Be careful using portupgrade for EVERYTHING. Upgrading things can at times
mess up your old configuration settings. If you update everything at once,
it tough to figure out what's not working immediately assuming you have
lots of stuff installed - like me.
This is a script I wrote that somewhat helps me manage my machine and the
ports installation. I usually use the "port-upgrade" option and walk
through the ports I think are important first. Once I have everything
important individually upgraded and verified as working. I actually rarely
using the allport-upgrade switch with this script anymore.
