upgrading ports using portupgrade

cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portupgrade
make install clean


# portupgrade -ai

When you run portupgrade -a, portupgrade will begin to upgrade all the outdated ports installed on your system. Use the -i flag if you want to be asked for confirmation of every individual upgrade

# portupgrade -R firefox

 If you want to upgrade only a certain application, not all available ports, use portupgrade pkgname. Include the
-R flag if portupgrade should


first upgrade all the ports required by the given application.

# portupgrade -PP gnome2

To use packages instead of ports for installation, provide -P flag. With this option portupgrade
searches the local directories listed in PKG_PATH, or fetches
packages from remote site if it is not found locally. If packages can not be found
locally or fetched remotely, portupgrade will use ports. To avoid using ports, specify -PP.
