I like to keep packages of the software I build for installation on to other local boxes (especially for things like KDE, which take about a whole day to build from scratch). When you use portupgrade to update something and build packages, it will repackage anything that depends on the current port being built. However, the dependencies registered into that package will have all kinds of stale package versions, as outlined in my PR. To work around that, I don't have portupgrade build packages, but every so often will run pkg_tarup to make the packages files of my installed ports. This gets the dependencies right (even if it does duplicate some). -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D. Khera Communications, Inc.
