Actually, as Ben Kaduk noted: Thanks for noticing the discrepancy, but -PP is actually the correct way to avoid using ports > I hope this is the right place to post a message like this! It's the right place. In the future, it may be worth filing a but report with send-pr, so that the change doesn't "fall through the cracks" and get forgotten. I've committed the following fix: % <application>portupgrade</application> will use ports. % To avoid using ports, specify <option>-PP</option>.</para> % % - <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>portupgrade -PR gnome2</userinput></screen> % + <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>portupgrade -PP gnome2</userinput></screen> in revision 1.268 of handbook/ports/chapter.sgml: % Checking in chapter.sgml; % /home/dcvs/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports/chapter.sgml,v <-- chapter.sgml % new revision: 1.268; previous revision: 1.267 % done % Mailing the commit message to 'doc-committers@FreeBSD.org cvs-doc@FreeBSD.org cvs-all@FreeBSD.org'. Thanks for reading our documentation so carefully, but most of all thank you for letting us know, so it can be fixed :-) - Giorgos
