You may upgrade the port trough portupgrade without any concerns. I do so 
for more then 10 years so it is OK for me so far.

I usually use in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf:
 PORTUPGRADE_ARGS = ENV['PORTUPGRADE'] || '-v -c -C -r -R' 

And I execute portupgrade:
 portupgrade -v -i -a -y

If I want to force all upgrades:
 portupgrade -v -i -a -y -f

Is it safe to upgrade libraries?






Hello

When running "'pkg_version -v", I notice that some libraries are out
of date, such as the most important glib:

glib-2.14.6                         <   needs updating (port has
2.16.3)

Before I go ahead and run "cd /usr/ports/devel/glib20 ; make ; make
install", I'd like to check what the recommended way is to upgrade
critical applications like this?

As I connect remotely through SSH, I wouldn't want to break this box
and have to drive to the location because it won't run after the
upgrade.

Thank you.
