mfaridi · May 12, 2009

after I run cvsup , I see many packages from gnome upgrade from

Code:

2.26.0

to

Code:

2.26.1

and when I use this command

Code:

portmaster -D -u x11/gnome2

this command upgrade some of them and do not upgrade all of them for example
these packages dot upgrade

Code:

gnome-applets ,gnome-devel-docs, gnome-power-manager

and many packages dose not upgrade

You can try the -r switch to portmaster.

Personally, I prefer to use pkg_version -vl '<' to get a list of all the ports with updates availables. Then use copy/paste to just list the ones I want updated, pasting them after portmaster -bd so it will work on the list of ports.
