I distinctly remember adding it to the manpage. This was a nice idea before portupgrade came along, but too many people managed to shoot themselves in the foot with it. I guess people are still doing it. :-( Thanks to Jeremy Lea, who had the wisdom to leave this feature *out* when he reimplemented pkg_version for -CURRENT. > My recommendation to you, if you really want to do this (and I still > don't think it's the best idea in the world), is the following > sequence: I am concerned that the original poster might have his ports setup so confused now that it might be better just to wipe everything out and start over. (If it means anything, I think that knu has done a fantastic job with portupgrade, and it's what I use regularly.)
