> Portupgrade ideas page was created on our wiki server: > http://wiki.freebsd.org/portupgrade > > I would like to hear your ideas, wishes and comments. 1) i would wish for portupgrade to automatically meet new requirements upon upgrading. both pkg_add and make install do this, portupgrade should too. upgrading a port and not installing a new requirement is almost never desired and shouldnt be default. (i.e. -R should not be required for this, instead if at all it should be achieved by -N ) 2) when using portupgrade in -P mode it should check dependencies before(!) doing a make install, otherwise requirements will always be installed via source, even though a current package might exist. an example: port A has no package and requires B that does have package. if i portupgrade -P "A" both are installed from source although B could have - and following the manual for -P, should have - been installed via package. anyway thank you very much for your work! greetings hannes hauswedell
