=46rom the man:
-a
--all Do with all the installed packages. Equivalent to
specify '*' as pkgname_glob.
-r
--recursive Act on all those packages depending on the given
packages as well.
-R
--upward-recursive Act on all those packages required by the given
packages as well. (When specified with -F,
fetch recursively, including the brand new,
uninstalled ports that an upgraded port requires)
I don't see anything that specifically states the the "-R or -r" flags are
in included with the "-a" flag; although I might be misinterpreting it.
If it was implied i think it should have been better documented.
Perhaps the only way to positively ascertain the correct answer would
be to actually study the apps code, something I have neither the time
nor inclination to do.
