That's the only real remaining shortfall of portmaster, IMO. It still needs hand-holding to finish its job often times. For example, I just did the big rebuild you're getting ready for. I spent a good 45 minutes updating ports.conf beforehand, fetching a good number of distfiles in advance, and configuring ports before starting the massive build. I also told portmaster to ignore 3 ports (1 broken, 2 would most likely fail to build for one reason or another.) So, I started the build and left. Came back 7 hours later and portmaster had barely run an hour and was stuck waiting for input. What was so important? It wanted to know if it should go ahead an update the 3 ports that I had just explicitly told it not to upgrade 10 minutes before I started it (by using .IGNOREME files). Of course I don't want it to upgrade them anyway. If I wanted them upgraded, I wouldn't have installed IGNOREME files. So, portmaster still needs some hand-holding compared to other tools. But, it still beats portupgrade IMO. -- Skip
