I can't speak for Doug as to what gets added to portmaster. However, as a user of portmaster, I would like to say that just because portupgrade (or portmanager, or port-tool-of-the-month) has a specific feature, doesn't mean it absolutely needs to be added to portmaster. Personally, I can say that in my many years of using port management tools (on firewalls, routers, servers, and desktops), I have never had a need for a feature like this. -- Freddie Cash fjwcash@gmail.com
