pkg delete
everything (don't worry, your configuration files will survive this) and start fresh. It doesn't hurt to do this on a regular basis anyway, it clears out all the crap you inevitably collect over time.In what way? It rebuilds all ports, so those binaries will be replaced. Otherwise...Hm, but the problem here is that it will wreck havoc on my /usr/local. Is there no way to just rebuild all ports and reinstall them?
Poudriere and Synth use clean/pristine build environments rather than live systems, which improves reliability (less breakage because of quirks and corner cases of a live system).Then I suggest using Synth or Poudriere to build your own package repository.
Yes, I did read the communication but this doesnt seem clear to me, i want synth to be able to update existing packages on host system, but i also want it to build some packages and NOT install them to host as they are going to be taken to jail using pkg.
I have upgraded 10.3 to 11 and i am still finding binaries with .so problems. Looks like portmaster -af didnt rebuild all sources? How to force rebuild of ALL installed ports?
