(That will in turn upgrade php, maybe > apache...) Portupgrade has a no-execute option (-n) which will allow you to see what would be done without actually performing the operation; for example: portupgrade -nfRr gd will end with a list of ports that would be updated. Another port you may find useful is ports-mgmt/pkg_tree which will show a dependency tree for a port. HTH, Randy --
