Before I ran portmanager I deleted all my distfiles and ran portupgrade -arRfF to fetch a brand new set (I had far too many stale ones). I notice that for example all the mplayer skins distfiles have been downloaded despite /var/db/ports/mplayer/options saying WITHOUT_SKIN_...=true for most of them. Is there some way to make portupgrade respect config files in /var/db/ports/? Q2 Can I tell portupgrade to go through the configs of all the ports it is going to upgrade so that I can set them all in one go and then let portupgrade (or portmanager) get on with things unattended? If not would this be a useful addition to portupgrade functionality? I would like to include options that are in Makefiles as well as 'make config' menus. Thanks btw thank you to the author of portmanager, it's wonderful (and I love the way it works by making excuses not to do things. :-D) Chris
