Solved [Solved] /usr/ports/UPDATING

If you use portmaster to build ports from source:

# portmaster -o java/openjdk7 openjdk6
# portmaster -R -r openjdk

but

sudo portmaster -R -r openjdk

===>>> The argument to -r must match only one port
===>>> Aborting update

What is the right syntax?

Re: UPDATING

Sorry, I was too fast, this works (e.g): sudo portmaster -R -r openjdk6-b31_4,1

Re: UPDATING

portmaster -o java/openjdk7 openjdk6 means "make everything that depended on jdk6 depend on jdk7 now."

So there is not much reason to rebuild jdk6. Instead, it could just be deleted.

Re: UPDATING

Yes, I know. I take this only as an example. I hope this is the right phrase in English: "I got my wires crossed"
