Once upon a time it was said that one of the cool things about
Portupgrade, was that you could use it to upgrade itself.
("portupgrade -{|r|R} portupgrade")
But this never worked for me - caused all sorts of weird Ruby and
dependency problems, orphaned Ruby shim thingies, etc.
So I got into the habit of completely removing Portupgrade and
everything associated with it including all the Ruby stuff, and
reinstalling them all, in order to upgrade. (it was the only way that
worked for me)
Have things improved in the meantime? Is there an easy way to
upgrade Portupgrade without removing everything and re-installing? I
currently have the 20020706 version installed.
TIA,
Phil
