Brian,
I have been using portupgrade since it was first added to ports and,
for the past 5 or 6 months, it's been close to flawless. Before that
it required a fair bit of hand-holding and occasion manual massage of
the databases.
portupgrade is also a good toll to mess up a system if not properly
used. Read the man pages before trying to use it.
My "standard" procedure is:
1. Create a ${prefix}/etc/pkgtools.conf file for ports that require
special options. I use this for galeon2, nautilus2, and the
like. Start with the .sample.config file supplied. I will append
my file as an example. Normally I only need to touch the MAKE_ARGS
section, but you may want to do other things and this tool allows
lots of customizations.
2. cvsup ports tree
3. portsdb -Uu (There are several ways to cut down the time required to
do this, but I'll leave it at the vanilla stage to avoid
confusion.)
4. portversion -vL= (to list the ports in need to upgrade)
5. portupgrade -R portupgrade (Only needed if portupgrade was listed
in 4.)
6. portupgrade -Ra (This upgrades everything in the proper order)
This usually is all that is required. Occasionally there will be a
change which REQUIRES that all ports dependent on some other port be
upgraded (as was the case for Xft). For that you need to use the -f
option (portupgrade -fR Xft).
Oh, and in case you missed it the first time, READ THE MAN PAGES!
