Upgrading KDE

B

I read the /usr/ports/UPDATING today and it mentions
Code: 
20130203:
  AFFECTS: users of KDE SC 4
  AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org

  KDE SC ports have been updated to 4.9.5. kdemultimedia4, kdenetwork4,
  kde-runtime and kde-workspace ports have been split, they must be
  deinstalled before running any port upgrade tool:

  # pkg_delete -f kdemultimedia-4\* kdenetwork-4\* \
    kde-workspace-4\* kde-runtime-4\*
Anyone knows what it means?

It means:
That KDE ports are now updated to 4.9.5 version.
In order to upgrade any port you must first deinstall the packages named before (kdemultimedia4, kdenetwork4, kde-runtime, kde-workspace ) using the command supplied at the bottom line. pkg_delete -f will force deinstallation of mentioned packages.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but using the * char means "ALL" inside the directory.

Hope it could be clearer now. Regards.
 
The * character is passed to pkg_delete instead of being replaced by "all" by the shell, since it is escaped, and will be replaced by versioning information.
