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf file with some parameters like the following:
# Name: Example values:
# OS_RELEASE: "7.0-CURRENT" "6.1-RELEASE-p8"
# OS_REVISION: "7.0" "6.1"
# OS_MAJOR: "7" "6"
# OS_BRANCH: "CURRENT" "RELEASE"
# OS_PATCHLEVEL: "" "-p8"
# OS_PLATFORM: "i386" "amd64"
# OS_PKGBRANCH: "7-current" "6.1-release"

I also set some of this variables, but did get no result.

[danger@]

ah, indeed. You have to set

ENV['OS_PKGBRANCH'] = 7-stable in pkgtools.conf in the module PkgConfig part of that file.

I hope that one will work.

[osx-addict]

ENV['OS_PKGBRANCH'] = 7-stable

I tried this and it didn't work for my 7.1 system.. I did the folowing :


OS_PKGBRANCH = '7-stable'


When running portupgrade I see the following, but it does work from what I can tell :


---> Checking for the latest package of 'math/libgmp4'

[srinivas]

OS_BRANCH ||= 'STABLE


Does the trick while eliminating the "already initialized constant" warning.

[srinivas]

Make that


OS_BRANCH ||= 'STABLE'


instead.
