Hi list, I am trying out portmanager-0.2.2, on a 5.3-RELEASE box. I have openoffice-1.1.3.20040810 installed. I don't want to upgrade openoffice at this time, as I don't have the space for a full compile and will wait for a new package. I have set openoffice to be held in pkgtools.conf in /usr/local/etc. Portupgrade honours this setting. Portmanager doesn't, therefore every time I attempt to run portmanager it tries to compile openoffice-1.1.4.20041101_1 I have looked at portmanager and cannot find a way to prevent it updating certain ports, and it doesn't honour the hold_pkgs in pkgtools.conf. Any ideas as to how to make portmanager ignore held ports? This problem makes portmanager unusable for me, as it updates openoffice first, so it never actually gets to the smaller out of date ports. Many thanks in advance .nbco
