I have had problems in the past getting 'portupgrade' to properly update all of the dependencies required when doing a major update; i.e., 'gettext'.=20 On the other hand, I have never had a problem using 'portmanager' provided I used the '-p -f' flags. Portmanager can update its list of ports that need updating on the fly. I do not believe that either portupdate or portmaster have that ability. I noticed that when doing the 'gettext' update, it twice recalculated the number of ports that needed to have their dependencies updated. It would probably behoove anyone prior to doing a massive update to clean out the '/usr/ports/distfiles' directory and possibly running 'portsclean -C -D -l -PP' to insure that any old crud was not laying around. It certainly couldn't hurt. Just my 2 cents. --=20 Gerard Be careful how you get yourself involved with persons or situations that can't bear inspection. --Sig_tO5Afm/85fnX0gF9oC3rxhU Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFGDCRiFCqdq4D1ybYRArOGAKC7XGZueCAHViA65jBf2+p5EmUlXwCgovI7 Fw+i4tPSutthgJc+xuWvPYQ= =fBr+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_tO5Afm/85fnX0gF9oC3rxhU--
