It is right behavior of this option, but I think its name is confusing. I think it should be names something like "show-deps" or "show-installed-deps" instead of "show-work". The name "show-work" is more like "show me what steps will be done", so for example in the following case "I want" to know what is installed (and up to date), what is installed (but will be updated), and what is not installed and will be installed. example: list of available updates ImageMagick-nox11-6.5.7.10 < needs updating (index has 6.5.8.10) apache-2.2.13 < needs updating (index has 2.2.14_5) apr-db42-1.3.8.1.3.9 < needs updating (index has 1.3.9.1.3.9_1) bash-4.0.24 < needs updating (index has 4.0.35) ca_root_nss-3.11.9_2 < needs updating (index has 3.12.4) curl-7.19.7 < needs updating (index has 7.19.7_1) daemontools-0.76_12 < needs updating (index has 0.76_14) expat-2.0.1 < needs updating (index has 2.0.1_1) ghostscript8-nox11-8.64_7 < needs updating (index has 8.70) help2man-1.36.4_2 < needs updating (index has 1.36.4_3) lcms-1.18a_1,1 < needs updating (index has 1.19,1) m4-1.4.12,1 < needs updating (index has 1.4.13,1) mrtg-2.16.2_1,1 < needs updating (index has 2.16.2_2,1) mysql-client-5.0.88 < needs updating (index has 5.0.89) mysql-server-5.0.88 < needs updating (index has 5.0.89) openvpn-2.0.6_9 < needs updating (index has 2.1.1) p5-DBD-mysql-4.012 < needs updating (index has 4.013) p5-Scalar-List-Utils-1.21,1 < needs updating (index has 1.22,1) p5-Term-ANSIColor-1.12 < needs updating (index has 2.02) p5-URI-1.50 < needs updating (index has 1.52) php5-5.2.11_1 < needs updating (index has 5.2.12) php5-bz2-5.2.11_1 < needs updating (index has 5.2.12) php5-ctype-5.2.11_1 < needs updating (index has 5.2.12) php5-curl-5.2.11_1 < needs updating (index has 5.2.12) php5-dom-5.2.11_1 < needs updating (index has 5.2.12) php5-exif-5.2.11_1 < needs updating (index has 5.2.12) php5-ftp-5.2.11_1 < needs updating (index has 5.2.12) php5-gd-5.2.11_2 < needs updating (index has 5.2.12) php5-iconv-5.2.11_1 < needs updating (index has 5.2.12) php5-imap-5.2.11_1 < needs updating (index has 5.2.12) php5-json-5.2.11_1 < needs updating (index has 5.2.12) php5-mbstring-5.2.11_1 < needs updating (index has 5.2.12) php5-mcrypt-5.2.11_1 < needs updating (index has 5.2.12) php5-mysql-5.2.11_1 < needs updating (index has 5.2.12) php5-mysqli-5.2.11_1 < needs updating (index has 5.2.12) php5-openssl-5.2.11_1 < needs updating (index has 5.2.12) php5-pcre-5.2.11_1 < needs updating (index has 5.2.12) php5-posix-5.2.11_1 < needs updating (index has 5.2.12) php5-session-5.2.11_1 < needs updating (index has 5.2.12) php5-simplexml-5.2.11_1 < needs updating (index has 5.2.12) php5-sockets-5.2.11_1 < needs updating (index has 5.2.12) php5-spl-5.2.11_1 < needs updating (index has 5.2.12) php5-sqlite-5.2.11_1 < needs updating (index has 5.2.12) php5-tokenizer-5.2.11_1 < needs updating (index has 5.2.12) php5-xml-5.2.11_1 < needs updating (index has 5.2.12) php5-xmlreader-5.2.11_1 < needs updating (index has 5.2.12) php5-xmlwriter-5.2.11_1 < needs updating (index has 5.2.12) php5-zip-5.2.11_1 < needs updating (index has 5.2.12) php5-zlib-5.2.11_1 < needs updating (index has 5.2.12) phpMyAdmin-3.2.3 < needs updating (index has 3.2.5) png-1.2.40 < needs updating (index has 1.2.42) portmaster-2.12 < needs updating (index has 2.16) portupgrade-2.4.6_2,2 < needs updating (index has 2.4.6_3,2) proftpd-mysql-1.3.2b < needs updating (index has 1.3.2c) rsync-3.0.6 < needs updating (index has 3.0.7) ruby+nopthreads-1.8.7.160_5,1 < needs updating (index has 1.8.7.248,1) smartmontools-5.38_8 < needs updating (index has 5.39) sudo-1.6.9.20 < needs updating (index has 1.7.2.2) vim-lite-7.2.299 < needs updating (index has 7.2.323) #

Users then will know what will be done. It will be also useful with -x (excluding) to test before real run. What do you think about my proposal? The next step (non default) can be interactive run of portmaster for beginers with questions like: # portmaster php5-extensions The following ports will be updated or installed as part of update of php5-extensions: [there will be similar list as above] Do you really want to continue the update?
