Hi
man portupgrade advises:
-f
--force Force the upgrade of a package even if it is to be
a downgrade or just a reinstall of the same ver-
sion, or the port is held by user using the
HOLD_PKGS variable in pkgtools.conf.
In practice on freebsd 7.2 p3 amd generic I find that uptodate packages are
excluded!
[Exclude up-to-date packages ............
[done]
Whereas I wish to have all identified packages rebuilt even if they are shown
as being up to date. This may be necessary if, for example, a change has been
made to make.conf which affects ports might have an up to date version but
were compiled prior to the changes in make.conf.
Unless I am mistaken it seems as though the -f option not produce results I
expect after reading the man page.
