Just taking this into account, the /usr/ports/UPDATING file claims to run:

   # portmaster -o devel/autoconf devel/autoconf268
   # portmaster -o devel/automake devel/automake111
   # portmaster -o devel/libtool devel/libtool22
   # portmaster -o devel/libltdl devel/libltdl22

However, after cd'ing to /usr/ports/ the output I get is as so:

# portmaster -o devel/autoconf devel/autoconf268

===>>> The second argument to -o can be a port in /var/db/pkg,
        or a port directory from /usr/ports

        devel/autoconf268 does not seem to be installed,
        or listed as a dependency

===>>> No valid installed port, or port directory given
===>>> Try portmaster --help


Some comments in-line, but you MUST read /us/ports/UPDATING when ports
upgrading ports, especially when it has been a long time since the
existing ports were installed.




I don't really understand how to use the /usr/ports/UPDATING file as I 
had a look for the Apache22 version that I have installed only couldn't 
find anything as it spoke about updating Apache13 to Apache20 then 
Apache22. Nothing came up with the different sub-versions of the 
Apache22 port which I have installed.


Per this: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/ports-using.html

I have run portmaster -L and am now running portmaster -a

however, on doing so my terminal now seems to be caught in a recursive 
loop under: devel/php5-spl as it's displaying the same thing over and 
over again and not seeming to make any progress???
