I will updating develfaq.html to show how to upgrade from 2.18 to 2.20 tonight when I am home. It is pretty simple to upgrade GNOME. I have successed upgrade in my test box by: # portmaster -o textproc/rarian textproc/scrollkeeper # portmaster -a As for the portupgrade users, I haven't test it but I image that it shouldn't be difference with portmaster. You can do this. # portupgrade -o textproc/rarian textproc/scrollkeeper # portupgrade -a If anyone have any problem with runtime, give us a shout as usually.
