When I am in FreeBSD I have to be always aware that I have to check these files before upgrading the system. And I need to do some custom things myself. When I am in Ubuntu apt-get just does everything by itself without manual intervention. Why FreeBSD doesn't automate things that are in UPDATING files as well? In almost 100% of cases it's no-brainer. Why can't portupgrade just execute a script instead of posting such script in UPDATING file and have me run it? Yuri
