Basically that script does a portupgrade -a. That seems unwarranted, unnecesary and extremely dangerous, especially since there is absolutely zero indication anywhere that the script is going to upgrade stuff that has absolutely NOTHING to do with gnome. The author of the script has all rights to think that: # Everyone should run a portupgrade -a on their # system from time to time anyway. but it really seems more than questionable to actually enforce that without prominent prior notice. Had I known that such sensitive packages Procmail, Apache and MySQL (and 90 other packages with absolutely no relationship to GNOME) would be upgraded by the script, I certainly would NOT have started the process. This is now likely to cause me hours of work to fix up the mess such a sweeping upgrade is bound to cause. Thomas.
