This should make it possible to have large uninterrupted builds. - New option for -l : draw a dependency graph of the entire build order. - New option to show what would be done and in what order, a.k.a. 'dryrun'. And minor : - New option to echo portmaster script version. - Add http://dougbarton.us/portmaster.html url to usage(). Oh, and thanks for writing portmaster :) Keep up the good work. Any plans for a sysutils/portmaster port ? regards, Hans Lambermont
