Problem with Updating by portupgrade -PP Option

Hi all :)

I have problem with updating a package (for example `nano') using portupgrade -PP option (using packages instead of ports), while no problem using ports only (I mean using portupgrade without -PP).

The following is the output of some utilities to clear the problem:

Code:
$ cd /usr/ports

$ portsnap update
Ports tree is already up to date.

$ pkg_version -v | grep -v =
bash-3.2.25                         <   needs updating (port has 3.2.39_1)
bison-2.3_3,1                       <   needs updating (port has 2.3_4,1)
...
nano-2.0.6                          <   needs updating (port has 2.0.9)
...
Code:
$ portupgrade -v -R -PP nano

[much output comes here]
Now, I have nano updated:
Code:
[root@myfb /usr/ports]# pkg_version -v | grep -i nano
nano-2.0.9                          =   up-to-date with port

Thank you all, in advance.
 
Thanks, useful.

Code:
uname -a
FreeBSD myfb 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #0: Sun Feb 24 19:59:52 UTC 2008     root@logan.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

Yes, I am using 7.0-RELEASE version, and the point was that. Because, portupgrade -PP goes to get packages from ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7-release in its default manner. So, to change this, I used this: http://www.hydrus.org.uk/journal/portupgrade.html
Briefly, since the portupgrade utility uses uname to determine the FreeBSD version running, and one can hack uname output by setting UNAME_r variable (see man uname), so I did the work successfully by:

Code:
env UNAME_r="7.0-STABLE" portupgrade -v -R -PP m4

However, I think it's somehow a dirty way! Is there a standard good way to do this? For example setting a related variable (like the PACKAGESITE one for pkg_add you had mentioned in that post.)...
 
No, the standard way is to add PACKAGESITE variable to /etc/make.conf:

# echo PACKAGESITE=ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7-stable/Latest/ >> /etc/make.conf

This should work better :)
 
Thank you for your quick replies :)

But, as far as I know, portupgrade does NOT use the PACKAGESITE variable. I set it in make.conf and also in the command-line, but it did NOT work.

There's also the /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf file with some parameters like the following:
Code:
#   Name:               Example values:
#   OS_RELEASE:         "7.0-CURRENT"   "6.1-RELEASE-p8"
#   OS_REVISION:        "7.0"           "6.1"
#   OS_MAJOR:           "7"             "6"
#   OS_BRANCH:          "CURRENT"       "RELEASE"
#   OS_PATCHLEVEL:      ""              "-p8"
#   OS_PLATFORM:        "i386"          "amd64"
#   OS_PKGBRANCH:       "7-current"     "6.1-release"
I also set some of this variables, but did get no result.
 
ah, indeed. You have to set

Code:
ENV['OS_PKGBRANCH'] = 7-stable
in pkgtools.conf in the module PkgConfig part of that file.

I hope that one will work.

Code:
ENV['OS_PKGBRANCH'] = 7-stable

I tried this and it didn't work for my 7.1 system.. I did the folowing :

Code:
  OS_PKGBRANCH = '7-stable'

When running portupgrade I see the following, but it does work from what I can tell :

Code:
