Hello,
I have a FreeBSD 7.3 release p2 installation where I would like to upgrade all the ports with the portmanager program. This server is running a program x (which is the primary function of this server) The application was added with
[cmd=]pkg_add[/cmd].
Now that I want to run the
[cmd=]portmanager -u[/cmd]
to upgrade all, it complains that this application needs to be removed before portmanager can continue because it is no longer in the ports collection. (I actually think that it was never in the ports collection).
How can I continue safely without removing the program? The man page seems to say that the -ip option should ignore the program. This is a production system and I prefer this application not to have downtime.
Is there more info on the -ip option, I thought that the following command would leave my application in tact:
[cmd=]portmanager -ip group/appname[/cmd].
Hope someone can clarify this.
Kind Regards,
Herman
