Correct. > If you use portmaster you can just run 'portmaster -af' or follow the > instructions near the end of its manual page (before Doug Barton > goes correcting me ;) ) I'm not Doug, but I based on my experience with the transition (using portmaster), I'd say that would be overkill: you don't need to force-upgrade all installed ports merely because X.org was upgraded (except in the rather special case that all installed ports are part of or depend on parts of X.org). When I did the upgrade, there was a problem with one of the input drivers that the x11/xorg meta-port had brought in (but that I didn't actually use); that was fixed within a couple of days, so if I were to do the upgrade, I'd merely use portmaster --index -ad but you'll want to evaluate that compared to your normal practice and proceed accordingly. (In my case, that's what I normally use to upgrade ports, absent an applicable UPDATING entry directing other actions.) Peace, david --=20 David H.
