What if a port now has a new dependency? But back to 'r', My system shows this: --------------------------------------------------- $ pkg_info -xR openldap Information for openldap-client-2.2.29: Required by: bluefish-1.0.4 dirmngr-0.9.2 gnome-menus-2.10.2_1 gnomevfs2-2.10.1_1 gnupg-devel-1.9.19 gtksourceview-1.2.1 libbonoboui-2.10.1 libgnomeui-2.10.1_1 rox-2.3 samba-libsmbclient-3.0.20_2 --------------------------------------------------- Just to be clear on this, if I do... # portupgrade -r openldap-client ...all those listed ports will be recompiled whether they need to be or not? That seems mighty inefficient. __________________________________________________________ Find your next car at http://autos.yahoo.ca
