In tcsh, I found "foreach" but not "for", but found "for" command in sh. My worry is rebuilding hplip, gnash, swfdec, seamonkey, xorg-server and some other big ports twice each. I have Sandy Bridge system and want to try the new xorg-server with KMS. I hope "portmaster -r png- -r perl-" wouldn't rebuild ports with png- and then again with perl- . FreeBSD users tend to trust UPDATING file, so if "portmaster p5-" doesn't work well, it ought to be corrected. Tom
