Hi all, I have a mixture of ports and packages on my system. Mostly ports, but since my machine is not all that fast I decided not to compile things like OpenOffice.org for obvious reasons. I have two questions about portupgrade: 1. If I do "portupgrade -rR port" it will recompile the new version of "port" and related ports as expected but it will also try to compile up any packages that are dependent. Is there a way to tell it not to upgrade packages, or to upgrade them using a new package? 2. If, when initially compiling a port, I specified options to make (eg "make USE_MOZILLA=firefox install clean") how do I ensure that portupgrade will use the same options? Many thanks Rich
