Why 'portupgrade -R > gnome2' is not right? I think it should be enough to update every port > which the meta-port gnome2 is pointing, isn't it? There are a number of gnome ports not covered by gnome2. They may be covered by other meta-ports (e.g. gnome2-power-tools, gnome2-office) or may be ports not part of any meta-port but still using gnome libraries and working with the Gnome environment. 'portupgrade -R gnome2' will miss these and this can lead to a variety of odd behaviors. If there are specific ports you don't want upgraded use the '-x' option or put them in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf. Your life will be much simpler down the road. -- R.
