We won't stop you from doing cvsup + portupgrade -a in a cron job. You probably don't want to update automatically though. Major changes sometimes occur in a port (either the Maintainer, or the actual developers of the port did something real big) Not much we can do about it, and this is somewhat out of scope of what ports can/should do. (hmm: for more safety, part of your update script that runs cvsup and portupgrade would not upgrade ports that appear in /usr/ports/UPDATING. or add a flag to portupgrade to enable this behavior.) -- Robin Schoonover (aka End) # # To attract a vegetarian, make a noise like a wounded vegetable. #
