Stop package from upgrading

Question: How do I tell portupgrade to not upgrade a particular port? Say, an upgraded app breaks on my system and I want it to be ignored when I do an "upgrade all" via portupgrade.

Answer:

  • Use the '-x' option

  • Long term solution - HOLD_PKGS in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf
