The importance of this cannot very easily be overstated. It's better to deal with any special handling the upgrading of specific ports need in advance than to have things break and need to go back and fix them afterward. The /usr/ports/UPDATING file gives the guidance we need to ensure that things get handled right the first time. In fact, I basically never use portupgrade -a, because I want to make sure I don't overlook something. --=20 Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] --XF85m9dhOBO43t/C Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkvcbrsACgkQ9mn/Pj01uKUedgCg1PlLsJfd+EJ0xadxX/lcRele SrUAoNzOIpkzmw59BoioO3xc+XNp5Xeo =jJAv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --XF85m9dhOBO43t/C--
