I have been doing a complete re-install of a 12.1 box. I'm having a lot of problems getting ports to compile; libreoffice with FreeBSD patches that fail to apply, QT5-core failing to compile, smaller things that are apparently needed by several applications. I've even installed some pkgs just to get some ports to finish. A mess I attribute to being after the release of 11.4 and lots of new changes being committed. (Along with things like thunderbird sharing code with firefox, but I won't mention that.)
What I want to do is roll all of this back to a point where the ports pool environment appeared nice and calm. Can I do a while-in-use point-in-time with, say, portmaster, that doesn't include "rm -rf /usr/local/*"? Or using any other ports manager? origin ports count is 134, and I can prune a bit first. I'd like to do this live.
thx
