interactively portupgrading to selectively upgrade certain ports in FreeBSD
March 29, 2005 2:41 pmTo interactively portupgrade your FreeBSD port system so you can select which one to upgrade or ignore, use the -i option.
A pause will look like this:
—> Upgrading ‘ruby-bdb1-0.1.9′ to ‘ruby-bdb1-0.2.1′
(databases/ruby/bdb1)
OK? [yes]
Notice the default response of yes in the square brackets. That means if you press enter, you are saying yes. If you decide you’d rather not upgrade this port, type in the word no instead.
