("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 -- Philip J.
