I guess my approach to updates with portupgrade does not apply well to portmaster since portupgrade does not update dependencies by default. On a sliglty out of date box i would start updating dependencies such as libraries (portupgrade lib\*) before i would do the actual programs, and this would only update what needed an update instead of rebuilding everything. I just never felt comfortable for some reason using the -R option in portupgrade. You are probably right that this is not needed, i'll just have to change my habbits. Sorry for the noise, and thanks for the work on this port. > I think it's pretty obvious what my preference is, but if you can > demonstrate the need I'm willing to consider it. > > > Doug
