OK, I can try -i but how do I know whether particular port was updated or not, if I didn't check before the port version? > Also, check in portmaster manpage for the +IGNOREME part in the FILES > section if it's what you want.

I used +IGNOREME file for some ports like openoffice, java, so I know I can use it for some ports. >> No. Neither portmaster, nor portupgrade has this option, or >> any session management for that matter. >> >>> 2.

Yes, you are right, regular user might select skip if he/she doesn't know what to do. thanks, Ganbold > > Cheers, > Mezz > > > --mezz7@cox.net - mezz@FreeBSD.org > FreeBSD GNOME Team - FreeBSD Multimedia Hat (ports, not src) > http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/ - gnome@FreeBSD.org > http://wiki.freebsd.org/multimedia - multimedia@FreeBSD.org > > >
