Quick question: I'm getting interested in using portupgrade -FR to prefetch a port's source and its dependencies (and maybe even run the fetching in a 2nd session while other parts are compiling). But I can only get it to work on stuff that is already installed. It works great then. Is there an equivalent means to prefetch dependencies for a port that ISN'T installed yet? For example, I hadn't installed mozilla yet on this box but when I ran: portupgrade -FR mozilla-devel I got an error that there was no such package installed. Sorry if this is a newbie question. [I tried to research this but case-insensitivity (-fr is diff than -FR) in search engines was making it useless.] ===== Scott I.
