Correct me if Im wrong. You are correct, at least from the last time I checked. I once thought of writing a GUI front end to portupgrade. Then I realized that that's part of the goal of the libh project. So why bother when libh would be out by the time I finished a stable 1.0? A nicer front end to cvsup would be a more useful project, particularly if it had a supfile configuration dialog of sorts. It's slow and dawdling, but I think libh will finally arrive if we're patient. I would help work on it, but I need a dedicated -unstable machine that I can afford to muck up. David
