Honestly guys, what is this thread about? You're not gonna make portupgrade work any faster or smoother if you weed out a couple of switches from the command-line. I don't mean to bother anyone if you're having fun, but it just seems that portupgrade's manpage covers it all. If you're not sure - just try it. If something's strange - see if it's a bug, and if you're sure it is - send-pr. chat@ is the right place for topics like this one.. Cheerz, Andrew P.
