Hi,

Having used portupgrade for several years I'm thinking to make the
switch to portmaster since both of them seem to be fully supported as
far as upgrading ports is concerned.

Anything to consider when going from portupgrade to portmaster?

Caveats/pitfalls?

Is there also a way back, i.e. from portmaster to portupgrade?

What are your experiences with portmaster, esp. in terms of stability,
handling, features?

Thanks much in advance,
-ewald
