Here is an excerpt from that file: # HOLD_PKGS: array # # This is a list of ports you don't want portupgrade(1) to upgrade, # portversion(1) to suggest upgrading, or pkgdb(1) to fix. Its a very handy tool since you can also set make variables which portupgrade will also honor. Best regards, Randy --
