    Huge command on portmaster

    I was doing portmaster -a . When it finished, the output it's saved in "/tmp/portmasterfail.txt" I won't post the whole command because it's so huge that it has more than 8000 characters.

    Convert from ports to packages

    pkg upgrade will reinstall unlocked ports as packages, and then presumably those packages can be managed (updated) through pkg.

    Solved Portmaster with flavors

    For those who could look for the correct command to replace, for example, old unison-nox with new unified port with nox11 flavor, I used: portmaster -o net/unison@nox11 unison-2.48.4_2 and it worked! Thanks to portmaster developpers!

    How to simplify "Please rebuild all installed 3rd party software"

    I greatly dread the inevitiable "Please rebuild all installed 3rd party software" message from freebsd-update and I'm convinced there are ways to reduce the pain. I seek advice. - 1st: It seems to me that the primary intent for the universal rebuild is to remove all previous version library...

    mixing binary packages and compiled ports - keeping it up to date

    Setting: FreeBSD 11.0 RELEASE I have binary packages installed using pkg. Works great and fine in itself. I have installed from source some ports as the options used in the binary version was not what I needed. Works great and fine in itself. Mixing both as such works as advertised, but I'm...
