Hi, After a database headache caused by my own doofusity, I've been contemplating switching from portupgrade. (Hey, it's been a few years, things could have changed.) Checking in /usr/ports/sysutils, it seems that we have a whole bunch of different tools -- portmaster, portmanager, portsman, and portupgrade. A search of the mailing list archive doesn't seem to lead me to a clear successor or improvement upon portupgrade. Is portupgrade still as good as it gets, or are we headed towards another tool any time soon? Thanks, ==ml -- Michael W.
