What about extending "make" so that it is possible to do the following: $ cd /usr/ports/foo/bar $ make update "make" would then automatically deal with updating dependencies for that specific port, remove the old version and build the new one. I know this thread is mostly about updating all your ports at once, but this seems to be a good start. Using "make" in such a way ties in nicely with the current use of the ports system in my opinion. -Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
