After so long time using portupgrade I gave portmaster a chance to convince me in daily usage. Now I am very happy with this decision and I begin to really like portmaster. One feature I would like to see implemented is a switch 'list only ports that have available updates'. I want to know all affected ports in summary before the builds so I am able to make decisions (i.e. 'portmaster -a' or just 'portmaster port', and think of the 'devel/gettext' update or other huge / long builds like gnome / gtk+ etc.). I am aware of the '-L' switch and the possibility to grep such ports. But this is a bit odd and not very likable. I want a similar output like 'portversion -vL=', i.e. port name along with old and new version numbering but only for ports with a different version available than installed (can also be an older version, think of a manually modified ports tree). Could you please add this small feature? Then I am actually able to do without portupgrade and its other tools. Thank you in advance! -- Kind regards, Sticky Bit *** True standards compliant plain text emails preferred. ***
