Hello, > Is there a "best practice" for automated updating large number of > interdependant ports? [..] > What about ports that have dialog boxes which require user intervention? you can use /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf to tell portupgrade which options to use when upgrading a certain port. I usually check the makefile of ports I want to install for necessary defines and set these together with "BATCH=YES" in pkgtools.conf, then use portinstall to install the port and check if it honors the BATCH=YES.
