What are you using to upgrade "all installed ports" that rebuilds ports that are current? This shouldn't happen with portupgrade or other port management tools even if you use the "all" option. However it is sometimes necessary to rebuild a port if it depends upon something that is upgraded. This is pretty much unavoidable when applications share libraries. > tired of having my main box grinding away for endless days.... You can persuade port management tools to use packages when packages are available. -- Lars Eighner http://www.larseighner.com/index.html 8800 N IH35 APT 1191 AUSTIN TX 78753-5266
