Maybe we could get together some time and understand what's happening over a cup of tea. Anyway. I don't know ruby at all. In fact, I don't know any programming language very well at all. % more `which portupgrade` <search for "-a", "-r" and "-R"> opts.def_option("-a", "--all", "Do with all the installed packages") { |$all| $recursive =3D false $upward_recursive =3D false } opts.def_option("-r", "--recursive", "Do with all those depending on the given packages" << NEXTLINE << "as well") { $recursive =3D true unless $all } opts.def_option("-R", "--upward-recursive", "Do with all those required by the given packages" << NEXTLINE << "as well / Fetch recursively if -F is specified") { $upward_recursive =3D true unless $all $fetch_recursive =3D true } Fortunately, my somewhat basic English allows me to understand it. Now what part of that is not covered by the manpage?
