It is usually okay, but it wastes a lot of time when most of the dependent packages have already been rebuilt or upgraded (e.g. after a GNOME upgrade or the X.org 7.2 upgrade). >How-To-Repeat: "portupgrade -fr gettext" on a system where GNOME 2.x is installed. (... *sigh*) >Fix: In UPDATING, suggest "portupgrade -frx '>=PKG' PKG" instead of the unconditional "portupgrade -fr PKG". >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
