I just got around last week to looking at it (although it had been on my radar for some time longer), and I must say I quite like it. Especially because I can now pass options to the ports building (which is the main reason I use ports, not packages) - such as -DA4 for ghostscript. portupgrade hasn't fubar'ed things yet, but I must admit that I haven't really done a major shared library upgrade either. But at least it's worth a look! --Stijn -- "I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not so sure."
