Upgrading from Postfix 2.4.14,1

[dougs]

Postfix 2.4 is no longer supported and thus is not in the ports. I failed to get around to upgrading before that version was removed from the ports just recently. Since I use portmaster, I cannot use:

# portmaster -o mail/postfix mail/postfix24

as the postfix24 port does not exist.

What's the best way to upgrade to mail/postfix under this circumstance?

Should I pkg_delete -f postfix-2.4.14,1 and make install from /usr/ports/mail/postfix and then portmaster -rR mail/postfix?

Try using the installed package name instead of the port's category/name as the second argument to portmaster -o. This is what the manual actually suggests. If that doesn't work, go the route you suggested in the previous post.

portmaster -o mail/postfix postfix-2.4.14,1 appears to have worked. I tried rebuilding the postfix dependencies (postmaster -r postfix) thereafter and all appears to be fine.

Thanks!
