Hi.

I think portupgrade-devel is quite stable now. I use it on all servers
where I update ports often without problems. But anyway I need more
testers who could confirm its stablity. After a week of testing I'll
update portupgrade port to this version and start a next developing stage.

How you can help? Just run the command:
portupgarde -fo sysutils/portupgrade-devel portupgrade
And use it as usually you do.

Some differences with a stable branch are:
* Made database files locking to prevent their breakage if you run a few
portupgrade processes (as I do).
* more smart pkgdb -F behavior. It's aware of OPTIONS, /etc/make.conf
and pkgtools.conf. So you will asked less (stupid) questions.
* many little improvements some of witch I've merged in stable branch.
* many bug fixes.
etc.

More complete history of changes you can see in
/usr/local/share/doc/pkgtools/NEWS file.

Any feedback send me privately please.
And thanks for you help.
