Hello,


Just a wild suggestion: what about adding -Pp as an option when running 
portupgrade ?

The dirty reason is this: If the gnome_upgade.sh is aborted, some old 
packages are reinstalled by portupgrade. The next time the script is 
run, these packages are rebuilt (thanks to portupgrade blind cleanup 
before a build). Some of the packages can be quite long to rebuild.
If the machine is very slow, and the machine must be turn off, say for 
the sake of the human trying to sleep next to it, the process doesn't 
take a day trip but weeks.
Adding this option could speed up things for that particular case.

That was just a suggestion :)

Denis
