However: on a single machine, it shouldn't be that hard to just remember. On one machine with almost 1000 ports installed, less that 200 get upgraded more than one per year. Of those in the 200 that involve code, maybe 50 get upgraded more than once every three months. And those tend to be either trivial, or huge (gnome, wine, openoffice, etc.). > Do you prefer doing a mass or selective upgrade? The difference? Robert Huff
