Is there a way to cause portmaster -a to display it's logic for adding ports? Specifically, I have a system with perl5-5.20.3_8 already installed, but running portmaster -a stipulates that lang/perl5.22 should be installed. This, of course, fails due to conflict. Presumably another port I'm...

Hi, I'd like to know if you have a good way of keeping a system completely up to date in a completely automated way. If my understanding is correct, I can add 42 8 * * * freebsd-update cron in root's crontab to have the base system (I guess that means the kernel and the programs in /bin)...

(Some issues in common with https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/pkg-broken-after-ugrading-freebsd-from-10-1-to-10-2.52817/, notably the lack of libucl.so.1) Before upgrading from 10.1-STABLE to 10.2-RELEASE, pkg was working nicely. After upgrading, libucl.so.1 is missing. This seems very weird...
