from RW <rwmaillists@googlemail.com>: > Portupgrade and portmanager can do this - I don't know about > portmaster. In portupgrade it would be: > portupgrade -rf perl png > portmanager automatically builds ports that depend on out of date ports. I would first need to portmaster -o lang/perl5.16 lang/perl5.14 Not sure if category is necessary with portmaster, but portupgrade never worked for me without the category, thus portupgrade graphics/png would work, but not portupgrade png Then, from UPDATING file, I could do either portmaster p5- (conservative) or portmaster -r perl- (comprehensive, but possibly overkill). I would also need portmaster -r png- Maybe I could combine these as portmaster -r png- -r perl- Would that work right? In my original post, I mentioned that I wanted to upgrade some ports for reasons other than compatibility with the newer png and perl. Reasons included printing on recalcitrant HP printer (hplip) and getting multimedia to work right on more things (gnash, ffmpeg, vlc). Tom
